The real deal here is Mahomes had better protection from his OTs. It wasn't the weapons. Hill was the only truly explosive weapon we had. We got exceptional play from Travis and really good play from our RBs in the receiving game throughout the years, whether it was McKinnon or Williams or whoever.
Rice and Worthy are the best 1-2 punch at WR that Mahomes has ever had. Adding a slot that's better than Hardman gives him, far and away, the best set of weapons he's ever had.
I think you guys are way overthinking the need for weaponry. Drink some antifreeze, go **** a hooker and get aids, and calm the **** down.

Your point is well taken, especially saying Rice and Worthy are the best tandem he's had given a good slot weapon comes with the deal.
The counterpoint I would give is that Hill and Kelce were SO good and SO in their primes during those years that everyone else around those two were basically moot, even if they were above average producers on offense.
