Absolutely it's scheme vs talent. But that's kinda the point. Tyreek Hill's marginal return in this offense was diminishing as other teams had caught up to what we were trying to do (and of course, his cost was going up at the same time). In 2018, no one had any clue how to stop us. By 2021 the blueprint was out there and it was starting to pay more dividends.
So you make adjustments. Maybe devote fewer resources to the WR position because you're going to be running a different style of offense while building a young defense. It's constant evolution.
It's entirely fair to compare our offense this year versus last because we're having similar levels of success with a different formula. And as I said before, that's just a reminder that there's a lot of ways to skin a cat and I think we have the right people in charge (Reid + Veach) to be able to figure that out more times than not.
The tension with regard to tackle vs pass rusher vs WR is the exact thing that's going to define Veach's life this offseason. I may favor some avenues over others but I think I'll end up trusting whichever road they head down.
