Couple of things:
First, mea culpa for my brain thinking one thing but not being able to present it properly - looking back it makes all the sense in the world why some of you were getting in my ass last night.
There's nothing wrong with Andy's "scheme" - he's a ****ing offensive genius, and his offensive mind is not what I was meaning to question last night.
Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out how to put it, so I'll just ask the question:
Why is it so difficult to produce as a young WR in Andy's offense and it's not for others across the league who have shown success? We've seen McVay's offense be pretty damn successful - and they are pulling guys out of the late rounds putting up more numbers in two games than Skyy Moore has in 20+. You're telling me McVay's offense is so much easier to learn that a 5th round pick can immediately come in and ball the **** out, while our 2nd round pick with more talent is getting 12 snaps a game?
It seems like pisspoor planning to rebuild the WR room while a SB window is open knowing that it typically takes years for young WR's top perform in Andy's offense.
I posted this in the spring and didn't hear much argument about it:

Right now you're looking at Toney - assuming he can stay healthy - and a WHOLE LOT of question marks.
Or, if you want to be a pessimist, you can assume Toney won't be able to stay healthy (he hasn't once in his career) and you have NOTHING but question marks.
They need some sort of a presence besides Kelce - MVS ain't it.

Sure enough, guess who's been hurt twice already?

This isn't even as much about Hopkins as it is the position in general - they need *someone* they can not only count on, but that will take some attention away from Kelce in that room - and I'm sorry - but we're going to have to be insanely lucky for it to be someone currently on the roster.

I'm glad they're addressing the position in the draft, but knowing that you're not getting much out of them for the first couple of years? We can't possibly be surprised that the offense is struggling, we're depending on MVS and Watson for ****s sake. I can't believe we didn't bother bringing in "an adult in the room" as Twisted put it to stabilize things while these guys develop. If you're not gonna do that, then play the ****ing kids and take your lumps, instead of taking your lumps with MVS and Watson and slowing the development of your youngsters.
Rice was sold to us as DeAndre Hopkins Jr. ****ing treat him like it then - dude ain't gonna get better playing 12 snaps a game behind Watson and MVS. Now isn't the time to slowroll his development.
