As for the lack of playing time 3 weeks in, I've addressed that multiple times. If it's an ongoing issue throughout the season, then fine, but I don't suspect it will be, which is why I think a lot of the talk about his lack of snaps is a typical CP overreaction.

Do we once AGAIN need to clarify my position in re: Moore?
The part where I said the guy is likely to have a very good career? Like, 6-8 years and 4-5K yards with 400ish catches? Or where I comped him to Sterling Shepard with a shot at being Golden Tate?
King is 100% right - your issue is that you see any real time discussion or {gasp} criticism of a player as some wholesale dismissal of anything he'll ever be. And there were people trying to call this kid the best WR prospect in the !@#$ing draft and when I have the audacity to point out he wasn't among the first dozen taken for a reason, you feel honor bound to paint me into some corner. And
I'm the one that needs to dial it down a peg? Get the **** outta here with that.
I'm
begging the Chiefs to start the guy because I think this WR room is ass. And is that a good place to find ourselves? Oh hell no - asking a guy with obvious flaws to be the 'savior' of a contender as a rookie. But shit, if I bother to point out that Brett Veach assembled this WR room and put us in this position, that'll put your goddamn panties in a twist as well.
You will not allow criticism, no matter how tepid or how measured, of ANYONE associated with the Chiefs until such time as it becomes such an overwhelming consensus that you can either ride the wave or be swept away by it. Even when the criticism is literally nothing more than a snapshot analysis - which is almost exclusively what Detox and I have offered of Moore to this point while simultaneously voicing our hope and belief that there's more there to offer.
Its ludicrous. But keep on patting yourself on the back for being 'open-minded' I guess. I just don't understand why you feel as though you have some unassailable high ground here when anyone deigns to say "hey, this looks like a slot WR" or "man, he must be more raw than we thought if he's not seeing the field yet..." when there has been exactly ZERO evidence actually presented to this point by anyone to disprove either position.
