Patrick Mahomes is going to have a lot of fun throwing to Skyy Moore. Wins right off the line with great hands. Lots of smiles in Kansas City.

At this point, there’s just not a lot he’s showing he can bring to the table.

Those are the two times this year I've screamed "Catch the fucking ball!" at the TV.

I think we win both games if this turd makes a play.

Anybody catches that pass. He was wide open. Nobody near him. In fact, the DB was running away from him. Hell, most of us catch that pass.

Any idea why it's not translating in NFL?

I remember this board was ecstatic when we picked him.

The board was split. Some of us hated it. I think most of the Skyy apologists finally get it now.

I was one of them. In college his YAC was very good, excellent hands and he seemed to get good, quick separation. What I was wrong about was...everything. He can't shake guys without a lot of time and movement, he's more affected by press than I imagined, he can't track the ball which seems an entirely new thing and a regression, and he is far less dynamic after the catch. He's a bust.

Yeah, I've seen enough.

Moore is a 'miss'.

It's time to end the experiment and move him way down the pecking order.

I wasn't crazy about him as a prospect, but I let myself be talked into the advanced metrics such as the 'success rate' stuff in the OP.

Perhaps he's just not mentally tough enough, I don't know.

It's time to simplify things, and play Rice most snaps.

Yesterday, Rice had more snaps than any receiver not named Kelce. What he needs is 2 things:

1. More Targets from the O (he only had 5 targets yesterday. MVS had 9 with virtually the same number of yards)
2. Stop dropping passes that hit you in the gawdamn hands

His drops suck,

But he's been way more consistent than any other WR. I'll take drops if hes getting yards on the catches he does have.
