Exactly, that's why it's hard for me to get on board with all the sky high expectations for Skyy Moore. Imo, he'll contribute, but it's not going to be earth-shattering. [Reply]

Moore will have a package of plays to start more than likely, and that will expand as the season goes on. But he's unlikely to take snaps from Juju, who is an entirely different body type, MVS, who's a blazing speed deep threat, and Hardman who has been in this system now for 3 years and will get a lot of Hill's jet sweep/screen/ specialty stuff.

Ehh. It just depends on how quickly he picks up the offense. I think the days of limiting rookies just for the sake of them being rookies is long gone. If he picks up the playbook, and plays better than Hardman, he could step right in and contribute. The way he's looked in camp, who knows. Anything is possible. [Reply]

I don't think it'll be about limiting rookies, I think it's about having 3 talented vets with varying skills in front of him, along with the most prolific TE in football. [Reply]

There's only one football. Moore is likely to be 4th on the depth chart to begin the season; Hardman is in his 3rd year in this offense, MVS and Juju already know how to be NFL players, they need only to learn the offense.
Moore needs to learn how to be an NFL player against NFL corners coming from Div II, as well as learn the offense.
It's a steeper curve.
Kelce will almost certainly lead the team in receptions, barring injury. Then Juju. Then Hardman, and Moore will probably be around the same as MVS.

...what does that have to do with what I posted? All I simply said is that I think Skyy is likely the 3rd best WR right now and I expect that to improve during the season. I never talked about Kelce or how the ball will be spread around or anything like that. It was basically a WR depth chart in paragraph form. [Reply]

That's not Moore.
He needs to hit the ground running.
Yep. Skyy is a produce now guy. He can run all the routes the Chiefs like to run. He has great hands. He is a good athlete. There is no reason to expect him to be ANYTHING but the 3rd option. [Reply]

Look, I think the guy is trash, but Exxon Valdez is going to produce more than Moore. He just is.
Going into the playoffs, Skyy Moore will be WR1, but earlier in the year the vets will get the majority of the targets. Pat will quickly trust Moore, though. As that trust builds the more Pat will look for Skyy and feed him when opposing teams adjust coverages. I see Skyy Moore catching fire around week 12 or so. [Reply]
