No, I really don't think they are.
The Chiefs have more big plays this year than a year ago at this time WITH Hill. If anything, the non-presence of Hill has encouraged teams to try to defend the Chiefs in ways that allow them to create more big plays.
Toney is a cheap, young, dynamic athlete who the team liked and who can fit in well to Reid's offense. I don't think this is an attempt to replace Hill. It's just striking for a playmaker when the opportunity presented itself.
