Pure skill I always used to have A-Rod as my GOAT. Just the insane accuracy. Able to make plays with his feet and buy time until something opened up.. The back shoulder throws or throwing over a receiver's ear. The intelligence. Ability to be aggressive yet conservative at the same time. To me Mahomes is 2.0 version of what A-Rod was doing.
As much as everybody hypes up the receiving core Mahomes proved last year he could still kill it while the Chiefs were facing big injuries. Tyreek was out and they were still killing shyt last year for the games he missed. He's had a weak RB core. Kelce is the only other really star weapon. Plus people ignore how bad the line is and how Mahomes has to stay on the move and buy time for his receivers. He does a lot to get his players open either with his eyes or his feet to shift defenses and buy time until the defense is out of position and something opens. What stands out the most is just the consistent accuracy. I was saying in yesterday's game thread how after watching other QBs consistently missing throws even while dinking and dunking and then watching Mahomes consistently hit tough ass throws and am genuinely surprised when he's off on a throw.
And I think the most underrated thing about Mahomes is his ability to figure out defenses and his confidence level. He never gets down and even when defenses are kicking his ass it's only a matter of time before he figures things out and starts putting numbers on the board.
