Yes, this is the bread and butter on offense. Not the WRs, and it never will be while Smith is the QB.

We are back to having a bottom 10 WR corps. We have one guy and some what ifs.

Sure. But there's what's possible and what's likely.

It's possible that Robinson won the spot over Maclin outright in OTAs.


But if we're looking for a player to improve on Maclin's numbers from last year, I don't see a receiver on the current roster that is more likely to do it than Maclin. It's an unfortunate necessity given the cap situation, but that doesn't magically make the current wr corps better than what it is.

I'll continue to root for maclin when he's not playing us because he was a great teammate and helped out the rookies immensely, unfortunately it was the body and mind that let him down. Wish him the best.

Considering that the Chiefs offense is mostly focused on Tight Ends and Running backs. I expect Escobar and Hunt to step up huge this year

penbrook 06-03-2017 10:00 AM
It's funny because during the offseason Hill and Conley were working out with Maclin

I'm not sure that has to be the line of thinking. I would like it to be true. Reality is it could just as well mean that he he is getting 1st team reps because the other options are an incredibly inconsistent Wilson and a rookie WR.

Maybe a little but in the end unless Robinson and Conley make ideal leaps forward this will be a one step back, two steps forward move long-term for the team.

That's fine, and it's probably the right move. But in the short-term I think this offense will not be as good as it would have been with a healthy Maclin. In the end, I believe in Conley and I will hope the ever-usual camp hype on Robinson is true. Also the reality that Alex will be Alex either way.

This has been a fairly bad signing when you think about it.
I believe it was PICKS as in multiple picks, not one. :hmmm:

I'm saying this as somebody who's watched Robinson going back to HS, and was already sold on the talent long before we drafted him.

Totally understand why some of you are hesitant to buy into him though.

Because the Seahawks had such a great receiving corps when they won the SB. Stupid.

I just don't know enough about him to know either way. Conley I have seen enough to have hope that he could be a solid #2.

His YAC ability is ridiculous which is why I think he's a great fit in this offense.

I really like the work he put in on ST too. That showed me he's got the work ethic necessary to reach his potential.

That's likely not that bad. All need reps before playing with Mahomes. Tons of athleticism there. Hill is your guy to take the top off, and the other two can too but they are likely to be reliable, big targets underneath.
That's awful in a passing era where NFL teams put a premium on defensive secondary players.

Do you feel confident in those 3 WRs going up against The Patriots secondary of Butler, Gilmore, McCourty etc?

I don't see where we have an advantage

I'll just add:

1. One more "wow", didn't see this coming

2. Never understood the hate for Wilson although I agree he's not a #1 but also isn't paid as such

3. This season is going to be like watching one of your buddies go through the first 6-7 months of a divorce. If you have to ask what that means...
