Defector headline: DeAndre Hopkins Willingly Agrees To Catch The Rare Titans Pass

But him going to a team that is probably at best 8th in the AFC makes him largely a non factor. |

Why are we still posting in this thread? Close it and lock it until we revisit it in two years when this turd fizzles out of the league after winning exactly 0 playoff games in Tennessee. Then we can all talk about what a useless shithead he is.

Seems Andy has been able to do it thru his career at WR so it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. |

A weakness? I dunno. With Mahomes at QB and Andy at HC.....seems like it should work out pretty well. I don't know how we can see it as less than last year and that worked out fine? |
Quote:
Rebuilt at WR, were a contender, won a SB. Rebuilt the secondary, were a contender, won a SB. I guess I'm not really getting the issue. |
Meh. We'll be fine. MVS and Toney have already proven to be able to step up and ball out when it's their time, and Moore and Rice both will grow into their respective roles.

The rebuilt OL featured Joe Thuney who's probably the best guard in the league and OT's that weren't rookies even if you hated them. The secondary featured a 1st round pick, a safety room with experience and Sneed. Last year's WR room had JuJu to at least be a consistent presence for the most part. I'm not saying the position will sink the team but the biggest thing it lacks are just a consistent presence. MVS has never been that, Toney can't stay on the field so then we are to a bunch of guys that just have never done it. |
Quote:
We need someone who can move chains in critical situations like JuJu could. He wasn't completely healthy last year but you look at some of our close games, the SB, Texans game, Titans, later in the season against the Donks - those were his best games. A critical first down changes the outcome a lot of weeks in the NFL. We don't really have anyone who can definitely fill that role, and we need to replace ~80 receptions and ~1000 yards. The main concern with the team this year might be how we're going to do that. |
Quote:
Toney I'll believe he'll stay healthy when he does, talent is there but he's legit always hurt. |

"Dollar signs." No surprise. At least Nuk will be able to watch the Super Bowl in a well furnished home theater.

JJSS is a fungible player and if Skyy Moore can't fill that role we have bigger issues.

I think that the Kansas City Chiefs, my favorite team, are poised to make a run at another title!
|
There was no way KC would have ever been in on something like that. I'd rafter extend Jones and Sneed
|
Pretty amazing that people act like it's a stretch to think we can replace JSS with one or some combination of Moore, James, and Rice.

So much handwringing over replacing JJSS and Hardman w/ Rice and James. That's it - that's all we've done. And Hardman missed most of last season (and was a whipping boy when he was in there). JJSS didn't DO anything but run 5 yard routes and stand in space. "JJSS was reliable..." No he wasn't. He was a known quantity and part of what was known was that he is NOT reliable due to a chronic knee issue. The one thing we reliably know about JJSS is that he can be relied on not to ever beat man coverage. His greatest contribution there was drawing a holding call because Andy deked the hell out of Bradberry with those route combinations. I just don't see any loss there. And there's plenty of room for improvement - even from guys like James (a veteran in a similar system last season in NYG) and MVS, who was SO close to being a massive weapon for us so many times. Oh, and who had the game of his life in the AFCCG. Not sceered. |

At least he's not on the Bills or on a real rival team.

And James actually found the end zone. For all this talk about how 'reliable' JJSS was, he got in 3 times all season. That's actually pretty lousy for the #1 guy.

And the one area where we have the most questions A) Has some really nice possible answers and B) Is the area on this team that the baddest man on the planet can do the most to help out. It's a cap league - teams are SUPPOSED to have questions. But we're not appreciably worse off than we were a year ago when won the 'ship. |

James is only a PR. Can't project a big year 2 jump for Moore. Rice won't play, even though everybody else is unreliable or shit. |
Quote:
If Toney is spending a lot if time injured, that can put more pressure on Kelce to stay in the game when you would rather see him do more load management. Can Mahomes win with basically JAGs at WR. Yes, but he also takes more hits in order to do so and again the margin for winning gets reduced. Sure, these are great problems to have compared to 31 other NFL teams. But I rather suspect that Toney's health for the post season is going to be big, big, story line for a very good reason. Ah, what am saying? Of course KC will just waltz into another SB appearance... |

It's a young group, but much more talented and more depth, along with Toney and Moore being in year 2. |

James is nothing more than a PR isn't reasonable debate. James is only as good as the contract we gave him isn't reasonable debate. Automatically assuming Rice doesn't contribute much isn't reasonable debate. You're being a drama queen whether you want to acknowledge it or not :shrug: |
Quote:
We're just discussing a WR group that will collectively be asked to be a lot bigger contributors than they've ever been on an NFL team before, and if there's anyone on the roster who could be a #1 receiver in the NFL. If anything the dramatic behavior is coming from the people who are shocked that anyone might have questions about it. |
Quote:
Skyy Moore should be able to be a solid starter at this point. But again you're expecting something he hasn't shown you when you think that. |

SO IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS GUY IS TRULY A GIGANTIC PIECE OF SHIT!!!!

Richie James is what he is, basically every team in the league has a guy like that, he's not gonna go out there and be a top 2 WR. From WR 3-7 the Chiefs are pretty good lotta a depth but 1 and 2 is where the issue lays for the most part. |

This isn't Alex Smith. We have an unbelievable disparity when it comes to everyone else. We're graded on a curve. Don't believe me? Look at Josh Allen and how he's struggled to push through. Look at Joe Burrow being carried by his team having zero 4th quarter playoff TD's or TD drives. Our risk tolerance is on a whole other level and last year was full proof of that. Mahomes is that much better than everyone else. |
Andy Reid is too good of an offensive mind, and Mahomes is too good of a QB, for all the young talent in that WR room to disappoint.
I'm just not concerned even though I have no issue acknowledging that the WR room is unproven today. |
Quote:
But those guys were better prospects as well, Jackson had truly elite speed and was a plus kick returner. Maclin was a much higher level prospect and might have been a top 10 pick before he was injured at the combine IIRC. |
