I have no clue how you can watch some the throws he makes and say this shit?? Does his pocket game need some work? Probably, but you can coach that, this is his 1st year starting after all, you can’t coach some the things he does that are simply god given ability of which he has off the charts.
I pushed back on the mahomes hype a lot early on (just my nature) but more I watch him the more he makes play 90% of the starting qbs in this league simply can’t make. I don’t even think that disputable.
You talkin about who he has done wha against but last week the ravens put a beating on him and he just made one winning play after another when they needed it.
Running to your right or left on the move and unleashing a throw is nice to watch. It’s an impressive feat.
But as good as those throws are a good qb coach would chastise Mahomes for making such throws.
You see making those throws is not supposed to happen in the first place. You are supposed to go through your progressions.
These plays to the casual fan may be impressive but to the position coach they are a sign of not playing qb the right way.
You cannot win divisional games by running around playing sandlot football and making ill advised throws. That’s flag football style.
Mahomes short comings cannot be coached.
He’s a guy with a tremendously talented arm. But other than arm I see most of his game being sub par
Footwork is sub par
Pocket awareness is sub par
Touch throws is sub par
Rolls to his right too much. Sub par quality
Reading defenses is sub par. Holds ball way too long
Leadership is sub par
Arm strength is Elite
Ability to throw on run is Elite
Ability to throw off platform is Elite
Ability to throw deep is Elite
As you can see from my scouting report which trust me is better and more accurate than any other scouting report out there. And I’ve not seen most of his snaps. I’ve seen about 4 full games of Mahomes.
All his elite qualities are related to Throwing. Being a mlb prospect his arm is his real asset.
The finer points of quarterbacking are lacking in this man. From footwork to reading defenses to touch throws to leadership is sub par.
He could improve but I see him as the modern day Favre. High risk qb that cannot be relied on to win the tight games.
Mahomes does make plays that 90% of qbs cannot make in the league. But the 90% also don’t have to make those plays because they play from the pocket and win from the pocket.
