Well....i'd argue that they weren't that well reasoned to begin with...but not trying to beat a dead horse here.

After 4 games, i think they're kinda...well, who they've demonstrated they've always been. Though i had hoped Moore could at least get open in small windows. Even as a career "Moore hater", i didn't think he'd get bullied by physical DB's as much as he has. But even in my optimism for Moore i was always 50/50 on that ever panning out.
And in saying that, i still think it's way too early to just jump ship and start asking to trade for Mecole Hardman etc.
This is the group that we decided on for better or worse. Well, now you gotta at least give them enough rope to hang themselves with and see this all the way through.
In reality, it's not all that different from last season. We had this problem last year too. Hence all the 3TE sets etc.
I guess the bigger surprise to me is that Rice hasn't earned a larger role yet. [Reply]

He didn't drop it. The defender made a great rip on the ball to knock it out of his hands.
I was promised some shit about Justyn Ross and i'm patiently waiting for the 2nd half of the season to see if those checks are gonna get cashed.
But i'm a big believer in young, talented guys flashing early and often if they are in fact young talented guys.
It took ONE game for Toney to jump off the screen.
TRULY gifted players typically show it right away. If a player doesn't, it doesn't mean they won't turn into good players down the road, but we can probably scratch them off the "Super star potential" list.

Never got too far in front of my ski's on Moore, but I definitely expected more than this after his productive SB showing... it looked like he was getting it at just the right time
But we disagree on Hardman, I'd take that guy back with loving arms right about now... Mahomes is somewhat kneecapped without that kind of speed at his disposal
For all of his faults, Hardman was twice the player Moore is... at least to this point [Reply]

that's what I was wondering, a lot of CB's play one side. Some line up against their best WR no matter what. I didn't know with the Jets and Sauce. [Reply]

Hey, i loved me some Hardman. I was a Hardman defender from day 1, despite after 2 seasons realizing that he's never gonna be "Him". But that didn't mean Hardman didn't have value.
But the Chiefs have moved on. It's time to just let these current guys sink or swim. [Reply]
T minus how many games until Ross leapfrogs his snaps 2022 Pacheco style?
A lot of people brought up the CEH comparisons. While that's a concern, if his role is reduced to a less effective Micole gadget player that's vastly preferable to the 0 catch 0 yard statlines we're seeing in uh, nearly half of his games so far. [Reply]

0 catches, zero yards on 59% of the snaps....that can't continue. [Reply]

Not at all. He's only been on the field more because Toney is hurt and playing very little and Richie James is hurt and not playing. I'd much rather Rice be out there playing, but his recent up tick in usage is due to our #1 WR being injured all the time and our #4 guy being injured the last couple of weeks. Rice is behind Toney, Moore, MVS, James, and Watson. Moore, MVS, and Watson are all healthy and got more snaps than Rice on Sunday.
Once Toney maybe, hopefully gets healthy (doubtful) and James gets back to being healthy, then Rice will likely see more like 15%-25% of snaps. I hope it's not the case, because I think it's pretty clear that right now he's our best WR. He'll have some frustrating drops, but he will probably make up for it.
Hell Rice is our best WR when it comes to getting a 1st down.
Rice - 8
Watson - 5
Moore - 5
Toney - 4
MVS - 4
James - 0
Ross - 0
This is also such a bullshit response. What's the point of even being here discussing anything if that's your response? If whatever they do is correct and not worth discussing.....what's our purpose here? [Reply]
