Just hope Beach and Reid have a good plan to replace him!
Rice is already doing Kelce things in year 2. I think he's the guy. [Reply]
I don't understand why people are freaking out about this. Just to have a talking point or something? This is prob Kelce's last or second to last season. These early season games don't matter. We know we will be in the playoffs. They are just limiting how much they force balls his way so they can keep his body healthy and ready for the post season. They are instead focusing on continuing to develop Rashee Rice so that when Kelce does retire, Mahomes will have that same type of trust and connection with Rice that he did/does with Kelce. This is Veach and Reid playing chess, a couple years ahead, not checkers. Calm down [Reply]

This.
Kelce has been doing this so long it's basically a preseason game for him. [Reply]
Lol. He was getting open and setting people free.
He will be fine. Patrick has new weapons. As soon as they double rice he is back to receptions. Though I doubt he hits a 1000 again unless he goes off a couple games. [Reply]
