Andy Reid will get the most out of him if he stays healthy and if Mahomes does his part. And his speed combined with Hill's and Kelce's speed will be a problem.
I guess it really doesn't matter if Hill and Watkins aren't as good as their numbers indicate, as long as they're putting up numbers. But are they really guys you can trust to make a play in a crucial situation? The big plays are great, but they happen like once a game. What good are you if you make one big play and are invisible the rest of the game? [Reply]

Good part is no one has to carry the offense. At any point, Hill, Hunt, Watkins or Kelce can make a play [Reply]

You should probably ask yourself this about Case Keenum bc aside from a miracle play that will never happen again, he has not proven to be good in crucial moments. [Reply]

I feel like this is an odd thing to say. How do we know how players will perform till they get there? Did we know Foles would be so clutch? Obviously we have no idea how they will perform in a "big game" until we get to one. If Mahomes is as good as we think he will be - then an AFC championship game will be in the not too distant future, and then we will see. Hill has a habit of being targeted in crunch time though, so I have no doubt he will shine in crucial moments. Watkins on the other hand feeds of crowds and elite opponents, so should dominate. He had no drops last year.
And as far as one big play then being invisible goes - neither Hill or Watkins are those players- so nothing to worry about there. They've both proven to be extremely talented and productive when targeted. It's just up to the coach and qb to get them the ball. Unfortunately Goff didn't do that last year and routinely missed Watkins or didn't throw his way despite him constantly being open. [Reply]
