Nobody cares what those people think. If Beach thinks he makes the roster better, I imagine we'll keep him, Chief Fan be damned.

That injury he had against the Saints his rookie season permanently fucked him, methinks.

Yep, I said the same thing earlier this season.

He just doesn’t have the body to regularly engage punishment like he does in the NFL. I believe he took injuries every season from contact he engaged. He never seemed to recover the burst he had before his injury against the Saints. It was there, watch his rookie debut against the Texans to see it.

It felt like he couldn’t reliably beat NFL linebackers to the hole after that first injury.

Agreed. He just hasn't been in the same since.

Problem 1: Brokedick
Problem 2: Lack of NFL vision
Problem 3: Didn't develop as a receiver

If he can't get past problem #1, he'll never get better at 2 and 3. And that's what we have. He's not quite 24 yet, so he could still go on to have some quality years but they won't be with KC.

They picked Rojo over him in the SB when he has been healthy and practicing for a month. I can't see him coming back and hope he doesn't.

Because he usually danced instead of full speed when getting the ball.

Pacheco showed what it looks like.

He's still on his rookie contract which is bankable valuable but he didn't even come to the parade and went to a fashion show instead. You have to think the Chiefs communicated to him He's not going to be here next year

Can we light him up now? He skipped it to walk in a fashion show.
