so are those patrick's actual MVPS or replicas?
[Reply]

Damn he’s fast stopping and changing direction out of his cuts.

I think the NFL allows for multiple trophies. I believe I’ve seen players with a Lombardi.
[Reply]

The players get their own smaller replica of the Lombardi. Theres only 1 real thing, and it's in that case.

Don't know about MVP trophies though.

Worthy is quick but it's a damn shame that his career as Chief will always be compared to Tyreek's abilities and accolades

Patrick's SB LVIII MVP isn't in the case
[Reply]

If he's even 70% the production of Tyreek at his peak with 0% of his nonsense, Chiefs fans aren't going to bother talking about that loud-mouthed loser
[Reply]

Tyreek is 1 of 1. But has baggage. If Worthy can be counted on to be a consistent and complementary piece to the offense, he'll workout well, and make his own name for himself.

Meh. Rice isn’t. Rice was the first real long term shot at replacing Hill. (well I guess Skyy was by I’m trying to forget that kid).

Worthy comes in here and rapes faces and wins Bowls, we’ll love Worthy for Worthy. Only a retarded minority will constantly compare him to Hill.

And if he avoids BOUNCING A PERFECT PASS OFF HIS FUCKING FACEMASK IN THE SUPER BOWL that can only help.

Going back thru the thread, wanted to discuss here.

I don't think Pat has ever really upped his deep ball accuracy for some reason. Some of it is the guys he was throwing to, but he's always seemed to kinda struggle. I think he throws it on a line too much.

Saw this in an article at ESPN regarding impressions from college coaches on where players went in the draft.

The first round ended with a flurry of wide receivers, which drew different reviews from coaches. The Kansas City Chiefs traded up with the Buffalo Bills to draft Texas speedster Xavier Worthy, who set an NFL combine record by running the 40-yard dash in 4.21 seconds but also struggled with drops at times during his career with the Longhorns.

"He's a helluva player, and Kansas City's a good fit for him as well," a Big 12 defensive assistant said. "In that system, in that scheme, they have some possession receivers; you can't ask for a better situation for him."

A Big 12 defensive coordinator added of Worthy: "I'm not sure why Buffalo didn't want him. He's not super physical, but the guy can freaking fly."

"He's not your traditional receiver who runs routes," a power-conference defensive coordinator said. "He can do a multitude of things with his skill set. Patrick Mahomes has to throw a 3-yard pass, he can make a guy miss, and all of a sudden, you've got a 20-yard gain. You know with running backs, you have scat-backs? He's the scat-receiver."

Please let some moronic team try and press him...one step and it's a wrap.

This idea that he'd be static at the line and just take the press is so silly...actually, this entire argument about pressing him is.

Yeah, I mean I think it's fair to say that just about nobody is truly 'good' at that. Wilson was at his apex. Goff is pretty good at it now.

But the difference between mediocre and good is hitting on, what, 3 or 4 more of those in a given year? The sample sizes are so small.

Let's just say for the sake of easy math that Mahomes throws 1.1/gm - 18/yr.

If only 40% of those are balls that should be caught - that's 7 of 'em. If Goff throws 60% on those it's 11. That's 4 more balls over the course of an entire season that end up catchable.

And if of those 7 you end up with the WR just duffing 5 of them whereas the "Goff Group" brings in 70ish% of the catchable balls, now you're looking at 7 catches vs. 2 on the Mahomes group.

The gap between Mahomes and a good deep ball thrower may be substantially but not ultimately likely to be hugely relevant IF he gets representative performance from his WRs. If both groups give you about a 70% success rate you get 5 catches on Mahomes 7 'good' balls and about 8 catches on Goff's 11 'good' balls.

3 catches over the course of a year. It's not nothing, but it's not something that can't easily be made up elsewhere.

But he needs 'representative' in his success rates. With MVS and Hardman he wasn't really getting that.

These are sexy quotes.
[Reply]

Some of the NFL exec quotes are nice too.


“Kansas City is going to light people up with that kid,” an exec said of Worthy. “He’s a little, fast guy, and you think he’s a track guy, but he’s tough, finishes runs, fast, disciplined. He has a nice all-around game.”
