But now I've completely accepted the fact that Pat doesn't need to use proper footwork or have traditional body mechanics to make throws accurately.
Just like I don't care anymore when he throws across his body, or off his back foot, or across the field against the grain of the defense. His talent and arm strength negate all of those aphorisms.

He has very natural accuracy. Pure talent. Only people that watch him up close on a weekly basis would realize it. The stuff in the 2017 Draft was a bunch of BS. But from the KC perspective, the BS media narratives allowed the Chiefs to get him for a serious discount at #10 compared to #1.
