When people talk about the Chiefs needing to add Wide Receiver depth, a lot of other Chiefs fans will respond that “this is the exact same offense -JuJu +Rashee that got us a Superbowl last year, we don’t need it” which is incredibly misguided because the league changes every single year.
The Buccaneers won a superbowl (against us I’ll add). Proceeded to bring back every single player and coach from that SB team, add in the draft and free agency, then lost in the Divisional to a Rams team that went all in. What was good enough last year, may not be good this year.
Players develop, players age, the tape adds up. The offensive scheming is not at the level it was last year. Kelce is a year older and having a down year. 2 of our WR bets in Skyy and Toney have not worked out. And it’s hard not to see that players that were integral to our SB run can’t even make the field on much much worse teams
The sky isn’t falling, its not panic mode. We’re still leading the AFC and you still have to believe that Andy, Veach, and Mahomes will do everything they think is necessary to win another SB. And if nothing happens on the deadline today I’ll still trust they made the right choice, but WR is a real need and people aren’t being fair weather fans for pointing it out.
WR is a need. There’s nothing wrong with pointing that out.
The recent criticism in this thread is toward people that are overreacting to just that alone (like KC has never had WR problems in the past, when it was almost a constant issue in the era pre-Mahomes), or acting like the sky is falling if we don’t pick up a tried-and-true elite WR immediately that’s going to help us win out the rest of the season and carry us to another Super Bowl win.
The chicken littles around here are not adding anything of value to the WR discussion. They’re just flooding the sub with multiple posts all screaming about the same thing.
