Speaking about his street ball game, Sharpe remarks that it becomes difficult for Mahomes to judge his game when his first read is taken away. Evidently. he resorts to unorthodox throws. It is not because of his natural pocket presence; when it disappears, they lose games. He runs, scrambles, and plays street ball, per a voter.

In addition, Sharpe is not ready to accept that despite starting conference championship games and being in the playoffs, along with MVP awards, Mahomes is still ranked second in the Tier voting. The QB’s coach said anybody would pay to get the worst seats to watch Patrick Mahomes play.

On his show, UNDISPUTED: Skip and Shannon, the latter said, “Four conference championship games that he has started in, four pro bowls and a super bowl MVP and a regular season MVP and he’s not tier 1. I don’t know what tier 1 is then. If Patrick Mahomes isn’t a tier 1 quarterback, there aren’t any tier 1 QB. Although Aaron Rodgers has 4 MVPs, how many Super Bowls does he have?”

Mahomes is resorting to street ball per NFL analysts and voters in the NFL Quarterback tiers list. However, the QB hasn’t responded with words. He aims to build a solid offensive lineup after losing Tyreek Hill because of a trade and rookie WR Justyn Ross to injury.
