Honey Badger
Both starting ILBs from last year (Washington and Dansby).

You act like the Chargers receivers weren't getting open against the Cardinals. They were getting open quite often, especially on that final drive where Rivers just flat our missed his receivers and lost the game because he couldn't get into field goal range.

this ****ing guy LMAO

not once has anyone ever said that Gates hasn't "outplayed" every Chiefs receiver in 2014

it would be ****ing hard not to

YOU SAID

ANTONIO GATES IS FASTER THAN ANY CHIEFS RECEIVER.

Just stop right there.

ANTONIO GATES IS FASTER THAN ANY CHIEFS RECEIVER.

Stop again.

My only argument to any of that was NO HE'S ****ING NOT. He MIGHT be faster than Anthony Fasano. MAYBE. Other than that...he's SLOWER THAN ANY CHIEFS RECEIVER.

So shut the **** up.

you guarantee, eh?

well at least I am smart enough to cash in my Alex Smith chips

he's going to have an abysmal year...it'll be 50/50 his fault

but 'great' QBs make the players around them better...Alex isn't good enough to do that, clearly

Phillip Rivers certainly is, though.

That's really the type of offense that we should be running with now with the talent that we have:

Bottom 4 in the league at WR even with Bowe (our Welker).

Really talented at TE with Kelce (our version of Gronk) and the solid Fasano. Harris likely won't see time until the BYE. Kelce, Fasano, and Harris are all more of a mismatch for opposing defenses than any of our WRs outside of Bowe are.

Then out of the 2 TE sets, we can run anything that we want with Charles.

But, instead, Reid insisted on going with the big group of WRs on the field who can't get open because they should be on a practice squad, learning to play football in the NFL, and not on an active roster.

Avery is a situation deep threat that should never be counted on as a #2, much less a #1, on any decent roster. Hammond, though he has shown flashes and improvements from last year, is still a major unknown and should be the #5 or #6 developmental WR who contributes on special teams. Albert Wilson is in the same boat as Hammond. AJ Jenkins is kind of a waste of space, just shows almost no will to get better and actually contribute. And Hemmingway is another unknown and isn't in good football shape yet due to his sitting out of TC with injuries.

Rivers...'top 10'

I can't even finish I'm laughing so hard...

Don't get me wrong. Rivers is a very good QB and was verging on being Elite last year. He is, after Big Ben and Russell Wilson, the closest to breaking into the Elite group (Manning, Brady, Rodgers, and Brees). He just wasn't good at all tonight just like Alex wasn't good against the Titans.

Gates is not anywhere close to a top 5 TE in the NFL in 2014. He is past his prime. Years past. However, you are right...he is very slow.

But apparently the Chiefs don't have a single RECEIVER faster than Antonio Gates.

Yeah, I'm the moron.
