Which is the better option, or easier course of action;
1) Find another Center in free agency or the draft who can deliver the ball perfectly from the shotgun to Mahomes’ chest right between his numbers, but is average at best, but likely a mediocre blocker on either runs or passing. OR 2) Have the best blocking Center we’ve had in 20 years that combines the best of Casey Weigman with Tim Grunhard into one dude, but needs to work on his shotgun snaps for the reigning Super Bowl Champion Chiefs? If you’re conflicted, go watch — really watch — Creed in both run and pass blocking from any game in the playoffs. He neutralizes pass rushers and removes people from the TV screen on runs. If he gets his hands on you, you’re done son. |

Again. An elite center for an Andy Reid offense is like paying for a Ferrari and not driving it. We don't do the tush push. We don't do QB sneaks. We run from shotgun alllloooot (so actually a centers ability to be a good snapper is even more important there), we are always Top 5-Top 10 in pass percentage, we aren't a power running team. We don't even WANT to EVER pay for an elite center. Planning to walk on Creed will make our decisions to pay Jones, Sneed, Bolton, Tranquil, Reid etc much easier. If you need to walk from Creed in order to sign one of those, you do it and you fist pump while you are doing it.

i don't think creed's going anywhere. also, aren't super bowl balls usually slicker? i've heard players complain about them in the past. that may have been part of the problem.

wtf just happened? Are people actually lobbying to get rid of Creed? He's probably the best Center in football not named Kelce, and he's 24 yrs old on a rookie contract.
You can't make this shit up.

Dude has been a top 5 center all 3 years he's been in the league and we want to let him go because he had some low snaps this year?

But, forcing Mahomes to take his eyes off the defense to just field a snap is a very bad thing and needs to be corrected by week 1 next year. He’s been playing at the highest level in college and the pros. If it was a big or inert issue, we’d know by know.

You can’t create or develop what Creed is as a blocker and pass protector. You can fix his snaps. Creed is an incredible player. He’ll fix it. I don’t think Mahomes will let it remain an issue.

It seems this happens when he goes against much better d-lines, and it almost appears he is actually more concerned about getting to his block first before making sure the ball is getting snapped accurately. Just my theory.

Regardless of the snaps, you let him go because there is simply no reason the Chiefs and their system should ever want to pay the market price of a top center. If we draft a center and they become a top center, sure that is ideal, but we sure as **** shouldn't ever pay for it.

Right. If he was an average center getting average money I'd rather pay for that. You don't pay for a Ferrari to have it sit in the garage all the time. We don't benefit from having an elite center based on the system we run and the amount we pass. You are getting less utility per dollar than other teams would. There is no reason for us to ever, ever pay an elite center elite center money. Now Philadelphia? Yeah, they should absolutely pay an elite center and yearn to do so.
