Seth Kysor is thinking along the same lines in his column this am
———————————————————
We're normalizing Patrick Mahomes. We really shouldn't
On an off day, Mahomes still showed that he's unlike anything we've ever seen in the NFL. And we can't forget what we're watching in real time.
So yes, we could talk about a number of frustrating things (defensive execution, coaching errors, some really poor decisions from Mahomes) that led to the Chiefs’ win over the Broncos being MUCH closer than it should have been. But that would be breaking the (totally self-imposed) rules. So we’ll talk about some of that stuff later in the week, and we’ll dissect some bad decision-making by the Chiefs’ quarterback at that point.
But first, we need to talk about Mahomes. I mean REALLY talk about him. Because somewhere along the way, stuff like this got normalized.
Possible paywall for the rest
