This plan largely worked last year and I give them a pass for thinking they could replicate it again, even if I did think expecting Mahomes to play at an MVP level each year was a super aggressive (and unfair) ask.

Yeah, but hope that provides some context about why I was fired up. Most of my concern was pre-draft before we got rashee. I saw this hole coming. It always felt like we had a lot of support players who need to play off a primary guy. Doesn’t have to be Justin Jefferson, just a WR you can reliably target. Hell, I even said get a WR2 for cheaper… just as long as you have someone legit. I thought skyy would be better too but I still saw him as a role guy. I’m not saying this to brag or thumb my nose. But I took a lot of heat early on so I feel I have to justify myself. I think people see (unfortunately the hard way) we do need a “primary guy” - what i called a WR1.
I was glad we drafted rashee. And from there I felt like we had the same holes and we had to just hope Reid would speed up the usual rookie timeline bc we need rashee sooner vs later. That’s why I thought we needed a bandaid.
But all in all, if we can ride through the bumps and rashee can be juju or probably better and we look like a Super Bowl team, I’m good with that for now. And I think both critics and supporters will be mostly on the same page once that happens. That’s as much as you can ask for in one offseason. I still believe we need to keep pressing for better WRs but we’ll leave that for the offseason
