Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.

That wasn't a national thing either! I'm just a homer.
Does anybody remember Brett Kollman shitting his pants when the Chiefs drafted CEH? That guys knows nothing about football! What an idiot!
I'll absolutely own being wrong on CEH, but I was far from the only one. Even most who didn't like the pick only didn't like taking a RB in the 1st. Most people thought we were at least getting a good RB.
Meanwhile, it's impossible to go back and bump KChiefs1s old takes, because he doesn't have any. CPs most worthless poster ever.
Get a ****ing life dude.
I own up to it, too. I thought CEH would be Emmitt Smith.
I remember when KC was on the clock and I was jumping with excitement...I was thinking Swift or Taylor for sure and then it was Ceh and I was a little confused and a little disappointed but hey we back our chiefs right? It's just painful to see how Taylor and Swift turned out. [Reply]

CEH got a lot of hype, even nationally, after being drafted by the Chiefs.
For the record, he wasn't even my first choice at RB.
I had Swift, Taylor, and Dobbins ahead of him.
However, I did say before the draft that he was the best fit in terms of what the Chiefs/Andy look for.
It's just odd because he's never been the weapon in the passing game that most expected.
I can't believe I'm defending Clyde because he's been rank. BUT, I do think it's baffling how they've used him. Completely wasted as a receiver and forced into outside zone stuff he doesn't have the wheels for. He's been bad but he's also been misused - we've not seen him used the way we expected. [Reply]

That's absolutely fair.
I will say, that if the Chiefs took Swift, the injuries would obviously be frustrating, but I think he'd be absolutely insane when healthy.
That dude is so explosive, our offense would be unstoppable when he's actually on the field. [Reply]

Swift is a stud, but he's getting dangerously close to brokedick territory. Dudes has an even harder time (significantly) staying healthy than CEH. [Reply]

I still think he is in love with Hardman. Must give a helluva reach around.

WTF has Swift done? He's statistically worse than CEH.
And the concern with Taylor was always his college workload/wear and tear.
The Colts are now running him into the ground and his production has begun dropping off and his injuries are starting to pile up.
At the time, CEH looked like the perfect match for the Chiefs offense. Ya'll act like Veach, Mahomes and many in the national media didn't see the same damn things Staylor and I did.
CEH hasn't been the star game breaker we had hoped, but he's far from the "bust" chiefs fans want to label him as. [Reply]

The loss was taking any RB period. Tee Higgins or Pittman Jr and this offense is humming. And that’s not even a hindsight is 20/20 suggestion, both would have been obvious picks over a god damned runningback in an Andy Reid off win the 1st. [Reply]
