Regression to the mean. It's really that simple.
Over a large enough N, they all play roughly to the back of their baseball card.
It's why I never bought into the "Mahomes can't trust any of these guys" thing - you have to. Just keep firing. Sooner or later the worm will turn and they WILL make that big catch for you.
Mahomes pocketing either of those balls because "He doesn't trust MVS" would've been defensible to many and HUGELY damaging had he done so.
A bad NFL player is still better than anyone we've ever played ball against. These guys are incredible. Just keep slingin' and sooner or later they'll come through. The reward for NOT doing so simply doesn't justify what's possibly lost.
