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.
Kelce through 8 games

2 good games…Out of 8
Yeah he’s declining
The numbers don’t back that up.
Yards per game do not count games he didn’t play in at all.
So he’s actually slightly better than what his best year was on a per-game basis.
He’s in his 6th season of Mahomes throwing him the ball. If you take his total yards through 8 games it comes out to 72ypg, meaning it’s not even his worst first 8 weeks of those 6 years…and it’s in 7 games.
