Why haven't we cut Skyy Moore?

[Womble]

He ****ing sucks.

I just don't understand it.

Skyy Less working on his footwork when he has the worst hands in the history of NFL pass catchers.

[RealSNR]

His hands are fine. He just couldn’t find the ****ing ball if you drew him a goddamn map.

[RINGLEADER]

It would be great if he’s able to do something. But it’s been apparent almost from the first moment he took the field, that he’s tentative, slow, and unsure of himself. He doesn’t play scared, he plays absolutely terrified.

That said he had a great sideline catch in his first pre-season game, a good punt return against the Bengals in the championship game, and managed to not drop the go ahead TD in the Super Bowl. He’ll always have those plays.

The only statement I want to hear from Skyy Moore this year is "Goodbye Kansas City"

It’s no “Jon Baldwin running at night” video.

The thing I really dislike about this sort of training vid, it just all looks horribly one paced. He's going to do about 3 or 4 of these "fast as I can" steps and then go. No change of pace, no variety in footwork, no real use of the head and shoulders to fake.

I was happy with the pick at the time. I honestly didn't think a player could unlearn things, but he genuinely looks worse than he did in college. A horrible pick it turns out, and a player that has regressed from a pretty low bar.

Wish him the best, I'd love him to turn into something, but man he looks horrible.

Not a great route runner

Small

Not fast



When I watched his college tape I didn't like it but my only thought was if he is going to do anything in the NFL he has to win in the first 5 yards.

And it turned out he couldn't do that either...

I thought he had a decent 10y burst which he does...but it's purely linear. The lateral agility just isn't there. That's what I completely underestimated, or I guess overestimated. I also thought his YAC looked good. Nope. Partly because it turns out not even Andy Reid could manufacture touches for him. Quite literally impossible to get him the ball.

Sad really. I was really pulling for him

There were not a lot of great WR's that draft in the 2nd and beyond.


There were fans of Pickens but we traded down. I think Veach wanted Thornton who the Patriots took and looks like a Mecole style WR.

I wanted Khalil Shakir from Boise State. He just played like a dog when the ball was in the air.

The guy has 1 year left. They were never going to cut him before his rookie deal expires.

He doesn't look worse - he's just playing real competition.

He hasn't regressed - he was just a bad pick propped up by using shit technique to dust grocery baggers.

Take the right lessons from the exercise. He was a bad prospect from the jump.

I'll leave it at this...

I remember you were one of the ones who advocated cutting him early and so was I.

What I don't get is why the Chiefs keep him around when he should have been cut years ago.

Detox and I were the two loudly insisting we never should have drafted him.

I've taken some losses but by god this is about as clear a W as have ever existed.

Skyy Moore is going to be a good WR.

I promise.

He also started popping to us in the late 1st in the mock drafts right before the actual draft.


Skyy Moore is climbing!
