Who has Mahomes propped up, beyond Albert Wilson in that one game vs. Denver, who simply far exceeded expectations? Hardman was a great deep threat as a rookie but then just plateaued. Moore would be a shitty WR no matter where he was. Toney is full of unrealized potential. Guys like Robinson/Pringle were JAGs in KC and still are after leaving KC.
We’re talking about a rookie in a Reid offense on pace for 700-800 yards. That is damn good. He’s doing better than pretty much every rookie WR under Reid not named Jackson or Maclin. I refuse to believe he’s just some avg player. Is he Chase or Jefferson? Probably not but he doesn’t need to be.
