Patrick Mahomes and the Legend of the No-Look Pass
First, some video examples of Mahomes no-look passes:
Spoiler!
Next, some articles:
Spoiler!
A few thoughts and questions: - In the heat of the game, if performed correctly, this is almost an impossible play to defend. You essentially have to hope that the intended receiver as equally surprised as everyone else that the ball is being delivered, and hope for a drop/miss/tipped ball. - Instead of just capitalizing on this trait/skill-set when a play breaks down, how can Reid/Bienemy/Mahomes craft plays for this purpose? Is it possible that they design a package of plays with this in mind? - It seems to require a rollout, or a step up in the pocket, to get defenders to pull themselves out of position and commit to option A, when Mahomes throws back to Option B. Perhaps not, though? - Lastly, if you're up for the task, I'd love to hear (or see - ms paint?) your ideas for what the designed "No-Look" plays would look like. |

That's what makes this so powerful. The addition of Watkins opposite Hill is insane for this offense in combination with a guy who has a natural proclivity to throw downfield and an arm which can hit all points of the field (even off balance).
Alex Smith had a remarkable year with a similar offense and we've only gotten better (ex-Fulton). The expectations should be high if only because of the supporting skill players. |

You simply can't man up on this offense. It was unstoppable even with Alex. Now we add Watkins Amazing time to be a Chiefs fan.

Staring down receivers won't be a problem with Mahomes

I hadn’t heard of this as being something that QBs actually did. Are there other QBs who have done this with any regularity or success? Obviously, we’ve all heard about guys who can look off safeties until the last second, but haven’t heard of guys who never look at the intended receiver at all while throwing the ball.
