The Chiefs’ offense was unsettling under Patrick Mahomes’ leadership against the Indianapolis Colts, who won by 20-17. On Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts pressured the Chiefs’ quarterback on 38% of his dropbacks. This prompted Bayless to pass judgment on Mahomes in the most recent episode of ‘Undisputed.’
Is the Undisputed Bayless being selective with Mahomes?
Skip Bayless became ‘popular’ for condemning LeBron James and Aaron Rodgers. The NFL world knows the former ‘First Take’ co-host for his incisive and outspoken remarks.
Bayless slammed Mahomes for ranking 13th in the grade among the greatest quarterbacks in the 2021 NFL season by Pro Football Focus.“Last year, Patrick Mahomes, with Tyreek, with Kelce, with all of the above, with Andy Reid … he ranked 13th in grade by Pro Football Focus because he had a miserable year by their standards“-he said on his broadcast.
Even if this statistic is correct, the sports Emmy winner for best sports personality overlooked how PFF rated Mahomes well in his first three starting seasons.
What do the statistics suggest about Patrick Mahomes?
The NFL peers widely praise the versatile throwing ability of Patrick Mahomes. However, the ‘Undisputed’ co-hosts strongly disagrees with this. As he continued, “He’s a transcendent thrower of the football? Baloney he is. He is one of the worst throwers of football I have ever witnessed. He has the worst footwork this side of Aaron Rodgers, throwing the football.” Clearly, not a Mahomes fan!
