Here's my biggest worry - by FAR. This passing game is hugely dependent on timing. And Toney does some weird shit in his routes. He cuts off the wrong leg. He throws in a dead leg or some weird hesi step to get DBs off balance. He does one extra juke than seems necessary.
I don't know how a QB can possibly throw to a spot with him because there's seemingly no consistency to when or how he throws those moves in there.
I can't figure out how him and Mahomes can get their timing synched up. So I think for pretty much this entire season, he'll need to be a guy who's schemed into space as a 3rd read when a play breaks down, someone who has designed quick hitters and someone who acts as a decoy.
I just don't think there's a chance we get him dialed into the timing of this offense on the fly. He's just so different in how he moves out there.

Toney made a comment (complaint?) about how the Giants wanted every route ran like an exact science, that there was no freedom in his route running.
Gotta wonder how that may have kept him in the doghouse, and whether Reid will allow him to be creative in his route running, so long as he gets to where he's supposed to be on time.
