This fan has the plan to go crazy if Mahomes does it in the Super Bowl.

But this fan doesn’t see any way the behind-the-back pass could be beneficial in a game.
I love the Mahomes off script stuff, but I feel like it's hard to envision a scenario in a football game where this would actually be beneficial to the outcome of the play.

Another fan doesn’t know how it could be any better than a normal shuffle pass.
I can't think of any situation where this would be better than a normal shuffle pass. Only reason to do this is to make it look cool, and that's not how you win Super Bowls.

This fan can only imagine Mahomes doing it in case of a blowout.
If he does it for fun at the end of a blowout – sure. But I see no tactical advantage to it and if it blows up hell be excoriated as a showboat.
