A FUCKING OPTION?! No I don't agree... and they better fucking start protecting Pat or we are going to have Steve Young brain on our hands. They learned their lesson with the QB sneaks... fucking learn from this. [Reply]

Are you serious? You do know that Brady can't actually run, right?
And Brees ran in his younger days. Hell, just two years ago we watched him run an option to help secure a win.
People need to wash the sand out of their vags right before kickoff. Start fresh. Take a pill. [Reply]

So no traditional QB sneak, no QB option/roll out plays to help the Chiefs in short yardage situations when their weak interior offensive line gets exposed with the inability to line up and run the ball.
And people will wonder why the Chiefs struggle on 3rd and 1 or 2 yards. :-) [Reply]

Hell, while we're at it, since we are going to go full-on "let's treat the QB like a china doll," we should trade Patrick for Alex asap. Then at least we'd have good reason to treat him like a piece of glass. [Reply]
I'm surprised there isn't a gif of the play posted in a header. From looking at a video on youtube it looks like he takes a helmet to the top the back of his shoulder just below the neck. But the defender also wraps his arm around his neck and attempts to pull his head off. Why that's not a penalty I don't know. That guy came with intent to injure. Was it the helmet or the arm around the neck that caused the trauma? [Reply]
Andy needs to make this a rare call and just run the ****ing ball. Hell use Kelce on those designed plays too.
It doesn’t matter whether Patrick was knocked out or choked out, his eyes were glazed and he couldn’t even stand up.
It’s still trauma and it’s still a very bad idea, especially now. Look no further than Luke Keuchly and what a handful of traumatic experiences like that did to him.
Don’t think anyone needs a reminder that Patrick is a half a billion dollar investment, so maybe treat him like one. [Reply]

He got choked out with a sleeper hold and yanked neck. Head never hit ground. Twisted hard like he was at a chiropractor with the arm of the defender across his throat.

I'd twist my ankle a bit on a rebound, or bruise my arch or buckle my toe on a kick, and when I was just concentrating on walking around it would hurt like hell, but when I was concentrating on playing, the pain would be suppressed. I don't know if it's a circulation thing or a nerve thing, but if you had time to process the pain, it would be painful, but if you focused on performing the muscle and ligament structures would still be fine.
That's clearly a rosy scenario, based on hope observing from the outside. But I spent years and years as the guy who limped around wincing between plays, then played just fine when the ball was back in play.
Maybe the Chiefs should consider drafting a Taysom Hill gadget-type player who can come in and run QB sneaks or option plays when needed if they are now eliminated from the playbook for Mahomes.
The Chiefs have struggled in short yardage situations this year and those type of plays have helped them. [Reply]
