****Our Wide Receivers Suck- Official Thread****

[Sofa King]

They can’t get open, they drop passes in their hands, their jet sweeps are slow and terrible. These guys are not good.

Wtf is the point of Toney? They acted like he would be some major contributor, but the guy is averaging 5.7 yards per catch. ****ing Jamaal Charles averaged 5.5 yards per carry over his career. How is a guy that should be a deep threat averaging so little per reception? Why did he have only 12 snaps this past week when he wasn't even injured and only 13 the week before and was a FP at practice. Wtf is going on with him?

**** id rather have had the 3rd and 6th rounder if we're not gonna even attempt to let him play.

Toney has been a huge disaster. You had guys calling him a number 1 expecting a 1000 yard season befire it started for ****s sake!

Yeah, it's gotten real damn annoying whenever he's scanned the field, missed 4 wide open receivers, and then just hands it off to CEH.

Claynus put his gypsy curse on him and told everyone how awesome he was going to be and gave him the nod of approval.


The kiss of death.

Chiefs will get it figured out.

You look at the All-22 all the time. I just started this year. WR's are wide open all the time/ Maybe thats the way it is on all teams films.

But, Mahomes is looking at the wide open receiver for a 20+ yard easy gain and just doesnt pull the trigger. Since he's the best ever at QB I'm assuming its a trust issue with his WR's, correct?

I think it can be pretty deceiving for a lot of reasons... simply the view from above the field versus Mahomes' perspective, passing lanes, how quickly defenders can make up ground will make receivers look more open than they really are, defenders baiting QBs, needing to anticipate when they'll be open or "throwing them open", Mahomes looking that way to throw versus looking that way to move defenders may make it look like he's staring at an open receiver when he has another plan in his head.... and then some of that goes into trusting receivers will be where they're supposed to be, like you said and second guessing himself and so on.

It's an interesting onion to peel back, especially for the best QB in the league, you know there are a ton of variables and shit going on in his head whenever he's not making it look easy.

Maybe we should run CEH 3 times and punt?

no kidding, especially Hardman vs Metcalf. If it weren't for the Tyreek situation we wouldn't have even taken a receiver there, and because of the Tyreek situation we took one with similar measurables to Tyreek so we could possibly replace some of his production. We would have never drafted Metcalf with the situation surrounding that pick.

MVS seems to have a positive attitude heading into Sunday's game...

Chiefs' Marquez Valdes-Scantling says having to travel to Germany for Week 9 game vs. Dolphins 'sucks'

Instead of playing the Miami Dolphins at home, the Kansas City Chiefs will face them across the pond in Frankfurt, Germany on Sunday as part of the NFL's annual International Series.

Many have openly wondered why such a big matchup will be played overseas. Regardless of the reason why, Chiefs veteran receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling isn't a fan of the travel associated with playing an international game.

"Yeah, it sucks," he said during a one-on-one interview with CBS Sports. "I mean, obviously it sucks that we have to travel nine hours for a home game when Arrowhead is right down the street. But obviously we do have other fans that are all over the world, not just in the United States. So it gives them the opportunity to see some of their favorite players play.

"I know we've got a lot of fans over in Germany, so I'm grateful that we get to give them that opportunity. But it does suck for the players to have to be away from their families, or (I've) got to find a babysitter for my dogs for a couple days. Things that we've got to take into account. But past that, it is what it is."

While the game gives fans in Frankfurt the chance to see an NFL game in person, it doesn't sound like the Chiefs will get much of a chance to experience Frankfurt.

"I think it's going to be mostly business," Valdes-Scantling said of the trip. "We're leaving Thursday after practice. We'll probably get there Friday morning, and then we'll probably have practice when we land. The only free time will probably be Friday after we get done with work. Obviously, Saturday is the day before the game so we're doing all our final preps for the game."

The Dolphins appear to be taking a different approach. While the Chiefs were departing for Germany on Thursday, Miami arrived in Frankfurt on Tuesday morning. The reason for the Dolphins' early arrival was Miami coach Mike McDaniel's desire to have his players spend some time not thinking about football.

Location aside, Sunday is a big game for both teams. Miami (6-2) is currently just behind Kansas City (6-2) in the AFC standings following the Dolphins' win over the Patriots last Sunday and the Chiefs' surprising loss to the Broncos in Denver.

No one should be surprised if Valdes-Scantling makes his presence felt in a big way on Sunday. Some of the six-year veteran's best games have come on the NFL's brightest stages. As a member of the Packers, Valdes-Scantling recorded 115 receiving yards and a score in the 2020 NFC title game. Last January, he caught a critical touchdown pass in the Chiefs' AFC Championship Game win over the Bengals.

"It's just opportunities," Valdes-Scantling said of his ability to step up in big moments. "I don't take anything for granted. With football, we've been doing this thing for so long. I know I have been playing since I was a little kid. So it's no different no matter what the stage is. I don't look at it any different. … I look at all those games the same, never get too high, never get too low.

"I think that's kind of been my motto with life, and that's kind of how I've stayed even keel. … One of my college coaches told me this saying and it's kind of stuck with me: 'It's never as good as it is and it's never as bad as it seems.' That's just how I've always kind of operated my life it's kind of helped me out to be where I'm at now."

Valdes-Scantling and his teammates will be taking one comfort from home with them to Germany. Charmin recently sent the team their new toilet paper, Ultra Soft Smooth Tear, ahead of this weekend's upcoming game.

"Charmin's getting me right for my trip over to Germany," Valdes-Scantling said. "Just keeping my routine the same with their Ultra Soft Smooth Tear toilet paper. Going over to a different part of the world that you've never seen before, you just never know what to expect. Being able to have Charmin bless me with that and keeping my routine the same, I'm grateful that we've partnered up and I'm excited about that."

Still don't know why we waited so long to fly to Germany, our WR's are going to be late!
