CaptnCoke11 Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Probably 20 more years since nobody decides to ever cover him Edited April 30, 2023 by CaptnCoke11 6 2 18 2 1 Quote

WhoTom Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 I'm reluctant to make predictions about the longevity of an arch-nemesis. We spent the past decade asking how much longer #12 could play, and we didn't like the answer. 9 2 3 1 Quote
VaMilBill Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 Seems like we were saying the same thing about Brady when he turned 30. And he continued to burn us for a decade plus longer. obviously TE is a different position. But Kelce plays it at such a high level still thinks he has 4 years at least as long as the chiefs are willing to pay him 1 Quote
Dillenger4 Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 Kincaid may not be Kelce but he sure is a weapon in the same scale. Kincaid will be a stud this season. I still can't believe we got him. 1 Quote
Success Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 He creates the same kind of match-up problems for defenses as Kelce. Kelce is such a generational talent that it's way too early for an apples-to-apples comparison - but Kincaid has very a very similar skillset and could be the same kind of asset for Allen. Kelce is still playing at a high level. We'll have to deal w/ him for at least another 2-3 years, imo. 1 Quote
Yantha Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 I think with respect to deeper routes, Kincaid has the potential to be better than Kelce. 2 1 4 Quote

Beast Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 I guess the Chiefs will be handcuffed and not be able to draft another TE or sign a free agent. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are the engine that makes that team run. 4 Quote
machine gun kelly Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 I hate making comparisons of a draft pick to a great well established player in the NFL. Remember when a lot of people compared Oliver to the next Donald. How’d that go? He was doomed from the jump. So this why I’m not dooming Kincaid saying he’s the next Kelce. Just like a garbage truck beeping, slow the roll. 1 2 Quote
Stank_Nasty Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 Sadly I think a lot of his game will be able to carry through a more advanced age. It’s his savvy and knack for reading and reacting that makes him such b**ch to deal with. 1 8 Quote
947 Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 Well Kelce didn't even have a target his rookie year, he played only 1 game on special teams. So here's hoping Kincaid can have a much better start to his career. 1 Quote
Big Turk Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Probably another 2-3 years at least. Has shown no sign of slowing down... Think we are going to continue to see athletes extending their prime years later and later into their careers as they continue to focus on taking care of their bodies through proper nutrition, proper rest and recovery, new sports science that helps them and teams prevent overtraining and injuries, proper workouts and medical advances that repair their bodies better and better. More athletes than ever before hire personal chefs for their nutrition, have pods for their recovery, ice baths, etc etc down the long list of things they do to keep themselves in peak condition as long as possible. They have begun treating their off field regimen with as much importance as their on field regimen and that has not always been the case. Athletes near their peak into their mid 30s or possibly even late 30s in rare cases will start to become the norm rather than the exception, IMO. Edited April 30, 2023 by Big Turk 2 Quote

papazoid Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 kelce has at least 2-3 more good years pump the brakes on kincaid = kelce first of all kelce is the #1 KC receiving target....it's unlikely kincaid is even our #2 give it some time.....kincaid will be everything we hoped for 1 1 1 Quote
Old Coot Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 Kelce had back problems at the end of last year. Quote

So here's hoping Kincaid can have a much better start to his career. What's remarkable is that the reason he only played 1 game is that he had a season ending injury immediately in year 1. Now he's Mr. Durable at one of the toughest positions to stay healthy at in football. Those guys take a beating. He's cracked the code in this regard. TE's entering the league should be looking as much at how he stays healthy as any aspect. Some of it is probably genetics........his brother is durable too.........but there is more to it than that.
