- Early career production - Dynamic threat downfield & after the catch - Elite speed & start-stop ability - Fluid mover w/ good route running chops - Ball tracking is A+
Not entirely sure why the vibe isn't higher when talking about him in the WR class. pic.twitter.com/dv3JjdyZgh
I'll write something fresh about Worthy tomorrow morning now that he's a Chief to lay out how he's more than speed, but for now here's an excerpt from article linked in the below tweet... https://t.co/EcW7QtUrFFpic.twitter.com/811ahCEfMS

He has regressed, and it's over a long enough stretch where I could see this no longer being an extended slump of sorts and just his relative norm moving forward. A bit sad to think about. Perhaps he did peak early in his career? Every player's career arc is different.
Irregardless of whether the team continues to be able to win Super Bowl(s) or not.
I don't know if he peaked and has regressed fully but he's 100% regressed this season. [Reply]
Worthy and Rice will be deadly next season when the suspension runs out. I think Worthy is doing a fine job despite a few rookie mistakes. But that’s why he’s called a rookie [Reply]

Which brings me here…
If you wanna denigrate Nagy, I think it can only be for not tapping into Mahomes’ max focus every week. Which may not even be possible for a coach to do at this stage of Pat’s career. But I think focus and attention to detail by players is what causes problems in these games, and if it’s like last year, it just isn’t near the same issue in the playoffs. Not for Patrick at least.

Except he had no reason to.
Kelce is open right at the sticks. Mahomes pump fakes and you see three defenders bite on him, leaving Gray running wide open.
He didn’t even need to move in the pocket. Either fire that into Kelce’s chest for a 1st down or rip it to Gray for a quick 20 yards.
Instead he threw a pick trying to be Superman and win the game on the second play of the game. [Reply]
He really just needs to start making those plays within the offense. That’s what makes him elite - hitting those plays consistently throughout the game, season, etc. What makes him special is the Mahomes bullshit he pulls out of his ass a few times per game on top of that.
These days he’s not doing the little things enough and trying to use up his special superpower on every other play. Do the little things right first and that’ll open up opportunity for the other stuff. [Reply]
