GameDay Discussion

Mahomes said he would take more ownership of this loss than any other game in his career. He put the Chiefs in a bad spot, he thought, and despite all the times he pulled the Chiefs out of bad spots this season during their string of one-score victories, Mahomes thought he did not play to his standards this season, especially when he struggled early in the year.
Mahomes said he would spend the offseason figuring out how to beat what defenses are doing to him.

"When defenses are going to stay back, I can't make bad plays worse," he said. "Sometimes I get to where I want to make a big play to spark us."
He added he needed to learn to throw the ball away. And until he shows he will take what a defense will give him, they will continue to play back.
"They were going to make me be a fundamental quarterback," Mahomes said. "Play from the pocket and take what they'll give me. In order to make a team blitz, you have to beat what they're showing."

Sounds like he wants to be like Tom Brady.

Say what you want about mahomes,and he did have a bad performance, but he is an extremely stand up guy and a fantastic leader.
 
So just to compare, to get their first 3 SB MVPs:

Brady won 4 SBs and had 4 game winning drives and led a go-ahead drive 6 times. Defense allowed two last minute touchdowns to take two MVPs away from him.

Mahomes, in five games, has 6 TDs and 7 INTs if you remove garbage time TDs against backups and soft zones.

Mahomes should not have 3 SB MVPs. He has basically been a scrub Super Bowl performer in four of the five games and made some timely plays down the stretch.
