Confidence in #11 ?

[Molitoth]

Just wanted to start this by saying I've been a big fan of Robinson as a Chief.

He is always available, a great blocker, and doing a hell of a lot of running while rarely seeing a target.

With the attention on Kelce and Hill, I've always thought that Drob could be balling out, but for some reason he hasn't been.

The last game I think we saw him drop 3 passes, two wide open for first downs.

Dropped passes are probably one of my biggest pet-peeves in this sport of football, and Drob royally had me pissed at my couch cushion.

I wonder if dropped passes are a common thing in Chiefs practice for Drob, and he doesn't have the confidence from Pat this season?

Anyway, still rooting for some big Drob moments this post-season.

Any comments/discussion on this topic?

He's a mystery to be sure. I mean, he has had some AMAZING catches (on handed in the EZ, the catch where he caught the ball while getting plowed and landing on his ass...both against the Raiders I think) etc. I really feel like last week was probably the worst he's looked all season. Hopefully he got that shit out of his system. He's been solid, and another cog in the amazing passing attack wheel that the Chiefs have this season. Great blocker as well. He should get his opportunities this weekend with all the focus on Reek and Kelce. Watkins and DRob are in no way slouches...and Hardman...damn, we got some receivers y'all...

Maybe just a slump..he usually has great hands.

I'm a fan.

Agreed!!

He's going off tomorrow.

I think the dropped passes from D-Rob AND from Kelce who had a couple there in the first quarter as well can be chalked up to being TOO hyped up.

He's never been a butterfingers that I can remember anyway.

And we've seen Kelce have the dropsies early in big, emotionally loaded type games before.

My only concern is that it just gets BIGGER each game now. and they've gotta get it together much earlier; we can't spot anyone 24 points and expect to win from here out.

I doubt that.

I mean Watkins is certainly gone.

No reason not to keep D-Rob if they want to. He won't be all that expensive.

I can see the negotiations now.

“I want a raise.”

“Here let me show you a tape of the divisional round in the playoffs.”

Demarcus walks out with a pay cut.

I wouldn't give him Chris Conley's contract from Jacksonville. Would you?

And that contract is probably the starting point for Robinson's deal.

He gone.

2 year $4.5M doesn't seem that bad. When all we will have is Hill, Hardman, Pringle as the only seasoned WR returning.
Most of our draft capital will be going to other places.

Draft WRs. Keep drafting WRs. Don't stop drafting WRs. That's the name of this game now that we've got an elite QB.

We have to be selective about the WRs we choose to keep when they reach the end of their deals. Is the player elite (like Hill)? Then keep him. Is the player nothing more than depth but willing to play for peanuts? Then keep him. Is the player nice to have around? Well... yeah, he's nice to have around, but if you do your job in continuing to fill out your WR depth through the draft, that guy who is nice to have around shouldn't be getting paid that money.

Like... would I rather extend Robinson to 2 years $5 million (let's round up since Robinson has been a better playmaker than Conley was, and even that might be a bit low) or would I rather NOT cut Daniel Sorensen, who does a phenomenal job as the "clean up" guy at safety and on special teams? If it came down to it, I'm keeping Dirty Dan every single time and replacing Robinson with either Pringle or Kemp. Or a guy that we draft. Or some other random UDFA from the practice squad or training camp who just kind of shows up and looks great.

We've got an elite QB now. Our QB has just as big of a role in developing WRs as our coaches do. And we've got one of the best in the game.

Maybe. Depends on the draft and what they think of Pringle and Dieter. Kemp’s contract is up as well and he would cost next to nothing to bring back

He'll have at least one huge catch in the next two games. He's not gonna disappear completely and he usually finds a way to work open if everyone else is covered.

[DaFace]

I can't imagine he's gonna drop 4 again in this game. But that said, I won't cry too much if he's not on the team next year.
