- 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
Oh my God. Every angle just makes this worse. He had a whole entire 3rd of the field to work with. Why lead him out or anywhere close to being out? [Reply]

Let’s disregard what the throw woulda, coulda, shoulda been. In a vacuum, should an NFL Wide Receiver be expected to catch the deep ball thrown to Worthy yesterday? If the answer is yes, which it is, then it’s on Worthy. It’s that simple.
Not throwing a simple pass that would led to an easy TD is on Mahomes.
Not doing a simple toe drag at the proper time to make what should have been a routine catch is on Worthy. It is so weird how he dragged his foot before he caught the ball. [Reply]
Idk. That is a tough throw. There’s a ton of pressure bearing down on him, he’s backpedaling to avoid it, no pocket formed whatsoever to step into.. [Reply]

This has nothing to do with supporting a narrative. Both could have been better- worthy could have made the play- I’m not denying that. That doesn’t change the fact that Patrick Mahomes is held to a higher standard. He’s by far the highest paid player on the team and is generally regarded as the best QB in football. There was no reason that throw was that close to the sideline. It was a bad throw and Mahomes admitted it after the game. [Reply]

:-) No shit. Wanya Morris, once a fucking gain, gets beaten so badly and so quickly that Mahomes has to yeet it down field in the general direction of Worthy without proper mechanics. [Reply]
