It's not a 'fix' so much as it is just 'reps' and coaching staff figuring out what people do best and maximizing it. It's a lot of new parts, and young players who are gaining important experience.
It's logical to expect young guys to get better as they get acclimated to the offense, and learn.
It's not 'hoping' they do; it's expected they will. It's a natural progression.
the offensive line will get more in synch, as they get more reps. The WR's will get more in sync with Pat with more reps. More reps, more reps, more reps. There is no substitute for more reps.
pining for Long John Juju (get the reference? one leg? I crack me up) as the dependable veteran we can't replace is nonsense. It was never going to be immediate, although in week two, it's starting to look like it's happening. Not that I expect a 24 yard per catch average from Moore, but 70 yards and a TD is a start. And the TD was a nifty little route and grab.
It's going to be okay. Exercise a little patience. By season's end, you're going to be pleased with this WR group.
If Mahomes wants a big body WR to chuck it up to, Ross was in there. Ain't no CB3 or CB4 going to outjump him.

I’m by no means a juju Stan. But Christ you think that Mvs and skyy and their 2-3 targets per game is doing it? Because Mvs played remarkably vs cincy we assumed he’d just pick up the mantle as if just anyone can step in to that role. That’s not the case. It’s not at all insurmountable but right now it’s sure looking like the guys who can fill are raw (Ross and rice), unreliable (Toney) or serviceable (Watson).
We have options but nobody has stepped in and claimed the spot yet. And you can’t act like it hasn’t made a dent.
