Hill is a truly unique player. How many teams have tried to draft 'the next Hill' only for them to bust? It's besides the point anyway - this team doesn't need to find 'the next Hill'. While he's a great player - KC haven't missed a beat without him & Miami haven't won anything with him. Just goes further to prove the theory that a #1/alpha receiver is simply not the necessity that many believe it to be....
If a player is productive playing in a certain role or within a certain scheme - it is absolutely fair to question how & why that production is happening. You then project that into how you see this offence coming together, how that meshes with current players on the roster, etc. It's not like playing Madden in rookie mode...
Yes and No on both bolded teams.
KC has certainly missed a beat in their passing game. Are they still winning? Yes, but it's not because they score a lot or have productive receivers (partially your point as well).
Miami def got better with Hill, but yes, again to your point. They haven't won much with him.
