After Patrick Mahomes’ Deep Ball Offense Embarrassed Andy Reid, Chiefs HC ‘Punching’ Captain QB for Defying Instructions

With the absence of Tyreek Hill and a debacle-laden season last year, Patrick Mahomes has become out of touch with his deep passing skills. Relying heavily on defense, Travis Kelce, and Rashee Rice last year, Mahomes is long overdue to upgrade his offense, and that’s what Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo are trying to help the 3x Super Bowl champion with.

It seems like Andy Reid is taking shots at Mahomes for not living up to his expectations. The Kansas City Chiefs QB appeared in a presser and talked about what he’s dealing with in the training camp. The addition of players like Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown helps, but only on one condition that Mahomes upgrades his offense and so far, training has been disappointing.

“And I think it’s just being able to, all right, we’ll just get the ball in my hand, get it to the check down or wherever that is, and then live to play another play. And I think that’s just something I’ve felt more comfortable with,” said Patrick Mahomes via Sports Radio 810 WHB

He further explained, “And then I think it’s been cool that we’ve been trying, like getting back to my old days. He’s forcing me to push the ball down the field. If I don’t, he throws little jabs at me, like you want to throw the check down here? And I’m just like, I got you, coach, we’re going to push it.”

Pro Football Focus recently did a study on 10 quarterbacks who made the most impact in the league last year. The quarterbacks were ranked based on their short-passing (minimum 200 reps) and intermediate passing (minimum 50 reps) and the results were nothing short of astonishing. In both those criteria, Patrick Mahomes doesn’t come close to being first.
