I don't have a 'me' problem. I'm a Chiefs fan and have the best GM, head coach, and QB in football and when they all tell me we're in good shape with a deep WR room, I'm relaxed. Some of you guys, not so much. You haven't adjusted your 'because Chiefs' meter yet. |

If all of our returning receivers just did what they did last season we have 4,000 yards banked already. That’s with nothing from Rice or James. We’re fine either way as I don’t subscribe to the notion that JJSS was the one responsible for opening up most of those catches. I like to believe Skyy and Toney will contribute much more this season. If we get Dhop that’s icing on the cake but still wouldn’t overlay him and make it impossible to keep some of the other key pieces that we’ll have to pay in the next season or two.

Kinda feels like Toney staying healthy is the major differentiator here. He’s got such a high ceiling that none of the other WR’s have.
The guy was barely here for a minute when he got here, was ****ing around before he knew the offense and straight up embarrassed defenders. The flashes are there and he’s got “it”. If he can just stay on the field, I think he’s gonna be a guy who demands double coverage, which will **** defenses. |

This is a bunch of hand wringing nonsense. |

That is nowhere near the loss of value we experienced losing Tyreek and our offense got BETTER. If our offense has a slight regression, let alone stands pat, we will be a better team overall this year. If these young WRs hit we'll be substantially better than last year. If Hopkins joined I'd be as pumped as anybody, but everyone saying we aren't ready for the season with our current WRs is just typical off-season panic. |

There's been some comparison in style of play and RAS scores and whatnot but nobody is seriously saying any of these kids are the equivalent of hall of famers in June of 2023. Rice, for example, has a similar style of play, and I remarked that if people love DHop, they should want to draft Rice because he's a very similar style and skill-sets. That's not the same thing as saying he's DHop's equal day one. You're getting more and more hyperbolic here, and it's getting silly. |

Yeah, I exaggerated quite a bit to illustrate my point. But there's already people saying Skyy is going 1,000 yards/10 TDs. That Rice will be a large part of the offense. And so on. I have to go to my nephew's graduation right now, so this has to be cut short, but I hope my point has been made. Yes, there's a lot of POTENTIAL with these guys, but I'm not silly enough to believe that they'll be one of the most dangerous WR rooms in the NFL in 2023. Maybe/probably in 2024. But Skyy, Rice, and Toney still have a lot of growing up to do, and it's not all going to get done this season, that's my point. |
I give the Chiefs about a 1 in 31 chance

Everybody got all excited [including me] about the prospects of adding Hopkins. but it’s pretty clearly not going to happen. He’s probably going to go to Cleveland or someone else that pays him more than Kansas City Will. But just because our excitement didn’t pan out last night drop into despair. I don’t think there was anywhere near this level of angst about the wide receiver situation before the Hopkins option started getting discussed. This isn’t our biggest problem. Our biggest problem is that the Eagles and the Bengals, who were basically as good as the Chiefs last year. [with the difference, been more luck than anything else] which seem to have improved a lot more than we have. But we’re still close enough that we can still be in the hunt and if we continue to be lucky, we can win another Super Bowl. |
“KPRC's Aaron Wilson reports there's a "strong possibility" DeAndre Hopkins signs with the Browns.
Wilson is a longtime Texans insider who covered Hopkins and Watson in Houston. In Cleveland, Hopkins would reunited with Deshaun Watson, who tore up opposing secondaries with Hopkins as his No. 1 wideout in Houston before his legal troubles. Hopkins, released by the Cardinals last week, is reportedly considering a range of teams, including the Bills, Chiefs, and Texans. If he were to land with the Browns, Amari Cooper's fantasy prospects would take a major hit. A target magnet for his entire NFL career, Hopkins would certainly have top-12 fantasy upside in a Browns offense widely expected to be more pass-heavy in 2023.” |

What the Chiefs need is ONE of Skyy Moore, Richie James, Rashee Rice, and Kadarius Toney to step up and be as effective as Juju Smith-Schuster. One. And they need one more guy to step up and be as productive as Mecole Hardman was last year. And you’re standing pat, basically, from a WR room that was good enough a season ago to post a super efficient, league-leading total that was without true weakness/hole based on coverage type. And you have some lottery tickets in the Ross’s in the mix, too. They’re throwing numbers at it. I don’t think it’s going to be one of the best rooms in the league by any means, but I think the floor is similar to last year, with quite a bit more upside. |

Stack another tough obstacle in the AFC North. North and East have gotten very difficult. The Browns with Hopkins and Watson and Cooper are not a true threat to beat KC in a playoff game, but it makes it more likely they trip up the Ravens and Bengals. |
