Jimmy Garoppolo isn't the only QB wanting to have more freedom in the way he plays. Patrick Mahomes was shown on the sideline in a full-blown verbal war with OC Eric Bienimi over conservative play-calling. It became so heated Andy Reid had to drag them into the locker room and out of the public eye.
Conservative play calls have not been a criticism of Reid in the past but this season seems different. KC media is picking up on it and asking questions.

I know you're not saying that Jimmy and Patrick are the same. But I think it really matters you put them in context with their ability to play. Jimmy missed a lot of throws last week that Mahomes simply would have made.
Kyle's had his issues playcalling this year no doubt about it. That doesn't mean he's even close to the main reason for Jimmy's struggles.
My point was, play-callers go through downturns the same as players. It happens to the best of them. Kyle is clearly on a downturn this season. Many have speculated the loss of McDaniel is to blame, however, that does not excuse some of the truly bad calls and sequencing of plays that have plagued the offense this season. After all, Kyle was supposed to be the guru, not McDaniel.
I see your point… I don't expect Jimmy to play that poorly all season and I do think Kyle is in a play calling slump. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Kyle's play calling looks worse then it is due to our lack of execution. Even in a slump, I still have confidence that Kyle will call a better game plan then nearly any team we face. Do you really think Hackett and Eberflus out coached Kyle? Cause I really don't. Trey and Jimmy just haven't executed enough this year.
we're one dimensional and no coaching staff can play call out of that
