Sure, there are times if guys aren't open don't force it, I'm not saying that. But I'm guessing he's always going to opt towards the aggressive shots. That's great, I'll take the negatives with it. |

Lots of really good corners time similarly and our top notch safeties should help elevate the deep speed need. Ball skills are a premium in today’s NFL and Herb Miller gets his hands on a lot of passes. |

I don't want him to be less aggressive all the time. He is who he is and that's why we all love him. But situational football is also important and sometimes, checking the ball down or throwing the ball away are some things you have to do. |

There are definitely situational times where you've gotta just admit defeat so to speak. You aren't gonna win every play, live to fight another day.
In the first half of the Pats afcc game he took a bad sack taking them out of FG range. Can't do that. But what i'm saying is, that sometimes the good is so good you have to take the bad with it and just hope to minimize it enough without taking anything away from the good. |

I've heard those arguments (slow the game down, don't score too quickly, rest your defense) all off-season. Although I understand the basic idea, the legitimacy of the logic escapes me. Touchdowns in the NFL are super-duper-important and you don't prioritize six minutes over six points. If you have a shot, you take it. Then, if you have another shot, you take that one too. Then you keep taking shots until you convince the opponent that they should have never suited up for the game ... or the 3rd quarter ... whichever comes first. FAX |

At Florida Atlantic - so he wasn't exactly facing premier WRs or QBs to boot. No, I'm pretty sure high-end ball skills aren't on his list of attributes. Given a large enough sample size, I feel like the guy will look awfully bad. While there may be a fair number of 4.6 CBs who were historically successful, there aren't many today. These high flying offenses and brilliant OCs are gonna pick that guy apart and/or we'll have to shift coverages to help him out. |

No shit he made some mistakes, he will make mistakes this year too, just like every other QB who has ever played the game. His aggressiveness is what makes him great though. I don't want that ****ed with. |

Didn't mean it that way. He definitely could work on some things (staying in the pocket etc) but I just hate the narrative of "control the clock and keep the d fresh or take what the defense gives you". That's for an Alex Smith offense. To use them again, the Warriors don't take what the defense gives them. They make it so hard for the defense to cover what they want to do they get what they want. That's Mahomes. |

Like Chad Pennington couldn't throw it faster than 30 mph. But he had great accuracy and anticipation which allowed him to function. Those guys that were really slow for a corner had great anticipation and ball skills. Herb Miller likely doesn't. |

Sorry but here again we have a perfect spot for the Steph Curry analogy. 3 point shots are low percentage shots for most people. They aren't for him. Those throws are low percentage for most people. They aren't for Mahomes and this offense. Re adjust your thinking with this offense. |

Mahomes actually missed on quite a few deep throws he should have had, not saying he shouldn't take them but they weren't automatic.
