The good news is that all three should get better with a little time.

And that’s where I’m gonna push back.
We get guys open but not with the kind of consistency you need to run an efficient offense that demands long drives. Say what you want about juju but he was consistent and he was reliable. Last year we executed with remarkable efficiency.
But when we don’t execute some of the holes in the intermediate game become exposed. We go from 3 downs to get 10, to 2 downs and it’s started to feel almost insurmountable. And that’s where you see mahomes press a bit. And where teams can just throw up passes and ask the WR to go up and get it we don’t have that tool in our arsenal. How many times have we seen a throw where we wish the WR would just attack it. And I think it’s a damn shame. That’s why some of us are more urgency for a rice or a Ross to become that option sooner than later.
