- 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

Love that Worthy came back to the ball. I hated that MVS never did that.
Great play kid
Perine with the pickup. Mahomes finding the lane, and Worthy sitting down AND then coming back to the ball. That’s the good stuff pic.twitter.com/wtj9Hsztqu

He should be on the field on every single 3rd down.
One of those plays that we've seen several times this season in KC. It's drawn up for Juju with two vertical stems from Watson and Hopkins on third down. The play is there to be made, but Mahomes pulls it down. pic.twitter.com/FLQFaTFKt5
The only thing I can think is that with the 5 down lineman, Mahomes took a second too long to see if anyone was going to drop, and then the pass rusher on the far left (D view) was in the throwing lane to JuJu. [Reply]

I don't know. So much of it is just the ability to box the defender out. Worthy doesn't seem like that type of player. [Reply]

That's just not been something Pat has been able to do this year. Not sure what the issue is.
Do they not practice?
That's what's driving me nuts.
All this stuff about not having chemistry or timing being off or whatever.
Do they not practice these things? And frankly, what's to even practice on that play? We literally use that play with our 1st and 2nd graders. I mean there's just nothing to that.
And he just didn't run the play. The stunts that get pressure up the middle - do we not practice those? Zone drop-offs and pickups in the secondary - we working on tying our shoes on Wednesdays?
This team just isn't showing any improvement in any of these areas. Every week we say "We saw some things to work on..."
And then they just don't improve at all.
What do they do all week? I know installs take time but shit fellas, maybe go back to square 1 here if we can't get interior pressure and zone coverages figured out. If our QB won't throw a fucking out route because "He doesn't trust the play" then what are we even doing here?

It's just annoying.
Yeah....I dunno if he's just broken from all the interceptions and wild stuff last year, but it's just way off. [Reply]

Well what do you want them to say? I'm sure they are working on it very hard every practice. However, working on it during practice and having the ability to perform during the game when you are going against actual opponents are two different things.
They need to keep trying. It may or may not lead to actually results but you can't give up. We saw the team struggle with dropped balls all season last year and when the playoffs came they seemed to finally get it right especially MVS. Hopefully the Mahomes-Worthy deep ball will finally start to connect once the playoffs start (or before). [Reply]

It's just sometimes though... they have good opening drives (and assume those are pretty well scripted), they very quickly get their shit together when they absolutely need to at the end of games, and sometimes it happens for a drive in the middle of the game.
It's sometimes mind boggling how it can go from indecisive rookie QB to 3 time SB Champion Patrick Mahomes on a drive by drive basis. [Reply]

That moving pocket play might be a big help. Mahomes likes to drift out of the pocket anyway, so plan around that shit.

Well, I don't disagree but....shit fellas that's kinda life in the NFL.
Burrow gets his ass kicked in behind that line. He still plays well. Matt Stafford is flinging it everywhere behind UDFA's it seems like. [Reply]

I don't know how true that actually is though. Yes Chiefs offense has had plenty of clutch drives but they've had some where they had to punt as well. Overall obviously I think they've been better under pressure but I don't think it's as big of a gap as some on here think.
They simply aren't that good of an offense this year. they aren't bad but nothing special. i think the D has been a little more consistent. It's just good overall team - they have good balance. [Reply]
