A stark reminder for those who forgot the yester years, that defense is great, but they're no replacement for a franchise Qb with weapons.

This cannot be expressed enough.

The WRs have been horrible but I don't think there's been a big shift. The difference is we're developing defensive players better than we're developing offensive players. I'll go back to it but Toney's a 1st round pick. Rice and Skyy are 2nd round picks. We have 3 guys out there at WR who are high picks in their first 3 years in the league and should be developing into contributors if not star players, and they're all just a step above gadget players at best. We'll probably end up drafting another WR high this year. They aren't out there giving Mahomes guys like Pringle and Robinson and going cheap on it. We're probably going to have 4-5 guys on the roster next year who are serious investments at the WR position.
The difference is Veach is absolutely smashing his defensive picks at LB and DB and it's turned this defense into a force because you had mid and late round picks like Chenal, Sneed, Watson, Williams out here killing it. Then his big picks like McDuffie and Cook are playing at really high levels and turning into great players. Our high round WRs haven't gotten to average yet.
