I generally like where we're heading with our wr room. But it is raw and uncertain as hell. And we don't have to throw these guys to the wolves to learn about and deveiop them. you seem convinced that a WR1 even if we got him for free is some kind of Boogeyman. As if we're not gonna find snaps for skyy or rashee. As if our offense approach completely regresses back to the one bad half of football we played against Cincy with Tyreek. And you seem to "oh well" if it doesn't work out. Because reid and mahomes can make it work. While theres some truth to it it shouldn't be our crutch. I don't get the "let mahomes make lemonade" stuff. One day we'll have talent in our WR room again (maybe we already have it on our roster) and my guess is people will not want to return back to the days where we thought efficiency was our ceiling.

I'm just describing what is happening, and why. It's happening. This is the plan, and Veach and Reid have been saying so all along. You and others here have been telling me I'm nuts, and it couldn't possibly be so, but here we are.
Hopkins is not coming. They're not paying market value for any proven number one type receiver. They're growing their own. They told us they were, and you can choose not to believe it, even now, if you want but it's happening.
