Before that; the complaints were always that they didn’t have enough weapons.
Last year, the Chiefs had enough weapons. The mix of the room worked because MVS was a credible enough big-play guy to keep defenses deep and the dependable possession guy was productive as a complement to Kelce. They were the best offense in the league.
This year’s plan at WR didn’t work, but a lot of things went wrong for that to happen. MVS regressing. No progression from Moore. Early injury to Kelce. James getting hurt. Toney got hurt and flaked.
It’s frustrating, but people are WAY too emotional about this on here.

Hollywood landed. They then traded him away and got another pick to use after he was productive as their #1 WR in a run-based offense.
Last year the Chiefs didn't have weapons. They had Kelce who is a HOF unicorn that was already on the roster when Veach took over 6 years ago.
Veach then traded his HOF #1 WR away. So that's subtraction and used that to build defense.
He signed JuJu who was a good bandaid and functional but I would not call that a weapon.
If the plan was to tread water then you don't let your #1 WR from your SB team walk and not replace. Not only did Veach decline to do that in FA (he spent the money for a JuJu resign/replacement on more defense) but he refused to add at trade deadline when it was obvious the plan was broken.
We went into the year with no #1 or #2 WR. That's negligence on a SB contender.
