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.
How is it possible that you're this ****ing stupid?
Taylor played in far inferior competition, and was a bell-cow 30 carry a game guy for like 4 years. He's got a faster 40 time. He's bigger.
Helaire played like 2 1/2 years against the most elite competition in college football in a balanced offense that saw his QB go #1 overall and two WR's go in the first round.
He fits our system perfectly, and yes, is a polished receiver not only out of the backfield, but the slot. He has experience running a full route tree. He's got elite lateral agility.
He's "better than Brian Westbrook" according to Andy ****ing Reid who coached Brian Westbrook.
But somehow, you are smarter than Andy Reid, and smarter than Bret Veach because Taylor is bigger and ran a tenth of a second faster in the 40 yard dash in shorts, and while Helaire was less than 100%.
How do you possibly not understand that sometimes a player's specific skillset is a great fit, and sometimes it's not?
Derrick Henry is bigger, too. Guess what? He'd be a shitty fit for the Chiefs offense.

Why are running backs drafted so low? Why do they tend to get smaller contracts? Why do they tend to burn out at such an earlier age? It’s because of the wear and tear they put on their bodies. Taylor already has a ton of miles on him and since he’s not much of receiving threat I fully expect him to be a RB that gets abused in his first contract and wear down and not get much of a second contract. CEH on the other hand has fewer miles on him and will not be the focal point of the offense meaning he should last longer. [Reply]

How about we do this, let's watch what happens before getting carried away with this, ok? [Reply]

Who cares how long he lasts? Just draft another RB they are a dime a dozen, ya get 4/5 good seasons out of a RB, cool! This is why you don't use a FIRST ROUND pick on a RB. [Reply]

Using his math Jerry Rice was a horrible pick. [Reply]

The intent was to refute your argument about who would have the better career. [Reply]
Guys, let's all just ignore Ubeja. He's returning to his highest level of trolling, and it's just not worth engaging.
Let's celebrate that we somehow recognize the insanity of the Kansas City Chiefs drafting last because we won the Super Bowl on the strength of our prodigious offense and yet we still saw an epic talent at a position that the most casual of football fans knows is overrated and still took CEH with the pick and that - most importantly - we're the most miserable group of people on the planet at CP and yet we're excited and ecstatic about said pick.

That's all that we need to know.
I don't troll guy, little kids play that shit, ok?
So debating picking CEH with your first pick is a no no, just nod your head agree and follow the flock
