In order for him to approach his ceiling he's got to start getting better. He didn't. There's no reason at all to expect that he will. It's not like we cut Joe Horn or anything.

He is just as capable as Copper on ST

Now you're just making shit up. What's next? If the Chiefs had kept Verran Tucker, you would have won the lottery?

and Colbert is just the most reeruned pick up ever.

Apparently not.

**** Copper I'm tired of his ST play always getting him by every year and the mediocrity he shows at the receiving position.

I don't speak fluent reerun, but I'll try to decipher what you wrote.
Copper never "gets by". He is and has always been a lock to make the roster in all of Haley's seasons due to his ability on special teams. That's why he's on the roster and why he won't be taken out unless we find a younger player more adept at special teams than he is. His role on the team has never been molded as a 4th WR or go-to guy. He's a veteran who does his job, and sometimes contributes on offense as a blocking WR. If he gets lucky, he will get a few table scraps here and there.
Quit dreaming of the Chiefs finding the next Miles Austin. Tucker is not that guy. Neither will it be any of their undrafted receivers for a long time. That kind of player is a RARITY. It doesn't happen very ****ing often. Get used to it. Copper is actually worth something to the team. Therefore, he stays.
