Lots of folks in the know saying similar things about Kelce. Must be nothing though because CP says so. Look, what the guy is doing is expected given how his life has dramatically changed! McShay and others are right to point it out though because until he officially retires he’s got an obligation to his team. Let’s see if all the chatter motivates him.
Oh, and Mahomes is a class act and of course covers for his buddy. He’d never throw him under the bus. [Reply]
Nothing wrong with saying he has gained a few pounds. You can look at pictures of him from even a year ago to now and see the weight gain in his face and the waistline. It's not uncommon for people to gain weight with age and being in a relationship. [Reply]
Only watched the A-22 from the ATL game, but it sure looks like Travis was being used as a decoy a lot. He runs an intermediate route, and someone else runs something right underneath him and as soon as they turn back towards Mahomes, the ball goes there. And at least to me it doesn't look like Pat even sneaks a peek at Travis in several of them.
Also saw Travis get open at least 5-6 times but Pat doesn't throw at him. Tbf, on some of those the protection broke down early, and Pat threw the outlet. But there were also several where it sure looked like Pat could've put the ball on Travis, but he just threw the checkdown instead. Like his clock was sped up. For that matter, there was plenty of semi-whiffed blocks Sunday. Obviously, that kind of thing will get cleaned up as the season progresses, but imo that probably sped Mahomes up some in this one.

It's been said by some smart people, Patrick Mahomes is not playing very well at all. He's rushing things when he shouldn't and not waiting for anything to develop. He's been completely average so far this year and hasn't looked great outside of a couple of drives.
I'm not concerned, but Patrick is holding the offense back right now. [Reply]

Next man up.
Correct and that’s probably why they drafted Wylie. They have addressed the possibility of losing Kelce. My question was more in response to the comment that Veach has not addressed the replacement of Kelce. [Reply]

Pat hasn’t looked like God mode , no. But it’s not all on Pat either. OL hasn’t been perfect, some receivers aren’t doing their jobs correctly, etc. In words, it’s Week 4. Concerns begin around Week 8-9 if they’re still playing like this. [Reply]
