These guys need REPS. They need to play through the uncertainty, they need to see what things are and get why they are in real time, in the games.
REPS.
You're defaulting to: things aren't what they need to be, blah, blah
and I'm saying YES, WE KNOW. And trading for Jesus Christ himself isn't going to change anything mid-season when the problem is lack of comfort with the pre and post snap reads that the receivers need to be making to get on the same page as Mahomes.
We don't have a talent problem, we have a familarity and comfort problem, and the only way to fix that is TO PLAY THROUGH IT.
The young guys' snaps all went up this second game. MVS is always going to get a lot of snaps, he has a defined role. Watson will get snaps because he knows the offense and can play any of the roles. Moore, and Rice, and even Ross had their snaps go up this game because THEY'RE LEARNING and will continue to do so.
Stop pissing yourself, it's going to be okay, and sooner than later.

****ing hell. I’m not pissing myself. I have said repeatedly I am hopeful rice or maybe ross fills that juju void. I like that option… for now… and I’m patient about waiting for it. But until that guy steps up and plays that role, it is a key role we are missing. The idea that everything will fall into place without that primary guy is disingenuous.
Many of our guys seem more defined as role players. And they will get better and better in those roles with reps, and that is a terrific complement to the primary guy who hasn’t emerged yet. It doesn’t have to be Justin Jefferson. A middling WR like juju will do. for now. It’s not some ridiculous bar and again I’m optimistic rashee can meet it. But that’s doing a tremendous disservice to the role juju played last year if we want to pretend it can just disappear. Sure you’ll have guys who step up and matchups to exploit and you can scheme guys open. But if there are a lot of situations and reps where these guys can’t get open, then there are going to be a lot of reps where none of our guys can get open. That’s why you need that safety valve.
