If this weeks Pat shows up next week, we will lose. Hopefully, he got the rust off this week.

Ignoring who this guy considers "elite", it's crazy to see Patrick is the oldest of this group of QBs. |

This is not talking shit. I realize our run and our records I also realize there are a lot of ways to win and have success and that airing it out is not the only way.
However... Do we think Patrick sustained some kind of nagging injury or something that has impacted his ability to throw the deep ball? It has been a few years now...there have been different reasons thrown around...defenses changing to focus on taking away deep threats and us not having great WRs at times. It just really feels like he is not connecting on those deep balls like he used to at all. In the later half of this season we have had guys who get separation to make it work. Is there something at play here or am I overthinking it. Obviously only winning matters but it feels insane that all these QBs zip the ball down the field and it sometimes feels like our HOF QB can't. |

He threw a great deep ball to Hollywood Brown on Saturday. He's fine.

Yeah not only that but he threw a perfect deep ball to Watson in Pittsburgh.

I believe the 2-high shell in 2021 really transformed how we built our offense. Teams knew Mahomes would look down field all day long if he had time, so they took it away entirely. And it worked, Mahomes would force the ball deep and it just wasn't there.
In 2022, we reinvented everything to attack the intermediate with a sprinkling of the deep ball every now and then. Mahomes slaughtered defenses and won MVP and the SB that year. As for missing on deep balls in recent years, while Mahomes has an other-wordly arm, I don't think he throws an accurate, pretty deep ball. He can sometimes, but it's not repeatable. Tyreek really helped. What killed people pre-2021 was defenses weren't prepared for how fearlessly and often Mahomes would attack downfield. Defenses decided they'd rather die the slow death than face the Patomic Bomb, so slow death it's been. |
