A second look into the numbers. This one featuring revisiting the dazzling heights in average fantasy points per game that Patrick Mahomes attained in his first five years of starting, versus the sharp (really unprecedented for an elite QB in his prime) decline upon Nagy's arrival as OC.

It's not just that Nagy has to leave. May he do well on the rest of his journeys. But it is also that Andy can't just be the venerable grandpa just believing somehow that because heights WERE reached years ago, that everyone is going to self correct and go back to the levels of the 2022 season and before. They have NOT. Let alone now that Kelce's exit is imminent. Andy HAS to enforce those tough quality control processes being reinstituted.

Patrick, by EVERY means, SHOULD have continued to have almost year after year of top 100 fantasy points seasons all time. And instead they stopped abruptly. And always remember, his MOST productive year, yards-wise AND in team results, was AFTER Tyreek left. So don't give me the "he had an elite receiver and that was the only reason" gar-BAGE.

Though I did more with the numbers than what this query shows, the basis for these numbers come from this sports-reference / stathead query:
