Hill might be the most perfect slot guy ever born.

Conley isn't able to get seperation. He doesn't get open. Period.

So are you suggesting that cutting Jeremy Maclin was addition by subtraction? Because that is the only way that the 2017 Chiefs didn't get worse from this move..

Give me a break. Maclin dropped perfectly placed balls in that game, period.

Watch that Denver game again...

We do get worse.

Period. There is nothing we have on the roster that is close...

And if I haven't clear enough, I ****ing LOVE this move.

I've been calling for Maclin to be cut as soon as the season was over and I'm thrilled that
Dorsey and Reid had the BALLS to move on from an overpaid, off-injured, declining, 29 year old free agent acquisition.

**** yes.

From a cap standpoint, yes

BryanBusby 06-03-2017 10:43 AM

I don't think it's goimg to impact Even Steven all that much.

Maclin has been injured at some point nearly every season in his career and is approaching 30. He absolutely wasn't in the longterm plans.

If there was an actual head-scratcher, it would be wtf is Jah Reid still on the roster for.

Wait how tf does Conley not get open? He has probably the best hands on the team

You can't make the declaration that the Chiefs offense is "worse" this season because the season hasn't been played.

Ty Hill was the best WR on the team last year and he was a 5th round pick. The Chiefs have Robinson, Chesson and Conley, all of whom are far from their ceilings.

Conley had as many yards last year as Maclin and it's not a stretch to think that Robinson and/or Chesson fills Maclin's void as Hill's touches on offense increase big time.

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 still bottom 5 in the league.

Why would you think these two things are related?

And no, he DOES NOT HAVE GOOD HANDS, let alone the best on the team...

LMAO

Tyreek Hill: 61 catches, 593 yards, 6 TD's
Chris Conley: 44 catches, 530 yards
Jeremy Maclin: 44 catches, 536 yards, 2 TD's

Yep, nothing close.

LMAO

The Chiefs won 12 games last year with Maclin playing like ass. He was targeted 15 times in the Texans game and caught six. That's pathetic. He was awful in the playoff game and missed 4 games entirely with a groin injury.

The Chiefs weren't getting a 27 year old Maclin that put up 1,088 yards in 2017. He's 29 and declining rapidly. It's also clear that the Chiefs thought that their younger guys are capable of filling the 530 yard void left by releasing Maclin.

The bottom line is that this move allows the young guys, be it Chesson, Robinson or even Seantavious Jones, an opportunity to step up and contribute.

I think this move has very little, if any, negative impact to the offense.

I think it's completely fair to say that Maclin would be better in NE than Robinson who has proven nothing.

But I give credit to Dorsey here. This has all the makings of the Steven Nelson development last season. Let the vet (Sean Smith) go and trust your staff to develop a talented player.

Dorsey has been right about young players over and over and over again. Chris Jones, Dee Ford, Tyreek Hill, Steven Nelson.

Dorsey has earned my trust
