Ex-NFL head coach Dick Vermeil has seen some cracks in Patrick Mahomes‘ game recently … and he’s sending the QB a message — keep that ego in check — OR ELSE!!!
“I do think quarterbacks can become too confident, I really do,” Vermeil says. “Sometimes they have to be humbled.”
Mahomes hasn’t been nearly as electric the last couple weeks as he’s been for the majority of his career … and Vermeil tells TMZ Sports he thinks the Chiefs star might be feeling himself a little too much.
“Right now he’s the No. 1 quarterback in the NFL,” Vermeil says … “My only worry about him is he gets overconfident and takes for granted some of those guys on defense.”
Vermeil says Patrick’s main problem is his O-line isn’t holding up very well … but he thinks Mahomes also might be trying to do a little too much with the football because of what he’s been able to do in the past.
Vermeil tells us he’s seen it before with supreme talents like Patrick … and says sometimes a really rough game can be the wakeup call guys need.
So far, Patrick hasn’t had THAT terrible of a game this season … but the Chiefs are certainly hoping he doesn’t learn that lesson during their big game against Denver on Thursday night!
