If Skyy gets 3 yards of separation by jitterbugging at the line for the first two strides of PM's drop-back, it means precisely dick because by the time Pat looks that way, Moore is 2-3 yards away from where he's supposed to be and he's gotta look to the next guy.
Patrick Mahomes will throw the ball to Justin !@#$ing Watson, FFS. If you're where you're supposed to be, when you're supposed to be there, he WILL deliver you the ball.
So do I trust some odd stat with no methodology and a pretty clear flaw? Or do I trust the baddest mother****er in football?
If Patrick Mahomes doesn't think you need the ball, I agree with him. It's like the old "Son, if Mr. Williams doesn't think it's a strike, it's not a strike" line. When Ted Williams doesn't swing - it was a ball.
If Patrick Mahomes isn't throwing you the football over 20+ games of an NFL career, that means you're not getting open. Not in the flow of the offense anyway. Nebulous and ill-defined stat be damned.
