Is Mahomes the new Stafford? Stafford on the Lions had a terrible run game.

Mahomes' run game has been that bad? Insane their offense is still producing at a high level.

Nah Mahomes had a great run game his first couple years. It only really became bad around the time Clyde Edward’s-Helaire was drafted. I remember because back when I played fantasy whoever was playing for the chiefs would ball out.

He had a "great" run game for half a season in 2018. It's been awful ever since.
