He thinks there’s no rhythm to how he’s taking part in, and whereas it might have one thing to do with a insecurity in his receivers, he’s simply not executing the way in which he used to.
Granted, blind-side safety continues to be a serious problem for Mahomes and the Chiefs.
As soon as once more, that’s been the Achilles heel of an almost-perfect crew.
Furthermore, whereas the Chiefs have been capable of overcome gradual begins and an absence of expertise at broad receiver, it’s not a lot of a coincidence to see that their numbers and offensive play took a giant dip when Matt Nagy changed Eric Bienemy.
The Chiefs are nonetheless profitable and nonetheless have a championship-caliber protection, and it’s by no means sensible to depend out a participant like Patrick Mahomes.
Nonetheless, proper now, he’s not the participant we’re used to watching.
