I thought people were stupid when they said his potential is Steve Smith.
But I'll be damned. He's getting open and running great routes. He's an actual WR, and not just a gadget guy who can't help the offense unless the play is designed to go his way.
With Mahomes, he absolutely could turn into Steve Smith. That's no longer out of the question. In fact, it's a decent probability [Reply]

No reason for them to not connect on 20+ deep balls a season. [Reply]

Only 20? I think Alex has come close to about 15 with him this year. I think Mahomes will change the dynamic of the way WR's are used in this offense. [Reply]

He deserves to be paid well. He kept himself clean off the field, and been a good teammate. Everyone knew he had the talent to do these things on the field, but he's obviously made the right decisions since his incident. [Reply]

Thing that stands out to me is how he can adjust to the ball. Smith underthrows him on most of the deep balls and he still manages to catch most of them.
Part of it might be that the corner on him is just like “OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK” running as fast as he can and not worrying about the ball but if you can catch a view on his long balls he blows by a dude, finds the ball, slows way the fuck down while the defender is trying to find his dick, catches it then goes about making fools look silly.
If Mahomes can get him the ball when he’s open there is going to be a shitload of cover 2 and 3 with the safeties back.
Hill went over the 1000 yard mark tonight and now stands at 1074 yards with 2 games to go. I'm trying to remember. Was is Kenison that last had those kind of numbers at WR for the Chiefs? Also, there was some thread recently about the Chiefs having a good chance at having 3 players over 1000 yards this season. Hunt was first there and now has 1201 rushing. Hill made it tonight, and Kelce is barely short right now at 991 yards. And let's not forget Smith. 3748 yards now. 4000 yards is pretty likely for him now, barring injury of course. Actually, if you add in his 342 yards running, Smith has already produced 4000 yards this year. It's nice to see that kind of production out of our offense again. The defense has been better lately too. Maybe this team can make some noise in the playoffs this year. [Reply]
