And while practice definitely helps to refine some of that stuff, I'm sure there are players who just panic and don't show up in actual games (Moore??). And the only way to confidently break that cycle is to give the guy more reps/chances at game speed until it's really conclusive that it's not gonna work.
The struggles that the WRs and Mahomes are having are not mutually exclusive. There is no doubt it is a lot more on the WRs than it is on Mahomes though, but the onus is on both to try and figure it out.

Welp, i think i've been vocally supportive of the, "Let the young guys play all season" approach.
There's only one way to find out what you do or dont have. So, regardless of our assessments, the answer is always, "let them play and hope some guys emerge".
I don't think they'll be adding anyone before the trade deadline. Wouldn't be shocked if they did and certainly wouldnt oppose it. But i think the Chiefs will be content riding this out till the end and then adjusting from there.
