CEH played on an offense with NFL dudes everywhere around him. The QB, the WRs etc.

He just never translated to the NFL.

EB called out clyde

almost time to kick his ass down the road

When?

So he basically called out everyone.

Seems like he tried to call out the RB's as a whole but soften the blow by saying both running and passing.

I wish we had EB in his prime, he was a much better RB than CEH. I think it's time to move on from CEH.

That's how I read it.

The odds are very low that you can find a Christian McCaffrey in the later rounds

Words are nice but I'd like to see some action. This is getting ridiculous. CEH clearly isn't the answer at RB. He's too slow and doesn't have the ability to break many tackles other than a few plays here and there.

Move on from CEH and give his carries to Pacheco and McKinnon.

If you look at his stats in the game it would seem like he was his usual JAG self. But he had 2 clutch moments with the catch on 3rd down and the 3rd & 1 carry late on. I'm not his biggest fan, far from it, but he deserves a bit of praise for that.

Not a single player involved in the run game deserves praise for shit tonight. From every single RB and FB to the OL.

Participation Trophy for sure.

Clyde should have played more and been thrown to on 1st down and on screens

Remember me saying all of our RBs kind of suck?

Well.

Pacheco is no star. Hes just a guy.

Pacheco is like a gambling addict, just 1 play away from breaking it big.

Reid is a big second chance guy. Should have thrown Cleveland the 4th for Hunt. I saw a few times tonight where our RB’s were one armed tackled.

If he really wanted him, he could have simply kept him.

Yup. Reminds me of Herschal walker. His movements laterally aren’t smooth because his shoulders are always squared up north.

Clyde should be cut and replaced with Wayne Gallman. Or Wayne Brady. Or John Wayne. Who ****ing cares?

He's so goddamn worthless.

I mean, might as well try Rojo. How much worse can it get?

This.

While I wasn't one of those "Pacheco is great! He's a star! We got a steal in the 7th!" guys, I thought he would make more plays than CEH has. So far, he's just as bad. Only difference is that he runs into O-linemen asses faster than CEH does.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire past 3 games:

Week 7: 29% offensive snaps, 6 touches
Week 9: 15% snaps, 5 touches
Week 10: 6% snaps, 0 touches

Oof.

Can we stop complaining about Clyde? He’s clearly the 3rd RB on the depth chart. It is what it is. No need to hate on him. The coaching staff figured things out and we move on.

**** me. somehow ****ed up and gave you a neg rep. My bad.

Played out the way i imagined. CEH sucking sped up the process a tick

He's had many chances to be the guy and he just hasn't been good enough. He's not worthless but not that guy.

This is your best post on CP. Balanced and thoughtful.

The Chiefs have rescinded their commitment to Clyde

MEH

:clap:

Glad CEH is on the bench where he belongs

So much this. So glad the coaches have done the right thing and moved him down the depth chart. He may be useful at some point in that role.

Unlike...ahem...some people, let me announce here, in public, for all of you to hear:

I was wrong on Clyde. Just flat wrong. Now, maybe it was the injuries, and that could be it, but the fact of the matter is, he's just not very good.

I predicted he would have a big season, and I was wrong. I thought he would last year, too, but he got hurt. I was pretty sure he was going to be our Brian Westbrook.

But nope.

So I fully admit of my own freewill that I was incorrect in my accessment of Clyde's abilities.

So, Wallcrawler, you can take your gleeful victory lap. And I'll only mention this once more about your lofty predictions for Josh Gordon last year. Just the once. Just this once, will I mention it.

But I was wrong about Clyde.

*edit-
It was not Wallcrawler on the Josh Gordon train. It was someone else. Perhaps Tribal Warfare? I no longer remember and I'm not sifting through a bunch of posts from last year to find it.

That takes guts. Very commendable.

https://media2.giphy.com/media/2mxA3QHH4aHFm/giphy.gif

Agreed. He's still an important player (3rd most receiving TDs this season), but he's not THE guy (and doesn't have to be, fortunately).

What the **** are you talking about?

Please quote any prediction I made about Josh Gordon.

The only shit Ive given anyone here about Clyde, is Rasputin, who hailed him as the next Priest Holmes, if you could possibly imagine that unfathomable level of stupidity being possible. At last report, his fingers are suing his brain for non support for that post.


Think you're confused, and no need for a victory lap being right about something so obvious that only a select few here had trouble grasping.

My bad-I think maybe it was Tribal Warfare with the Gordon predictions? Doesn't matter.

You and 99.9999999999% of Chief's fan.

I do like how after every Chiefs game there are so many fantasy nerds on twitter complaining about him getting no snaps and trying to use stats from 2 games this season to say he's actually decent and being let down by Andy Reid.

About time he got benched only being asking for this for 2 years. Sorry CEH you just aren't very good.

in our system*

I think he would be good in other systems that let him run down hill. The fact he is taking handoffs out of shot gun might effect him.

He is to slow and can't read holes. Plus didn't he take handoffs from shotgun with Burrow at LSU?

oh yeah he definitely did

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdX7VMOo55Y

Yikes - that's rough.

But in the end, Pacheco is a better runner and Jet is a better pass-catcher and pass-blocker.

So apart from pure tendency breaking, what does MEH bring to the table?

Three headed committees only work if your committee sucks. With Pacheco and McKinnon, you have the bases covered for a genuine RBBC - ultimately MEH just doesn't have a role.

It's been a long-time coming.

I'm betting his long-term role is as a backup for a team that has a true 3-down back. Because MEH doesn't appear to have any standout strengths, but his weaknesses are pretty nominal as well. If you have him as a pure backup rather than part of a committee, he might still bring some value.

Think of him as a 6th starter type in a pitching rotation. His stuff isn't good enough to play up out of the bullpen in a specialist role. Nor is it good enough to be a genuine top 5 SP. He's there for long-relief stints and to play a larger role in the case of an injury. The specialists in the 'pen can't do that job as well as MEH could, nor could he do their job terribly well.

He's just a guy with an awfully narrow path to success at this point.

No sale.

This is EXACTLY the kind of system he should excel in. It's more similar to his college offense than anything you'll find in the league.

System is 100% not the problem for him. He's just a guy without any stand-out tools.

It always amazes me how many people tell me "hey I'm starting CEH this week what do you think?". I'm always like are you paying attention. He does get his tds I suppose but the national opinion of this guy, from both fans and media, is much higher than ours is and that's putting it lightly lol.

I have no hate for CEH and hope he can still contribute the rest of the year when he does play. They tried, he tried and it is what it is. P-dawg has more speed, vision and is more physical.

Doesn't this trend feel like its headed toward Ronald Jones being activated this week or next? I mean they clearly like the production they are getting from McKinnon and Pacheco and unless Jones is redundant to either of those two it would make sense to activate him.

I doubt Rojo gets activated. If anything, Pacheco's increased workload means they don't plan on bringing him in.

Exactly. Pacheco and Jones fill largely the same role.

When CEH was getting the majority of the snaps he was getting decent fantasy production....I was trying like hell to trade for him. I'm hoping Pacheco's fantasy production catches his snap count soon

The thing that stands out to me is in his rookie year he looked like he had talent, enough to be a solid RB.

Now it looks like his talent just vanished, he looks like he has the talent of a UDFA from a tiny school.

Maybe the hip injury left permanent damage

Not that it’s a question but the guy is 1 million % gone. He wasn’t even in KC today. He was in NY. It’s on his IG stories

That’s kinda petty as he’s still gonna get a ring that he did nothing to earn in the playoffs.

Kindve lame not to celebrate with the teammates but ya he's gone and will always be a wasted pick.

71 carries for 302 yards, with a 4.25 ypc and 3 early season touchdowns means he absolutely earned a ring, and should've been there to get his

We're ALL disappointed you didn't make the impact we all wanted, but you deserved the honor of being there and refused... well, bye

Welcome to Atlanta, or someone elses shithole 2023 season as a rotational jag

We are trading him. Nate mentioned it on one of the Times Ours podcasts or something a while back.

Not sure what we are going to get in return; a ST player that can turn into something (Arenas? Charcandrick?), or a 6th round pick?

He also has 3 receiving TDs, so 6 total.

Sucks it didn't work out for him. I'll never really understand why we drafted him when we never really took full advantage of his pass catching which seemed to be the main reason of taking him over the other RBs in the draft.

Good luck in the future, I guess.

I get that he’s probably bummed… but that’s lame. Rojo and Melvin were annoyed they got zero playing time, but they’re here and having a blast from the looks of it. And as they should be

Well~bye

This was in all likelihood his only chance at a superbowl parade. I would've thought he'd be a part of that no matter what. Someone must have really pissed in his Wheaties

Nate Taylor said last week that Clyde expected to play and have Carrie’s in the superbowl. I imagine when he was inactive that was a shot to the pride. Then Pacheco ended up being the engine that made the offense go.

Good riddance to MEHHHH.

if Brett Beach can get a 7th round pick for that turd it will make up for drafting him.

Look, there have been moments in my life when I get overshadowed by people who do a way better job than I do. Sometimes it's because they worked harder, but sometimes it's because they just are better.

That's ****ing life, man. And if you're a giant mopey bitch who quits every time you get tossed aside by somebody better, you're going to be stuck in low-risk dead end positions. It really is a life skill to be able to celebrate team success even with a significantly smaller role than you're used to.

I don't hate the guy or anything, but this last action by him no longer has me wondering if he could have been better if we had used him differently. Now I just no longer ****ing care. We've got Pacheatcode, McKinnon is just another cheap contract away, and we've got 11 draft picks to keep finding more RBs. Bye Clyde.

Suck it MEHHHHH…

Amazing that MELVIN GORDON was soaking it all in while a dude who legitimately played a huge role in two of our critical early wins this season (Home vs LA and @ Tampa) moped in NY in comparison.

Sucks, dude. Wonder if there will ever be a time he regrets that move.

I knew he was going to be a bust from the beginning but I tried to keep the faith. I wanted Taylor or Swift. In hindsight Higgins would have been the best pick.

Swift can’t stay healthy, Taylor’s been banged up and sure didn’t look the same when that line had some turnover. He still wasn’t the right pick but it doesn’t look as bad as we get a fuller picture.

I was surprised Clyde was inactive for the SB with Jones being active, and I’m sure he was hurt by being a healthy scratch. Hope it works out for him somewhere else.

Dude gets a ring and has to be a whiney bitch. Good riddance.

I wish he had been better. He wasn't.

The video clip in the Sky Moore thread is the first time i noticed Clyde on the side lines for the SB,or maybe i just hadnt seen him before. Just seems silly he wouldnt attend the Parade,with who were his teammates,i mean if the Chiefs let him go/trade him,chances are he'll never experience that again.

He skip the parade because he was salty re being inactive?

Man, **** that guy.

Difference is Taylor would have been a complementary piece in KC not run into the ground like the Colts did as they have a limited air attack. Here he might not have suffered wear and tear injuries.

**** that guy and can't wait until you are gone.

I dont disagree, but hes not the full on world beater like he appeared to be last year. He's a good RB, not elite imo.

Anybody know what his career long run is? How many times has he cracked a 20-yarder? Once? Twice?
