Alphadawg7 Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 This thread title should be changed to read: With Sammy out, CONLEY has a chance to impress before the playoffs. I seriously doubt KB is going to get many chances to really "impress" with Hill, Kelce, Conley, and their RB's (who are still good, ware is a quality backup RB who can catch too). Now, I will say this: KB knows his next contract is in toilet right now. His low production and being cut by a WR needy team midseason have put his value in the toilet in terms of a WR1 Type Contract. So, maybe he comes in highly motivated, chip on his shoulder, starts slimming down and really works his butt off to learn the playbook so come playoff time when on the big stage he can take advantage of some opportunities to try and change peoples minds. But, if Sammy is back by the playoffs, he is going to lose that shot to get any real field time. So for me, I think the next 4 weeks aren't going to provide KB many opportunities because he still needs to learn the playbook too and Mahomes has to adjust to just how slow his fat butt is.

Stosh, how freaking maddening was that?! watching Peterman in one of his last games telling this joker where to line up... 8 plus million dollars. Ridiculous.

Ridiculous. Donuts, I believe the combination of eating a few of your namesakes combined with a lack of caring turned into a volatile mix of lumbering forgetfulness...my question is how long he can fool the Chieftains out west? 1

It could very well be that he prefers to be viewed as lazy than just plain ineffective. Kind of like a drunk who also happens to suck at life sober. You almost prefer to be labeled a drunk because it's better than "loser." Wow. You really described me perfectly just now.. I'm just like Kelvin Benjamin! 4
Augie Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 I’m curious, does anyone know if he dropped the pen before signing? Did he take longer than usual to complete the signing? 1

Shaw66 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 I'm late to this thread, I know. I really didn't care that Benjamin got cut, and I really don't care if he succeeds in KC. If he does, it will be good for him, and he doesn't seem like a bad guy. He got a lot of hate around here because of his performance, but he's just guy who couldn't get it done here. He's gone to a great offensive coach with an offense that won't ask him to do a lot, and he may make plays for the Chiefs. I don't care because because whether he might succeed someplace else, McB decided that he wasn't going to succeed in Buffalo. Better to let others have a shot and reload next season. And I don't fault McB for getting him in the first place. There's no question they're figuring a lot out as they go. They both are doing new, much more complicated jobs in Buffalo than they'd ever had before. And even the very best coaches and GMs in the business don't get personnel decisions correct all the time. McB are in a process of learning themselves, just as much as they expect their players to be in a process. Frankly, since they figured out that Allen was the guy to get and then got him to the Bills, they can have half a dozen mistakes like Benjamin and they're still ahead of the game. 1
LSHMEAB Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 I'm gonna give KB some credit for not throwing the Bills under the bus. I don't think he's a bad guy. Just a poor wide receiver. 1

I think most dislike him because because it wasn’t a “trying hard and can’t make it happen thing.” He just didn’t give effort and was busy running his mouth instead of being a man and doing his job.
frostbitmic Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 He'll be back in the unemployment line by New Years day.
Domdab99 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 If he plays these four games without keeling over and dying, it would probably help his value in FA. He was a complete bust with the Bills.
HOUSE Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 I am already impressed he made it to Kansas City. They like to win there 1
formerlyofCtown Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 I find it very interesting that both our #1WR have gone to sign with Andy Reid. I guess them being jettisoned may not be that McDermot didnt like their effort they just weren't fits. I dont see Reid signing them without a good word from McD. I dont think KB was lacking physically so much as mentaly. The offense was too complex for his brain that is unfortunately smaller than his gut. I am actually interested to see how he does in KC.

It was a detailed, well thought out post explaining exactly why we let KB go. The response it received was rather harsh.? Interesting board they have over there? Nope, that was me. They softened up a tad. Funny dudes 1
Gray Beard Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 It won’t matter that their system is new to him so he won’t know their plays. He never knew the plays in Buffalo, so it won’t be anything different for him.

I get that, but he's really just a person who didn't fit what McBeane are doing. He doesn't have the intensity and desire to play on this team.
