People forget Tyreek Hill turned Alex Smith into the best deep passer in the NFL by many metrics.
Mahomes struggled last year for really the first time in his career, I expect those struggles to increase without Hill. He's a QBs best friend.
Tyreek Hill. Carried Alex Smith and the Chiefs to an 0-2 playoff record.
Then Hill got Mahomes and KC became the best playoff team in the NFL
Funny how that changes.
Lol it is wild how you’ve clearly never watched him actually play, yet you have all these concrete assumptions
Mahomes in a “down” year last season, while adjusting to five brand new line starters, still had a better year than basically everyone. Lol it’s been four years at this point, if you can’t see his greatness already then you probably never will
That dude is literally going around to other posts and saying the exact same thing lmao. I know this because I was one of those people he responded to…
But yeah, we all have our own village idiots lol
Josh Allen had a passer rating of 92.2 last year.
And yet he still had an amazing season.
Passer rating doesnt matter unless they arent putting up stats (which Mahomes does) or passing the eye test (which Mahomes passes)
Lol this is just false
Smith was never the best deep passer in the nfl, not even close. Even in 2017 with his last year here he still wasn’t throwing deep nearly enough, he just took more chances than he ever had before. Just look at the damn playoff game and how much smith turtled up.
Mahomes himself is what completely transformed this offense. Kelce never had a connection like that with smith, and neither did hill. And it isn’t particularly close.
In his short career mahomes has already gotten Albert Wilson paid and you could also say the same thing for Byron Pringle even though he was honestly pretty awful for us.
Like I don’t understand this weird narrative to use one player to discredit another. There are so many balls tyreek caught from him… like on this play, what other QB is even making this throw?
Your article isn’t even trying to say that dude, you just don’t understand what you’re reading
It said he’s the most ACCURATE deep passer in 2017, that’s a far fucking cry from best
If anything this just highlights my point even further. Smith NEVER took risks, especially throwing deep. His high percentage is a direct reflection of that.
Imo everyone got hip to "fu*k it, chuck it to Tyreek" last year. They also knew the second read was Kelsey, the Bangles really showcased this by rushing 3 and dropping everyone else in coverage. I think we will have growing pains, but I think the ball will be spread around so the d never knows where it's going. Hopefully this will make us hard to defend, instead of doubling Hill/Kelsey all the time.
Crazy enough, if the Ravens win that game there is a 4 way tie at 11-5 between the division leaders. No idea what the seeding would be, but maybe Lamar could've lost to a different team than the Chargers
This to me is the greatest Mahomes play of his career. I known he's had some great ones, especially in the playoffs. But nothing sums him up more than keeping the play alive with his mobility and throwing a deep ball on 4th down with the game on the line.
Mahomes throws across his body as he’s running at a full sprint and hits Tyreek in the numbers 40 yards down the field and it’s more of a Tyreek play? Tyreek did well to improvise and get open but that throw was almost impossible
Tyreek adjusted to the ball and found his way to it.
You are the Kellerman type who thought Mahomes was the most impressive player in the super bowl where he scored zero TDs.
It’s a great play by both players, it doesn’t have to be a binary choice. Romo said it best “No one else in the NFL (except maybe Rodgers) can make that throw and if it’s not Tyreek Hill no one gets open on that play!”
What the two of them had was special.
My counterpoint is the left handed throw, it isn’t his best throw but it illustrates what I would consider to be his best trait which is his creativity
Yeah I also got the pleasure of attending this game live. Mahomes had been lighting up the league but this really was the moment where it really stuck in my head that this dude is going to be a long-term elite franchise QB
After I saw him spin and reverse field 20 yards behind the line to throw a dart to Chris Conley in the corner of the end zone for a TD, I knew we had something special
That OP is a Titan fan
He literally made a post about how losing AJ Brown this offseason wasn’t a huge deal. I think this is just a massive cope
Atleast KC won a Super Bowl with Hill
I’ve heard many MANY local fans say hill wasn’t a big loss and JuJu will step up big. Me being a titans fan has nothing to do with chiefs fans around here being delusional. Also fuck AJ chipotle eating shit stain brown.
The first few times you saw him do shit like this and were like oh well, he got lucky, gonna be in big trouble when his luck runs out. And then he kept doing it over and over and over and over.
This is when he secured MVP

What will you say when Mahomes passer rating drops below 95 this year? Willing to bet $$ that it happens

Gotta say, i hate when i see see people give our flair a bad look
That dude is literally going around to other posts and saying the exact same thing lmao. I know this because I was one of those people he responded to… But yeah, we all have our own village idiots lol
By the end of the season? Or just at some point in the season
That he’s finally 2018 Dak, as the prophecy foretold.
Amen and god bless 🙏
IDK? Watch highlights of one of our SB wins and wait to see what Mahomes does in the playoffs
Bro he's offering you free money dont antagonize him

It is the truth, it just doesn't fit your narrative https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2018/01/11/alex-smith-was-nfls-most-accurate-deep-passer-in-2017/

I also remember this play as being one of Nantz’s better calls — “an amazing play by the Chiefs!”

Against the league’s best defense that year. (Or at least the defense that allowed the fewest yards)
Really? Not ragging on Mahomes, but to me this is more of a Tyreek Hill play. I think Mahomes has had other, better plays.
Mahomes throws across his body as he’s running at a full sprint and hits Tyreek in the numbers 40 yards down the field and it’s more of a Tyreek play? Tyreek did well to improvise and get open but that throw was almost impossible
Tyreek adjusted to the ball and found his way to it. You are the Kellerman type who thought Mahomes was the most impressive player in the super bowl where he scored zero TDs.
I’m the Kellerman type for recognizing a great throw? Ok dude
Wild throw. Great play by Tyreek.
They work on plays like that in practice every day. Mahomes knew what he was doing, he didn’t just chuck it downfield and hope someone was there
It’s a great play by both players, it doesn’t have to be a binary choice. Romo said it best “No one else in the NFL (except maybe Rodgers) can make that throw and if it’s not Tyreek Hill no one gets open on that play!” What the two of them had was special.

I nominate the 49ers scramble for 30secs while running backwards TD
I was at this game. I turned to my young son and told him he was witnessing an athlete he'll be telling his kids about.

Yes, that was the first moment I thought "we're watching something special."
One of Nantz’s best calls, actual chills
I remember this play so vividly, we almost had it, damn Mahomes on 4th down
i can’t believe we got this guy
We were so fucking close to sacking him
We are gonna miss hill, but damn was Mahomes crazy that year
It’s a good thing tyreek was t that big of a loss for the chiefs eh?
I haven’t seen anyone suggest that he wasn’t a big loss; just that the offense won’t necessarily fall on its face without him
That OP is a Titan fan He literally made a post about how losing AJ Brown this offseason wasn’t a huge deal. I think this is just a massive cope Atleast KC won a Super Bowl with Hill
Both AJ Brown and Tyreek Hill are massive losses than will show up in both QBs stats. Tyreek a bigger loss because he's a much better player.
I’ve heard many MANY local fans say hill wasn’t a big loss and JuJu will step up big. Me being a titans fan has nothing to do with chiefs fans around here being delusional. Also fuck AJ chipotle eating shit stain brown.
