During that time we’re asking mahomes to participate in a science experiment. Constantly changing wr rotations, stretches of games where we use the wrong WRs which means they won’t get open or they’ll frustrate mahomes by missing their spots. All while carrying substantial injury risk which creates more chaos especially if toney gets hurt.
And it doesn’t have to be that way. A stable WR1 puts toney in the slot on a snap count and reduces risk that toney gets hurt and forced skyy to be WR1. It means easing rashee in which is realistic in a Reid offense. It means giving Justyn a year to prove his body can take a full year of practice let alone contact. most importantly it gives mahomes stability to have a rock in kelce and WR1 while all the chaos underneath gets sorted out. Mahomes is a great teammate but as an example, if our wr room is still chaotic by the time we play Miami, do we think that won’t sting mahomes when tyreek gloats about how much we needed him? Do we think fans will be nearly this casual about experimenting when we ultimately play Philly, cincy, buffalo in games we need to be at our very best and critics are finding any small slip up as an excuse to knock mahomes down?

WR room will be figured out? What's that mean? You have to figure out Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid and not just one, but both of them if you want to have a chance to stop this offense. Defenses have to figure out a way to stop the most brilliant offensive mind that this sport has ever seen and then you have to find a way to stop the best QB/player this sport has ever seen.
You see, if you just figure out Andy's scheme and how to match up and know beforehand all the little details and intricacies of each play, then Mahomes can still beat you because he can extend plays and make throws that pretty much no one else can. You have to hope that every single player on defense is exactly where they should be, because even a lineman out of place allows Mahomes to tuck it and run for 20 yds. You have to be perfect every play or else PMII will see your mistake and capitalize.
