I just witnessed the clown show in person. It was ****ing hilarious. The Jets fans were not happy despite their win and frankly, I don't blame them. They were shite. That touch back play was the worst play I've seen in my years watching the NFL.

People, he's a young quarterback, playing behind an injury- plagued bad offensive line, without his top two receivers. That's the problem right there. Hell, Mahomes doesn't even look good when stuff like that happens to him. Don't overthink it. [Reply]

It's sorta similar to some of the things a few of us have said about Mahomes this year, though.
Nobody is expecting a guy in that situation to go 21/24 for 340 yards or anything.
But even in a day like that, when the OL is bad and you're down a weapon or two, you're going to get some shots. You're going to get a few moments where you have a chance to meaningfully impact the balance of the game.
And you need to hit those. Hit all of them and you've played damn well even if your stats are mediocre at the end of the day. Hit some and you've been fine.
For the most part, Stroud didn't hit any last night.
He played poorly. Doesn't mean he's a bad quarterback, just means he had a bad night. [Reply]
