This wasn’t you, but man the idiots in the GDT thread saying he sucked after that injury. Good God. Was clear that that injury took its toll on him which is completely understandable.
The problem with Pacheco is his receiving traits. I remember Torico saying Pacheco worked on his receiving skills in the offseason….and then dropped a wide open pass for a TD.
Love Pacheco but he doesn’t have good lateral agility or a feel for the passing game. He’s a straight line guy. We haven’t had a receiving threat at the position since McKinnon. A guy who can make guys miss and be a nice WR on passing downs.
We got it from Clyde for awhile before that devastating injury killed his athleticism (I think in New Orleans?)
This is what we’ve been missing IMO and why I want Ty Johnson so badly:

Perine is a good receiving back as proven by what he’s done prior to coming to KC. They barely used him as a rb, let alone ad a receiver. Because as we were told, “Andy is holding everything back for the playoffs”. Still barely used him either way except for icing the Bills game. Andy just had really gone away from passing to the backs, running screens with them, etc. Where’s the offense that ran that sweet wheel route to Kareem during his first stint with KC? Where are all the plays we used to run with McKinnon?
