CEH is a better receiver but they have similar vision, running styles and contact balance. Faulk is also a good comparison, style wise.

By the quarter season mark, there will be discussions about what teams have a chance at beating us and who will give CEH a run for the OROTY trophy...maybe even ROTY.

If we end up with another Faulk, or even close to it- the offense will be nearly impossible to stop. Yes, the Rams had the Greatest show through the air, but it was their running game with Faulk that really gutted defenses. If CEH is what we hope he is, we could see the Chiefs having that same kind of offense that completely demoralizes a defense.

Pretty sure our offense already does that, but I get your point.

Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Sweetness, Emmitt Smith, LaDanian Tomlinson. That's what i see.

Should work out just dandy.

I mean, let’s not forget what Pat looked like (as a first year starter!!!) when defenses had to account for Kareem.

Now, Pat has more experience, a ring, all his weapons back, and a RB with better hands and more wiggle.

CEH is going to make our great offense one of the best ever.

This is the exact moment I found out that Clyde Edwards-Helaire was going to the #ChiefsKingdom on last night's live stream.

Still my favorite thing ever.

On a slightly-related note, check out last year's regular season game against the Ravens to see how CEH might be used. Pat didn't hesitate to sling it out to Daryl Williams or McCoy (prior to injury) for nice gains.

This kid is going to have a BIG year!

Yup.

At this point, the ONLY thing stopping the Chiefs this year is COVID-19.

If they can ward it off and stay relatively healthy, they’re repeating.

just went to 4-1 to win ORY

In 2018, when Hunt was the primary back until about week 11(?), the Chiefs averaged 37pts/gm (36.9). Good enough for 1st in scoring in the NFL. After we lost Hunt, the Chiefs scoring average went down to 32.2 pts/gm.

In 2019 w/ Damien, the team averaged 28.1 points/game, good enough for just 6th in the league in scoring.

So, respectfully, I have to disagree. The team's offensive efficiency and production would be stratospheric if CEH works out at least as well as Hunt did.
