I was gonna stop with just saying this is bullshit, but I can't.
There's literally not a single true thing in this statement.
Hill in 2021: 11.2 yards per catch. The vertical game essentially gone. He'd basically been reduced to a gadget player by defensive philosophy. a TON of manufactured touches. Very little vertical success. Did you even watch this past season?!
So all vertical threats, like Pringle and Robinson? What bullshit is this? You had ONE vertical threat that is no longer here, and that's Hill, and defenses had basically decided they would let us do ANYHTING but get the ball to Hill vertically.
And so what do we have now?
MVS, who is basically a vertical ONLY player.
Juju, who's a lot more than a horizontal guy, look at how many 40 yard TD's the guy has.
Hardman, who was here all along.
Moore, who's an extremely polished route runner.
but yeah, we've totally got a room full of gadgets guys.
Yeah haha. I don’t actually care. But this is the first time I’ve actually had a reaction to a player doing something different. DE or LB wants a single digit number? Don’t mind. But seeing 24 at WR is weird [Reply]

We didn’t have all vertical threats.
Hardman is still Hardman
MVS isn’t a gadget player, the best thing about him is his deep threat ability
JJSS is a horizontal possession receiver. Watkins was also a possession receiver who made his money over the middle (he could still go deep but he rarely got open on go-routes)
Pringle wasn’t a deep threat. Robinson occasionally got open deep because he was covered by the other teams CB4. Skyy Moore would appear to have better route running and hands than Robinson
KC has two speed receivers (MVS and Mecole) along with two more horizontal l, possession receivers. This is without mentioning Kelce, and of course the QB and HC who will be responsible for getting these guys the ball with their unrivalled creativity [Reply]
Maybe already said in the thread, but interesting that Tyreek Hill was first a RB in college and wore #24 at OK State, and same position change and original number for Skyy Moore in Kalamazoo. [Reply]

After looking at some things will you guys correct me if I'm wrong? My thoughts:
I mean pickens was my guy and they rejected him flat out. Same with Nakobe Dean. So I have to think they rejected him so what is it about Skyy Moore that they felt comfortable trading down? Assuming it wasn't for Pierce.
Well I will say personally it's one: he catches EVERYTHING with those huge hands so that's why he was a cornerback and they were like okay you need to switch positions with those hands. two: he gets open constantly and Mahomes will find him better than his shitty QB did. three: he doesn't need to be a deep threat, he needs to be our terry mclaurin. Make catches, move the chains
With skyy moore he hasn't been a receiver very long. Like Hill when he came out. Maybe they see upside as he's real young and inexperienced and still gets open all the time which is my #1 thing with receivers who play with Mahomes.
Saw this negative review and scoffed:

Western Michigan QB and offensive line facing Aidan Hutchinson and Ojabo and you blame it on the wide receiver not producing enough lmao [Reply]

Im guessing he had the Wr's ranked as Moore,Pickens, Pierce, in that order and was fine with any of them, if it meant getting a 5th rounder. [Reply]

Yeah exactly. But we'll never know what order he had them in or if anyone else like Thornton was in the mix.
Moore better be better than Pickens, Pierce and Thornton, or he's going to get the Hardman/Metcalf treatment for his whole career. [Reply]
