It’s about to be June aka the worst year for football of the year, so let’s try to get things going with some good conversation.

We usually do this but this year it’s really interesting bc of the 2nd year candidates and amount of rookies we drafted.

Let’s see who ya got fellas (poll incoming)

Obvious answer would be Skyy. Mcduffie, Karlaftis, Cook, Chenal, Watson, Pacheco....that was such a damn good draft we had last year that I can't wait to see what year 2 brings from them.

Wisconsin_Chief · 05-26-2023, 08:33 AM

Pacheco and Skyy are the two most likely, but since I'd argue Pacheco has already proven himself I'll go with Skyy. He's working his ass off and I'd be willing to wager he'll catch more passes than any WR on the roster, including Toney. I think Mahomes will come to lean on him quite a bit. I love the way he snatches the ball out of the air. He's going to be huge for us.

Zebedee DuBois · 05-26-2023, 08:34 AM

I think Pacheco already broke out.
I think Skyy showed flashes towards the end of the season, and I would be pleased as punch if he tore it up this year.
I expect all of our players will have good years. They are Chiefs, which is a great indicator of excellence.

RunKC · 05-26-2023, 08:35 AM

Gonna go with Karlaftis.

5.5 of his 6 sacks, 1 postseason sack, 7 of his 11 QB hits and 42% of his total pressures came after week 10.

Per RGR Karlaftis had a conversion rate (pressures to sacks) of .2 in weeks 1-10 and that skyrocketed to 28% after week 10.

He really started to figure the game out as the year went on and I love that he’s working with Tamba on his technique. Omenihu and Felix will also help him a lot.

I think he gets 10 sacks this year

Skyy, I hope.

Came here to post this. If he continues his developmental trend, Furious Gorge will be a problem for bitches.

For me Kadarius Toney doesn't really have any questions about his game on the field. We know he is extremely talented, the only barrier for him for having a monster season and setting career numbers is if he can stay healthy. He has extra motivation as he is going to need to put some seasons together if he wants a significant second contract.

As fans we forget that these are 20 something year old kids who need to figure out life on top of professional football. Diet, lifestyle, style of training etc. I think Toney has the best chance to breakout this season.

oldman · 05-26-2023, 08:51 AM

It has to be Karlaftis. Dude came on strong at the end of the season and he's had a full year to gain strength and improve his technique.

Vodka man!
Try leaving the alcohol to age for at least three months (tough, we know!) and then take some out, dilute to drinking ABV and taste it. You may find it's acceptable to drink, however, try to age it for longer as you will see amazing changes happen at 6 months, 12 months, and even longer.May 19, 2022

ToxSocks · 05-26-2023, 09:55 AM

Probably Karlaftis. But i voted Toney because im hoping and wishing and stuff.

Skyy God · 05-26-2023, 09:57 AM

Skyy.

Not rattling his confidence returning punts will be key.
