You think the Chiefs are going to put a player like Justyn Ross on screen as much as they did only to cut him and try to sneak him onto the goddamn practice squad?

He's up against the roster crunch. Rice isn't. He's had to fight through injuries. Rice hasn't (knock on wood). And that point has spawned this other great discussion about how good Ross actually was his first two years in college. We're not doing that with Rice because who gives a shit... his college production was consistent and solid and then he saw a large jump his senior year as the team depended on him as the vet. That's a good thing and something that you should expect with a 2nd round pick investment.
Here's the other thing about Rice, at least for me. I have low expectations for him this year. I think many fans do. That's not saying we think he sucks, it's recognizing that he's a rookie. If he breaks that supposed Andy Reid rookie WR stigma ala Desean Jackson, then great. Outstanding. If he doesn't? I'm not gonna have a cow about it, and neither should anybody else. Because I believe he'll get there eventually.
We're pumped about Rice. And if you had to pick either Rice or Ross to have the better career, I think most reasonable and intelligent fans would say Rice. And just because Ross is getting more attention currently, that doesn't really mean the noticeable buzz surrounding him is because he's going to be a better player.
In a poll on CP I bet it would be 60/40 in favor of Ross and maybe higher.
Can someone do this poll? I would but I was a bad wittle boy and got my privileges taken away. [Reply]
I wonder just HOW Justyn broke his foot, I'd like to know how each break happened. Getting stepped on or happening running are two very different things. Makes me question both foot injury culprits. I don't remember anyone ever going in depth or reading anything on either foot deals. [Reply]
It's just weird to me that people are lumping him in with other camp heroes to predict his demise just out of sheer "that sounds like no fun" pessimism. He's clearly got something and I want to see more and i'm rooting for a magical story. Those are the best.
Like, Kurt Warner is one of the best stories in the history of the NFL and man did he have detractors with logical, sound arguments. But that's no freaking fun to me, I like incredible things, sue me.
I can't imagine if he gets cut and people being happy about it because they predicted it. [Reply]

There's a lot being said and written about Ross because he's an unexpected and exciting story.
Rice is EXPECTED to be good.
And nobody's saying much at all about Moore, who by all accounts, is ready to make the giant leap this season. He's all but forgotten.
I think Ross is going to be in the mix here, and a meaningful contributor.
In fairness, when your ONLY td of your rookie campaign happens in the Superbowl, and it took the offense lining up incorrectly, and the defense just electing not to cover you for you to get THAT one, that's a pretty forgettable rookie season.
He's remembered only for being a large culprit in the Colts loss with his fumble on special teams, and myriad other gaffes. [Reply]

Actually, I don't think that is fair at all. Moore was not a punt returner and the Chiefs needed him to step in and become one. He struggled with it during the season with those 3 muffs. Still, he kept working on it. And when the time came that the team needed him on the biggest stage, he stepped up big in the AFC Championship game and Superbowl in returning punts.
Also, he got better as a WR as the season progressed. Like a lot of rookies, his head was swimming. He talks like he knows the offense much better now and is not thinking so much as just reacting. That should make a big difference this year. [Reply]
It's like the: Watson can't catch the ball at all. When it was just one cold weather game he had several drops. Too much work not welding in snap judgements [Reply]

Oh heck, I had forgotten about that. Yeah, just another reason to hope the Chiefs cut him and keep some younger player. [Reply]
