OP is really reaching for those grapes

We see stuff like this then Mahomes ends up with the AFC title game or superbowl every year lol

Isn’t this what happens when you get paid $50m a year? The salary cap has to come from somewhere. At least they have a decent O-line to protect him so he can wait, scramble and throw it to Kelce.

Or maybe the drops is a reversion to the mean? His past receivers have made him look good ala Purdy /s

Did you just adjust Mahomes’ stats away from the mean?

FYI: Unless I missed something, this stat ignores drops by Purdy’s targets, if any.

Let’s not pretend that some of those INTs were simply just terrible throws

If you took all of Josh Allen’s incompletions and made them touchdowns instead, he would have 138 on the year (including the 22 passing touchdowns he already has) which would make him the clear front runner for MVP.

SMH, Patrick can’t with a Super Bowl with those cats.

hell yeah

Is Mahomes adjusting to the mean?

So I think the only way these stats would matter much at all is if you calculated drops as a percentage of attempted passes for every team in the league and then used that average instead of the raw numbers. The Chiefs pass a lot. Then you’d have to adjust everyone’s stats toward the “expected” number of drops in order to compare them much at all.

Of course, this stat is a bit too subjective to be super relevant anyway lol

What is amazing to me about Mahomes is how effortless his throws look - even his long throws. Rodgers - as a counter example - always looked to me like he was exerting in his throws. But Mahomes looks like he is handing someone a grocery bag filled with popcorn - but really it was a dart thrown 40 yards down field.

Y’all bending over backwards to gobble this dude’s dick, huh?

Adjusted by removing drops, spikes, and throwaways;

^(min: 100 att)

Progress his completion percentage to the mode.
