Can we all just agree to kill Mahomo?

Now we lose 2 guys and Kelce is a year older and some of you just think it's not an issue. Dude said this wasn't the hardest year he's had and the response is to just expect more from him?

The approach that we can just throw anyone out there because of Mahomes and Kelce is how you get bit in the ass.

Of course they're going to do something, it's just not going to be paying some over 30 WR a bunch of money.

It's probably not going to be something that you all are totally comfortable with. But we don't watch every practice, we don't sit in on every meeting.
These guys know what they're doing.

And signing either OBj/DHop solves the most problems with one player.

Which reminds me. Anyone want to see Andy call more slants? you want to guess who the best slant WR is in the NFL? The best at beating press? Clue: his name starts with a 'D.'

But here's the problems with both OBJ and Deandre. OBJ is a singular loud personality that demands a lot of targets, and that will be a big reason for him to come to KC. He's going to want as many targets as he can get, because he needs to reset his market value in the one or two seasons he's with KC. And when he doesn't get those targets, he's going to make noise about it. or his dad will, or whoever. And he's pretty much always been a boundary WR. So not exactly the guy we need to replace JuJu. I think it wouldn't be that hard for him to figure it out, but it's not his wheelhouse.

Then we have Dhop's lack of interest in practice. Now maybe that would change in KC, but he does have that history, at least in ARI. But that could be related to his QB/HC situation, I don't know. But it's there. And our draft picks just aren't that enticing. Even if ARI says we'll take a 5th and a 6th, would they take ours? More likely we'd have to bump those to a 4th and a 5th, maybe even a 3rd and a 4th, because those picks are dead last in each round. Not sure Veach will go that far, but whatever.

So both would come with certain issues. Which are probably the biggest reasons I personally don't see either coming to KC, not the money.

We both figure they'll sign a guy/trade for a guy on the cheap, bring back JWat, and draft a guy early-ish.

The only difference is, I thought that from the beginning. I just thought Hardman would do his one year deal here, because it made the most sense. I guess I didn't count on how much of a dumb-ass he really is.

Yeah, we're close.

The difference is, I think it's still possible that we sign an actual real WR, not some middling JAG that just barely meets the need. I would rather we sign DHop and just force every DC into an impossible situation every week. No more squeaking by the likes of DEN, LVR, BUF, or CIN. No more 20-point games.

Just overwhelm them. Leave them all nothing more than smoking wrecks by the roadside. And let's be honest, $17M/yr for a couple years (or $15M/3years!!!) is basically clearance sale prices for an elite WR.

And isn't our half-billion dollar QB worth it? Doesn't he deserve to have nice things? Shouldn't he be able to have a few games every season where he doesn't have to do it all by himself?

I think he is. Maybe it's just me.

Yeah he does. He deserves a nice shiny new toy or two. :)
