The bottom line is that this guy has ELITE potential. Like more potential than anyone else on that side of the ball.

Sure, there are issues but you can't scoff at giving up a pick at the very end of round 3 for that kind of potential. The upside is just so high it overwhelms any argument that could be made.

There's literally no downside to this move. If he ends up being a malcontent, they'll just get rid of him and they're out almost nothing.

One thing worth mentioning is how shit the turf is at Metlife stadium.

Playing on a natural grass surface is another positive regarding his injury history.

He's not a cantankerous little rookie with a chip on his shoulder that just needs a stern talking to and veterans to help lead him. Trying to point to the prestige of playing with Mahomes or respect in the locker room or whatever doesn't mean nearly as much to a guy that doesn't care as much about football.

Alex Smith flashbacks.


I'd lose interest, too.

It’s a gamble. But if it works out, it’s a cheap WR through 2025. If not we are out $1.9 million total. Our free 3rd and a 6th. This is a gamble we need to take.

In Veach we trust.

But how do we know he doesn't care about football? Maybe he just didn't want to play for the Giants?

It's not so black and white.

Exactly.

This regime has done nothing but earn our respect and admiration time and again.

It's well past time to trust them.

Uhh, it's pretty well documented that even at Florida he appeared to have more interest in a rapping career than an NFL career. Nothing he's done with the Giants dispels that notion.

Well, he's a Chief now. We'll see how it plays out.

Dude got drafted by the Giants when they were complete shit. Then dealt with an entire regime change and who knows how much of a prick they were when they first showed up.

If he acts like he has here....then he'll bounce around the league before washing out. If he succeeds then he'll make money. It's as simple as that.

I'll always remember Tyler Bray's quote as to why he joined the Chiefs as a URFA, "Because he gets guys paid".

I think Reid keeps it real and lets these guys know what's up.

I mean the break on the out he has on Diggs looks like a madden glitch. I’m not sure there is a guy in the league who can move like him. I’m not going to hold my breathe on him ever being a consistent #1 receiver. But I’m excited

For every touchdown he scores Tech N9ne sends him a new beat

Well Brian Daboll was hear under the regime that said they could get 52 guys off the street, so yeah, who knows how much of a prick he was.

So, really don't want to be THAT guy, but where is this notion coming from that Reid does well handling situations like this?

For the most part we just dump assclowns, not rehabilitate them.
