I've kinda dipped out of this receiver conversation as of late...but i wanted to say this though:
The complaint about the receivers....we keep trying to find reasons why we're so underwhelmed. "It's the routes! It's the youth! It's Mahomes' trust! It's Andy Reid".
It's REALLY about the lack of explosive plays and ability to do something with the ball once the catch is made.
That's what this is REALLY about. These guys aren't creating. They're running routes just fine. They're catching just fine. Young guys ARE playing.
But aside from Rice, these guys aren't creating on their own. No one is scary with the ball in their hands. Toney CAN be, but it hasn't clicked yet.
