“He’s gonna get exposed” Skip Bayless claims Patrick Mahomes will be hampered by losing Tyreek Hill
Follow Us
Patrick Mahomes will be playing without Tyreek Hill for the first time in his career in 2022. His superstar receiver was recently involved in a blockbuster trade that saw him sent to the Miami Dolphins for 5 draft picks. Skip Bayless believes this will be a problem for Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill have had 58 games together in which they’ve connected 331 times on 502 targets for 4638 yards and 42 touchdowns. All of that has been achieved in the 5 seasons that Mahomes has been the starter.
With Hill leaving, Mahomes’ task to keep the Chiefs offense as explosive as we’ve come to know certainly gets so much harder. A lot of what made them dangerous is the fact the defenses were committing to Hill allowing other players to get open like Travis Kelce. Of course, he is still there but now he will be the focal point for opposing defenses.
With all this considered, Skip Bayless shared his thoughts on how this plays out for Patrick Mahomes and how it is ultimately detrimental.
Skip Bayless believes Patrick Mahomes is in for a rough 2022 season
In a segment of Fox Sports’ ‘Undisputed’, Skip Bayless was quoted saying “Kansas City with 3rd place odds(to win the Super Bowl) is way too high. They just took a huge hit. It’s not so much what Miami gained, it’s what Kansas City lost. You lost the most lethal receiver I’ve ever watched. He’s the one that can literally run you off the field. Kelce might be the best tight end, he might hurt me but he’s not gonna destroy me.”
Bayless further added “Patrick Mahomes is gonna get exposed. There’s gonna be a big hole in his game because he can’t go deep to Tyreek Hill. Right now, the Kansas City Chiefs are not better than the Broncos. I do think there’s an awe around Patrick Mahomes that is no longer deserved. I’m not saying Tyreek made him but his lethal presence made Mahomes as far as lethal gambling.”
The Chiefs certainly need to try and find some weapons and they have the remainder of free agency to do so. Not to mention, they now also have a plethora of draft picks which means they can either trade for an established player or go for one in the draft. Either way, this offseason it will be crucial for Patrick Mahome to get another weapon in his offense.
