Do the Chiefs need to change or update what they value when scouting wide receivers?
Is there something with guys like Watson, Pickens, Metcalf, McLaurin, and maybe Mims, Mingo, and Hyatt that other teams see that the Chiefs don't?
Do the Chiefs need to change how they coach wide receivers?
Are the teams that drafted those players just better at coaching wide receivers? Because those players have definitely played better and already made positive impacts for their teams.
If Alex Smith was still our QB, I would absolutely understand why the young wide receivers were not performing.
But, we have the best damn quarterback in the history of professional football, and the young wide receivers are garbage. I am sorry, but regardless of potential, they are performing like garbage on the field.
When the announcers talk about Mahomes bringing the receivers to Texas to workout in the off season, I hear myself asking, Did he though? Because you sure as shit can't tell. In fact, other than Kelce, obviously, it's like Mahomes met the receivers for the first time in the parking lot before the game.
Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs run a passing dominant offense. A pass is when a QB throws the ball to another eligible player, in this case a WR. It makes absolutely no sense for this team to treat one half of that equation like an afterthought.
This group of wide receivers feel like an afterthought.

This is my favorite post.
Our young receivers are performing like garbage? You then cite Mingo as one of our potential misses when he has 5 receptions on 13 targets for 45yds. Meanwhile, our garbage 2nd round pick Rice has 5 receptions on 7 targets for 49yds (and a TD!).
Very solid argument with lots of sound statistics to back it up.
Maybe stop being so emotional because we didn't pick your draft crush.
