I think they really changed the offense to be more oriented to a vast array of quantity mixed with quality. And the quality is hopefully the guys they drafted the last 2 years in the 2nd rd. Toney sure has been. He was a great pickup for the price/salary investment.

No doubt mahomes became better. We got smarter about the type of WR we wanted. But it should have happened sooner. And it still follows a trend that we react to problems on offense instead of anticipating them. I’m not saying we’re doing things poorly. I just think we’re short shrifting the offense in the search for a top 3 defense.

And that looms very large because life with even a lesser version of kelce will open up a whole lot more cans of worms than losing tyreek. Will we anticipate that? Or will we wait for the decline to materialize before we put some urgency behind it. Because history seems to indicate we’ll wait for this to hit its peak before we actually address it
