I thought Rice definitely needed to work on not drifting into defenders in the zone, and he seems to be working on it.
And it's frustrating that Reid doesn't seem to know how to use him.I will never understand Skyy out wide with Rice in the slot when they are on the field together.
Also, his burst and get off is elite. He is the perfect receiver for running slants to move the chains, and for drag routes and crossers because he can separate from man coverage quickly.
Until this week, he had only caught like 3 or 4 slants all year, and he had two of the biggest plays on drag route. They work, and I don't know why Reid doesn't see that Rice could eat up defense that way.
But, to the point of Skyy developing, it is Rice's development this year that may be the most condemning thing for Skyy Moore.
Moore may be a fringe NFL player in a less complicated offensive scheme, but in this offense he doesn't look like he belongs in the league. Obviously, the Chiefs and Reid, who clearly knows more about football than anyone on this board, think he is a player, so we will all continue to suffer his suck.

Holy ****ing reerun.
The guy has been as productive as jsut about any rookie WR, and Reid "doesn't know how to use him"?
Straight up, you're a butt****ing moron dude.
