Playing the rookie up to 50% wasn’t expected and is very uncharacteristic of Reid. And we made a move for a guy we cut which indicates that veach didn’t think our current unit was good enough. How can you say anyone either of those 2 scenarios were expected this early? Because they are easily the 2 biggest things holding our pass offense up to the bare minimum standard of what we think they should be capable of.

There were and still are multiple contingency plans in place.
If Ritchie is healthy, and Watson is healthy, they probably don't go get Hardman.
If Toney had full camp, we're probably 7-0. But that's all neither here nor there, what happened, happened.
They've been using Toney more as the gadget guy. I imagine that shifts back to Hardman.
And again, they're going to give high picks full rein to fail. Moore isn't looking great. If that's what you need to call a mistake, alright, that's a defensible position. Rice looks ahead of schedule. Great! That's why you throw numbers at it.
And Rice is probably getting more snaps earlier because the veteran stopgaps are on IR or were underachieving. Either way, that's why you throw numbers at it.
So trying to argue some big mistake was made is dumb. There are and always were multiple contingencies for multiple possible outcomes built in.
