These are not JAGS. These guys have nightly emissions DREAMING of one day becoming a JAG. These guys collectively forgot how to play football at even a high school level. They're terrible. They're not even CFL level.
Last year, we won a SB with a one legged Juju and this group, and had the #1 offense in just about any meaningful category, including 'explosive plays'. THAT was a bunch of JAGS.
That entire group (minus Long Juju Silver) regressed to a state of completely unplayable, clueless, three stooges level ineptitude.
Patience, I counseled. The whole group couldn't possibly regress like this. They'll snap out of it.
Apparently not.
Yeah, we need to clean house and get some actual professional receivers. We don't have to **** our cap to do it, and we don't have to trade multiple picks, and we don't have to go batshit crazy.
As it turns out, a Thielen type probably would have saved this season. (And I was an advocate of signing him or someone like him this past offseason.)
Rice is a bright spot in this shit sandwich. You need a speedy deep threat who can actually catch the ball, and you need a steady pro who knows where to be and when and then to actually catch the ball. Fill those two roles, and we're back in business.

We had one that was a professional. He ran the routes correctly, caught the ball, and lined up correctly. Mahomes knew what he was going to do and our GM let him walk with no replacement.
And then even at the trade deadline when it was clear there were zero NFL WR's on the field that Mahomes could trust Veach and Reid said, we good.
No need to bring in a JAG WR that can do basic NFL things. We need to develop a draft pick we took last year who had shown nothing and had no +NFL traits.
