As far as 'more speed', I mean, MVS and Hardman are both damned near as fast as Hill is. As good? no, of course not. But as fast? Yeah.
I don't think we got slower at all at WR overall. Hardman and MVS are fractions of a tenth of a second slower than Hill, Watson is a 4.4 guy, and Moore is a 4.4-4.5 guy. All are faster than Pringle and Robinson. Hell, they're probably all faster than Sammy Watkins.
He's going to have to prove he can patiently Brady teams to death before they stop dropping 7. Then he'll get his deep shots. So far, he's not consistently shown he'll do that.
I love Mahomes, and I wouldn't trade him for anyone in football, but there's still some maturing to do there. He gets greedy and impatient.

I mean, I’m kind of with you, but to do that you have to have personnel who can do that. I don’t think mahomes trusts his guys and for good reason. To do that we have to run with precision. And you have to have WRs who can make the tough catch. I don’t think Hardman does either of those things. We saw on the last INT jujus frustration because Hardman ran an awful route. Weve seen mahomes frustratedly point to holes because ceh is stutter stepping into the wrong spot. Mecole and mvs are built to go deep or under, not necessarily grind for quick hits with precise routes, and we line them up right next to each other. And mvs isn’t bad at those things but that’s not what he was built for. You can’t have both these guys on the field to run the offense you think we need to run. Not even getting into the OL which can’t hold their blocks. This offense needs to be about timing and we don’t have the horses to do that.
I think Reid is trying to adjust by installing more of a timing offense and while mahomes needs some work there, he also needs reliable targets. We need guys who excel at beating man coverage or press. Who can take some shots in the middle. Who will always wind up in the right place - two of those guys are brand new and mecole still makes too many mistakes to be dependable. At this point I actually think we need to give RoJo and Watson more shots. If what you’re saying is true then we need guys who can execute the basics.
