Veach and Reid have a template to compete each year

This is absurd. Wringing hands about 2024 is silly. As always, some younguns will surprise, some things that look shaky in May will turn out to be strengths, and some things that look strong on paper will need shoring up.

Each year, we'll say goodbye to good players, and hello to new ones.

And each year, we will be serious contenders for the Super Bowl. You have to draft well, and you have to play the kids to develop them.

Mahomes plus best 52. This is the way.

I don’t think anything said is unfair or untrue.

At defense we have put a lot of effort and done good work to not only set all our starters, we have a lot of depth too.

On offense we have had low quality play at both Tackles and a big question mark around 1 this year. At WR for 5 years we did not bring in a single prospect who could even compete for WR3 let alone WR1. So now we are setting that lineup largely on potential vs having guys actually set. It is very fair to say we’ve done great on defense but have not set our offense yet.

Mahomes/Reid/kelce can and have covered warts. I don’t think that needs to be an excuse to be complacent. Like I said maybe wanya and rice and skyy finally fix these gaps. But they are gaps where we need to move from bandaids to solutions.
