They did and here we are. There's arguments, as you've said, for why you shouldn't but that's.....I dunno I don't think you can view things like that. |

I think you just have to be realistic with some players. Like the Chargers should be going into every season knowing Mike Williams will eventually get hurt. It's the same for the chiefs except Toney hasn't shown to be anywhere near as good as Mike Williams so it should have less effect on our offense when he does miss time.

Let Moore do the gadget stuff. He's not on Tyreek's level obviously but he can do it fine. Doesn't require much thinking.

Dammit I really do want DJ Moore in here.
If there's any way to make it work on the cap, I'm giving a 2nd for him easy. Can't give up a 1 -- too many needs on the horizon. But he's just so damn perfect for this offense. |

Second, the Chiefs, under Andy Reid, love having a guy with Next Level speed to run various gadget plays. He has an army of those plays and he loves having a Z run them. When Andy arrived, he made do with Dexter McCluster, but in 2014 he snagged De'Anthony Thomas. Then he snagged Tyreek, who became much more than that, and then Mecole came along. They tried John Ross this offseason but it wasn't working and the dude retired. And now they're just trying to make do with an amalgam of guys doing Z work. Washington is a Z. Toub now likes the guy. The track record for those guys getting playing time is strong. |

Injuries just seem to be so random, even in guys that get injured alot. Maybe you're right and teams should view it more that way, but limited resources and all..... I'm not sure how you do. |

What do you think that quick out is? That was the Tyreek Hill 'easy money' whip route kind of thing. You can't even run gadget stuff when the dude doesn't seem to have "cut 90 degrees and run in a straight line" thing figured out. And he's nowhere near explosive enough for the Hardman packages. He's just not very useful if he can't run a simple route tree. And right now he can't. |

I'm not sure the future needs really require a 1. Maybe your LT obviously, but they've bandaided it before so maybe you can keep doing that. Ideally, you don't have to do it and I'm not sure the Bears will allow their GM to do it anyway. |

Other than that....yeah, I'd want Toney doing it. He's got the speed and vision. |

To this point they've gotten neither. I think they figured at least one of those 2 possibilities would hit. And they didn't have the spare capital to really create a 3rd. I mean ultimately think about how badly things would've gone last season without Pacheco. That's the cost of busting on a 1st/2nd round pick you're counting on to start. Pacheco as a 7th rounder performing like a 1st/2nd day pick bailed us out. So Moore busting left Toney as the possible 'salvage' and if he's not performing, we're reaching deep into the bag. |

Toney can't run Wasp. The Chiefs, right now, don't have a guy they give playing time to who can run Wasp. Washington has the deep speed and twitch, at least, to run it. Time will tell if he can see the field. |
