Any idea why it's not translating in NFL?
I remember this board was ecstatic when we picked him.
I disliked the pick very much, but Staylor and Meck convinced me he fit the offense perfectly.
In college he played against kids who just were not talented enough to play Power 5 D1 football. Like, KU had better players than Skyy was playing against.
For me, nothing made him special in college, or the combine, or any single game he has played for the Chiefs.
Skyy Moore has literally never done a single thing on the football field, in college or the NFL, that made me think he belongs in the NFL.
It was very frustrating when people kept telling me he was good, because I didn't understand how they couldn't see with their own eyes that he clearly wasn't good. Mahomes doesn't trust him, no matter what Mahomes says, and I don't blame him. [Reply]

Watching the Dante Hall tribute they posted on YouTube, I was thinking that if RG wants a damn team over there so badly, why not try NFL Europe again.
It produced guys like Kurt Warner and Dante Hall. Europeans are much more familiar with the NFL and it's players, and rules, etc. now, and it would be much easier to market in the age of social media. [Reply]

Who runs a west coast based timing offense?
Certainly not Andy Reid and the Chiefs.
The slant is a staple of the WC offense. Reid calls one slant every 3 games.
What part of watching Mahomes bounce around the pocket, holding the ball, makes you think west coast timing based offense?
Reid has abandoned those Bill Walsh concepts, and runs more of a vertical passing offense with a lot of intermediate and deep routes that take time to develop. Mahomes isn't going three step drop, or five step drop, and boom, releasing the ball to a timing route. [Reply]

Stick to your own opinions and ALWAYS believe your own eyes, over what someone tells you. [Reply]
I still think that was interference but he has to fight off that hand checking. Skyy has spaghetti noodles for arms get in the weight room :-)
I'm not convinced he catches this even with no defender contact. The ball came in over his right shoulder at a really awkward angle. He's so bad at tracking. You can adjust your route while the ball is in the air Skyy. It's allowed. [Reply]

Reid is just trying to stick up for his guy. This is one of the reasons players love him. Reid always tries to put the blame somewhere else (at least publicly) when it comes to his players. It's effective but sometimes I think Reid takes this tactic a bit overboard.
That drop is on Skyy Moore and no one else. Not the refs they call enough pass interference calls and WRs have enough rules in their favor as it is. Moore needs to take responsibility and get better or get the **** off the field.
Robinson and Pringle make this dude look like trash and that's disturbing to think about. [Reply]
That Reid feels the need to stick up for Moore could say a lot about Moore's lack of confidence. I'd lack confidence too if I sucked at my job. [Reply]

Right. I've always believed that confidence is like trust, you have to earn it and it shouldn't be just given. You can fake confidence but real confidence comes from accomplishments and he hasn't done shit so far in his career.
Well I shouldn't have said that he hasn't done anything. He had that nice punt return in the playoffs against the Bengals and caught that wide open pass in the SB but that's about it. That's not going to boost any players confidence in any significant way. [Reply]

Agree but he needs to overcome that corner pulling at his arm. Almost every corner uses this technique and hopes to get away with it as a last resort. Have got to get your hands up and try to catch or sell to the official that you were interfered with. Skyy has pencil thin arms. He needs to bulk up in the weight room like Reek and fight through that bs. [Reply]
