Since the Super Bowl the dude has not looked right. Now he is just flat playing with his head in his ass.
I think he needs to get over himself a bit. He has 2 critical INT's this season that are 100% his fault that he had 0% reason to every try and it cost us points, 1 game and maybe 2. [Reply]

Seriously. **** your memory. Go back and actually watch him. Pull up all-time greatest throws highlight videos.
Go ahead. Do it. And then you'll see that most of his best throws came from within the pocket.
Actually I went and watched all of his TD throws from last year. There were more out of the pocket TD's than "pocket" TD's. And when we are talking about his "pocket" it is not a traditional pocket, it is 10 + yds behind the LOS.
Also pay attention in the red zone alot of our TD passes were designed rollouts. [Reply]

I don't see how you can say this is wrong.
He needs to stay in the pocket because coordinators figured out not to blitz him and to rush their edges 10-12 yards upfield and contain Mahomes. He is getting better at not floating back, now he needs to go through his progressions and make them pay for playing 2 high safeties 15 -18 yards off the ball... [Reply]

Did you log them. Because as i watch this video, there's a lot from within the pocket. And yes, i don't mean the traditional pocket as Mahomes drops deep, but it's not rolling out all the time.
A lot of his early stuff was, and some of most memorable plays where, but the bulk of his work is done w/o rolling around. [Reply]
That dime to Sherman against the Chargers to start his career? Pocket.
The infamous WASP play in the SB.....pocket.
The game winner to Watkins in the AFCC? Pocket.
He's made amazing plays out of the pocket, obviously. But to say that that's WHAT he is, or that Schwartz and Fisher were these great tackles that "matched" Mahomes better or any shit like that just isn't accurate. At all. It's just your fond memories. [Reply]

I started to then got sidetracked but I can do it later on today. You can view it here if you want.
We ran lot of designed roll outs near the end zone. Yourself and IowaHawkeyeChief are right though teams are taking this away I believe.

I just did the first 4 minutes of your video. Here's what i counted:
9 -passes from inside the tackle box. 11 passes if you count the shuffle passes.
3 - passes while rolling out.
And we're just talking red zone TD's in your video. Let alone his best throws.
Mahomes is a pocket passer. Always has been.
His most memorable plays may be from rolling out, but his production has all mostly come from planting and throwing behind his OL. Your video demonstrates that. [Reply]

Yep.
Dropping back 15 yards behind the LOS isn't "in the pocket". It's more like behind the pocket.

I'm counting 10 passes from within the pocket and 15 passes from outside/behind the pocket. [Reply]

hmmm... I am through 3 minutes of the video at the end of the Pats game and I have:
Out of Pocket: 6
In Pocket: 7
Designed Roll outs\Runs: 5 [Reply]
Ok, so i finished the video. Here's what i counted:
TD passes inside the tackle box (traditional drop back pass): 23
Shuffle Passes that went for a TD: 5
TD passes while rolling out: 10
Interestingly, of those 10 roll out pass TD's, i believe all but 1 or 2 were within 15 yards of the end zone. That seemed to be more of a redzone scheme thing than Mahomes actually NEEDING to roll out.
Nearly every pass outside of the redzone came from a traditional drop back pass.
There, i did your homework for you, JakeF. It's your turn to show your work now. [Reply]
Dropping back 15 yards behind the LOS isn't "in the pocket". It's more like behind the pocket.

We're defining the pocket very differently.
As far as Mahomes is concerned, drifting back is still in the pocket. He's not rolling out. He's looking downfield, sticking inside the tackle box, not rolling out and striking downfield.
JakeF is arguing that Mahomes has to roll out. He's not rolling out in your video here. [Reply]
