Yeah and anyways the temperatures are colder in the second half of the season so it would only be normal that a QB's stats would be slightly lower.

His comments would have made more sense if he was talking about Brees or Goff. Those guys slowed down in the second half of the season.

That's what I think too.

I expect him to throw 35 TDs next season with defensive improvements. That's still going to likely be best in the league or close to it. It just won't be 50.

The year prior to Daboll was the REALLY laughable one. Old man Bill Muir. The dude who nodded off in the middle of a preseason game

I think he could still pull 40+ easy if the defense can get the opposition off the field quickly, and on a regular basis.

Granted, it's not the important thing, but I DO like having a QB that makes the rest of the league look like schlubs. :-)
[Reply]

That's the thing. With even a respectable D we don't need to score 21 pts in the 4th quarter of games. Instead we're running the clock to protect the lead...
[Reply]

They still threw for over 3000 yards. :-)

:-)

This does not make much sense. So the Defense will be getting off the field more and giving the Offense more chances to score- yet Mahomes is going to suddenly be mediocre?

We won't be running the 90's Chiefs offense.

Mahomes will be the first 50 /50 QB in the NFL.

I am calling it now.

I could see Mahomes' TD production drop to 48 or 49.
[Reply]

So we are going to get these big leads- but it won't be Mahomes throwing the football. :-)

Plus you are assuming the Defense will be improved- something we have been waiting on for a decade now.

You might want to look at our schedule next year- we won't be just blowing the doors off those teams and then coasting every second half.
[Reply]

Mahomes should see more field time with a good defense. I don’t see him holding back even with 14 pt leads in the 4th.
[Reply]

Mahomes is not wired that way- he sees an open guy, he is throwing it.

Hopefully losing so many games with Huge leads has cured Andy of his second-half turtle routine, where he gets a lead and then milk the clock. This the NFL, you can't let up on teams.
[Reply]

Yes he is, and thank God for it. There's no such thing as too many TD's.
[Reply]

I was agreeing that Mahomes will Not turn into a milk the clock, check down artist like Alex was- despite Andy getting scared every time he has the lead.

Mahomes is always looking downfield.
[Reply]

Reid could direct him to go easy but if he sees his shot, he's taking it.
[Reply]

Mahomes takes over threads like he takes over games.
