Post Securing $210,000,000 Pay Deal, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Concedes He Turned ‘Greedy’

We all agree that the 2x Super Bowl MVP was underpaid. In a bid to set things right, a new contract was announced right after the QB turned 28. However, the Chiefs have been off to a shaky start this season, losing to the Detroit Lions 21-20 in their season opener. They did make up for it in the following match against the Jaguars. But is Mahomes’ greed the root cause of a mediocre performance so far?

The Chiefs QB has struggled with certain recurring issues. It has come to define his playing style and his connection with his team members. But will the flaw prove to be fatal?

Patrick Mahomes’ fatal flaw

Replying to a reporter’s question about snap issues, the 2x SB Champion said, “It was kind of greedy on me, trying to go verbal on some of those cadences and we had a little bit of miscommunication.” The Chiefs’ Week 1 losing match against the Lions was a heartbreaking affair for Mahomes and Chiefs fans. Dropped passes and miscommunication between the team members turned out to be the fatal flaws.

It is something the 2x SB Champion has struggled with ever since he began playing in the NFL. His greed for plays. Only Mahomes knows whether it is because he wants to take pressure off his defense, or because he wants to lead his team by example, or he wants to prove himself as the next Tom Brady. undoubtedly, in the league right now, no one has a better claim than the Kansas City Chiefs QB.

But now with his partner Travis Kelce back on the field, after he missed Week 1 due to a hyperextended knee injury, Mahomes should feel less pressurized. Mahomes may call it being greedy, but it can be looked at from another angle. Mahomes is not greedy. He is driven.

Greed for the spotlight or drive for excellence?

If you pull up his post-game interviews with the media, it is something the QB has alluded to every time he has a bad match. But, it has worked! The five years (excluding this one), that he has been in the league, he has led his team to the Super Bowls three times. And won twice! He has also been crowned MVP two times. How many players can boast a resume like Mahomes?

But Mahomes also has had excellent offensive weapons to work with such as the likes of TE Travis Kelce and WR Tyreek “The Cheetah” Hill, before he went off to the Miami Dolphins. The only argument that can be made in favor of Mahomes restraining himself on the field is to let the other players get their chances as well. But no one has complained so far, so everything seems well.

A 1-1 Chiefs is set to take on a 0-2 Chicago Bears on September 25. With key defensive players down, will the Chicago Bears be able to poke a wall and ram through their defense? Or will the Chiefs dynamic offense manage to save the day?
