Yeah, I was mostly agreeing with you. The drifting isn't necessarily a problem. But if he's going to drift he has to see the pocket in front of him better. Especially while drifting he has to see opportunities to slide into the pocket when needed.
Id also say that while it won us a super bowl and at LAC, those two games also exposed a problem. Teams with strong outside rushes will give us a problem. We saw mahomes start to do that later in the game but it was almost too little too late. Drifting may work in a lot of games but we may want to avoid vs defenses like SF and LAC.
