- 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 struggled yesterday. A lot.
I think the ankle (and protection issues) really affected him yesterday. Not sure I remember so many bad throws in a single game from Mahomes. [Reply]
I don’t get all the hate, the kid is young and he’s learning.
You all know he’s going to end up catching a huge 70 yard bomb in the playoffs during a crucial situation, and you’re all going to be slobbering on his nuts when such an event occurs. That’s what happens on this team, because we’re the Chiefs. Then the next week, it’ll be some other heavily criticized player making the game winning play, and we’ll all celebrate in sheer joy. Because… Chiefs.
You’d think most of you would have figured this out by now. �� [Reply]
2018 Mahomes hits this with ease. He’s playing conservative.
Worthy was wide open and he air mailed it. Could Worrhy have move more to his right to the middle? Yeah. But he was still open and Mahomes plain missed the open shot.
For the “hospital ball” crowd, that DB was breaking upfield. Not toward Worthy. pic.twitter.com/kGKEkoKLKE

When you have a bum ankle, you are hesitant to plant hard on it. When you throw off a flat platform without planing the left ankle (for righties), the ball tends to said. Most of his off throws yesterday did just that [Reply]
Whatever. Flame me. It is what it is. And he's been regressing on a yearly basis.
Tired of ignoring the elephant in the room. He needs to be better. Period. Stop blaming protections and WR's and coverages. He fucking sucks this year. [Reply]

Odd thread to put this in but fair enough. [Reply]

I will lay the blame at Mahomes’ feet there. He’s just gotta grip and rip that one. Worthy is wide open by NFL redzone standards there.
You what that clip feels like?
It's feels like current version Aaron Rodgers. Like Mahomes was expecting some route adjustment from the receiver so he through it to the open spot on the field, expecting some zin psychic magic adjustment from Worthy. And because Worthy didn't adjust his route to match Mahomes' use of "the Force" ala Kelce, it's a fucking incompletion.
Quit trying to out think every goddamn thing and put the ball on the receiver.
Why do people say, "Old Mahomes woulda hit that".
You know why? Because Old Mahomes wouldn't try to zin energy every goddamn route and instead just put the ball on the freakin' receiver. [Reply]
Sucks is a little far I would say Tox, he’s still playing top 10 QB level.
But compared to 2018-2022…. Yeah, it’s annoying.
He’s basically playing Alex Smith ball. Overprotective of the football even though most his turnovers this year I think are because defenses are able to trigger downhill so easily without fear of the explosive play.
Of course he could just do what he did in the playoffs and more or less flip a switch. I’d much prefer see it sooner however.
