What about an entire extra year of studying the offense and practicing in it? Are we just going to completely discount that?

And for the record, I think Moore has been a disappointment. And sure, I think the Chiefs expected a little more out of him at this point. To be honest, when I watched his college highlights after the Chiefs drafted him, he didn't really jump out at me that much.

But I figured that I don't watch a lot of college football and add to that that everyone here as well as several tv commentators were praising the pick so it must be a good one. I just figured that people that may know more about football were high on this pick so I might was well get on board, too.

I will say that if you're criticizing the Chiefs for making that pick at that spot well then you had better start criticizing a lot of people. If I recall correctly, there were a lot of people at the time that thought it was a good pick. We also have to consider that perhaps they felt that Skyye was a better fit than a guy like Pickens?

This last part is not directed at you, necessarily, but Chiefs fans need to be patient. I am willing admit that this guy could have a limited ceiling. But Chiefs fans need to recognize that the team and many other so called experts thought that he could also turn into a very good player. And if that happens then we will all be happy. I saw someone in this thread already comparing him to Breeland Speaks. Let's pump the brakes on that one, shall we.
He didn't play in this offense. He didn't study it. He had some familiarity with the terminology due to Kafka being their OC this season, but he wasn't their OC last season.

And by the same token, Toney didn't have a full camp with this team - Moore did. He didn't have 7 weeks of games and practice with this team and this quarterback. Moore did.

There's no reasonable basis to conclude that Toney SHOULD be more 'game ready' than Moore in this offense - unless it's just a straight up talent disparity.
