He’s probably going to have to win a Super Bowl before he wins an MVP…. Pre-draft narrative, Buffalo narrative, inconsistency narrative, etc. It’s a fair amount to overcome. They’ve painted him down, and unfortunately for his MVP chances a bunch of those “journalists” clinging on to those aforementioned narratives have votes. 

It’s all because of the smoking man, he dislikes the Bills and has connections in high places…,

I was speaking specifically on RTP for Josh. He gets more than his share of those.

 

I think Josh has got a couple that even under the current rules are not flags. 

That's because he's a hell of an actor.

I call shenanigans on your incomplete stats!

 

Mahomes (beneficiary):

DPI: 3 (t-30)

Def Holding: 16 (1) (4 more than #2)

Illegal Contact: 3 (t-9)

Roughing Passer: 3 (t-10)

 

Allen (beneficiary):

DPI: 8 (t-10)

Def Holding: 5 (t-21)

Illegal Contact: 1 (t-20)

Roughing Passer: 3 (t-10)

 

KC (against):

DPI: 15 (1) (3 more than #2)

Def Holding: 4 (t-28)

Illegal Contact: 1 (t-19)

Roughing Passer: 3 (t-15)

 

BUF (against):

DPI: 8 (t-9)

Def Holding: 11 (t-2)

Illegal Contact: 1 (t-19)

Roughing Passer: 2 (t-21)

 

Totals:

Mahomes: 25

Allen: 17

KC: 23

BUF: 22

 

And honestly, calls against the defense have little to do with how much the refs are biased in favor of a particular passer. Mahomes is getting calls to keep drives alive. 25 to Josh's 17 last year.

KC constantly gets a defensive holding to their benefit to extend the drive.

 

Curiously it always seems to be on 3rd or 4th down. An unusual number of Mahomes interceptions seem to come back on a flag as well. Even if you aren’t into conspiracies, that dude has a horseshoe up his rear.

 

And of course there was the defensive holding that gave KC the Super Bowl last season. It all felt so familiar.

Mahomes had 19 dropped interceptions last year and I can think of at least 4 INTs that were reversed because of defensive holding this year alone.

 

I think he's got a whole horse up there, not just the shoe.

Folks keep rushing to judgement after each game and blowing with the wind. He's great and can do no wrong, or he is not salvageable.

 

It is a journey folks. There are a lot of things Allen does well, and defenses are trying their best to take those things away. When one team has success against Allen, the next team copies that blueprint.

 

Allen has had to reinvent himself to attack defenses in new ways and that is not always going to look pretty.

 

The good thing is the more ways Allen learns to attack defenses, the more they will have to take chances leaving guys open or in cover-0 and Allen will get better at recognizing those opportunities and making them pay for them.

 

Each game is a journey not the destination.

Mahomes won MVP last year and the Chiefs received the fewest pass interference calls in the entire league with 3 while being penalized for it the most times with 15.  

DPI + H + RTP = MVP

Yeah Josh does do that, but the only one of those I can say is from this season is the Patriots one at the start, and sure he definitely sold it. But the defender made a dumb decision hitting Josh up high like that late, that's going to bite you on the ass.

Curiously, at least last year, Mahomes rarely ever pulled a DPI it was all (a league leading amount of) holdings and illegal contacts.  Aside from 6 inch shovel passes basically being impossible to interfere with, DPI is a high profile and visible penalty that will get scrutinized (see our Giants and Bucs finishes).  Defensive holding/IC by definition happens away from the play and can be thrown as a bailout on basically any play without much scrutiny.  Weird how KC is considered to have a weak WR corps, but they just apparently keep burning defenders so bad they keep holding...

Yeah I don't get how people don't understand going for high hits late is a gamble.  These guys are getting greedy and going for the high strip, where it turns into feast or famine of pass deflection/fumble if it connects vs smart QB snapping their head back and getting a free penalty if they miss.  Josh is so good at powering out of sacks that guys are going after the ball instead, and ANY QB with 2 brain cells to rub together would embellish a little when defenders get sloppy with throwing hands up in their faces.

He doesn’t have any of those numbers so I guess that means he has a shot thanks for the heads up man 👍

I’m guessing every QB could have a 55 second reel of embellishment, at least the smart ones could lol

Getting really sick of seeing the flops. Have said it before. Allen does it a lot but it’s pretty routine around the league. Honestly believe they should start giving an embellishment penalty then players will stop with the *****.

They do it in all sports...

Soccer is the worst by a mile.

 

Hockey, some guys go down from being "hooked" even when the player barely touches them(they can get penalties for embellishing tho).

 

Basketball with players taking a charge, pretending to get hit on the way up, etc

 

Baseball might be the only one that doesn't really do it much mainly because there aren't many opportunities.

I don’t see him getting mvp with this coaching staff. I believe he’s hit his ceiling and will need new coaches to improve.  His flops are frustrating and reminds me of soccer. Refs need to start calling Josh for those, so he stops. 

If he can cut down his interceptions he'd be more in the discussion as sadly most voters aren't watching games but just focused on stats. That said if Josh continues to lead the league in completion percentage TDs and we're amongst the top4 teams in the league at the end of the season he has a good chance winning this season.

I felt like they were going out of their way to put hits on Allen well after he released the ball...often taking a few steps to get there too.

 

Nothing wrong with Allen playing one of those up to get some yards.
