No, everyone does not expect that.
It's a team.
We expect the GM to collect talent either through the draft, trades, or free agency while maintaining cap health, we expect the coaching staff to coach 'em up and utilize them, and we expect the overall end result to be of serious contender quality.
Right now, we have a largely young and unproven WR room.
This does not mean that they are only capable of week one and two's worth of production. This is what you have to do to draft and develop talent. You have to PLAY them, and get them involved, and yes, live with the newbie mistakes.
Week two was much better than week one. I expect week three will be better than two. And so on, and so on.
I do not think this is a below average group in terms of talent level. I do believe they're learning, and we haven't seen what they will be capable of yet.
The reason I believe that is because Veach, and Reid, and Nagy, and Mahomes are all on board with this group. And Veach, Reid, and Mahomes have earned that patience. 5 straight AFCCG's, 3 SB appearances, and 2 Lombardi's tell me that these guys know what they're doing.
It was the right time to do this-to go young at WR and develop your future stars, BECAUSE Kelce's getting older. He's still Kelce, he's still going to put up a 1000. This is the time to develop the weapons around him. This argument that he shouldn't have to carry a load is horseshit. He's going to do Kelce things until he can't anymore, and only time is going to determine that.
You chicken littles (and I will point out, it's exactly the same bunch that were sobbing in the corner last year that we were in real trouble) should have learned by now that these guys know what they're doing.
This beefed up defense is looking like the real deal. If we have to lean on them a bit early until the offense gets it together, so be it-but they WILL get it together, because Andy ****ing Reid does not field crap offenses, especially not with Patrick Mahomes.
A little patience, please. A little faith. These guys have earned that.
