And im still not sure about this whole "vision" problem thing.
I view "Vision" arguments much like i view "route running" arguments for WR's. It's treated as a default answer when trying to explain why a player so physically gifted doesn't produce the way you think he should. How come a guy that big and that fast didn't produce more? "Oh it must be because he didn't see the hole!" How come Mecole Hardman who's so fast doesn't see the ball more? "Oh it must be because he can't run a route!" "Oh, it must be that one thing that i can't really accurately gauge while sitting on my couch!" |
The Chiefs have had one homerun TD from distance from an RB (Gore vs Raiders) IN THREE YEARS!!. The last one before that was Williams in the superbowl. And to me that has been an ussue because though Williams wasn't a big stat guy he had an ability to break a big run for a score and in his last season he did that three times in huge games against the Vikings, Chargers and of course the Niners. I think this is where Pacheco could change the dynamic of this offense because he's a home run waiting to happen tbh. The bottom line is he has elite traits and physical abilities. He's doing in it camp so the next progression is the preseason games. Impress in those then Ceh is gonna have a big fight on his hands imo.

Why does Hunter Renfrow by who all accounts looks like an average human being, with very marginal combine numbers (amongst NFL standards) go for over 100 catches and 1000 yards? It's because he is undoubtedly one of the best route runners in the NFL for slot receivers. Cooper Kupp almost set an all-time receiving yard record while not being an exceptional athlete because he is amazing at his craft (1 more game and some other factors go into that but the point remains). I think attributes that also help WR's that as you put it "can't gauge sitting on a couch" is reading a defense and understanding leverage. Route running I think you can work on a teach and get better- hell we saw Tyreek do it in front of our eyes. In contrast I think vision is something that is extremely hard to improve on but it is what separates the Kareem Hunt's from the Knile Davis' of the world. We'll see how Pacheco ends up but I think at this moment I'll tip the hat to Veach for getting an interesting prospect with such a late pick and hope the coaching staff can get the most out of him. |

Williams would seal games with a back breaking TD run. The Chiefs would be boring clock and boom, suddenly they are up 11 instead of 4. The result was great, but we didn't have a run game that would dictate the pace of the game. Clyde is three yards. If he breaks one its like 9 yards. If Pacheco can be a poor mans Hunt I'll all for it. Hunt could dictate the pace of the game, settle the offense down, kill teams with a screen, big run, or in short yardage. If the find that player again, look out. |

And that’s without getting into every single turd your dumpster fire franchise has drafted over the last 6 years. I bet Dungver is one of the worst teams at keeping their draft picks, mostly because they suck! |

Route running is a real skill because you can have all the speed and size in the world, if you can't play football so what. Look at what Green Bay is going through right now Christian Watson. Their 7th round pick has looked better in earlier mini-camps. That was predicted by anyone that watched how raw Watson was at football. Meanwhile, I am happy we got a better player than Watson in Sky who has athleticism but can also play football. |
