He won't have much early on in the way of stats.

First game probably go 4 for 20 or something.

The prediction I've seen is ready for WFT.

No reason he cannot be in for a small set of packages against the Bills. Even if he just runs slants everytime.

Good thing we have professional football coaches who will make that determination instead of you.

Thank you, on my phone. But Gordon has ARRIVED.

Suggs helped, without question. McCoy and Bell came into a situation at RB that is debatably different from what Gordon is entering with the Chiefs WR situation.

The Chiefs have a self-proclaimed "WR2 by committee" right now. That's not gonna cut it, especially when it appears teams have solved Tyreek and it's become apparent the offense is going to need 40+ points per game if February is the goal. If you have a guy like Gordon sitting there who can be had for cheap and possibly seize full control of that WR2 spot, then you have to take that chance. Period.

Nigga gone be hitting rehab first. Again.

I don't know why this is so hard for folks to understand...

Like I said, he could be ready but I wouldn't expect much in the way of stats.

Maybe 4 catches for 20 yards or something...

My thoughts after processing for a day:

- I love it. It's another ZRM (Zero Risk Move) by Veach.

- This offense, as dynamic as it already is, has a gaping hole at the X position, and Veach, Reid, and everyone else important knows this. It is why we went after WR's in FA.

- It's a champagne problem that only the best offense in the league has, but having a large, sure-handed WR is critical for us countering defenses in 3 ways:

1- It helps us counter the over-top coverage everyone has playing as of late, since PM will have to be focusing on what's available in front of the safeties. This is why Kelce has been such a great counter to Tyreek. Which leads me to point 2.

2- Because the high/low of Tyreek/Kelce has been so effing good, defenses are doubling Kelce and Tyreek and forcing us to go elsewhere, including to the run game (point 3). The counter for going elsewhere deep is that we have Mecole's speed. The counter for going elsewhere underneath isn't on the roster.... there's no one big enough, fast enough and sure-handed enough to rely on. Sammy was nice, but never available. Pringle, DRop & Kemp ain't it. Bell (too slow), Jody & Gray (too green) ain't it.

3 - Taking the ball out of PM's hands, and putting it in any one else's, is a win for the defense. Even if CEH was a top 3 RB, they're still taking it away from Pat (greatest ever to do it), so it's a win. CEH clearly isn't a top 3 RB, and has fumbled twice now, justifying what the defenses are doing. Having that last hole of a #2 underneath target (who, by the way, can also **** you up deep) filled is so huge for this offense.

In summary:
This offseason, we acted like the O-Line was the final piece Patrick needed to go HAM and break all the records. While it may have been the biggest piece (since it's a five-headed monster) that buys Patrick more time, it wasn't the final piece. The final piece is a large-bodied, sure-handed, fast target.

Is Gordon it? I hope so, but probably not given his history. Can he give us ~16 games until we can draft one or get one in FA next year?

If so, it's time to stunt on these hoes.

"If" he can get open and catch the ball like this, it will greatly benefit this offense . The kid had hands, separation at the LOS and speed in his prime. I will settle for 2 of those 3, hands and separations!

Getting somebody to go with Kelce to get open off the LOS is hugh in getting a quicker read/react release for Pat and keeping Pat upright from the pass rush!
[Reply]

yup

my concern from a career perspective he is 50% when targeted. However I don't know if that stat factors in bad throws
