Thats the thing...Smith didn't have the credibility to hurt you deep. I think Hill is a better route runner now than when Smith was here but thats besides the point.
Mahomes does have the cred and he's still throwing a shitton behind the LoS.
Reid always likes throwing to his RBs so that is my conclusion- WCO
