When you watch his tape from his first few years he was absolutely electric. Good hands, fast, physical and ran clean routes to get open. No receiver in the game would have produced much with the Steelers back up qb's and a noodle armed Big Ben on his last legs imo. I think this WR core is gonna surprise a lot of people tbh. [Reply]
He's playing for a big deal. Probably not with us, but still. I expect a really solid season from him. Barring injury an 80 catch 1000 yd floor. [Reply]

I guess I'm worried about it taking 6~8 games for Juju and MVS to figure things out. And a year+ for Skyy.
I hope that's overly pessimistic and Hoover's optimism is warranted.
These guys are already working with Pat snd getting the playbook digestible to attack early on while developing the diversity of the attack as the season matures.

It all depends on if he can stay healthy. Just like Sammy, but when Juju has been healthy, he has been consistently effective in an offense that has had similar concepts as ours. When Juju was putting up impressive numbers, it was with a big strong armed QB that bought time for his guys to get open and threw to the open man with accuracy and zip.
Defenses will only be able to use Mahomes tendencies in game prep to a certain extent and will have nothing else to base their game plans on. There is no film on how this offense will operate in 2022 with new talent everywhere you look.
Think about how fucking dangerous that is.
Andy will likely have at least 7-8 games before opposing defense start to catch up.

.
I get that their first experience doesn't start in September. But still...
Some of the optimism... Especially with Skyy, since rookie WR's seem so slow to produce in Andy's offense.
I'm not thinking the WR group is going to a flop. But I just wonder if it isn't going to be a slow start with so many new faces one of which is a rookie.
If it won't be a while before Andy and Mahomes are able to really use the full playbook and full audibles while keeping everyone on the same page.
Practices aren't always the same as real games with opposing defenses that bring different skill sets and situations.
Again, I hope my expectations for the start of the year are unduly pessimistic. [Reply]
