Paging a Lamar-bonics translator.

If you think in a key moment in the game Andrews is pulling Sneed away from an actual threat, I think you're wrong.

I just cited an example of a player who had the same injury and then came back and put up a monster game. It's clearly not impossible, so how could Spagnuolo have the confidence to say with certainty that the all pro tight end is a gimp and should be ignored? That's a pretty risky proposition sight unseen. Spagnuolo has no more information than you or I about Andrews' status except that he has been a full participant in practice and has to be accounted for as if he's going to be active. You're hand waving Mark Andrews away in a fashion that I'm sure no one in the Chiefs' building can afford to do. So even if Andrews doesn't actually have nine catches for 122 yards, he has to be gameplanned for.

TO is a HOF player… Mark Andrews is not.

JFC you Ravens fans have no game… try harder.

This is a lot of posturing for a dude I bet ends up being inactive anyway. If he is active, we shall see how it plays out but I bet you I'm right and Spags sees through the window dressing decoy that Andrews will be if he's out there Sunday. I'll be right here to admit I was wrong if Andrews does anything, even as a decoy, that actually effects the outcome.

Well then we damn well know Travis Kelce wouldn't be either given that Andrews had more touchdowns than Kelce in his ten games to Kelce's 15 and Andrews had a higher yards per target than Kelce.

1. LaPorta/Kittle
2. LaPorta/Kittle
3. Likely
4. Andrews
5. Kelce

Guess you're right, Andrews isn't in the top three.

And yet every team in the league would still take Kelce over Mark Andrews.

Including the Ravens.

That's a weird statement. Andrews is a pretty damn good player in the current NFL. Certainly a valuable player in the Ravens offense.

Hold on....let me make sure you understand me so I don't write you off as a total jabroni (when I actually think, IMO, you've been the most civil and engaging Ravens fan here.....)

I'm saying, you are a GM drafting a team to play this weekend, pulling from the player pool you have from the 4 remaining teams. You are drafting TEs and you have the first choice in said TEs.

Look me in the internet eye and tell me with a straight face you are not taking Travis Kelce with that pick.

I guarantee the Ravens would not. Andrews and Lamar have as strong of a connection as Mahomes and Kelce do. Kelce is 34. All due respect to one of the best to ever do it, but the Ravens would not make that trade straight up.

Holy shit! I was wrong I guess. You are, indeed, a total jabroni.

Doesn’t mean he has the ability to come back and have the same impact that TO had after a major ankle injury.

TO had 9 catches for 122 yards receiving in his return from a major ankle injury.

Are you suggesting that Andrews will have anything close to that type of performance if he plays Sunday?

How many Super Bowls has Lamar/Andrew’s “strong connection” won?

How many playoff games?
