Here’s the thing man, they’re not gonna be field those type teams every year. The league is set up for them not to. You have to put so many resources into year on year out keeping the defense rhere, you end up chasing your tail.
Last year is proving to be an outlier in terms of what happened. Pat just can’t play at that level without help at the wr spot and Kelce is just aging.

Correct.
Here are the facts:
QB's don't win as many SB's past age 31. Look at the data. It is much harder to do so. Mahomes is 28 years old right now. His prime window is now.
Tom Brady is an outlier.
Aikman won 3 SB's by age 29.
Roethlisberger won his 2 by age 26.
Brett Favre 27
Aaron Rodgers 27
Joe Montana won his last SB age 33.
Eli Manning 27 and 31.
Kurt Warner 28
Drew Brees 31
It's not impossible to win later but many of the examples such as Peyton Manning was carried by an all-time defense, John Elway wasn't carrying the Broncos when he was over 35.
Additionally, Travis Kelce is here for another year or so. We need to win now.
Chris Jones last year, maybe they get him one more year next year. Need to win now.
Sneed, Bolton, Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, McDuffie, Karlaftis, etc all cheap right now. Most of the guys will not be soon.
Need to win 2 SB's in the next 3 years because the time to win is NOW.
Now Veach might have not understood this and thought he could Green Bay Packer this for ten years but hopefully he is aware soon that having
Justin Watson as your #1 WR is unacceptable during this prime window.
Having MVS as your highest paid WR is unacceptable during this prime window.
Reid has to work with what he has but Rice needs to be pushed to perform NOW.
Toney needs to be on the field getting the ball in key passing situations NOW.
MVS needs to be off the field if he can't catch or run routes correctly. Same for Justin Watson.
We don't have much room for error because of this WR group so Reid needs to bring the hammer down now or this season will end much sooner than it should have.
