One of the best WR prospects at the catch point and winning leverage mid-route. He consistently sets up defenders to put them on his back, locates the ball, and attacks it at the highest point.
Rashee Rice was drafted with pick 55 of round 2 in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 9.53 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 145 out of 3062 WR from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/lwD9tvVPvvpic.twitter.com/YjucxErSE1

But it's always nice when the early pick whom you'd hope would stand out does just that because we're gonna need his production.
We might. We might not.
If Toney is healthy, MVS finds more chemistry with Pat, Moore takes a step forward and James just stays who he is, that's a solid 4-deep WR corps and combined with Kelce can support a 5k yard season.

Time will tell...
I don't believe in a world where things go that smoothly and I'm super excited to give Mahomes a guy with Rice's skillset to play with.

MVS is MVS he never developed any chemistry with Rodgers either, he just is who he is. [Reply]

Wut? He developed some pretty damn fast during the AFC Championship when we really needed a WR to step up and Mahomes pointed right at him for facilitating one of the downfield bombs that ended up being key. [Reply]

He's extremely inconsistent though...like you'll throw that out and then he cost us a big play in the SB by turning the wrong way on a pass. [Reply]

That right there is why Rodgers never did develop a rapport with him. Because he'll hold one mistake over his head in perpetuity. Mahomes is the opposite, and let's not single out MVS as the only guy. Guys like Hardman and Hill fucked up plenty of times, and Mahomes/Reid make it a point to get their confidence back up, not abandon them at the first sign of trouble. [Reply]

That's MVS' career stats both at GB and with KC. Receptions/game (2.1/2.5), yards/game (36.5/40.4), yards/tgt (8.7yds/8.5yds) and catch rate (49.8%/51.9%) are all pretty much the same.
MVS is what he is. he might have a little bump statistically this season because Andy is Andy and Mahomes is Mahomes, but MVS wasn't held back by Rodgers.
The only metric that probably will show a significant bump is going to be 1st downs (20.5/32), but that's more of an Andy's offensive scheme vs. LaFleur's than anything else.
At the end of the day, MVS is going to catch about half the balls thrown at him, for about 40 yds/game, for an average of about 16+yds/cth. [Reply]

I'm genuinely curious as to why you are such an ardent defender of Aaron Rodgers. Every issue that has been brought up regarding him you seem to believe him to be faultless in any of it. It's kind of odd that all this negativity surrounds him if none of it is generated by him don't you think? [Reply]

100%, and some people in here don’t give him the credit he deserves for that. We wouldn’t have made it to the SB without MVS playing his ass off vs the Bengals. [Reply]
