  • I LIKE Sadler!
  • Mahomes should NEVER throw across his body
  • Did he just throw a pass left-handed?
  • Touch on deep throws is questionable
  • Throws lack velocity due to poor mechanics
  • Makes too manym near-pick throws
  • Retreats in pocket waaaaaay too much
  • Keeps his eyes downfield when trying to make a play
  • Fantastic job of selling read-option
  • Questionable accuracy on deep balls
  • Can be baited into picks by a defender
  • Did I say how much I like Coutee?
  • Ball placement is suspect
  • Has tough time putting the ball around the numbers
  • Can improvise when necessary
  • DIME to Davis for a TD
  • I LIKE Giles!
  • This many throws in the NFL would lead to a ton of turnovers
  • Mahomes has trouble sliding when he scrambles (doesn’t look smooth)
  • Has skill players who make a TON of plays for him

Opponent: Baylor

  • Throws into a group of defenders a bunch
  • Retreating into the pocket will be a BIG problem at the next level
  • KEKE COUTEE! Great adjustment on the TD
  • FANTASTIC TD catch (Dylan Cantrell)
  • Mahomes has some great weapons who contribute lots of chunk plays
  • Quan Shorts! TD! Wow!
  • KEKE COUTEE! (Expletive redacted) He’d be GREAT in Kansas City
  • Giles BUCKLED a defender with a move in the open field WOOOOOOOOOW
  • Weapons showed him up in this game!
  • Intentional grounding was ATROCIOUS
  • Coutee concentration on a tipped ball!
  • Threw a dime on a would-be TD to Wesley
  • Great back-shoulder throw on Cantrell TD
  • Coutee is a FREAK!
  • Wesley with TWO end zone drops?
  • Third Quarter scramble was IMPRESSIVE
  • Coutee FROZE a man with a move to earn more yards
  • Touch on fades and corners? YUCK!
