What do you add here?
we have a whole new year of data points. why aren't we using those? might there be a reason
You're right we do.
What we have is Brock having Kyle forget that you can make things easier for the QB, playing with a poor performing defense that can't hold any leads, a special teams disaster in virtually every game we have and injuries to key players virtually all year long.
And was Brock terrible? Only when compared to the high standard he set and even then he played much better than many of the QBs we've had here with Kyle when things weren't such a mess.
When you have your best down the field WR rusty and not playing like his former self then getting injured early in the year, while your reigning OPOTY RB is out, your TE having to stay in to block or banged up on his own. Young receivers not up to speed on the offense and misses critical time to build chemistry with you…it's not going to be great.
Mahomes the best QB in the game had injuries to his WRs, he had some issues on the OL. He was putting up his worst statistical season.
Should the chiefs asks for money back?
Newsflash. QBs need help regardless of how talented they are. People can point to Josh Allen playing great with his group of no name players but his OL is really good. His RBs are very good and while his receivers aren't household names they've been with him for a bit and that goes a long way.
We've seen Brock make big plays and big throws to the Chris Conleys, Ronnie Bells and the Ray Ray McClouds of the world when the pass protection is there. This year to me showed he's for real considering everything going on with the team in general.
Brock like every young QB can keep getting better. There is this weird belief that the kid is capped from developing just cuz his physical tools aren't elite. Simply playing more, learning when to check it down and play it safe are things he can still grow from.
Plenty of QBs would've completely wilted this season. Brock is made of the right stuff. We just need consistency around him and an OL that doesn't rely on the center for pass protection calls…while that center is arguably one of the worst in the league.
