Evaluating a reboot for the Kansas City Chiefs: focusing on aging stars to sustain a robust offense. Are we entering a new era of the Kansas City Chiefs?

Now, will we see a reboot in Kansas City?
And I want to set it up this way.
If you remember back in Tom Brady's time, there was like really two eras of the Brady Super Bowl run.
You had that beginning, and then you had that lull in the middle, like a decade where they didn't win.
They went to Super Bowls, but they didn't win one for a decade.
Do you think we'll see a reboot in Kansas City?
Because, Jacob, I look at that offense.
Where are the star players?
I mean, I get Kenny Walker comes over from Seattle, but Seattle didn't think anything of the Super Bowl MVP.
Xavier Worthy at wideout, okay.
An aging Travis Kelsey.
Where are the stars on offense?
Yeah, there really aren't many, to be completely honest with you right now.
That receiving core, it's just very shaky because if you're banking on Rashee Rice being your most consistent and productive receiver, that could end up being a problem because he hasn't proven he can stay on the field, and he's had some legal trouble in the offseason too.
So I don't know if there's anything on the table from the NFL perspective suspension-wise there, but you know, you, you have a lot of shaky talent there.
Travis Kelsey's past his prime.
Xavier Worthy has speed but hasn't proven he can do it yet.
So you're asking a lot of Patrick Mahomes to elevate the guys around him coming off this big knee injury.
So I'm worried about that.
I like Kenneth Walker, but I could see this Chiefs offense really having some issues kind of putting it together.
So I think to your point, you're right.
There's going to be a reboot at some point, and we might be seeing kind of the early stages of them transitioning away from Kelsey and into some new weapons that they'll have to find in the years coming.
