It looked to me like if he reaches out and catches that ball with his hands, instead of waiting for it to come into his body, he would have had the room to make the catch and probably score!

A very disappointing outing for Mr. Worthy. I have to admit, like some others that I started to think about Hardman during this game. Yikes

I dont think anyone is saying he IS Hardman but the comparison at this point is there.

Patrick does NOT trust him at all yet. Seems like he gets a shot every game but somehow it doesnt work, then Patrick looks elsewhere the rest of the game.

Like Hardman, he gets a shot, messes it up then they give him the reverse (trick) play. He messed that up too.

Of course No ONE is giving up on the Rook but so far there isnt much to feel like hes going to contribute much this year. He does scare defenses and clear out some zones which is helpful. However I have seen many plays where he himself is breaking open and Patrick wont throw it.

When you look at that list of Rookie WRs and what they have been able to contribute to their teams so far it stings a little bit. Especially with how bad we need him to step up.

No doubt Hopkins will teach him how to be a pro which is fantastic. I feel like he will figure it out as the season goes on.

Also feel like he will be this years "Corn Dog" and catch the SuperBowl winning reception!

This is absolutely not true. Rashee was ascending at a damn near linear pace the whole season. By the time mid season rolled around he was absolutely finding soft spots in the zone and by seasons end was playing like a vet and was absolutely clutch in the playoffs.

Worthy had 0 catches for 0 yards last night and had a walk in touchdown that he absolutely just shit the bed on. The fact that it IS mental is EVEN WORSE.

The sideline route he didn't even get a single foot in bounds! That's atrocious FOR COLLEGE.

Yes I hope he gets it together but IT AINT LOOKING GOOD. So far dude has BEEN ASS.

I'm a bit worried about Worthy, too, I was expecting his name to be coming up more in games, especially with Brown/Rice out, hopefully he can learn some things from a very established vet receiver in DHOP, and even Juju

I think another issue here is, and again there aren't any excuses, but the Chiefs get the best shot from every team they play, we are everyone's Superbowl, the defenses are much more stingy, not great for a rookie to spread their wings. Also, what doesn't help matters is how much drama the WR position has had with the Chiefs the last few seasons.

Can’t believe you people watched Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore and MVS drop passes non-stop and think a mental error of getting your feet down in bounds while catching the ball is somehow worse :-)

These are fixable problems. Having horrific hands like those 3 other guys isn’t fixable
[Reply]

Maybe he rides to work with Rice. Or should
[Reply]

We didn't draft any of those guys in the first round, and again, that play would be ASS for college.

The NFL is separated by the mental game. I never said it wasn't fixable so that's a strawman. I'm saying, so far, he's not looking great. No one can say that he is because last night was ASSSSS. Straight dirty stank ass.

He's only getting a pass by some due to his draft status. So far, he's been super super mid.

I think Worthy will be fine.

- Rookie mistake with the footwork last night, but let's not lose sight of the fact that he knew where to go (within 6 inches), and was wide ass open.

- I hate reverse/stretch plays to the short side of the field. Even more so when you consider that Worthy will go down on first contact because of his frame, so unless he has space to move and it's blocked perfectly, it's probably not a great play call for him.

- There's clips each week of him being wide ass open downfield.

He'll be fine. The long ball to him at the sideline COULD have been placed a little better, as he had at least 5 yds between the sideline and the defender. As DJN said earlier, he was wide open for quite a while but PM was late with the throw. But yes, he screwed up the catch. Should've been TD or just short.
[Reply]

I'll bet he and PM have it down good by the playoffs, no different than MVS did in his time here. He's 21, he's a rook, it's still not even half through the year. I don't think the staff has quite figured out yet how to use him in the 1-15 yard range.

Just hope people can recognize by now that he is NOT ever going to be a prototypical high volume #1 WR. He is a useful complement in a system like what KC has, with a QB who can throw it 65+ air yards.

Having a volume #1 like Hopkins and/or Kelce will allow him to thrive in his explosive role, just wait and see...
