Right. I get Kelce is an outlier as the obvious number 1 TE in football but from a WR corps perspective, what Mahomes has to work with is not that far and away impressive. Obviously, Tyreek is better than a lot of 1’s at WR, but as a group, there are several teams better than the Chiefs since it’s hard to include Watkins because he’s so oft injured. Basically it’s Tyreek 1/3 of Watkins, Pringle and Robinson
WR groups better than the Chiefs: (again, this is as a whole and this is not to bash our guys but rather to show that Patrick doesn’t have it as easy as some think) Falcons (julio also oft injured but not as much as Sammy and he doesn’t miss as many games Bucs Cowboys Seahawks Vikings Cardinals ish Saints ish Bills Could argue Panthers and Chargers as well |

The Vikings one is interesting...Dalvin Cook is outstanding, Justin Jefferson is a great rookie, Thielen is solid and they have 2 pretty good TEs. I don't really think they're better but they do have some players.

What it comes down to is a lot of talking heads make it sound like there's so much talent on the Chiefs offense that Mahomes has it easier than some other QB's. It's really not true. First, you have the offensive line, where the Chiefs probably aren't even in the top half of the league. CEH is good, Bell is good but there's a dozen teams with better 1-2 punches than the Chiefs if you think about it. And then you have the Chiefs with Kelce, Hill, one-legged Watkins, and that's really about it. Even if you still want to say the Chiefs are #1, are the Cowboys, Seahawks, Saints, or any of those other teams THAT far behind? Not really. I mean, he didn't even list a team like the Titans that has two really good WR's and a good TE with Derrick Henry in the backfield. |

Exactly. Hell, most teams these days have a talented WR group. I even forgot a couple candidates like the Bengals (Boyd is great and Higgins is headed to top 5 WR territory within the next few years) and the Steelers where I think JuJu is easily the 3 there. |

I’d take Jefferson, Lockett, Kirk, and John Brown over any non Hill WR on the Chiefs. I’d take Jefferson even if we were counting a healthy Watkins |
