Hypothetical stats:

  • His current completion percentage is 67.1%. If every dropped ball had been caught, his completion percentage would be 74% which would be 4% better than any other starting QB (Brock Purdy at 70%) in the league.

  • If the Chiefs had the average amount of dropped balls (11) instead of the most (26), Mahomes completion percentage would be 71% for best in the league.

    Now do every qb in the league!

    Come on man… every team has dropped passes… trust me. As a Bears fan this is just “what happens” normally…. I think chiefs fans have had it too good for too long 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

      My first thought too. “Lets bump this guy up and compare him to this other guy, but not bump that guy up!”

    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.

    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.
