Some chatter today about Mahomes drifting too far from the pocket
Thoughts?

Mahomes has been doing this since forever. Manning mentioned it in his first DETAILS segment back in 2018, IIRC. Maybe at the beginning of 2019. Whatever. And Pat has said that he needs to work on it as well. So it's not new.

There's some truth to it. Not sure why but he's not really sliding up in the pocket. Maybe he just doesn't trust his interior OL.

He seemed to be feeling/seeing phantom pressure, especially in the first half. There had to be at least three plays where he broke out of the pocket when there was no reason to (from a pressure standpoint, anyway).

I remember that time last year he tried to stay in the pocket and got his already hurt ankle stepped on.

I think it really comes down to the fact that it's just very early in the season still, and even Pat isn't quite in mid-season form. He knows it, and he'll square that shit up over the next week or so. |

He does need to work on that. I'm sure he will and Reid is going over this, and other ways he can improve.
Not a big deal at all Mahomes should always try to improve no matter how good he is. |

Might have something to do with he is somewhere around 5th in the league with the least amount of time to throw the ball so far in the NFL. I saw the tweet earlier but cant find it now.

He's made some crazy plays doing that kind of stuff though, which is why it's a hard habit to break. He's got a few habits that would be a problem for other QBs but he's so talented it just doesn't matter.
When he gets into his 30s and he's not as mobile he's probably going to have to clean some of that stuff up, but that's something to worry about in 8 or 9 years. He's a smart guy. |
