For anyone not paying attention (ahem, Megatron)-
The Chiefs were statistically the best offense in football in almost any metric you want to look at. Does that mean they were perfect? No, of course not. There's a reason why there's a saying like "any given Sunday".
From that team, we're missing Juju, who while being a seasoned pro, was not spectacular in any way. Just a good, solid, professional receiver.
And Hardman, who didn't play much the second half of the year, and never really developed beyond a jet sweep and gadget guy.
In their place, we have a '21 first round pick, a '22 second round pick, and a '23 second round pick. You have to actually play the kids to develop them, you know. And two of those are in year two and should have a good grasp of the offense now. Judging them by last year's stats is stupid; we've been told they're to play bigger roles, and so they will.
And we have veteran insurance policies in James and Watson, for just in case.
All of this hand wringing is a bunch of hooey. This is what you have to do to stay on top, you have to draft well, and you have to PLAY THE KIDS when you're paying your QB 20% of your damned cap. It's a must.
This is going to be a really fun season, where we see the next group of stars revealed before our eyes. It's going to be a blast, no matter what Billay and Megatron want to say.
Keep bitching, boys, and both of you don't get a spot on my bus. You can both walk behind.
