Mahomes and Wilson can't carry league worst defenses, but Geno can? Don't do drugs.
And therein lies the misconception.
The question is whether Geno is afs good as Goff. Because it's been proven that that's all he has to be for the offense to function pretty well
Wilson plays as if he needs to put up 50 everytime he has the ball. We will score 24 points in 9 minutes of a half and the opposing team will have the ball for 21, maybe not score as much in that span, and then slowly go ahead in the 2nd half because the defense is on the field too much.
This is exactly what happened against the Rams ( end of the first half they out possessed us 2-1)... and Titans...and to a degree, against the Vikings, but the Minnesota game was more just a defensive collapse Not to say the defense didn't have some pretty significant errors itself against all of those teams (its not good), but they can't give up yards if they are on the bench. And the opposing team's offense (like ours) will have a harder time getting into rhythm if they aren't on the field as much.
You know how you do that? The same way other teams do it to us. Methodically march down field, 8 to 12 yards at a time. And you have a better chance of doing that if every 3rd play isn't a heave 40 yards downfield. When that works, it's usually in the first half when we are mixing in the run better. 2nd half, we play 'throw it around the yard to DK and Tyler' and defenses just sit back and wait. They don't stop us, we stop ourselves.
So I don't see a reason why Geno can't play within the system, hit higher percentage passes within the plan Waldron designs to get receivers free, and on a more frequent occasion, mix in runs that aren't the same bs RO looks we've always given.
We hired Waldron because he's supposed to be able to draw up a passing attack that is passer friendly... read and react. Look what that offense did for Goff. The scheme was good enough to get them to the superbowl... and it wasn't like they were Trent dilfer and the ravens. They put up points.
.
And comparing Mahomes / KC struggles and Wilson / Seattle's struggles is irrelevant. They are failing for different reasons.
