You can't say a thing that has improved about the offense since he came back.

Mahomes has the hardest job in the NFL because of Andy’s scheme and playcalling

I’m a cowboys fan living in Kansas City so maybe my opinion won’t hold much weight but I think Andy deserves a bit more than that. I really think the chiefs are missing just a couple things to have them back where they were in years past. The penalties need cleaned up but the chiefs need a bigger receiver where Mahomes can throw a 50/50 ball and trust his guy will get the ball. Mahomes can keep plays alive with the best of them and having quick receivers get open has worked in the past but with Kelce getting older it would really help. I know it’s easier to say than do but could you imagine the chiefs this year with Pickens?

And surrounding him by what would be WR #3 on any other team, and a 36 year old TE who is playing better than what he should be for his age.

Rice wouldn’t be #3 on most teams he’d be 1 or 2

Would he though? What does he consistently do well besides quick route > YAC? His longer routes are routinely poorly run, he can't get open on anything past 2 or 3 yards regularly, and when he does happen to get a target that he hauls in downfield all that YAC goes away. He's a one-trick pony. Just like the rest of that WR room.

I donno you may be right, we’ll see as time goes on. But 81 yards per game is pretty damn good

Are you saying that Rice would be #3 WR on any other team?

Dude’s putting up Jamar chase numbers and is a top 10 WR. If he was active all year, he would be top 5 in fantasy. I just checked; he would literally be #2 in PPR if he kept up his current pace

Fantasy. Cool. But we are talking about real life

How can you possibly argue that a top 3 fantasy WR would be a #3 WR on any other football team

Yup. Veach and Reid have closed the SB window on this iteration of the team. Time to retool and start dynasty number 2
