WR salaries have exploded. Unless you have a Bonafide WR1, you are better just drafting a new one. Those salaries are insane.

But at the same time, QBs salaries have exploded while they are required to do to less and less and years pass.

lol easier to write than accomplish. It’s no diff that running back by committee. You need a good QB to do anything in this league, most importantly win.

But will pay QBs double to have 65% of their yards come from YAC...lol.
Who has more rings Mahomes or Tyreek? I bet he gets two more before Tyreek/Waddle even get to one.

The league isnt drifting away from it. Having an elite Quarterback negates the need for a bonafide number 1 receiver. If you dont have that then you need a bonfafide number 1 guy to make up for it.

So you are saying that you didn't see the Chiefs defense carry them to this last Super Bowl? Truth be told, I wasn't even singling out Mahomes in the comment that I made about 65% YAC (although his is near the top of the league).
If you look at the post, I said "on another note" and then quoted that part of the article and this goes back to what I always bring up around scheming and specifically what they are talking about in terms of motion.
But this turns into a chicken or an egg thing. Do QBs elevate WRs or do WRs elevate QBs because I'm trying to think about who we consider "Top 5" and then I'm trying to think of them elevating receivers more than they were before they got there.

2022 we had Jameis (3 games/had his career high of 147 yards) and the Day Walker the rest of the year.
2023 he had DC4

Guess I just have higher expectations because I just haven’t seen it with Olave yet

He’s not close to Michael Thomas.

So you’re saying the Chiefs go to and win the Super Bowl without Mahomes? Never managed to before he became the starter.

If we are being honest, they didn't do it before Spags. lol
But I will say that with THIS SEASON'S defense, most of his prior offenses would make a run at it. Think about it like this; they were the worst second half team in the entire NFL this past season. They went into the AFC Championship and beat the #4 scoring offense in the NFL, while scoring less than 20 points AND not scoring a single point in the 2nd half of the game. They then go to the Super Bowl, where the special teams/defense keeps them in the game AND makes the crucial plays for the comeback to happen. Talking about the comeback, we saw the ball go over 10 yards once those last 2 drives of the game. So yeah, this season at least, any one of his past teams would have a fantastic chance to win the Super Bowl.

No one said he was. I responded to someone who said that MT produced with a variety of QBs. Olave has done that out of the gate as a rookie and 2nd year player. PLUS, being that I AM the biggest MT fan (I will always call things as they are), he didn’t have to do that as a rookie. MT had Drew for 16, 16, and 15 games his first 3 years. So…….
