They're completely defensible and, in fact, wholly necessary given his contract.
It's no 'science experiment' - it's a reality born of the cap and the fact that some of those choices simply didn't work like they'd hoped they would. That's not making things unnecessarily difficult.
And yes, this is absolutely an ordinary rebuild. And to sit here and act like most rebuilds are as seamless as the OL rebuild in 2021 was is just the height of hubris. The overwhelming number of them have stops and starts. This one looked to be built upon a WR room that won a Super Bowl the year prior and saw a notable young talent added to it. There's nothing about what the Chiefs attempted that was inherently unfair or unreasonable of the Chiefs to ask of their generational quarterback.
Y'all just don't want to acknowledge that equally great QBs have gone through roster issues around them every bit as precarious as this one. There's nothing unprecedented about this.

The deliberate choice was to put mahomes through a billion WR rotations, even inside of the game
Sure we chose a certain path to deprioritize WRs and I disagree we had to. But that is not a good excuse for whiffing on the decisions we did make.
But that’s not even the main point I’m even trying to make. It’s too late to change any of the above. My argument is against yet again trying to mess around by trying to get guys like Toney going. At this point of the season the science experiment needs to end and we need to stop trying to make error prone players work. Just stick with the rotation that’ll make the least amount of mistakes and for now lean on your TEs and RBs more than usual
