And that is this...
Patrick Mahomes has no room for error with these WR's
These WR's have to be schemed open because they cannot win by themselves
And that is coming from virtually everyone.
So if Pat is off and has a poor game, or even a whatever game, we're gonna lose. Unless the defense is 2000 Ravensesque that day. And they aren't.
The thing is, Juju, while not great, was good enough so that the rest of the WR's did not have to play as big of a role as they do now.
The drop off to Rice is massive because Rice doesn't know the whole offense, and is a rookie. So everyone else's flaws have become more magnified.
This isn't a SB team. We don't have the weapons to compete with the best teams right now come playoff time. Maybe Rice steps up more next year but with a true #1 this team is likely undefeated this year because the three games we lost were due to all the drops. Last night, Pat had an off game and doesn't have someone who is going to be the play maker when he's off and the defense isn't playing their best.
It's that simple. We need at real #1, or a high level #2 and Trav isn't getting younger.
So if we don't get a true #1 in FA next year then either Rice has to take the next step or we'll continue to have this issue.
