[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 863688"] Here are a couple of things I learned. Well, not really "learned". Let's just say "observed". Mahomes is capable of throwing at least one example in a single game of each of the kinds of bad throws Rodgers was criticized over the course of this past season. Let me count some of the ways: [LIST] [*]A bad underthrow of a deep ball to Hill who was so open he could just wait for it. [*]A downfield pop up floater to Watkins who was open enough to make unharrassed leap for the ball. [*]A throw into the dirt. [*]A bad miss on a RB swing pass. [*]Passing up an open Kelse sitting down in the zone for the first down in lieu of the outside throw. [*]A bad decision and throw to Hill for a pick. [*]Not "getting the ball out quickly"; the guy was chased out of the pocker all day, extending plays. (KC needs to look at upgrading their O-Line in the draft, by the way.) [*]He threw a lot of balls without much velocity. [/LIST] I'm sure I missed some choice selections. Is this a criticism? No, it is not because unless you are stricken by highlight-itis, great QBs make a lot of poor throws, and that is a fact. Actually, except for a better foot speed, Mahomes looked strikingly similar to Rodgers on this day. On another subject, what is old becomes new again. We saw a Four Horsemen set and shift straight out of the 1920's with 2020 choreographed spin moves added for a little panache. We also saw a couple of wishbone-style run options from the 1970's, but with single-back instead of full house. Lots of gadgets and odd-ball motions in this game. [/QUOTE]
