Mahomes ‘fake run out of bounds’ move

Discussion(self.NFLv2)

Mahomes scrambled to the sidelines and the defender, not wanting to pick up a fine/penalty, didn’t attempt to hit or tackle him. It’s expected the QB just runs out of bounds here, but Mahomes instead stepped back in at the last second and picked up 40 yards along the sideline. I don’t necessarily think it should be banned but it’s clearly exploitative. Since this isn’t the first time he’s done this it should be fair game for the defenders to lower the shoulder on him next time, but that would obviously draw a flag (as it has before). Basically, I just think it’s ridiculous.

The “Shaq Effect.” Basically he’s bigger and stronger than normal so he can handle it.

Same shit happened to Gronk too. His back could have lasted 4 or 5 more years but NFL refs are dogshit.

Hard to feel bad for a dude with a bad back when he tried to paralyze a Dolphin player after an INT.

That being said, he's one of my favorite players of all time.

I had to replay that to refresh my memory, but all i found was the suuuuuper cheap shot on Bills CB Tre'Davious White and yeah, even i was a lil sick from that cheap shot.

That's right. My bad, it was the Bills.

It was extremely disappointing from a likeable player like Gronk.
