At some point Chiefs kingdom convinced themselves that Mahomes has to stay in the pocket. (NOT what made him special). That Mahomes has to play in the structure of the offense. (NOT what made him special). That Mahomes has to be this dink and dunk QB because apparently we're incapable of anything else. (NOT what made him special).

Everyone convinced themselves that if you give Mahomes an army of Albert Wilson's he'll do the rest!

If you're going to spend money on everything but WR then you had better draft well. And well....they haven't draft worth a shit at WR.

First, I would argue Mahomes was at his PEEK when he had a good OL and defenses didn't know how to defend him or the Chiefs offense.

Second, the overwhelming majority of Chiefs fans never convinced themselves that Mahomes needed to stay in the pocket. We all know Mahomes is at his best when he's making plays off platform.

As for the idea that Chiefs fans all thought Mahomes could make Albert Wilson into Jerry Rice, I was a person who never bought the narrative that a stable of WRs could come close to replacing what Hill provided. That said, I acknowledged that it was certainly worth a shot given that we didn't have a great deal of other options at that point (I'm still waiting for you to tell me we should've traded a 1st and probably more for McLaurin or AJ Brown). And through 3 games, we have one amazing performance and 2 very lackluster performances. But I also think the OL has done him no favors at all and we've seen him struggle in the past when he doesn't trust his protection.

So is your problem the Hardman draft pick and writing Sky Moore off after 3 games? Or are you just criticizing the trade of Hill? The team always wanted to have Hill and JuJu as their primary wideouts. Should we have force JuJu at gunpoint last offseason?

And does the fact that we have the best pass catching TE in the NFL lessen the need to have the most dynamic WRs in the game? Absolutely. And will that change as Kelce becomes less productive? Also absolutely.
