Tyreek seeking a trade [Now: Traded to the Dolphins]

Hill's separation skills and the attention he pulls away from the middle of the field should make those passes easier for Tua.

NFL defenses can account for Hill if all he does is five yard crossing routes.   Tyreek's superpower in KC was making himself available to Mahones on off-script and  broken plays.     

 

Tua has nowhere near the arm strength to throw off-platform, nor does he have the scrambling ability to extend plays.   He'll make his five-yard checkdowns to the same spots on the field, over and over.    And defenses will be able to contain that, unlike the Mahones/Hill combination, where coverage would breakdown because the play was being extended and it was sandlot football.

We already did. It was Mahomes/Hill 2x, now it’s Tua/Hill 2x

I will take Tua/Hill anyday over Mahomes/Hill

Still can’t believe how quick that happened.  Wow

I can’t believe how it was kept quiet so long. Tyreek tweeted this 11 days ago and it went largely ignored

Pat Mahomes average pass distance 7.02 was the 5th shortest.

Tua 6.92 4th shortest.

 

They are going to use Hill the same way he was used in KC

So you are insinuating that mr arm strength/mr velocity Tua T is gonna do what Patrick Mahomes does, am I hearing this right?

Good team down in MIA. They are a QB away from being a big problem. Bradberry becomes a bigger need now. 

Only a QB away is like saying your 75% of the way up mount Everest at base camp.  Sitting on my couch right now in east Texas, I am closer to Everest base camp than someone at base camp is to the summit in terms of complexity.

The great thing about being only a QB away is its incredibly sustainable.  You can be only a QB away for 20 years and occasionally break the monotony of those 8-9 seasons with a 9-8 year.

 

Do you have proof?

Disagree with you only because these are big YAC receivers. A good QB would make this team excellent. a halfway decent QB still makes a good team.

intriguing analogy, seems sad to wasted here.

What do I know but me thinx the Chiefs made out on this one.  Hell, Does Miami even have a coach yet ?  Looks like bad timing for Dolphins and a fantastic deal for KC.  It'll be fun to watch and maybe, just maybe its that one little break we needed this year to finally get by KC.

I knew this was going to be the reply. taking what i said super out of context and tyrant to insinuate that i said Tua = Mahomes.

 

Typical though.

 

Im saying Hill is going to be used on short crossing routes and screens and reverses because he can just outrun people.

 

Do we not remeber Hill taking a 7 yard pass 70 yards for a TD against the Bills?

They can get a Jimmy G type of season out of Tua and be a dangerous playoff team.

Part of the secret sauce in KC wasn’t just Hill. It was accounting for Hill and Kelce, plus the risk and skill Mahomes possesses when he does go off script.

I think this moves the Broncos as AFC West division winners next year and they don't have to play the Bills or Bengals like Chiefs do.

I’m not a fan of this deal. Hill is a unique talent. The TD on that crossed vs the Bills isn’t the kind of play anyone else makes. I think Hill is in great shape and is a player who will remain in peak form while. I would like to have seen him extended.

That said….30 million per year….isn’t a price I’d be willing to pay for a non QB….I’d entertain it for a 26 year old Hill but not now.  

Clearly the Chiefs got worse as of today and we all know it’s hard to convert draft choices into productive talent. Certainly replacing a talent of Hills caliber simply should not be expected at all. 

I’ve seen some talk about Mahomes cap hits being the trouble. I don’t believe that is the case here. Mahomes hit this year is substantial but not prohibitive of having some guys on big deals. Only a team with a rookie QB contract can afford a 30 million dollar 30 year old WR contract.  

I have also seen lots of talk that KC chose Frank Clark over Hill. That’s from I’ll informed folks that can’t wrap their head around the cap. Frank Clarks cap charge is only about a million more now to have him than the charge to cut him. That million isn’t why Hill isn’t a chief.

im not here to say it’s a good move. It does not help.  

I will say the important part is Mahomes. I maintain KC is a contender as long as he’s on the team.  

I would contend further, QBs have eras. Rodgers had Driver, then Jordan Melson, then Devonte. Wilson had the Legion of boom. QBs outlast the parts around them.  

30 million simply too steep to keep the Hlll era going.  

The Kirk and Adams deals ushered this in sooner than I would have hoped.

I hear ya.  Thinking about paying Diggs over 28M is painful.  Hill is just different though. No one like him.  Huge loss for 2022-23 but they weren’t going to get by the bills in 22-33 anyways.  I think it’ll be a great trade long term if they can hit on those picks.  Last years draft class was epic.

Good maybe but in today NFL, good QBs MIGHT get in you in the playoffs but even a few "great QBs" in the AFC will likely miss the playoffs

Okay…4-5 a year minimum.  Which if that’s the case, 30 would still be in the minimum range.  Call it 27.  That would still double Hester.

Miami has two great weapons you have to account for in Gesecki and Waddle.

There's exactly a 0.0% chance that all Hill does is five yard crossing routes. He'll be stretching defenses as he always has both vertically and horizontally and Tua throws a good enough deep ball that safeties will have to help take Hill away.

 

Tua is also good at extending plays. Unfortunately for him last year, he'd make 1 or 2 pass rushers miss when 2 or 3 of them were coming so Miami eventually realized their only chance of success was to get the ball out so quickly that their OLine didn't have a chance to ruin him. Their tackles allowed more pressures than anyone in the league last year despite Tua getting the ball out quicker than almost anyone.
