Lmao, who's job is Justyn Ross going to take? Patrick Mahomes saying good things about other players is what he does.

I'm not sure why fans of this team continue to cling to their old shitty ways. We're not bottom feeders anymore. We have legit Super Bowl hopes every year, so I think we can stop fawning over every shitty practice squad/special teams WR. We don't have to try to make up reasons to be excited about the team anymore.

Unless they've already used it up, they can put a June 1st tag on him and cut him now. They don't have to actually wait until June, unless they don't have any more June designations to apply.

Yup

I wouldn't say he was the only option. Marquise Brown who they traded a 1st round pick for had over 100 targets and 700+ yards. Thats not nothing.

You and BleedingVag are giving Ross the reverse mojo boost.

Lol, crazy how people remember the SB.

Check the play-by-play; our "number one ranked offense" did what in the first half of the SB?

TD
MISSED FG
PUNT
PUNT

If not for a stellar play by the defense the score going into the half would've been 7-24.

Also, after that first TD, the Chiefs offense basically couldn't stay on the field, and left the defense out there for 22 minutes (offense was only on the field for 8 minutes in the first half).

And finally, the Chiefs defense allowed just 11 points in the second half, and that plus the strip sack return for 6 is the reason KC won the SB.

But it does highlight yet another example for why I'm not comfortable with the WR room. Several times in 2022 the offense stalled for several series in a row, just as they did in the first half of the SB, and now two of the most productive WRs for the Chiefs have left for greener pastures. But we won, so now a lot of people suddenly think that Andy/Veach can just throw any scrub on the field and we're certain to repeat.

We barely beat JAX. A team that wasn't very good playing man/press, with a new HC, a new offense for Trevor, and yet we still were forced to punt five times in that game.

And so on.

The defense is fine. We could literally re-sign Frank and Dunlap and do nothing else, and we'd have a top-12 defense.

The offense needs a talent infusion.

2022:
Kelce-152 targets
JuJu-101 targets---GONE
MVS-81 targets
Watson-34 targets
Toney-20 targets
Moore-33 targets
Hardman-34 targets----GONE

Signed:
Rich James

So that's 455 targets to Kelce/receivers. So that means we have about 135 targets to distribute ATM. Kelce usually averages about 135-140 targets so lets keep him at 135.

2023 projected:
Kelce-135 targets
Toney-I could see 90 targets, will he stay healthy?
Moore-I could see 75 targets.
MVS-I see his targets going down actually to 60
Watson-30 targets
Rich James-30 target guy

So thats about 35 targets to either spread out to these guys or bring in a guy like Ross. Add Ross in and that makes 7just like what he had last season. Now if any of these players get hurt that just means more targets for the rest.

If we land Hopkins I still think MVS and his $7M cap hit could be the odd guy out and Toney/Watson/James/Ross take those deep routes MVS ran for us.

If we could only get some kind on force at DT next to Jones I think our D could take a huge step.

We might draft one. either way, the defense is fine. It'd be nice to get a couple solid rotational guys for the DL, but it's not an absolute necessity kind of thing.

N my dreams Jalen Carter falls to us

I''m not a fan of that guy. I believe it's very likely that he has serious character issues.

However, I trust Veach/Andy/Spags enough that if they draft him, they probably know what they're doing. From a performance standpoint, yeah, Carter is a beast.

I wouldn't hate bringing both of those guys back at all.

I wouldn't mind either. One or both. They're good enough.
