Worse than that. He didn't need to take the sack.
He vacated a clean pocket. His Ts had kept the middle open for him and Humphrey had the block and the angle on his man. Mahomes, instead of taking 2 steps up and hitting Kelce over the middle, abandoned the pocket outright, blew Humphries blocking angle and got himself hit.
Then he compounded the problem with an ill-advised throw.
It was very possibly the worst single rep I have ever seen from Mahomes. There was simply no reason for it and nothing redeemable about it.
Great, great, GREAT player who was the reason we went shot for shot with Baltimore in that game. But that was a truly awful play. [Reply]

That's because he wanted to get a 1st down, not just Alex Smith it to a 4th and 4 scenario when we would punt anyway. I have seen many worst decision's by Mahomes than this one, even though they are few and far between. [Reply]

My understanding of limbs regarding the NFL, ABOVE the knee and ABOVE the elbow are the metrics for ground contact. Or perhaps more accurately, knee and above or elbow and above.
For instance, if entire forearm right up to the start of elbow hits the ground, keep running, elbow full-on with any bit above and you are down.
Kneel down in EZ on kickoff, full knee w/top of kneecap. If you graze your shin and maybe bottom of knee plate while scrambling, keep running. [Reply]

I don’t think Mahomes is ever going to be a Montana/Brady type where he just glides around in the pocket. This is who he is. He’s human, but He’s going to win a majority of his battles though. [Reply]

Because as 'holy shit' as that play was, it's probably not on the top 20 list of his best throws.
He's so absurdly good at this...
Yep, was mad at the outcome, wasn't mad at him. He's earned the eternal free pass to fuck up. [Reply]
