They didn’t have elite game breaking receivers, but they had guys who caught the ball 99% of the time.

I'm not sure Toney had a history of drops anywhere but I agree there's not much that can be done about those sorts of clangers. I think Brady had 3 things - an elite OL, elite TE and elite slot receiver. Right now Mahomes has a very good possibly elite IOL and an elite TE. Our OTs aren't elite and aren't going to be, but if a guy steps into that WR role then I think Mahomes does the rest until Kelce falls off.
We just need ONE guy from Moore, Toney or Rice to become a good to great receiver and we're golden. This is why I'm basically drafting a WR or TE every year in the first 2 rounds. Keep going until you hit and then go again!
