And James actually found the end zone. For all this talk about how 'reliable' JJSS was, he got in 3 times all season. That's actually pretty lousy for the #1 guy. [Reply]

Every team has questions. Ours has fewer than most, if not ALL of them.
And the one area where we have the most questions A) Has some really nice possible answers and B) Is the area on this team that the baddest man on the planet can do the most to help out.
It's a cap league - teams are SUPPOSED to have questions. But we're not appreciably worse off than we were a year ago when won the 'ship. [Reply]

Out of curiosity if they are that close why did one get a pretty substantial contract and the other get next to nothing, it's a fair question I think. [Reply]

And I'm not saying it won't largely be a non issue or anything like that, just on paper going into the year we probably come in at like 26 or 27 at WR in the league currently. [Reply]

I guess I'm not really getting the issue.
Yes, KC is still a contender. But isn't much of a margin or a lot of guarantees in the NFL.
If Toney is spending a lot if time injured, that can put more pressure on Kelce to stay in the game when you would rather see him do more load management.
Can Mahomes win with basically JAGs at WR. Yes, but he also takes more hits in order to do so and again the margin for winning gets reduced.
Sure, these are great problems to have compared to 31 other NFL teams.
But I rather suspect that Toney's health for the post season is going to be big, big, story line for a very good reason.
Ah, what am saying? Of course KC will just waltz into another SB appearance... [Reply]

Think we're positioned quite well comparatively to this point last year. [Reply]

lol, I'll probably just enjoy the season and watching them contend for another AFCCG appearance like they have every year Mahomes has started..... despite bad defense, or a bad offensive line, or more bad defense, or a few weeks where everything went wrong, or no Tyreek, or high ankle sprains, or the NFL being against the Chiefs at every turn, or....

"Start praying" but he isn't being a drama Queen :-) [Reply]

Yep. So I went and looked up his stats for last season and I overstated his TD's but he had 57 receptions (70 targets) and 4 TD's. He was the Giants leading WR though in both of those categories. He also had a QB that was middle of the pack in attempts (472) compared to Mahomes 648. [Reply]
