Yes, that was max

Also, talent is a tricky word with this receiving core. Talent? Maybe. Talent is only good when you can see it though. Didn't see it much at all last year due to injuries and lack of depth. 

Zay Jones was nowhere near healthy to be the guy we thought he was from 2022, that was with him playing behind Christian & Marvin though.

Jamaal Agnew is a return specialist, also oft injured, doing his best to be something he's not and that's a receiver. It's just not his forte. 

That then leaves you with Tim "Pre Season Jimmy" Jones, Elijah "Can he?" Cooks, and Parker Washington, another guy that had some injury challenges last year. 

We really don't have anybody man. The irony? Ridley will probably end up a Chief somehow, enable Rashee Rice to be even better in year two and help those [BLEEP] get to another Superbowl on a 1 - 2 year high end deal. 

I agree, it's not our biggest problem, but, it will be the classic moment in a play off game where a guy can't separate enough or haul in a contested pass (See road loss in Kansas City in 2022) that people will harp on if, and that's a BIG IF, if, they manage to get the offensive line retooled just enough to get the ground game going and Lawrence less killed in the pocket.

They have a much better oline and well.  Their worst lineman was our best in 2022

Exactly. I like the optimism, but, sorry, until I SEE it, I am keeping myself grounded and very, VERY cautiously optimistic. This team is dangerously close to just being the same team it's been since 2022. 

A pretender. A hope franchise. A Mike Tice Vikings era in disguise in black and teal here. I wish we could just wave a wand and turn this [BLEEP] sandwich into a dream come true, but, that's not how it works unfortunately. 

Talent reveals itself on the football field. And talent, certainly does not start off 8 and [BLEEP] 3 and proceed to collapse to a 9 and 8 finish. Sorry boys, until they start actually making the right moves on paper? We'll just be sitting here waiting...and waiting...and waiting... and hoping...and wishing...
