- 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

Why are we making excuses here? Be honest. We all love Mahomes but he has not played well this year. He’s been a problem.
I promise it’s okay to say that
I have no problem admitting when Pat is bad but I also understand his thought process looking at these plays in real time.
Check the interior pass rush as soon as this ball is snapped. It looks like the DT is about to get a free rush from basically the moment the ball is snapped. You can tell Pat sees him, he tucks the ball and gets ready to take off, Jawaan’s uncalled hold and Kelce finally coming over helps to slow him down, Pat noticed and re-anchors, he notices Worthy just as Wanya’s man is now coming in an open lane, grips it and rips it.
You just can’t expect a QB to notice the pass rush and also see the whole field simultaneously.

I think Wanya sucks but I’ll defend him here. He wasn’t the issue. It was Jawaan’s man flashing in front of Pat at the snap that fucked this play.
If that defender had a body on him from the snap, Pat sees Worthy before he even makes his break and this play could have gone for a TD. [Reply]
Why does it have to be mutually exclusive? It wasn't just Worthy failing at footwork and field awareness, or Mahomes throwing a ball too far to the outside, or Taylor letting his man flash, or Morris getting beat too quickly. It's all of the above. [Reply]

Yep. Should've let that one fly a second or two before he threw it. Worthy was wide open as soon as he broke outside. Just a bad throw. Patrick has got to get that cleaned up before the playoffs.
That being said, Worthy definitely had a chance to get both feet down. Lack of spatial awareness. [Reply]
