Yes, except for JuJu, and THAT is a big deal b/c JuJu was our leading WR, a chain mover and a guy Mahomes trusted. So, he is a BIG part missing from the same WR group. That's why I was advocating for a vet WR who could immediately do the same things as JuJu. In the absense of that, we asked our role playing WR's to step up and do more. Not only have they not done so, they have regressed. So, we are where we are now. IMO had we had that reliable vet WR from day 1, things are much better. |
Yeah, and this is what I was always getting at. You want to tell me you always were very concerned we didn’t re-sign JuJu because he was so crucial to the process? Fine. If you provide receipts that you felt in advance he was so crucial to the offense that it was irresponsible of Veach to go into the season without someone like him, then I pat you on and the back and say you were right. And Veach was wrong.
But you figured Moore would make strides, Rice would fill some role, and James would be a reliable target. It hasn’t worked - we can all agree - but is it so hard to believe that Veach felt this might work? The season following Mahomes winning a SB and being MVP with these WRs?
