Facts!!?!?!?! So what?

DT and Sanders have missed 2 games combined in the 4 years Latimer has been in Denver. He really hasn't gotten a chance to play.

If he was any good, he would have earned more playing time. It's not like Thomas and Sanders are the only ones that get targeted. Our "gadget player", as you call him came in and got more production as a 5th round rookie than Latimer has for his career.

And DT is dead. He doesn't get any catches. Certainly not for the cheating Donks. That POSS receiver for the Donk is unworthy of the nickname DT

Lattimer plays just under 50% of Broncos offensive snaps in 2017. 39 plays per game
Wilson plays 65% of Chiefs offensive snaps in 2017. 36 plays per game.

Is that really such a big difference?

[Quesadilla Joe]

For whatever reason DT and Sanders can't/won't/aren't comfortable playing in the slot and Latimer isn't either. That's why you've seen Bennie Fowler and Jordan Norwood playing in the slot the past few years.

Latimer started off slow with Manning and then got buried on the depth chart behind two Pro Bowl outside receivers.

Getting pepper sprayed at a strip club probably didn't help his situation much either.

Latimer has gotten more playing time this year and he's putting up better numbers than Wilson is on a per catch basis.

I don't know about Sanders, but of course a dead Chiefs linebacker is going to be uncomfortable in the slot.

Quit making excuses for him. If he was any good, he would have more production. Sanders could retire in the off-season and Latimer would still not produce next year.

[Sassy Squatch]

Player A: 19 receptions for 287 yards and 2 touchdowns. 378 snaps played

Player B: 29 receptions for 371 yards and 3 touchdowns. 440 snaps played.

Which player is having the better year?

If the problem simply is the guys in front of him are so good then why didn’t Latimer do anything while Sanders was out this year?

We all know the correct answer. It's because Latimer is a scrub. But I'm anxious to hear KnowShits lame excuse for this fact.

Because Siemian was so busy throwing to the other team that he forgot to throw the ball to Cody.

They seem like similar players. Hilarious that one is an UDFA and the other went in the 2nd round.

No, you don't. Hill may not have ideal height, but he damned sure has everything else.
Pair him with a QB unafraid of the tightest windows, and Hill becomes one of the best and most productive in the league.
Overnight.

I'm not saying Hill is a bad player. He's just not a number 1 WR. You completely neuter Hill by putting a safety over the top of him. Tyreek Hill is the last "#1 WR" I'd want to go to on 4th and 5 with the game on the line.

Would you go to him at the goal line with barely any time left on the clock on the road to tie against a bitter division rival?



Because obviously the Chiefs didn't get the memo. They're using him in clutch situations and he's coming up big.
