You guys realize that Mahomes is nowhere near as fast and elusive as Wilson. With how fast our dline and lbs are he's not going to be running wild for one or running around juking defenders like Wilson does year after year. You guys are blinded how slow and poor fundamentals the Titans had on that Mahomes td run, look at it again how slow Mahomes is really. Just need the secondary to cover long enough when Mahomes is running for his life even tho I feel or dline will track him down quick. Eventually Mahomes will start throwing into coverage forcing things after getting constantly pressured, he seems like the type who will trust his arm way too much when the right dline goes against him and this is one he hasn't seen his whole career
This is true. He is elusive but not on the level of Wilson, Murray, Lamar, or even Cam when healthy. The fact that he juked that Titans defender and then a DB forgot how to tackle, may lead Mahomes to believe he can do this to the Niners, and be a detriment, thinking he can extend plays routinely. Ain't gonna happen. He will run to the sticks a few times and get critical first downs, but nothing like chasing Wilson or Murray down.
