Could Tyreek Hill's departure from Kansas City actually be a good thing for quarterback Patrick Mahomes? jfmckessy evaluates comments made by one NFL offensive coach who thinks so. FrontOffice33 | ChiefsKingdom
“Defenses caught up with them a little bit … [Mahomes] was still on a throw-it-downfield mentality because he had 10 ,” the coach said. “He will complete so many balls this year because they will get his mind wired for that before the season. Moving Tyreek forced them to a mentality that they would have had to do anyway, and now it’s just easier.”
The thing is, removing Hill, his deep-threat receiver, from the equation doesn’t necessarily fix all of those issues, it just leaves Mahomes and the Chiefs with a weaker offensive core. It’s not surprising that with that kind of elite skill set, Mahomes often looked to Hill for those big plays in big moments. The receiver had already established himself as the most dangerous guy on the field, and when Kansas City needed a big play, Hill often delivered.
Yes, Patrick Mahomes has liked to throw the deep ball and hit guys like Hill downfield for big plays, but it isn’t like that’s all he did in 2021. Looking at hisover last season, particularly in the back half of the season, there’s plenty of cases in which he did take the short and intermediate passing opportunities as they came to him. The solution then wasn’t to get rid of Hill, it was to coach Mahomes to understand that the home run ball didn’t have to be everything for the offense.
