I'd say it helps you deal with the aches and pains of the season but if your using it before the game, you're an idiot.
Might help with anxiety maybe help you find the "zone" but enhanced speed, reflexes , motor it does not. [Reply]

Clearly we need to add some talent. Hope he works out.
Never hurts to add more talent, but he won't fix what ails this team. KC should and would be 3-0 if they stopped turning the ball over at a prolific rate and at the wrong times. They fix that and they can overcome some of the other issues, but having a healthy Gordon does make this team more lethal on offense. [Reply]

well sorry to break it to you - but not only do you not know - nobody knows exactly how this addition will impact KC's offense. Let it play out... [Reply]

He's not a panacea that fixes all issues on the team, but if he's a solution to one of them (difficulty beating tight man press coverage), that's one fewer to worry about.
Having a large, physical receiver with some speed who can catch the ball in tight windows and wall guys off on slants and digs can only help.
Hopefully he has some things left in the tank and gives them another option when teams are pressing up. [Reply]

I’m cautiously excited. Not gonna suspend him for weed so stay off the PEDs and it’s all about catching TDs.
Jesus the protection and pocket at 1:00 is ridiculous. Would love to see Patrick get that kind of pass pro. [Reply]

Would be nice to not have to rely on gimmicks in the red zone, I love a shovel pass to a o- linemen as much as the next guy but sometimes I rather go traditional. [Reply]

I love a shovel pass to Remmers. Awesome play and I'd like to see more plays like it. When we're up 35-10 with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter... [Reply]

I’d love to see some of those 4 TE sets in the red zone. [Reply]

Agreed. Having him can't hurt. It won't fix our biggest issues, but any additional talent is a plus. Again, we are far closer to 3-0 than many people think. We haven't been blown out at all this year. Since the 4th QTR of the Ravens game we have 5-6 turnovers (can't remember which quarter in the Ravens game Mahomes threw the INT). Hard to won like that, and even in spite of it we still could have won both those games.
Bringing in Gordon is a Veach move and I fully believe he would have done it even if we were 3-0. We did it with Bell last year even when we finished with the best record in the NFL. [Reply]
