Chiefs Chris Conley Vs Demarcus Robinson - Page 2

Conley was never a fit for an Alex Smith led offense.

He should be now.

Conley also has the NFL combine record for a 45" vertical....I dont remember Smith EVER exploiting this advantage. I cant fathom being able to jump almost 4 feet in air from a stand still...that's insane.

People forget what a physical freak he is...and is fast as shit.

Robinson is getting a lot of reps because Conely is working back from his injury....we haven't seen Mahomes play with him yet.

WR3 is going to get a lot of action in this offense...

Yeah, he's a super legit athlete.

But he's never really looked like he could use that as a WR.

We never throw these types of jump balls to him. He really excels at doing this

Mahomes will be making these throws.

Either way, it's a good problem to have. This is likely the deepest and best WR corps we've ever had. We've never had a 1 and 2 like Watkins and Hill. Instead of fighting over a starting spot, now guys like Conley, Robinson, Cjesson, Kemp, etc. are fighting for the backup spots. We're likely going to have to release some talented players due to our depth, and that's a good problem to have.

Robinson sucked in Mahomes game but maybe that’s because he didn’t practice with Pat during the season and had to adjust to Pat’s arm velocity.

Robinson would be a good fit doing some of what Wilson did last year. Conley should be in on every red zone snap. High point the ball in the air and let him get it.

Skyy God · 06-13-2018, 09:05 AM

No idea who wins.

But I’d bet the Chiefs would prefer Robinson, since Conley’s a FA next year.

That's how I see it, which is a shame that we nver got the most out of him

I think they’re both fairly equal right now. I don’t really have a favorite to win the job, just want whoever it is to be productive.

Fish · 06-13-2018, 09:19 AM

Conley had some insane Combine numbers. He's got the ability, he's just never shown any of it on the field.

I like Robinson a lot though. He's also pretty talented, and seems to have good focus. Looked to have a nice relationship with Mahomes last year too.

May the best man win...

ToxSocks · 06-13-2018, 09:21 AM

Conley looks more polished than Robinson. Nor do i recall Conley ever missing on as many catchable balls as Robinson did in that Denver game. Conley also tested insanely well at the combine, so it's not as if Robinson is this fantastic athlete and Conley isn't because their combine scores would say quite the opposite.

With that said, i'm rooting for them both. I'm sure they'll both see time on the field regardless. It's a whole new season and Conley has to work back from injury, and Robinson has had another season to develop. It'll be one of the more fun battles to watch in TC/PS.

I heard Ryan Tracy and his buddy Chris blowing smoke up Conley's ass yesterday, saying it would be "ridiculous" if Robinson gets in ahead of him and I wondered why on earth would that be the case? Conley has been here for three years and has the grand total of ONE TD to his name!!...ONE.

Now granted, he may have been held back by Smith a little, but Is there anything in his game that he has that Robinson doesn't have? Imo Robinson is quicker, he's more elusive, gets separation better and has shown he can make tough catches all over the field whether it's underneath or over the top. Yet the way those guys were talking about Conley, you would have thought he was Randy Moss part two

.

I just look at the last two games Robinson played against Denver and the Titans and I thought he was very decent indeed. His connection with Mahomes should also work In his favor too. If Conley proves me wrong and becomes an important cog in the offense then I'll gladly hold my hands up and admit I was wrong. But I just don't see anything special about the guy at all. And with him having only one year left on his contract, Robinson would be the one worth investing in now I think.

The hell are you talking about?

Robinson dropped more passes in a few games than Conley has in his career. His catch rate was barely 50% last year when every other WR in KC was over 60%. The only guy with a catch rate worse ( and it's not that much worse) was demetrius Harris. Think about that.

Robinson has a knack for getting open, but I'm kinda surprised anyone expects him to beat out Conley. It doesn't matter how open you are if you don't catch the damn ball.

Conley is faster, quicker, jumps higher... athletically Conley wins in every area. It doesn't take 'Randy Moss' to beat out Robinson. I don't see anything from either guy we can't replace pretty easily.

Is that you Ryan or Chris?

First of all some of the so-called "catches" Robinson dropped against Denver were damn near impossible to catch. Mahomes either threw it too strongly or overthrew him on more than one occasion. The fact Is Robinson beat his man several times and Pat just wasn't on target on those occasions, which is why I don't put the blame on Demarcus. Secondly, there is no way Conley is more elusive or faster over a short distance than Robinson is, that's just bullcrap. Imo Conley is just a guy who can catch the odd ball here and there and maybe keep a drive going. Robinson on the other hand, has a great ability to beat his man and get separation, plus he can make tough catches all across the field.

Robinson showed against the Titans that he can handle the big stage, Conley has just been average ever since he turned up at Arrowhead.

Okay, so this is just you fanboing over Robinson.

Got it. Just ignore everything I said. You're committed to exalting another average/below average WR.

It's not worth it to me to even discuss it. Our season hinges on neither.

They're both average

I think Robinson has a higher ceiling
