2015 Chiefs WR Core Worst in NFL?
There has been much talk this off season regarding the improvements to the much maligned 2014 KC wide receiver corps. The addition of Maclin and Avant (since Avant was a late season add last year) with the flash from Wilson toward the end of the season, the rebranding of DAT as a WR and the hope that Conley will be a player, many here see this as the best WR corps the Chiefs have had in some time.
It is - in my opinion - potentially the best WR corps Smith has ever played with in his 10 years in the league. Yet, there is an article on Arrowhead Pride that lists Chiefs 2015 WR corps the worst in NFL. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2015/6...rs-weakest-nfl What say you? Are we (many of us anyway) just drinking the Kool-aid, or do the Chiefs have something going on the outside? Last edited by temper11; 06-04-2015 at 03:30 PM.. |

Maclin is going to be huge for this offense...Bowe was a sloth. It's not just that he's a better suited WR for Reid's offense....it's he is going to make life easier for those around him. Nobody was worried about Bowe getting behind them..he was a major score for this team.

You're right, complaints on last years o line are completely unfounded.

Maclin should be a huge improvement over Bowe in Reid's system and fit better with Smith's abilities but people seem to speak of him as if he's Megatron or something.
Outside of Maclin KC has a bunch of track stars who really haven't proven a damn thing.

Since I actually think Maclin is going to be a downgrade from Bowe, it's entirely possible.

We definitely upgraded over the most overrated player in Chiefs history (Bowe).
Maclin can do everything Bowe can't aka run fast, separate and catch consistently. 2-5 WR is a big unknown...until Conley starts quieting the haters.

And Bowe can do things Maclin can't.

Chiefs will certainly miss his down-field blocking... that's for damn sure. Dude was a beast.

In a different system, Bowe is a very good receiver. He's a "chuck it up dawg and I'll go get it" guy.
That's not what Reid and Alex want nor need. It's why Bowe was able to put up very good numbers with crap QB's. His game was predicated on out muscling the defender for the ball in a general area. His game is not about precision cuts and timing, which is exactly what Reid's version of the Edwards West Coast system is about. |

I look forward to Maclin precisely cutting his way into 750 yards.

Until Bowe didn't go up and win the battle for the ball or just plained dropped it. Or maybe he doesn't line up right or make the correctly route adjustment.
Bowe was a FA, why isn't he in Baltimore?

It's entirely possible that you don't suck penis for a living too, but highly unlikely.
