Like i said before, skill wise, an OBJ that lost a step is basically Hopkins.
What are we talking about here, man?
Generational talent? Nah. You've gotta be on the field for that to be the case. Dude has played over 14 games half the seasons he's been in the league. Now he's 30, coming off another big lower body soft tissue injury.
Hopkins has been a HOF'er. He is probably starting to break down, so I wouldn't be too upset if they passed.
I'd prob say no to both for much money at this point. [Reply]

Absolutely a generational talent. Absolutely.
Dude got traded to the Browns where players go to die, made his resurgence with the Rams PROVING he's still a gamer, and then had an unfortunate 2nd ACL tear due to the first surgery being botched.
If you seriously don't think this man was a generational talent i'd advise you go back and re-familiarize yourself with his body of work. [Reply]

This isn't JJSS losing a step....this is like...Tyreek Hill losing a step....'cept with much better hands and body control.
I think part of it is that KC simply hasn't had a WR like either OBJ or Hopkins in, well, maybe ever. The best WR we've had in recent memory is obviously Hill, but he doesn't fit the prototypical mold of WR, so there's not much basis for comparison. A lot of these posters think OBJ/DHop would be nothing more than a slower Tyreek. There doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for great hands, huge catch radius, exceptional body control, elite level route-running, etc. But those are things the Chiefs haven't had in ages, so it's maybe something like 'ignorance is bliss.' Often it's as simple as people don't know what they're missing. [Reply]

This is probably because Payton saw how Perine did vs. KC in the regular season matchup last year. But I doubt DEN OL is as good as CIN OL when they were all healthy. [Reply]
