****Our Wide Receivers Suck- Official Thread****

[Sofa King]

They can’t get open, they drop passes in their hands, their jet sweeps are slow and terrible. These guys are not good.

Chiefs:
MVS 4/5 61 Yards 0 TD
Toney 6/10 36 Yards 0 TD
Moore 3/7 70 Yards 1 TD
Rice 5/7 49 Yards 1 TD
Watson 5/9 107 Yards 0 TD
Ross 1/1 6 Yards 0 TD
James 1/3 6 Yards 0 TD

Raiders:
Jakobi Meyers 9/10 81 Yards 2 TD
Davante Adams 12/17 150 Yards 1 TD
DeAndre Carter 1/2 5 Yards 0 TD
Hunter Renfrow 1/1 23 Yards 0 TD
Tre Tucker 0/1 0 Yards 0 TD

Broncos:
Jerry Juedy 3/5 25 Yards 0 TD
Courtland Sutton 9/12 98 Yards 1 TD
Lil' Jordan Humphrey 3/4 15 Yards 1 TD
Marvin Mims Jr. 4/4 122 Yards 1 TD
Brandon Johnson 4/6 96 Yards 0 TD

Chargers:
Keenan Allen 14/19 188 Yards 2 TD
Mike Williams 12/18 128 Yards 0 TD
Josh Palmer 4/6 17 Yards 0 TD
Quentin Johnson 3/5 16 Yards 0 TD
Derius Davis 1/1 5 Yards

If Mahomes had Davante, Jakobi, and Renfrow it would be lights out for the rest of the NFL, just hand us the trophy.

Needs time.

That’s not a knock on Rice, it’s a knock on how he’s used.

It is kinda odd to go all young at a position with a coach that doesn't seem to want to play those guys early.

My only real complaint about Andy is he refuses to run the ball.

But it’s hard to argue he doesn’t have an issue involving young WRs.

Davante is one of the 5 best in the game.

Sounds like a better fit for your taste.

Or maybe we should utilize the superior talent we have?

Insane that people think otherwise.

Maybe I’m misremembering you being vehemently not an Andy Reid fan

How would YOU utilize it?

What's the problem specfically with how these guys are being utilized?

It should be OK to critique miscues. I know they just won the SB but you should be able to admit the defense has likely overperformed to expectations this far and the offense and especially receiving corps has underperformed.

[lewdog]

Damn, if only we had Sean McVay instead of Andy Reid to get our WR room in order!

THIS.

[O.city]

They’ll get the young ones more involved as we go along here. Andy has always done that if said player deserves it

[O.city]

I don’t know, maybe I missed someone saying you can’t think the offense hasn’t been good enough so far?

I’d guess the whole regime would agree it hasn’t been

And while he made a few big plays today there’s still plenty of question if he can consistently handle the target share. In half the games juju was getting 8+ targets which is a far cry from 2-3. And that’s WITH a healthy kelce.

Which again leads many of us to ask if we have all the right pieces outside of a primary target, but we still have to land that primary target.

Ah, never thought about it like that.

So the challenge is replacing JJSS’s production?

And do you think that might be an insurmountable task after having traded Tyreek Hill away and replaced his production with a number of different receivers?

Who - ex ante - would you think would be harder to replace? JJSS or Hill?

Not saying replacing production is easy. But also saying we have some track record of success that should prevent these dramatically negative takes following week 2.

[O.city]

Id also say the current regime has earned more equity than….well aboit any front office in the history of the league and has shown to improve as we go along in the long season.

Adjusted for salary cap? No Chris Jones, no Jawaan Taylor, no (potentally) Joe Thuney.
