Chiefs Was Demarcus Robinson better than I remember? Or was it all PM? - Page 2

You could make a highlight reel of D Rob plays and convince someone that he’s an All Pro receiver.

You could also make a lowlight reel of D Rob plays and convince someone that he’s one of the worst players ever.

I'm glad he was here.

I'm also glad he's no longer here.

Pretty good as a 3/4 WR I reckon but after winning the Super Bowl without him I can't really say we should've resigned him.

DRob only started in 4 games last season, played in 6-7, I think. Including the playoffs, he caught 29 (targeted 45 times) passes for 415 yards, 23 1st downs, and 4 TDs. And never rose above the 4th receiver.

Basically he was better than every WR for the Chiefs except Rice. He was a better route runner, better at creating separation, better ball tracker, better catcher, better in scramble drills. And he did almost all of that on his own; no manufactured touches like Toney and Skyy. Which is amazing considering that he really was just a very JAG NFL WR for his entire career.

Love watching some of those catches of his in those highlights reels though. He made some really nice ones when he was here.

I thought he was about to take a massive step towards becoming a legit Number 2 receiver after the 28 point 2nd quarter and that game against the Ravens the next week in 2019.

He was great in those two games.

D Rob sucked. Like bad. And he was waaaay better than Skyy and Toney.

Let that sink in.

Outside of the postseason, they are still in my top 10 Mahomes throws.

He always seemed to be open during the scramble drill, which had a ton of value. I had that "why did we cut him?" question pop in my head a few times this last year, turns out he really wasn't that great.

Well yea, he seemed to be able to get open on scramble drills and had Mahomes' trust and didn't have a particular problem catching the ball.

Seemed like he occasionally had a problem with running forward after catching the ball, but I guess nobody's perfect.

His game against the Raiders was the most memorable for me.

Can't think of much else he did when he wasn't running backwards after catch.

He caught Patrick's first game pass ever if I remember right, and he caught Patrick's 50 TD/5,000 yard pass, so I have fond memories of him. And he'll give us "running backwards" jokes for the rest of our lives, so we'll always remember him.

And even on that 50th td catch he finished by running backwards into the endzone.

I think he was Justin Watson ish?

Better than Skyy right now, but he had zero touches his first year in the league, just played special teams.. so Skyy could still become him?

The diva metric is going to have to join WR stats. Somehow being a diva is like big tits to NFL fans. DR seemed grounded

All this does is get me more excited for Worthy

He was never as bad as people said, which last year proved. Hell, I would have killed to have any version of him last season. He showed he could play with the Rams as well. He’s a very solid player and always has been. He was never going to be more than a 4th option at best, but last I checked you need those guys in this league, too.
