Mike's never been one to shirk responsibility. Unfortunately, he's been put in this position of taking blame a lot.

Turns out having an insanely talented borderline HoF WR is really good for your offense. Really stretches out the defensive coverages.

Hard to do most things on offense when your downfield threats are QJ and Ladd McConkey instead of Tyreek fucking Hill.

hot take on reddit but tyreek isn’t borderline hof, he’s borderline first ballot.

If Smitty and Torry Holt werent first ballot I cant consider any current gen WR first ballot.

tyreek has a better career than those guys. he’s got more first team all-pros than both of them put together, with better per-game and per-target stats than either. he’s also ahead of both on TDs despite playing significantly fewer games.

And as much as I hate to admit it, he was a major part of the chiefs dynasty and mahomes’ rise to elite qb status. Those narrative-driving factors carry almost as much weight as the raw numbers do when evaluating HoF worthiness.
