And that just doesn’t make any sense to br complacent when you have a qb and coach who can elevate the hell out of anyone remotely talented
But there’s still a lot of offseason left. And we don’t have to panic if we don’t like our options this year.

Personally, I think it's extremely doubtful we have both Ross guys suited up for 17 games this season. And I mean combined, not each. So, then what? Skyy becomes the WR1, one of the Ross boys becomes the 2?, and then maybe Richie? Justin Watson is more of a ST guy than a WR so far, but a decent backup for MVS in terms of role. But that's about it for him. He's not going to be the go-to WR in any scenario.
Then some are saying "that's why Gray and Fortson are on the roster!" Great. Except that when JuJu faded mid-season, those two didn't do anything. They finished the season with a combined 400 yards receiving and 3 TDs. Not impressive. And not dependable.
It's one thing to go into a season with no dependable WRs in Madden. It's another to do it in reality.
And Veach ain't that dumb. He's got a plan, and it's not "let's go into 2023 with this WR room and a rookie WR and just hope a couple of them just surprise the hell out of us with a top-15 season." That shouldn't be remotely a thing if Veach is as smart as we all think he is.

It's frustrating - because I trust Veach 100%
Yet I can help but get some serious Michael Cherrito vibes from
Heat
To Veach, the action IS the juice.
Judging seasons like Olympic sports. It's all about the difficulty level.
Hey Patrick - Win a SB with Kelce, Hill and a questionable defense.
Check.
Hey Patrick - Now win a SB with Kelce and Juju and a REALLY young defense.
Check.
Now? Hey Patrick, win a SB with Kelce and...
I'm going to be furious if we miss out on another SB because we're asking Mahomes to be even more of a miracle worker than he's already shown to be.
