It seems to me that his tenancy to drift farther back in the pocket than most QB's enables him to make plays that most QB's can't make and wouldn't attempt. There is a side effect in that it makes it harder for his tackles to stop a hard rusher because the further back he goes, the straighter the line that the rusher has to travel, and it's harder to stop them. Get back to me when he's sacked 5 and 6 times in a game.
Yes, his style makes it harder on the tackles. But the benefits FAR outweigh the liabilites, at least so far. He's aware of this "deficiency" and so are the tackles. This is called "finding something...ANYTHING...to criticize about Mahomes".
TL\DR - No one curr...
