I say this with they've won the last 3 of 4 SBs, and that Andy Reid is an offensive genius play caller. Mahomes did throw a bomb to Rice for a TD, and another long throw. Also that Mahomes can extend plays with his scrambling. But honestly I really don't like their "style" of play compared to other qb's. Mahomes doesn't really throw downfield. It's this quick throw and YAC. The side throw, or this delay flip to Kelce. All of it works, but it's not really passing to me. At least against Cincy it seems it's conservative scientific scheme. I was hoping with the addition of Brown and Worthy that would give them more deep speed, but I've wondered if they're on board for more short pass YAC. I thought Burrow outplayed Mahomes, but the costly fumble TD and a few other plays he left room open for KC to win. Also the big improvement of Spagnola's defense over the last year, and the addition of Pacheco who is possibly the toughest runner in the league. Like any great dynasty the qb is given a lot of pieces around him to succeed, on both sides of the ball, but really this short passing stuff with his arm I just don't really like. If you look at his stats against Cincy: 18/25, 151 yds, 2 TDs, 2 INT's. It's not very good, and Burrows stats while not extraordinary he's throwing downfield more IMO.
This one talks about Mahomes' deep throwing and how last year he was one of the worst deep throwers in the league. I think that's 20+ yds if I remember right.
