James, MVS, and Toney simultaneously cratering to start the season shows the risk of relying on lotto tickets each season, but then again, we're 8-3, tied for the #1 seed, while Rice is emerging as a potential #1 receiver down the stretch. Hard to really say woe is me when you look at the big picture (though some still are, of course). Hit on a Juju wanting to catch passes from Patrick every other year and suddenly Patrick's putting up MVP numbers again.

Everybody with a big QB contract is, in fairly short order, going to have to take a fair number of gambles.
Philly got a SCREAMING bargain on Brown and drafted Smith before Hurts broke out. That's gonna help 'em. Cincy got Chase when Burrow got hurt. Things are going to get so much worse for LAC going forward. The Ravens hit on Flowers the way we hit on Rice but don't have much else around him. The Bills are just getting into the meat of the Allen deal and they're going to have to start rebuilding their pass-catchers around an aging Diggs (with limited draft/cap capital) just as we are around Kelce. The Cowboys got Lamb when Dak was hurt.
You can have a premier QB on a 2nd contract
or expensive weapons but it's really rare that you have both. It just is what it is.
