He has to remember that the deep ball completion is as much about the WR as the QB. The player has to be able to go get the football. You don't gotta put it right on them in stride always.
Allen actually has basically the exact same issue on deep throws. 50 yard lasers that often go past the WR. That’s a hard ball to catch. Their fans complain about this as well. I think Mahomes is a bit better though. [Reply]
Really good to see Mahomes recognizing this. And admitting it publicly. Now let’s hope he fixes it. I’m sure he can. And it really is incredible How often worthy gets wide open. Really wide open. At least several times again. And he hasn’t shown any problems with catching the ball.
If Mahomes can start connecting, we might even forget about Hill!! [Reply]
Glad to see he's recognizing this. I was wondering if he was having hesitation and second thoughts about throwing it deep. Or is it not "anticipating" it? Could be multiple things as well. Hopefully they'll figure it out one way or another.
Would also like to see him do some more quick hitting plays. [Reply]

He always does that, bashing himself in press conferences. Been the case since he was a freshman in college. He is not Aaron Rodgers, looking to blame others. He is the opposite of that. [Reply]
I’ve seen far less make it to the “traitors” thread. Gotta be a man of principle, Clay. Mahomes and Hopkins should be on your list. And don’t give me this “they don’t post in GDT” shit either. You’ve been threatening to basically merge the whole Butker thread with that one.
On a serious note,of course 15 is taking responsibility. That’s who he is. [Reply]

Less than stellar OL play has not helped Patrick on the deep ball. Hard to throw an accurate deep ball whilst seeing the field thru the ear-hole of your helmet. [Reply]
