I suppose playing behind two potential HOFers could be frustrating as a non-HOFer. You might be open, but unless you are “college football open”, the ball is probably going to Hill or Kelce. Agreed about Juju. Could have been fun! [Reply]

Butthurt? Too easy to comment on that..............

I've always said, asking God to intervene so that we can get a top #2 WR over curing cancer or something like that is the sign of a true fan.

As long as Hill and Kelce are on this team, they will be the main targets. As they should be. [Reply]

Don’t think Chiefs have gotten great LB play since Spags got here. Having Gay step up would give them a star at all 3 levels at a position that is likely to make more splash plays. On the other hand, I don’t know how you stop the offense if they have elite interior line play and can run the ball at a much more efficient clip. Thoughts?
Gay. Our LB core is weak at the moment. Him stepping up would be a huge win for this team. [Reply]

I agree in the sense that it would be hard to lure a true #1 WR because of that, but Watkins numbers would have been significantly higher had he actually played more than half the games. His inability to stay healthy meant that he couldn't be counted on as much as a true threat week in and week out. When he was healthy in the playoffs he was targeted quite a bit. [Reply]
