Skyy is a rookie that’s made rookie mistakes. Pretty sure he doesn’t have Patrick’s trust like some veterans. The SF INT is a good example of him losing trust. But he’s not getting more reps. Christian Watson made countless **** up’s and lost his QB’s trust but gained it back last night with experience. We need to see if Skyy will do the same as he gets experience.
Even as a baseline the Chiefs drafted this guy based on team fit and future expectations. He wasn’t drafted to be Tyreek Hill. He was fighting for the 4th WR spot behind MVS, Juju and Hardman the day he stepped foot at camp.
And FFS people need to quit getting pissed at him for his ST’s mistakes. It’s in no way his fault. It’s Toub and Andy’s fault for putting him out there. The kid has zero experience as a returner and they just put him out there bc he had good hands in college. That’s the definition of asinine. And of course people hate the kid for it.

"There's no hand waiving..."
{proceeds to make excuses for a 2nd round pick playing worse than every other WR taken in the round...}
That 'deepest WR room in the league' was missing it's top 3 options for parts of the game and Moore did nothing. That 'connection' that Justin Watson, a complete JAG and league-wide afterthought, was there for the taking for Moore. That 4th WR spot he was fighting for has turned into the 6th WR spot by mid-season. That's not progress, fellas.
Hardman, who you have never said anything positive about, has kept far more space between himself and Moore than he did between himself and Pringle.
There's just always some justification for a
second round pick to be contributing nothing to this offense. And when it's clearly harder now to make the "well the scheme is just so complicated" argument with Toney hitting the ground running, you cite some 'connection' between Mahomes and Watson instead.
Yes, that's absolutely hand-waiving. It's the definition of same. There's always a 'yeah but' with this kid.
Bottom line is that the Chiefs reached on a guy who wasn't ready to contribute and doesn't have the raw tools to present a long-term, high upside play. That's an iffy pick and it's okay to call it such.
