Sorry- didn’t know we were talking about TE’s. TE’s don’t seem to carry much weight around here when it comes to these conversations- considering that we have two very good TEs…..yet WR is the only thing we hear about from the whiners. How about those KC whiners last year? They were fighting the same fight. They had zero proven WRs- which is the fight ya’ll are fighting as if it’s the gospel

And it doesn’t even matter. This is all nonsense. One person picks a random stat and now all of his followers act as if this means anything. Answer me this: this time last offseason, say chiefs fans are discussing the same exact thing- many WRs on KCs roster had finished top 32? DOOOOOOOM!! As we watched Josh make 2 bone headed plays to end our season. As we watched our “elite” WR that everyone now clamors for, no show for 4 straight years in season ending losses. As we watched the chiefs win back to back super bowls with WR2/3’s masquerading as WR1’s

Grandparents lived a couple blocks from Fredonia training camp. Went to practice just about everyday in the 80’s. It was there that the Bills became part of me

Legendary type stuff Not sure why anyone would frown on this move. If he sucks, he’ll be cut. If he shows promise, he might make the ps. Kicking the tires on elite athletes makes a lot of sense.

My take is that the offensive roster was about a push from 20 to 23. Beasley and Diggs were all pro in 20. Brown was a better x than Gabe (minus blocking). TEs and RBs goes to 23 while I think the OL was a push. I thought the 2020 line was better the majority of the season but they were poor vs KC. Close call. Defensively, the 2023 roster was better 💯 until injury evened things out. Poyer and Hyde both notably worse in 23 but the DL was much better. CB also better in 23. Talent wise, last year was our best team imo. Too bad they didn’t pull the trigger on Dorsey after his rookie season didn’t show much promise (to me anyway). Not sold on Brady yet, but I think he could get the job done.

Man I hate the fact Von Miller is on this team.

Sucks he got hurt. The return we were getting on our investment was of equal value imo. It came with risk and backfired. The fact that he took a pay cut lessens the blow. -
I think he can be a key player for us when either Benford or Douglas inevitably gets hurt. I wasn’t a fan of his interview today though.

No. It’s people being logical and acknowledging that there’s this thing called a salary cap. It’s the basis of roster building and teams sometimes take a dip at certain positions. Like back to back champion chiefs did after trading all world Tyreek Hill. Their WR unit got worse 2 years in a row. And they won titles both seasons. Super talented teams sometimes get worse talent wise. That’s just reality of the salary cap nfl. Beane just said it in the athletic interview. As a GM, you don’t want to max your credit card. He doesn’t want to take his medicine 2 years in a row. He wants to build a team that can compete for super bowls over time.

Love it. Thanks for posting

Only have time for some quick drive byes this morning

Sweet. Still doesn’t make last years wrs deeper than this years. Not sure what the debate is here. I never said this years WRs are better than last years. I said they were deeper. Last year was their last run with the boys that transformed the franchise from lovable losers to SB contenders. They sacrificed some cap in order to give themselves another shot with them. It was time to move on from Diggs and there weren’t many moves they could’ve made (for a legit WR1) that wouldn’t have sacrificed long term sustainability in order to have a better WR corps in 24. The moves they made were to give them a better chance to win with Josh over the next 5-6 years rather than in 24-25 while possibly sacrificing opportunities after that. As fans, we should realize that this sort of thing is inevitable. You pay your QB 50M, s*** flows downstream and difficult decisions have to be made. Sacrifices will have to be made. That’s life in the salary cap NfL

Calm down guys. RBs don’t matter as much as WRs and TEs so it doesn’t matter if we like our RB unit or not. That said- this is the best RB unit we’ve had since McCoy, Gills and eats. And I like these guys more
