Nah, we are good no matter what. Our WRs have potential. I certainly am not disputing that. I also believe there's a good chance we don't end the year with a stable WR1. It's not reason to panic but I also don't think it's something to be content about.

I love watching some of our big brain posters obliterate stupid ****ing narratives, but i hate that they have to spend the energy. Thanks Duncan. But know that theyll probably just move the goal posts and continue to cry.

I would be more concerned with our WR situation if #11 was out QB and not #15. If this WR room stays healthy then it will be very good. Not against signing Hopkins, but if he comes to KC, who loses playing time?

A bandaid is just so perfect for what we need. Toney can play slot on a snap count so we don't overuse him and we don't have to rely on an injury prone guy to be WR1. Skyy as WR2. We're probably easing rashee in anyway. I think justyn Ross needs to prove himself for a full year before we let him get hit. With dhop and toney, we won't need as much from mvs. Watson is expendable. James can be worked in situationally. Any reps we limit for toney or lose because he's hurt can be spread around. It really is a glue while we got a lot of uncertainty sorted out. Also, by not keeping a FB, we can keep an extra WR around as we sort out what's what. |

Has there been any news? I'm too lazy to read through the remainder of the thread.

We led the league in offense last year, potentially in spite of bad OTs. If OT play is significantly better this season, the Chiefs will be really hard to beat. Sure, we may look back and say, "turns out those guys were actually much better than we thought", but I don't think so.

It's not just about the receiving options, either. The upgrades on the Chiefs OL (and let's be honest, this staff thinks they ARE upgrades or it would have worked harder to keep Wylie and Brown) are an adjustment as well.

Stylistically, Smith and Taylor work really well with what KC likes to do. Better/more agile pass protectors who will make it harder for pass rushers to work outside and give Mahomes more room to escape to the sidelines. Sure, Smith is a worse run blocker than Orlando Brown, and it isn't a strength of Taylor's either, but they're both much better movers than the guys they're replacing, which SHOULD show up in improved outside run games.

Hopkins seems to be all about the money, not rings. Giving him top dollar sends all the wrong messages. I'll be shocked if he comes here.

How does signing someone who would be a significant improvement to our offense send the wrong message? If they can find a way to get him under the cap the only message being sent is "We want to repeat."

I hear he uses microwaves, too. Can't trust a guy like that!
