  1. Gabe runs 3 routes well - Go, Post, Corner. We killed him for it as a WR2 but since we didn’t do a trade, he’s the answer for Keon’s uncanny ability to stay plastered to the DB when he runs his routes. It will be the Amari Cooper effect. No team respects Keon at the X one on one. Teams will respect Gabe because he’s proven he can get open on those routes. Teams currently are rarely if ever keeping a safety deep when they cover Keon one on one because they don’t fear Keon. That safety is dropping into the middle of the field, making it more difficult for Josh who is not the greatest anticipatory thrower so he needs to see those windows. I had zero interest in keeping Gabe at the Jax numbers and a WR2. I really think he can help open up the middle of the field for Josh an make this offense even more efficient because Keon has so far been completely inneffective.
  2. I’d have preferred to trade for a guy, but it looks like Gabe will be the answer at that X receiver spot. I’m not a huge Gabe fan, but he’s light years better than Coleman. If you watch some All-22, whenever Keon was 1-1 outside, KC brought their safety into the box. Keon scares no one, they don’t even bother to keep a deep guy back that’s how little teams fear him. Gabe, on the other hand, will keep that safety up over the top. We know he can get open on deep posts, corners, and outs, those are the only 3 routes Gabe runs. That alone should open up the middle of the field a bit more even if Gabe is the #4 or #5 target. Yeah, not the best solution but I think it’s an improvement on Coleman who has been ASS
  3. The rookie minimum is about $840,000 a year, plus he’d get an injury settlement. How many years does it take 90% of the posters on the board to make over a million bucks? I’d say that’s a pretty good launching point for a new career. I agree 100% that it sucks having your dream job pulled out from under you. Sucks worse to be a quadriplegic I’d think.
  4. It’s clear Strong has a career threatening neck issue. This isn’t something that was solely caused by practice. He’s probably had an issue for many years, tweaked it in practice, and got a horrific MRI result when they investigated. It’s either multiple disk protrusions or spinal stenosis at the cervical level. I’m leaning more towards the stenosis issue because disks can be successfully dealt with (Eichel, Hyde), whereas stenosis it’s not so simple. Unfortunately I think his career is over. The young man should take the money and pursue a different career. It sucks, but he will have a solid financial launching pad that 99% of people in this country don’t have.
  5. This will be made into a big deal but it’s a nothing burger. Max was velcroed to Worthy because he’s just as fast and Worthy is a 1 trick pony. All Worthy has is speed, and all you guys on here saying we should have picked him are hilarious. He’s a gadget guy at best who got erased by a rookie who could match his speed because he doesn’t have any route running ability. I’d have taken Lad over Keon btw, I’d never have taken Worthy. I hope we don’t see the Chiefs in the playoffs because I’m not convinced we can out coach them twice in one year. It won’t be because Max ran his mouth.
  6. Completely different position. How many tackles did they want Manning to make in a typical game? Strong has the same issue and its a potential career ender,
  7. My favorite part was getting a Big W. I don’t care that it’s the regular season, that was a great win. My second favorite part was seeing AJ absolutely PLANT Mahomes into the turf and not getting flagged because Mahomes did his usual sideline act My third favorite part was Bishop blasting that douche Kelce in the end zone, I hope he bruised some ribs
  8. Why do people keep saying this? What has McDaniel shown that anyone would want him has an OC? Once teams adjusted to his scheme, he has been awful. He took Shanahans offenseive scheme, tweaked it, then said “alright I’m done”. Not to mention the fact that Josh is not an anticipatory thrower at all so that type of offense would be worse than our current one. At least we can run the ball, which McDaniel abandons faster than Josh does a Keon Coleman 1st read
  9. I seriously believe all we are missing is a consistent intermediate passing game in the 15-30 range. Get that, and this team has all the tools to be a top Super Bowl contender. We don’t need a bunch of deep bombs. It’s that 15-30 air yard shots that we know Josh can throw very well that need to return to the offense.
  10. Josh seems to have lost his mojo a little bit. I think he’ll snap back. I’d start him off against the Chiefs with a quick rhythm pass and a designed QB power run to let him lower his shoulder. It’s all mental. You can see it in his eyes. Where’s the fire? He’s got that deer in the headlights look he used to get. He’s definitely in a funk, but the great ones get themselves out of it. Hopefully he’ll be back on a roll for the playoffs if we get there.
  11. If we don’t get a WR in trade I think Brady has to go all in on the heavy packages and start throwing a lot more out of it. Get several packages of multiple TEs, Oline, RBs with Shakir out there and start throwing a LOT more to the backs and TEs. The lack of a WR who can stretch and take the top off the defense has been a consistent flaw in this team every game. We don’t need to throw bombs but the lack of a consistent intermediate passing game will kill us when the playoffs come, assuming we make it. I have to believe Beane is burning up the phones trying to get a WR but my gut tells me he thinks Gabe Davis is that guy and he’s just waiting for him to get healthy.
  12. That’s a TD but wouldn’t surprise me if it isn’t allowed. It’s the KC way
  13. I wouldn’t give more than a 2nd for BJT. I think a 3rd for Shaheed would be better
  14. That was a scared play call on 4th down. Don’t trust their O line to get a yard. Just do a read option with Marietta he can run. Pathetic
