Chiefs Chiefs confident Sammy Watkins, Patrick Mahomes are “starting to sync”

Did people forget how the offense went anemic when Kelce left with a concussion? While some of the blame is on Smith and his rigid style of play...I think Veach saw after losing Conley and Kelce, that the team needed some insurance. What if Hill gets hurt and they have Mahomes in his first year, without a #1 WR?

KC hasnt used any game planning yet..you know, where you create specific mismatches? Watkins, Hill, Kelce and Hunt are going to be a handful...I'm reserving judgment until I see this in action and how it's intended.

People are going mental over the defense...yet Ragland, Hitchens and Berry haven't played yet. That's essentially the starting interior guts of the defense. I'm reserving judgment on that too... no team is going to look great with all 3 starters out.

I agree $16 mil for Watkins was a luxury expense to a degree...but Veach has wanted him probably since the draft...and is banking his career on Mahomes being successful.
