Yeah it sucks, but if he'd be big enough to break a bunch of tackles, then he'd have been one of the first WR off the board. If his biggest weakness is that he gets tackled quick in good with it because he can blow by guys.

just a few inches here and there, and he'd be at 1000 and like 10TDs.

I was wondering the same thing.

They need to be shamed.

So that deep out we hit to Hollywood today — the formation was a bunch trio of Worthy, Hopkins, Brown — and Kelce on the same side of the field with Gray isolated on the other side.

Yeah, that’ll play. We can work with that.

It is soon going to be far more profitable for defenses to leave Kelce open underneath.

Hello easy 7-yard gains.

Kinda wonder too if he’s gonna start really going for the YAC come playoffs. Right now seems like he’s content to just fall down after a catch pretty effortlessly.

That’s exactly what happened today. It only took a few plays on the first drive for the Texans to abandon man coverage and switch to zone. They just don’t have the horses to keep up with Hollywood and Worthy so you have no choice but to play zone.

That’s why Hopkins and Kelce were killing them in the middle of the field and Watson got wide open against their 3rd corner.

I'm OK with him not fighting for extra yardage. It has led to some costly fumbles the last few years.

A healthy Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are gonna F shit up. Get them a 3rd running mate and this dynasty not slowing down anytime soon. Really feels like Pat may very well have his WR1 and WR2 for the next 6-7 years.

I think it was lack of involvement in the offense and the comparison to Coleman that got people all in a tizzy.

But yeah, very premature. Mostly just something to be upset about since ChiefsPlanet needs SOMETHING to be upset about.

Folks would prefer Coleman?!? Why?

If the trajectory keeps holding up, I’d bring this group back.

Hollywood, Hopkins, JuJu. Feel like Hopkins you’d want to manage his snaps anyways and JuJu at this point in his career is a perfect WR4/5 who knows the offense and does the dirty work. Then I’d probably draft someone as well for long term.

Tried to avoid all the posts that pointed out his mistakes but did so in a non-panicky way. I put Sassy's "He's getting worse!" alarmism in there because it's stupid to shit one's pants over a 2-3 week snapshot in a rookie season. I also put in anything that sounded like a big ol' boo boo bitchface.

Also, take a drink every time Tardian talks about men's asses.

Drag em SNR!

Agree 100%. Pretty clear Worthy is on the same rookie year trajectory as Rice. Really starting to emerge late in their rookie years. Rashee was playing like an All Pro in year 2 prior to the injury. Id love to see Mahomes have YEARS to work with the same group of receivers. Manning with Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark type longevity. Their timing was freaking impeccable in their peak years.

But all these comments at the time were true.

No, it was typical CP overreaction to a 21 year old rookie that was thrown into the fire having some growing pains fo ****s sake. Maybe learn something from it?

You had a stroke over Worthy not getting both feet in bounds.

Not even close, assturd. He's had 2 mess ups that deserved real criticism, but really that's it.

2 dumb Worthy narratives going back to the draft process have officially been disproven:

1. He's just a gadget guy.

2. He has drop issues.

Yeah it's ****ing reeruned.

Well everyone was terrified he was going to get hurt, too.

Dude has 69 touches.

That's a pretty routine thing even for college guys.

Here's the thing - rookies either never clean that shit up, like a Moore, or Toney, or they turn into a Rice.

Worthy is doing the latter.

I think it's ok to point out when a rookie is def struggling and then when he seems to be turning the corner.

He and Rice seemed to have turned the corner at very similar times during their rookie season.

I hope that we get to see them opposte of each other for years to come.

No he had some other struggles earlier but ok pussy

Lol. A lot of people hated Hill his rookie season (aside from his past ). I remember Clay and a few others calling him another useless gadget guy. His numbers for his rookie year were okay. 61 catches for 593 yards and 6 TD. It took him a couple of years to break out. People saw that happen with Hill, yet they were digging on Worthy and not really giving him a chance. Worthy may never live up to what Hill is. Hill is elite. But Worthy currently has 51 catches for 559 yards and 5 TD. Really close to what we got from Hill as a rookie. I'm pretty excited for his future.

Some ****ing idiot kept calling him Mecole 2.0 in gameday threads. Who was that?

Tbh idk if you’re thinking of me but I compared one of his lapses as a Mecole moment or somesuch. I will accept my deserved lashes here.

15 game comp

DeSean Jackson: 77 touches, 962 scrimmage yds, 3 TDs

Tyreek Hill: 77 touches, 799 scrimmage yds, 9 TDs

Rashee Rice: 75 touches, 808 scrimmage yds, 7 TDs

Xavier Worthy: 69 touches, 653 scrimmage yds, 8 TDs

I think the kid is doing fine. He actually is getting better and I loved his presser getting tips and such from both Hopkins as well as Hollywood. This is a GREAT situation for him. He will only get better - glad we drafted him! :thumb:

It’s funny to me comparing his situation to Rashee’s, where he was getting tips from MVS, Toney and Justin Watson.

Rice/ worthy could be very aj brown/ smith.

It's a pretty routine thing for college guys... until it isn't.

**** man even the reliably awesome WRs in their primes in this league will **** up a "routine" play on occasion.

The maddening part is it's almost as if you hadn't just been exposed to horrific WR play within the past calendar year when you went unhinged. Like you didn't watch MVS drops or Skyy being totally worthless and invisible or Toney...well... everything Toney. **** man, you experienced multiple games last year where the Chiefs lost DIRECTLY because of boneheaded shit Toney did and you blow your gasket over a 21-year old rookie not quite sticking the landing on one catch?

Worthy has yet to turn any on target Mahomes throws into interceptions. He's actually scoring TDs, and made a handful of impressive plays that showed off his elite speed and downfield tracking ability. Did I mention he's a goddamn 21 year old rookie who has a ****ton of dangerous potential to light vaginas on fire in this league?

And you're shitting a brick because he didn't get his feet down.

Ass indeed.

postseason will be special

Suck a ****ing dick dude. He still actually has issues at times with situational awareness and getting his feet inbounds.

These threads where you come back and try to dig shit up just makes you look like a first class ass clown when in those times, those statements can be true.

Go suck a dick

Cool. He's 21. He'll get there. Put a plug in your vagina.

The only vagina in this thread is the one doing some copy paste on comments from half a season ago. Oh that's YOU.

You are consistently one of the most negative nancies in gameday threads.

Want me to post the proof?

Just because someone doesn't have on rose colored glasses all year doesn't make them negative.

I said all day that Pat played his best game of the season regardless of stats.

I think Worthy is turning the corner much like Rice did about this time last year.

I think it's ok not to glaze the players every week like YOU DO, and actually be objective.

Worthy still has some stuff that he has to grow into like situational awareness on the field, which at times is not great. But I think he will.

I actually love the kid and I think he's gonna be a baller. Instead of folding from his earlier struggles he's def grown as the season went on.

What's wrong with this kind of take?

"Glaze"

21 years old

He is going to be GREAT. pat needs to start hitting him on some looong balls. His sideline performance can improve more and who better than Hopkins to mentor that.

I’d start by exclusively targeting Brown or Worthy on those deep balls, shouldn’t be Watson with Btown back. Watson should be seeing at most like 5 snaps a game.

I hope they can become that great overall and the comp is a good one based solely on body types, but they are very different players.

AJ Brown is actually a great deep threat while Rice is more of a catch and run RAC monster. Devonta is definitely a more polished WR than Worthy as well.

Accidental down vote.

Yeah being mad in the moment that it might cost us a game is one thing. Thinking a guy not getting his feet in is a bad omen for his future is ridiculous. Getting open is a MUCH bigger predictor of success than his feet placement.

He's coming along very nicely. Maybe, just maaybe, run the sideline routes where there is 3-4 yds room from the sideline for the adjustment to Patrick's throw on the deep ball.

Okay c'mon.

We HAVE to keep D-Hop.

Exactly what I wanted. No better player to learn from. From the physical aspects of the game to the mental stuff. Perfect mentor.

I drool at the thought of him and Rice lining up together when both are healthy and in sync with Pat. It’s going to look like an entirely new offense with the passing game built around those two with Gray taking on a mini-Kelce role. Not to push 87 out or anything, he can play as long as he damn well pleases, but it’s great to know we have a plan in place for when he’s gone.

Everything this team does is two tiered; one move for the present while still looking towards the future. That’s why we can’t lose a goddamn game even if we try.

Hopkins deserves a ring. He’s earned this.

Get him a ring and bring him back on a sweetheart deal to end his career in KC.

With stepping in for Rice and developing our young receivers, he’ll be one of the most beloved short term Chiefs ever.

It looks like he’s really starting to catch on the way that Rice did towards the end of last season.

The best part of the Dhop being Worthy's toughest critic is Worthy is all for it. He talked about it in his post game presser yesterday. He's as humble as he is talented. A+ draft pick who is gonna be a stud for years to come.

Talking to reporters Sunday, OC Matt Nagy says he feels that WR Xavier Worthy has hit that Rashee Rice (rookie season) breakout point.

"It's crazy how similar it is, and it's exciting."

https://x.com/pgsween/status/1870889586416590967

Yeah, King mentioned that we will all probably be most happy for Kareem if we can win another Super Bowl this year, but DHop is right up there. He’s paid his dues.

Not a bad thing to have guys hungry for a ring to keep the focus. Although going for 3 is probably enough for everyone anyway.

Once you're in the postseason, I think you'll get everyone's full focus.

But the regular season probably seems like a nuisance and a drag for a lot of these guys. Sometimes you need guys with some juice and a chip on their shoulder (Hunt and Hopkins) to get you through that gauntlet.

Don't forget his route running ability. One of the best route runners in the draft. Just look at the video Clay put up Worthy runs that so ****ing good.

The defender:
https://media1.tenor.com/m/Dc5SGhusk...own-stairs.gif

Watch Andy turn that route into a pivot downfield for a huge gain.

Man coverage will be useless against this team in the postseason. USELESS.

pat has left about 800 yards on the field for worthy

i’m definitely feeling a 1000+ yard season next year tho

It makes me sick to think that we could have had Rice, Hopkins and Worthy all season if a few bad breaks go differently.

Pretty sure we wouldn't have Hopkins if Rice wasn't injured.

you could easily argue that we’re undefeated and look far more dominant in our wins if we have brown and rice all season, even considering that we wouldnt have hopkins probably

Honestly, I think its to the Chiefs advantage that they have to battle through all this every year. The get into form right before the playoffs and our opponents don't have a ton of film on our offense as we get into the playoffs.

Meant to say Hollywood*, Rice and Worthy. Working and CP'ing. Shame on me. o:-)

Winning the ways they have this season translate more to the playoffs than anything. You don't get to play tin cans in the playoffs. The Chiefs are thoroughly tested at this point.

There's a definite advantage to being comfortable in uncomfortable situations....aka close games.

Smart kid

Veach can’t draft WRs

/Chiefsplanet.

Then drafts Rice and Worthy in back to back years. He’s a balla!

I'm not saying Pat should keep an eye on 1, but Pat might at least consider keeping an eye on 1.

He’s going to be Mahomes’s TY Hilton, isn’t he?

Holy shit that's a route! And on Stingley too!

What a wonderful world we live in when Deberg is back and he's taken on the role of trolling the trolls.

Those routes are what a lot of us saw in college and why the “track guy” takes were always dumb as ****.

He’s going to be more Devonta Smith than he is John Ross.
