Just for the record - Wanye gets beat in the Packers game and it's "Well Patrick took the drop 9 yards deep - Morris did his job; that sack is on Pat, not Wanye..."
When it's Taylor he's 'getting beaten like a red-headed stepchild'
Mahomes was
13 yards past the LOS (you can't really tell from that clip; you can from the overhead) and you can tell from how Taylor is setting up that he's NOT expecting Mahomes that deep. He had all the time in the world to kick out more and didn't because he figured the pocket would be further up. If you watch that clip from the snap, Taylor spends the first second or two foot-firing with perfect squared position on the DE. The guy wasn't trying to get upfield because Taylor had him dead to rights.
Then Mahomes gets too deep in his drop and just creates an easy pass rush angle that Taylor has no way to anticipate. That's when that clip picks up and Taylor looks awful. But that clip is halfway through the play and Taylor has it completely under control until Mahomes does his drift shit.
