EPA/play is a better predictor in my opinion. They're right there with the Lions and Eagles.

Definitely could be better though.

It’s one path.

If the FA WR you add and are banking on as the top guy is an older player - Evans or Ridley or Keenan Allen if he is cut - you have to keep investing draft resources at WR.

I don’t think it requires a trade up if it isn’t a good fit or price. It can be taking a WR in round 1 or 2 each of the next 2-3 years and counting on numbers to fix the issue.

Any system that ranks this offense highly is worse than points per play.

Both Super Bowl victories under Mahomes we were 1st. The two teams who met in the Super Bowl last year were 1 and 2 in that stat

I don’t hate it I would just prefer we try to secure a young #1WR option this year. We need to be aggressive. If we sign an older player that’s fine but what I don’t want to see is just a band aid.

Link to an article that touches on EPA, among other things:

Excerpts:
"Since Week 8, the Chiefs rank 24th in expected points added (EPA) per dropback."

"Here are the quarterbacks who are running the passing offenses ranked behind Kansas City.

Joe Flacco, Cleveland Browns
Bailey Zappe, New England Patriots
Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers
Zach Wilson, New York Jets
Tommy Devito, New York Giants
Aidan O’Connell, Las Vegas Raiders"


"It can be started pretty simply: this season, Moore and Toney have been among the league’s worst wide receivers."

"In 2022, neither [KT/S. Moore] had production that would justify a belief they could be high-level contributors this season — and yet, the Chiefs trusted them to be starters who could play at a championship level."

Why in the hell would SF get rid of Aiyuk? That would be insanely stupid.

They're not paying a QB.

They're not ****ing getting rid of Aiyuk.

If they clean up the mistakes they can be good enough. Our floor with mahomes and Reid without the mistakes is higher than many ceilings. the path is set for us in the playoffs if we do. Plenty of flaws in the afc slate.

Exactly. Plus they picked up his option. He's not going anywhere next year.

He won’t want to play on the one year deal, he’ll wanna get extended. They’ve paid a lot of guys and need to pay some defensive ends

They’ll trade him this off-season

After looking at how horrendous their cap is, maybe.

If we did that, it's no Jones and no Sneed.

Doesn't SF need to pay Purdy next year?

Aiyuk would be a very nice get.

SF will likely need to sign Purdy to an extension after next season, so the time for them to not be paying a QB has almost come to an end.

“After looking at how horrendous their cap is, maybe.

If we did that, it's no Jones and no Sneed.”

That is a pretty big flip/flop…

Offense wins championships.

Defense loses championships to the Chiefs. See Philly. See 49ers. See Browns this year. Aint gonna do shit.
