-Second Juju really succeeded when he, against the odds, maxed out his opportunities. He did this playing second fiddle to Antonio Brown largely out of the slot. Brown left, then Juju not only regressed to the mean when it came to opportunities he also was not nearly as effective playing the X against the best corners. I was more excited about Juju before Tyreek left.
-Third I feel like he's just an extra guy in our offense. We have better route runners, faster guys, bigger guys, guys that catch better. Maybe he can be a Sammy Watkins but I just don't see Juju being that #1 WR for any team ever.
I could be very very wrong but not hearing anything out of camp so far kind of just confirmed my bias. But then again maybe he's a gamer and he'll show up in games. Maybe Mahomes' arm will make him come alive. We'll see.

Er you forgot that part where he played a year with back up qb's in 2019 and then a year with a totally washed up big Ben in 2021 plus he got injured aswell. In 2020 he got 831 yards and 9 Td's playing with Ben who had just come back from his elbow injury so imo when he had competent qb play he balled out even with AB gone.
