In the long term maybe they're better served tanking this year and getting a QB next draft. They ain't going nowhere in 2022 anyways.

Super late, but worthy of requoting for several pages later. Just an absolute domination of a catch. My super Jet fan dad, one of the loudest and most annoying loving people to watch games with because he's constantly going "FIRST DOWN! GO BABY! TOUCHDOWN! WOOOO" at the top of his lungs, I remember him uttering a very quiet "gently caress. what a catch." after that

Was Tyreek Hill the second-most important guy on the Chiefs this morning? I say yes.

Man what a shocking trade.

Chris Jones probably?

I mean I trust Reid / Mahomes to make receivers as needed. It'll just be hard and they just might not be able to sleepwalk on defense for half the season this year.

They’ve had two full seasons where arguably their largest problem was no consistent second receiver though.

Agreed. They havent been able to develop anyone and only had Sammy Watkins as a second guy who was wildly overpaid.

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
Am I crazy for thinking that Reid-led Chiefs don't have a great track record of developing receivers? They've actually only drafted seven since Reid took over in 2013.

- 2015: Chris Conley (3rd) + Da'Ron Brown (7th)
- 2016: Demarcus Robinson (4th) + Tyreek Hill (5th)
- 2017: Jehu Chesson (4th)
- 2019: Mecole Hardman (2nd)
- 2021: Cornell Powell (5th)

Obviously, Tyreek Hill developed into a star, so that's a big point in favor. Conley has been an OK third receiver his whole career. Hardman has been moderately better than Conley but underwhelming overall. Robinson has been end-of-the-roster filler his whole career. Brown and Powell didn't make the roster. Chesson made two receptions.

I would describe this as a thoroughly unremarkable track record.

Yeah, that's a bad list, but I still strongly suspect their Offense is going to be fine, and that just means they'll have JuJu and likely will sign / trade for another vet WR and be fine instead of drafting a guy I guess

I think there's a good argument it was pass rush being the biggest problem (aside from the non-existent offensive line in the Super Bowl against the Bucs but that was due to injuries). Chris Jones is awesome, but he's one guy. A midseason addition of Melvin Ingram arguably saved last season since the defense unexpectedly won a few games in there,

Either way I agree there are holes in this roster that I don't like.

I feel like in the mix of stuff people have forgotten there are some solid WRs available still. If the chiefs sign Jarvis Landry or Ty Hilton and OBJ or Fuller or something by the end of the week and bang a first round pick on the best one available I wouldn't exactly be too worried about their pass catching stocks.

Even if they want to kick the tyres on some older guys there's Julio Jones and AJ Green still knockin' about. Tyreek Hill is an incredible weapon and a huge loss but I feel like Reek's game breaking plays covered up a lot of deficiencies and long term they'd be better off filling those deficiencies than thinking how can we replace this rare game breaker.

"Fine" sucks when you've had the supernova offense for four years

Tyreek Hill was the edge that nobody else had and I think this was a mistake.

I mean, do you think it's likely the Chiefs offense won't be, let's say top 8 in scoring? Brady's done that every year since the passing rule changes for example, and he's had some baddddd offensive casts around him.

Top 8 in scoring might not win that division though that’s the issue.

THE LIAR
The Chiefs are gonna have to figure out how to field a team that can compete for divisions and Super Bowls while also paying Mahomes that half-billion dollars at some point. I feel like the thing here is, was it better to trade Hill for the two top-50 picks now or get the last year of him and take the comp pick next year, and I dunno, I feel like both arguments have merit?

Shimrra Jamaane posted:

And the Chargers might get gashed/get too cute on 4th down in a bunch of games, Russell might be washed, and the Raiders might still be mediocre. I don't think any of those teams are like, solid locks to kick the Chiefs off the top of the mountain right now.

The video doesn't even do it justice. That's casually catching a ball with one hand in full pads 40 yards down the field. I couldn't do that with a nerf football 5 yards away.

I think Baker gets traded during the Draft or sits next year and signs somewhere for a 1 or 2 year deal to prove himself.

Just got my email from the Browns saying that they landed Pro Bowl QB Deshaun Watson and have a link for me to buy season tickets.

And then there's 5 links contained further down:
"5 things to know about WR Amari Cooper"
"5 things to know about DE Chase Winovich"
"5 things to know about Pro Bowl returner Jakeem Grant"
"5 things to know about DT Taven Bryan"
"Browns trade for QB Deshaun Watson"

:lol:

You don't want to tell me 5 things to know about Watson???
