Agreed with you till the last sentence. Nothing like Hardman. There is no one on the roster comparable to Skyy and the last, most recent one would be Wilson.

If we are narrowing the search for comp to Chiefs only players, I’m not sure there’s been one. Wilson may be the closest.

Overall, it’s Edelman/Welker.

I don't recall them saying he didn't fit. They did say he was over drafted. They did say he had not lived up to expectations thus far for a 2nd round pick. No one even said he didn't have a good game. I think they're just saying that him getting 65 yards doesn't mean he wasn't disappointing prior to that game. Honestly, I think we can all agree that this game wasn't anything "extra" he kind of should have done this weeks ago. But if he's turned the corner and this is repeatable and reproduceable that's fantastic.

Sure, the Edleman/Welker comp is the golden standard for smaller, shifty slot receivers. And that's what we all hope for.

But he could also just be an Elijah Moore. His skillset really isn't all that unique. It's not like we've never seen this kind of player before.

He has a tall hill to climb to be a Edleman/Welker. He could easily end up being an Elijah Moore or Andy Isabella. Luckily he has Reid and Mahomes to help.

The only "I told you so" people are doing is "I told you he will eventually get an opportunity this season, and when he does he'll be that guy that many of us seen on tape and the preseason/TC."

Also, like I said, it's just lazy box score to focus on "65 yard game". Look at those tweets from Matt Lane breaking it all down. It far more impressive than the box score, and they left quite a bit of meat on the bone.

If the protection is better on those 2 deep routes, he probably gets over 100.

What you don't seem to understand is that I'm fully aware that this was just 1 game. I'm not any more/less confident than I was before about him. I've had zero doubt that he will be a really good player for us from day 1. This game really didn't change anything for me, except for finally not having to hear all the negative bullshit about him.

Meant Skyy is more of the same stature, and to a certain extent, what Andy would like to use him for in the offense. Probably not jet sweeps, for example, but some of the slot stuff certainly. Skyy is shiftier than Hardman, and he's starting off as a much better route runner, but Mecole has a big edge in just pure speed.

Wilson as a comp is fine, for me anyway. I think Skyy probably is better in some areas, but right now who cares?
[Reply]

There's always more meat on the bones, fellas.

Every WR gets missed when he's open. Every QB has drops.

It's a silly analysis that really doesn't mean much.
[Reply]

He’s flashed potential all year. His first catch in Arizona went for 30 yards. Had 2 in Tampa for a total of 31 yards (15.5 avg). Had one against Buffalo for 24 yards.

He fucked up a route 1 time in SF and people really piled on him due to Toub stupidly putting him as the returner, which again he never did in college.

If anything this game has the hope that he has gained trust from Patrick.

He should get more snaps if he keeps playing like this. He was a problem for the Chargers and has the capability to be that for opponents moving forward.

Its absolutely not, Wilson had some clutch plays in games like sunday too

You seem to think saying thats some slam, its actually anything but... if Skyy can give us prime Wilson as a rookie, sign me up
[Reply]

Skyy Moore gets open with ease and catches with his giant hands.


There you go, two things Albert Wilson doesn't have.
[Reply]

:-) I knew that would strike a chord with you.

You are def a bit of a front runner but I don't care much about this Skyy debate either way. It's so early in his career, neither side has much of an argument.

This last game didn't move the meter much either. Anyone beating their chest over a receiver going for 60 yards when we were out our top #1, #3 and #4 WRs with Patrick Mahomes in the midst of an MVP season throwing to him is a little too juiced up, just the same as a guy saying he's a bust 9 games into his career.
[Reply]

Isabella?? That dude had 189 yards his rookie year, 88 of which on 1 grab.

Skyy has 169 already.

He doesn’t seem likely to bust, especially after his confidence game.
[Reply]

Exactly. He’s a rookie with a bunch of veterans in front of him. He doesn’t have an elite skill like Reek that forced Andy to get him on the field. Doesn’t mean he won’t be a great player for us as he grows in the offense.
[Reply]

If Skyy ends up having Albert Wilson’s chemistry with Mahomes and Skyy has better hands than Wilson, it’s a huge win for the Chiefs. Good chemistry with QB and good hands? Yes please!
