Is it a bottom of the roster type skill-set or a top end skill-set? No idea. But if he didn't belong, he wouldn't be there. |

Odell payed Baltimore to pay him. So he wouldn't be embarrassed in KC by Ross
|
It would help to see a bunch of 5'11 defensive backs covering him so you can see how big this guy is.
|
Mecole and JuJu gone. No free veteran free agent WRs signed. One WR drafted. We've got a spot open and I won't be surprised if Justyn Ross makes his first catch in our season opener.

MVS must be the locker room savvy vet.

I'm pulling for the kid. I love the story, and he's the only body type of his kind on the roster.
I'm not saying I'm counting on anything, I'm just saying I am inclined to hope for him succeed. |
If they don’t have a FB on the 53 it opens up a spot for a 4th TE or possibly 7th WR.
And keep a FB or FB/TE hybrid on the ps ready to call up. |

The competition at WR is going to be great for these young guys.

Who is covering him?

If they think he’s really back (Ross) we might just roll with our group in the end. |
The problem is the low floor.
Hopkins elevates the floor so much. |

Justyn Ross is making this team. |

I was all about Watson but some of those drops soured me. I would not miss him at all.
I'm not sure that's the guy who will be pushed out though. |

I think he makes the team and has a breakout year.
The dude is damn good or was in college before he got hurt. |

With Ross I’d rather not do what we did with niang and rely on him to be healthy. It’s a good year to ease him back then beat the hell out of him in practice. See if his body can take a full year of it.

Quote:
These are different kinda guys here, and Watson brings more as a WR6 than Ross does, theoretically. Ross is really going to have to be special. And i can't imagine the Chiefs carrying 7 WRs. |
People need to realize those highlights are from January 2019 following the 18 season in football terms, that is a lifetime.
|
Richie James caught 57 balls (tied for team lead on a decent offense) on 70 targets from a crappy QB last season. He's not going anywhere.

I think it was a bad idea to re-sign Watson.
Here's what I'd like to see: Hopkins Toney Justyn Ross Rice MVS Moore James Could be the best and deepest WR corps in the league. |

If Ross became a real thing that would solve so many of our issues. We don't have anyone else like him on the roster. |

They're kinda duking it out for the same job. But if everything Ross stans believe to be true actually manifests, and everything breaks our way with him and he becomes something GREATER than he was 4-5 years ago, you'd imagine his ceiling being DeAndre Hopkins. |
That wasn't me saying that

Rashee Rice is the one who compares to Hopkins
Ross is nearly three inches taller and weighs less, they aren't the same https://i.imgur.com/K19Z2vp.png Ross did all this with a broken foot, remember edit: re-reading I'm not sure if I understood |
Quote:
Except Hopkins is an elite route runner and Ross....remains to be seen what he can do in that regard. He wasn't in college. |
Are you saying Ross doesn't have speed?
He just smoked Nazeeh Johnson who ran a 4.3 |

Has anyone ever seen Conner Embree and Kiimosabi in a room together? DJBILL, check your source on this. |
I am 100% refusing to get my hopes up like a little kid on Christmas Eve over this guy.
And I'm going to keep telling myself that over and over and over until I actually stop getting my hopes up like a little kid on Christmas Eve over this guy. |
Quote:
I'm just trying to understand, do you mean he doesn't have any speed NOW or like, ever? Because he was out there outrunning Alabama defensive backs all over the place before he was injured |

I really don't get why anyone is getting all hyped for him at all. This isn't the dark ages where we can only find joy in football by looking for those diamond in the rough players and hoping that one breaks out to help end our suffering. We have Patrick Mahomes. I couldn't care less about Justyn Ross magically becoming healthy and not only returning to the guy he was his Freshmen year, but somehow being better than he was back then. He's had significant injuries and can't stay on the field. How's he magically gonna be better when he's only played in 10 games since the end of 2019. He also didn't improve over his college career, so why would I think he's gonna just magically be good against wayyyyyyy better competition?

Is he a burner? no. I don't give a shit about a high school time whatsoever. I don't give much a shit whether the kid makes it or not, other than I like a good story, so I'm rooting for him, but it's a lottery ticket and not worth getting worked up over. But at least argue in good faith. You KNOW he ran on a broken foot, you KNOW that Veach and Reid at least thought he was worth taking a flier on, and medically red-shirting for a year, so there's SOMETHING there they thought was at least worth the effort and patience they've shown so far. So the argument that he's a slow, not-of-NFL-caliber-athlete stuff is nonsense. Really smart football minds that have won a couple of Super Bowls think otherwise. I'm not saying anything at all other than it's going to be an interesting pre-season situation to watch. |
Sometimes I just think you guys are bored so you HAVE to create conflict.
We've been to 5 straight AFCCG's, 3 Super Bowls, and won two in the last five years. These guys know what they're doing in ways that few people ever have. Why can't we just enjoy it, and root for the longshot kids to make it? Why can't we just get excited for the new group of stars like the three high investment WR's to show out? Why's it got to be all gloom-and-doom? You KNOW it's not going to go down that way. You KNOW we're going to be right there at the end, as good as anyone with a chance to win it all. |
I don't think it's doom and gloom to say it's unlikely that an UDFA does much in the league until proven otherwise.

It's a young WR room, but there's no reason to assume they can't play the bigger roles that we'll need them to. But some people here on CP make it sound like we have the worst WR corps in the NFL. I promise you, that's not how this plays out. |
