I'd prefer he come back and they work it out where he truly does play third-fiddle to Rice and Worthy, similar to how it looked he would early in 2024, but there's no world anymore where it's beneficial to the offense for Kelce to be targeted 120+ times.

Yeah.
{sigh}....
yeah
It sucks. Age just sucks hard.
But we've gotten TOO dependent on him. And when he was truly generationally fantastic, it worked. He just isn't now. He's never going to be again.
But that's not going to stop Mahomes from trying to mind-meld with him. And/or expecting other guys on this roster to have the same connection with him.
I wonder if the "Patrick doesn't trust X" stuff comes back a little to the idea that he's literally played his entire career with a guy who's a damn savant and that's what he EXPECTS from the rest of his supporting cast.
Patrick...I'm sorry buddy, but it doesn't work like that. Everyone else is gonna run the route on the page and sometimes not even that. And you're just gonna have to deal with it.
Time to start trusting guys. Time to start letting them win with their talent, not by being psychic.
