The verdict on the Kansas City Chiefs drafting Patrick Mahomes
Opponent: West Virginia
- Ball sailed the result of not stepping into a throw
- Threw a horrible pass that almost got picked
- Athleticism gets him out of trouble half of the time
- FANTASTIC downfield throw despite pressure
- Touch on certain kinds of throws just isn’t there
- Sells the read-option REALLY well
- His offensive line STINKS!
- Makes A LOT of plays for leaky pass pro
- GREAT arm (TD on 3rd & 29)!
- Ball zips when his mechanics are good
- Throws outside the numbers take a while to get there
- Struggles to throw the fade route
- Quick screens are usually thrown high
- Makes some WTF throws sometimes when pressured
- Throws well on the run
- Almost got receiver decapitated on a crosser
- Trying to create a play out of nothing often gets him sacked
- Love all that I’m seeing in receiver Keke Coutee!
Opponent: Arizona State
- Mahomes’ offense bears a resemblance to Reid’s west coast system
- Doesn’t always know when to pitch the ball in read-option situations
- I like Derrick Willies!
- Has trouble resetting his feet when sliding in the pocket
- Has trouble sensing pressure coming from his back side
- Bad mechanics caused two picks
