Comparing yards year over year is a worthless. Yards mean nothing.
If people would put aside their need to justify their belief in Skyy Moore, or their need to "be right" about a player, or maybe in this case multiple players, they could admit that the wide receiver have performed very poorly so far.
I, like a lot of people on this board, have watched a lot of Chiefs football in my life, and regardless of stats, PFF, whatever, and I think this is possibly the worst performance by receivers since the magical Alex Smith season where he didn't throw a TD pass to a wide receiver all year.
And, I am sure we have had rosters that had worse receivers on paper, but I cannot remember the receivers poor performance as a group sticking out this much.
I was watching some Joe Montana highlights, and I watched Birden and Willie Davis make a bunch of great catches, and I was thinking they might be WR1 and WR2 on this team, and they from the Marty era.

What about your need to be a negative Nancy?
We're less than a quarter in to the season.
Nobody should have been of the mind that this bunch of young receivers were just going to light it up day one.
I didn't think that.
Hell, Andy's still figuring out what they each do best. I think that's one of Andy's strengths; figuring out how to utilize guys' abilities and minimize their weaknesses.
What we're looking at these first four games won't be what we're looking at in week 17, I'd just about guarantee it.
I don't think anyone would say what we've seen so far is good enough.
The difference is, some people assume that's all we're going to get.
I don't. I seriously doubt Veach and Andy took three big swings and a lottery ticket and struck out on all of them.
