This offense isn't built for it - we have 9-10 guys catch a pass every week.

Our offense worked much much MUCH better in 2022 with a credible threat in MVS than it did in 2023 when teams just stopped covering him because he was....well the hell if I know what he was. He was a mess is what he was.
MVS in 2022 wasn't a weapon on his own, but he was a force multiplier that made a broke-dick like JJSS a 900 yard receiver. That's how critical a speed guy is in this offense.
It isn't just about his yards. It's about his impact on the offense writ large. It's no different than saying "Man, Karlaftis has more sacks than Jones - do we even need to bring CJ back?"
What these guys do to make life easier for their teammates is a big deal. A deep threat opens things up for us.
