Why the Chiefs loved Xavier Worthy

Him and Rice should pair really well together. Hopefully Hollywood is back quick

Those 3, plus Kelce and Perine (plus Pacheco has evidently improved his pass-catching skills this offseason) are gonna be a real bitch to deal with.

I mean you can even toss Hardman in there for some of the gadget stuff to keep teams honest. Our 2 and 3 TE sets will be awfully dynamic in their own right.

This offense could be incredible. Like, "only held back by Andy not wanting to show his cards" kind of record-setting ability.

Pick your poison to the opposing defense. Literally. How do you want us to beat you today? Not so sure I can recall such a multi faceted offense. Possibly those New England offenses w Moss and Welker.

That 2013 Denver offense was pretty ridiculous.

Damryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Julian Thomas. That's 4,200 yards and 320 catches for their top 3 WRs and TE.

When your top 4 pass catchers AVERAGE 80 catches for 1,050 yards between them, you're pretty damn versaitle.

Hell, Moreno had 60 catches and 1,000 yards rushing. Their backup had another 600 rushing yards.

That offense was pretty ridiculous. There's a reason those fellas averaged 38 points/gm.

That's the rabbit you're chasing. It's probably the best offense I've ever seen over a regular season. They could beat you in so many different ways.

That was built on a scheme defenses hadn't really seen before to protect the loss of Manning's arm strength, it was everything coming together at once.

I've hated the Broncos my entire life but self-admittedly was always an enormous fan of Peyton Manning. Sitting back and watching that offense was primetime TV.

That being said, pretty remarkable that offense put up such ridiculous numbers. I may be a bit off here but if I remember correctly Demaryius Thomas was their clear #1 target and he was probably a borderline top 5ish receiver in the league. Welker was past his prime but still very good Decker and Julius Thomas were both upper tier WR2 and TE respectively. Manning just had it running like a machine. I think our offense (on paper) has more upside potential, lead by Mahomes in the absolute prime of his career. The combination of elite players (Kelce), combined with breakout potential (Rice), met with elite speed (Worthy, Hollywood) and finally veteran experience which Mahomes can lean on (Juju, Hardman, Watson) that is gonna be tough.

Manning designed an offense to cover for his limitations, he had lost arm strength from the neck surgery. So their offense involved a lot more rubbing and pick routes than any defense had ever seen before, no one knew how to deal with it.

If we're not counting Mahomes teams, I'd have to go with that 15-1 Vikings team back in the day, with Randy Moss, Cris Carter, and Robert Smith. I thought Culpepper was the QB, but it was actually Randall Cunningham, who absolutely should be in the Hall of Fame.

The mix of speed, power and intelligence is just ****ing fantastic. It has so much potential.

And now they have Juju to take some snaps off Kelce when he needs a break. So 2 guys (Juju/Rice) in the middle who can constantly win in the middle of the field as well as 2 absolute burners outside in Hollywood/Worthy.

Imagine if Wiley is half as good as we think he can be? Even if he has a few plays a game where he makes a play. That’s just more fire added to a goddamn flamethrower

Noah Gray supposedly has been a favorite among the team this year as a receiving threat. I think its possible he gets a lot more time while they slow play Wiley.

Pacheco also spent the offseason trying to be more of a receiver out of the backfield RB.

Theres a lot of things to be excited about this year.

Literally my ONLY concern about this offense.
