Was Demarcus Robinson better than I remember? Or was it all PM?

Watching that highlight film of PM and he seems in there a lot?

He could play, but man he made some dumb mistakes.

Compared to this last year's wide receiver group he's pretty good.

He was absolute ****ing trash. He's worse than you remember. Dude playing like 75% of the snaps until he got dialed back his last year here and couldn't muster over 264 yards, 13 1st downs, and 3 TDs. Andy really tried to give him an opportunity to break out, but he regressed to absolute trash. He was a decent 3/4 option his 4th and 5th year here, but didn't do much before that and was shit after that.

He had a bunch of talent, but went to shit.

He was better than Skyy and Toney. Take that for what it’s worth.

This. He was a decent #3 while he was here. Just infuriating with the dumb mistakes he made after catching the ball.

That was 2021 stats, he was on his way out.

Oh wording was confusing because he had a few 450 yard seasons here while playing 40-70% of snaps.

For a guy who was mostly a 4th option in this offense, I'll take it.

He actually had a decent season for the Rams this last year. Had a 2 or 3 game run when Kupp was hurt where he put up some solid numbers and looked good. Definitely an upgrade over Van Jefferson.

I remember when we drafted him and thought "Hey cool, a college receiver from a high powered offense! Maybe he can come in and bring a spark!"

Ah, I was so young and innocent back then. Not to mention smack dab in the middle of thinking Alex Smith could win us a championship.

He was a good athlete and he was alert in scramble drills, which brought him value. Obviously he was missing some factor that could elevate him into the starting lineup, or the guys in front of him had too much talent. But he's had a longer NFL career than most.

He caught Patrick's first game pass ever if I remember right, and he caught Patrick's 50 TD/5,000 yard pass, so I have fond memories of him. And he'll give us "running backwards" jokes for the rest of our lives, so we'll always remember him.

Yep, my expectations were pretty low with him. I would take him over Toney and Skyy in a heartbeat. MVS balls out in the playoffs so he barely gets off the hook.

When he threw snowballs before the Broncos game at Arrowhead, Demarcus definitely was more Jackson than Patrick as far as form goes.

As far as football goes, the most impressive thing about Demarcus was how many iconic Mahomes plays he was a part of, despite being a mid WR. Remarkable highlight reel (courtesy of Mahomes mostly), unremarkable wideout. But that is enough to remember fondly.

Spoiler!

D-Rob gets all the escalades just for these.

Outside of the postseason, they are still in my top 10 Mahomes throws.

The Chiefs would have gone undefeated last year with Rice and 3 D-Robs. But that's mostly about how pathetic our WR corps was.
