Toney clearly wasn't ready to play. Moore, probably trying too hard, and Rice is a rookie but did some nice things in his package. I'm sure his package gets bigger each week.
And Ross caught his target and looked to have gotten open down field multiple times, so there's reason to be optimistic.
I think Pat had more time than he thought several times, and so we may see more down field stuff when he gets adjusted to the better OT play.
It'll be okay.

What's Elway's record with QBs? Not sure it means much. But the other question is what are his expectations for these guys. If he thought Toney would be an up-and-down but occasional elite receiver that was worth a 3 and late 6, I'd say that's a fair eval and a good pick up given what he's already done. If he thought Hardman or Moore were fundamental, high snap, high target receivers, maybe he got that wrong.
Rice is going to be the one that probably people base a lot of this off. If he looks like a solid player, and early signs seems promising, a lot of the criticism goes away imo.
