Yeah, before Mahomes I was a big believer in correct body mechanics and footwork dictated throwing accuracy, particularly downfield. It was one of the reasons I wasn't initially very high on Mahomes when he was drafted. The crazy footwork and off-platform throws made me cringe.
But now I've completely accepted the fact that Pat doesn't need to use proper footwork or have traditional body mechanics to make throws accurately.
Just like I don't care anymore when he throws across his body, or off his back foot, or across the field against the grain of the defense. His talent and arm strength negate all of those aphorisms.
