The Colts have much less competition at WR than the Chiefs, hence why he's had more opportunities.
I don’t get it at all. He’s a rookie and he’s already acting like a drama queen almost every week. And not in a cocky swagger kind of way. As in trying to upstage his qb and coaches.

No thank you.
There's a reason he fell to the midle of the 2nd, but there's also a reason people like me and Detoxing were drooling over him.
I was a definitely disappointed when he was on the board and they traded back, but I like Skyy, and I'm willing to accept the possibility that they felt he wasn't a culture fit or a risk they were willing to take that early. [Reply]

It's a personality type, and you often see it in some of the most premiere WR's in the league.
It's part of what makes him great. You take the bad with the good. That fire, that drive....it's what leads to such spectacular catches and ferocious blocks. The dude is all out, max effort.
Yeah, im a fan a of WR's, DB's and LB's that got a little bit of crazy in them. [Reply]

If it were just one, it wouldn't mean much, but when all of these former NFL WRs in the media love what they see in him, it's telling.
It’s very easy to see why. Minus the punt return issue (which never should have occurred) you can see the pure talent in his route running, and he snatches the ball out of the air with his hands without breaking stride.

I get that WRs are built to be cocky. But he strikes me as a worse version of Keyshawn. He played hard too. But he was a menace in the locker room to the point where coaches and QBs became self conscious about making sure he got touches.
I also don’t think it’s a great sign when the Steelers took him given that they can’t stay away from receivers with absurd talent but terrible character. Happy to have a guy with tyreek swagger. I don’t want a guy who throws sideline tantrums when things don’t go his way. We have a team that is very unselfish about wr touches and have one of the best comeback teams in history, and that’s due in large part to our attitude when things don’t bounce our way. [Reply]
I was beating the drum for a true X receiver. But the more i sat with that, the more I understand why we prioritized skyy Moore. Our two biggest priorities are beating man coverage (despite skyys size he’s incredibly capable) and beating drop 8. In both cases skyy has the quick twitch you really like that I don’t think our other receivers have other than Toney. We have accelerators but skyy seems way more dangerous manufacturing YAC without a ton of space, but also well equipped to run the whole route tree. [Reply]

Say what now? How can you say they prioritized him when they traded behind 3 WR needy teams, and took who was left? Based on how they handled the draft, there is absolutely no evidence they prioritized Moore over any other receiver - they'd have taken him at 50, if that was the case. [Reply]

Well, I think their original play was to see what would fall to them and trade up aggressively if they needed to. Once they realized that would be a ludicrous haul it wouldn’t surprise me if they had their sights on skyy but expected him to be there. I think we needed him more than others. We’re going to see drop 8 a hell of a lot more than other teams. [Reply]

This 100%. I do not get the d*** sucking of that guy at all. There will be better guys in that draft than Moore but I don't think he's one of them. [Reply]
