Now we're considering the opinions of MLB beat writers like they are gospel?

Flanny used to cover the Chiefs. He knows his stuff.

MahomesMagic 03-24-2022 03:01 PM

Gross.


He is fine as a #3 but you don't pay that for a 3.

This is Jacksonville stupid.

Can we smear his hands with glue or give him velcro palm implants?

BossChief 03-24-2022 03:02 PM

If the drops part is true and he can give us the deep threat and a reliable target with top end speed, then this is a great move. That’s a lot of ifs, though.

No signing replaces a Tyreek Hill. He’s a generational unicorn. But if this signing replaces those parts of what Tyreek brought to the offense, I’m good with it. We come out close to 20m per year in surplus cap space over signing Tyreek as well as a ton of draft picks that can help the roster be more talented across the board.


If those resources are managed correctly, this team won’t skip a beat and will end up winning the division again as well as hunting for another trophy/ring. If they aren’t used effectively, well…we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

This is a GMs version of “betting on yourself” and I think Veach deserves the benefit of the doubt there.

The Chiefs are paying peanuts for wide receivers this year. Relax.

Hardman - 4.4MM
JuJu - 2.9 MM
MVS - 9MM

Add a rookie and you're probably looking at around $20MM for the entire WR group.

I don’t know the guy. Never heard of him till this afternoon. But they live about a mile from me. Found an article on the guy.

Dad was the lead in moving the Challenger shuttle from analog to digital. Marquez took advanced classes while growing up. So he has to have some smarts. Hopefully he picks up the offense quickly.

You see TV broadcasts, which don't show route running. Nor do you have any idea what route is meant to be ran.

Whenever someone says, "He's a poor route runner", i always roll my eyes. You don't know. It's not something you can put on YouTube and go, "oh yup, look at that. He's a poor route runner".

And quite frankly, people make way too much out of route running.

Well everyone said that about Mecole Hardman when he came out. Turns out they were absolutely right.

Absolutely. Like I said, if anyone can get him to live up to his potential, it's us.

I guess I'm just looking at the money from the wrong perspective, it's not that much considering the market and he obviously had other teams chasing him. Doesn't help I have Packer fans all around my office telling me how dumb we are. LMAO

it's a solid signing, dude can at least play as your 3rd or 4th option. Still draft a WR if one is worth picking, which there should be. A bit more expensive than you'd like for that but maybe he can take it to the next level.

Might wanna remind them that they currently have Allen Lazard at WR and nothing else.

Hoover 03-24-2022 03:10 PM

When you consider the franchise tag is 17M for a WR, and the top guys are getting 21M a year on average, dropping 9M doesn't seem that bad.

Going to be interesting to see if he does a lot better with Mahomes.
