I was PISSED when they passed on him. Had to smoke a bowl before i posted on CP.
Felt like it was a mistake.
Whatever.
I'm trying to get over it.
Nor am i going to hold anything against Moore over it.
But gaaah it stings. Like when the Chiefs kept passing on DK.
It just seemed so goddamn obvious....
Completely different situation IMO.
This is more like if we passed on DK for McLaurin.
I don't think we'd hear as much bitching about passing on DK if we did that. [Reply]

And what I was trying to say is that I am overly critical of Skyy because of the DK/Hardman situation and he's succeeding despite my overly critical-ness. I'm not pigeon-holing this situation I understand it is different.
If it wasn't though it would be a nightmare. [Reply]

Just going to throw this out there:
Team A Player: 75 receptions, 967 yards, with ONE teammate ahead of him with 73 receptions and 1175 yards.
Team B Player: 59 receptions, 693 yards, with TWO teammates ahead of him with 111 receptions, 1239 yards and 92 receptions, 1125 yards respectively.
Team A player is probably better, but by how much? [Reply]
If people would stop fucking crying about DK and Pickens, that would be grand. We get it, you would have drafted these guys. You evaluate talent watching YouTube better than the Chiefs do with all of their vast resources. You were right, they were wrong.
There's a lot of hype for Pickens and was the guy most people here wanted. But we are seeing too much good shit from Mr Moore to give a shit about it. [Reply]

Or imagine if some use the Hardman/DK situation and this time Moore is the DK and Pickens is the Hardman. [Reply]

We’ve got Mahomes. I actually kinda prefer a team of choir boys provided they can still ball.
I didn’t know much about Pickens’ shitty fucking attitude until the draft process rolled around. And yeah, the dude might ball the fuck out in this league for many years to come, and that’s cool and all, but if Skyy is the kind of player I think he can be, I’d rather have him and his positive strong leadership.
I want him to be buds with Mahomes like Kelce. I want another QB/receiver bromance. Not a, “Look Pat, you just have to tune him out and get him the ball and nobody gets hurt” kind of deal.
Apparently it was juuuust starting to get that way with Tyreek. And I’ll bet Pickens will shit on his QBs too one day [Reply]
The story on Pickens isn’t the physical talent. Never was. The hesitancy with teams drafting him is injury and attitude. Either of those aspects of him could create large gaps in production where Skyy Moore is as clean as they come in those aspects.
So even while Skyy might not have the true upside Pickens has (and I don’t think he does) it was adding an explosive playmaker that firsts the scheme and won’t make you regret the pick.
Whoever mentioned that we haven’t drafted a player with attitude issues since peters hit it on the head. [Reply]
