From the episode

There's two things that happen one their passing production does not dip even year one So to your point, he's probably going to figure that out pretty quick Secondly, their rushing volume does dip usually for about 12 months post-surgery

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mahomes' passing remains elite despite expected early-season rushing limitations.

Deepak Chona notes that while Mahomes' rushing volume and efficiency will likely dip for about 12 months post-surgery (until December), his passing production typically does not dip in year one. Matt Kelley remains confident, noting Mahomes is durable and has played through significant injuries before; he expects him to be ready for Week 1 and views him as a strong bet for Comeback Player of the Year.
