Want to get a general consensus from the collective brain trust of www.chiefsplanet.com . I've heard some rumblings in different places that people are concerned with the play of Mahomes.

He owes the defense for keeping attention off of his subpar performances.
Good for the defense. Carry Pat to a Super Bowl this year and they'll be even.

Exactly. We overreact even when he plays well. Just because he doesn't throw for 500 yards and 5 touchdowns doesn't mean he isn't a great player. [Reply]
He’s playing fine. He’s just not what he was last year...which is okay. I’m more concerned about his tendency to dump off for three yards on 3rd and 7. To put it a little better, I’m more concerned that Tyreek Hill is running a three yard crossing pattern on 3rd and 7. That makes no sense. That play needs to go in the garbage can right now. [Reply]

That’s a great play because it brings the defense forward opening up the intermediate routes. If they decide to not come up on Hill then he gets the short pass and runs for an easy ten yards. [Reply]

Throws off his back foot a ton. Something is off with his play this year. Probably doesn’t trust his Oline. Can’t blame him there.
And It goes to show he relies on his abilities too much because he has no choice but to compensate for his teams weakness in the Oline.
His Oline stinks. Period.
Get the man some better Olineman and protection next year. Thats on Reid and Chiefs management for not putting their best player in a better position to succeed this year. [Reply]
