I'm not saying I don't like McKinnon, I absolutely do and hope they resign him, because then that specific role is filled. Otherwise, you replace him with someone who may not thrive as much. I'm just saying if he thought there would be league wide interest, he was kidding himself. The league knows that anyone playing in KC's offense is going to look better than they actually are. It's been proven time and again.

CEH couldn't. Darrel Williams couldn't. McKinnon was no scrub before he got here. He was just injury plagued. He was voted as an offensive captain as well. While the system helps, McKinnon's skill also played a huge role in his success here.
