We can try to blame it on mahomes or coaching or cap. The fact is the chiefs thought this unit was good enough and they were wrong. They bet on guys who they had lots of scouting on and bet huge on guys they had seen every day in practice. They saw Toney and skyy in practice and bet on those 2 guys being our top 2 WR options. They had plenty of info to recognize their limitations. If we knew there was a hole we wouldn’t have hesitated to bring in a bandaid. This wasn’t a resources issue. This was misreading our WR room and putting bets in the wrong places.
It’s a forgivable mistake. But I wish we’d stop dancing around the obvious conclusion that veach made a rare miscalculation.

I don't think anyone is dancing around that.
I preached PATIENCE early in the year, as growing pains were to be expected.
It's week 14, and the entire unit has regressed. The time for patience has passed.
It's clear that they missed big time on Moore, and Toney is apparently a headcase.
Rice is the hit, but as a rookie, that's not been enough.
and MVS has gone from a serviceable deep threat to unplayable.
James missed most of the season and it's probably too late for him to catch up; he was almost certainly Skyy Moore insurance.
Things went bizarrely.
Drafting and developing weapons is still the right choice over paying market price, and if they had simply not been historically bad, we'd be cruising.
