We need to keep doing this a few more games to get mahomes in rhythm. I still think he’s exorcising some demons especially in terms of being aggressive. But at some point we may need to dial things back for the main stretch. Our usage of kelce and dhop and Kareem are a little concerning. I’d still like to see some guys take away some of the workload. I’m hoping juju can help although I’m wondering how he’ll play off of dhop, since we couldn’t really get him to play off of rashee. [Reply]
I laughed out loud when I saw the replay; DHop actually waited for Hayes to breakdown and launch himself before spinning away. Playing with his food. [Reply]
Hate to say it because I love R. Rice. Hated seeing him get hurt. But you could argue Hopkins might be an upgrade and actually more valuable especially 4-6 weeks from now when he has a grasp of the entire offense. [Reply]

They're just different. Hopkins is obviously more experienced and polished. Rice is young/inexperienced, but probably significantly faster/quicker, and more physical after the catch. I try not to think about it much, but my fervent hope is that somehow Veach gets Hopkins to return next season, and Rice can then learn how to be a more complete WR. The dividends that'll pay after DHop retires/leaves the team will be . . . something to see. [Reply]

DHop’s biggest advantage is that he catches everything. I believe that there was a season when he was with Houston where he didn’t drop a pass. That’s insane when you think about it. That pass he caught in triple coverage was unbelievable. That’s one trait he does possess over Rashee, although I still think Rice is a stud WR. [Reply]

He has facehuggers for hands
By the way, this is DeAndre Hopkins's hand. The other hand is mine. I am not a tiny human. pic.twitter.com/ekpfoKXE15
Rice was probably going to have one of those 100+ catches and 1400+ yard and 10+ TD seasons. A legendary, going to get paid afterwards, type of season.
I hope he can come back next season as the same player, that injury is really rough. And if we can give DHOP a 2 year deal or something it would be amazing. [Reply]

As weird as it may be to say, if dhop stays healthy then I don’t miss rice as much. Because I don’t think we get dhop if rice is healthy. And it’s not because rice is that much of a worse player. I just think dhop is the wr mahomes needed to get him out of his funk.
If we had rashee with Hollywood… look out. But I think mahomes had a tendency to tunnel vision to rashee and made mahomes too comfortable with those low ADOTs where rashee makes all the moves after the catch. I also think jujus role overlaps a bit with rashee. Next year on the other hand when either worthy matures (hopefully) and ideally we have another downfield target We can really get the most out of a rashee offense [Reply]
