Yeah, this is a tough one. It's been weighing on me heavily all day. While I've been hanging with my daughter especially, which I'm incredibly thankful for on one hand, but it's really hard not to dwell on the whole scenario. And Kobe was an absolute legend. I'm kind of stunned by some of the responses in this thread, not even considering the weird political ones (the entire 24/7 cable news model has been trash since post 9/11 regardless of your political lean btw). He's a top-5 all time lock. Ball hog and only known in California? The entire world is mourning. Everybody knows who Kobe is.

This is so awful. Really hope the reports about his kids are inaccurate. I can't imagine a newborn being there without the mother.
2020 sucks so far.

You really don't know what youre talking about huh.
Way to contribute.
I've said I like Sammy. When all is said and done he should have a lot of money and a decent career to look back on. Why are you so defensive about him being a #1? It has been years since he's shown you that ability, just let it go.

I like your enthusiasm, but I don't think anyone outside of Buffalo would agree. Sammy is much better than Brown who is limited in ability. You are being extra salty when you call him a #3.
He was a #3 for the Rams and he's clearly not the #2 receiving option in KC, but whatever, call him a #2.
Last 3 seasons:
Watkins - 1,785 yds / 14 TD
Brown - 2,074 yds / 14 TD
It ain't that crazy.
But much like waiting until week 15 or 16 for Robert Foster to catch a ball, we'll just assume that Sammy really catches fire next year.

No WR on the Kc roster had 1000 yards.
Watkins is their #2 WR not 3rd.
Sammy's career and ability has been hampered by foot injuries and even with that I think he would be a number one on most teams.
You are dilusional if you think John Brown (who I like) is a better WR than Watkins.
I'm not following your first point at all, sorry. I didn't mention 1000 yards, but Tyreek Hill is the clear #1 on that team.
Watkins is their third receiving option, at least. I see him as a #3 guy in the league, although I'm not going to argue against him being a #2. Point is he's not a #1.
John Brown is not as physically gifted as Sammy Watkins, but he is absolutely a better wide receiver than Sammy Watkins. It happens, if physical talent was everything then Charles Rogers would have lasted for more than 3 seasons.
I like Sammy a lot and have said that he's a viable weapon that flashes #1 upside, but just isn't consistent enough to be a true #1. What more do you want?

This is a bandwagon thread. At the beginning of the year everyone said it’s a passing league and backs are a dime a dozen. Now Henry mows down a couple teams and we need a big back.
Sort of, although some have argued against that point. The dime a dozen back thing has been stupid for years. And to be fair even if people are now just jumping ship it makes sense - it's inevitable that more teams are going to rely on a strong defense and power running game to counter the passing league idea instead of it just being a 32 team arm's race to video game stats.
But anyway, I think the argument is far more influenced by seeing our RB2 struggle for 3.6 ypc this year (about 2.7 after week 9, gross). Another RB is a high priority for this team.

Definitely agree. People will look for any reason they can to beat up on the guy. His stat sheet would be off the charts with just about any other team. KC really spreads the ball around to it's WRs. The #1 guy in that O is also the TE.
Like the Rams?
I like Sammy a lot and agree with the argument that he's a still a weapon that this team needs, but he's never going to be that #1 guy. I don't know if it's all between the ears, or his injuries, or some combination of the two but it's not happening. I don't doubt that he could be the most skilled #3 in the league though (I'm assuming Kupp is no longer really a 3).

Again 1/16 ain't bad right?
Technically 2/17. He was the best WR in the NFL week 1 with almost 200 yards and 3 TDs and then he didn't score again all season until today. Sammy's a weird player.

When all the stuff was going on with the Raiders during Hard Knocks, my first impression was that he was coked up out of his mind. The subsequent behavior with the Pats and in court just reinforced that. Dude reminds me A LOT of a couple of my friends who spiraled down with coke addictions.
And we already know PLENTY of NFL players are on coke. It's undetectable in a day or two, and is the drug of choice for people who have too much money.
If I had to put money on one or the other, I'd bet the mortgage payment on coke over CTE.
Exactly. This guy is experiencing spiraling, daily chaos. And it's clear that he is, he's documenting it, because he seems to enjoy it? I don't doubt that there could be CTE issues and/or serious psychological issues as well, but I'm becoming more convinced by the day that this dude is using something.

In other news mid February another tight end who played for Cleveland Tampa New England and the jets will be sentenced on multiple charges.
Oh man he's weirdly even more screwed up isn't he? Kellen Winslow stories are insane. He traveled with a torso apparently.
Definitely going to watch this. I have no sympathy for a possible serial killer, but it's fascinating stuff.

Lotta experience with crack? or?
Yes. I'm a recovering crack addict.
No I thought it was common knowledge that people who regularly smoke chemicals sound terrible. There are homeless people all around our block that can't be more than 30 that sound just like AB. I'm just saying, his voice is weird. He's a weirdo though so perhaps he does just scream 18 hours a day.

so -- does AB have a drug problem anyone knows about? richie has/had mental issues and drug problems, if AB doesn't do drugs it's honestly impressive that he can be that crazy and have been that successful.
I'm convinced he's on coke, or perhaps even the freebased version. He's so hoarse all of the time - he talks like he's been screaming his lungs out. Or smoking stimulants.

Easily the best ever and people still don't know how to deal with it.
Definitely rooting for Pegula, though. Pretty insane.

I simply don't want to pay the money for Henry but I think he's absolutely going to ruin the "plug and play" "RBs are a dime a dozen" argument this year. He's the scariest dude in the playoffs right now. We should go cheaper at RB since Singletary is the truth, I agree that WR is a bigger need.

Give him some credit for this W but guarantee he comes out in true overpaid, Kirk Cousins fashion and lays a turd next week. Always good enough to get your hopes up, never good enough to really close. Granted I'm biased and hoping that it's all a waste of money, but I'm pretty convinced that Kirk Cousins is the worst kind of "franchise" QB.
gonna bump this before Cousins loses by three touchdowns

Wow I loved this! Loved the baby tangent too. Great job, Dion.

The DBs arm is across his stomach and no where near hooking his arm until WELL after Duke dropped the ball!!
Fix your title or delete this post you FRAUD!!
So is the anger like a Costanza bit that you're doing? Falling pretty flat. Just seems like you're really angry.
In general I can kind of agree with the mismanagement of the wide receiver position this year, and the fact that Duke getting as many targets as he did in a playoff game was a bit of a head scratcher, but folks...Robert Foster, and to a lesser degree, Andre Roberts. Something had to be done. I feel like if you're angry about this then more of it should be directed there, particularly at Foster, for completely wasting a roster spot this year. I can't help but feel that the serious Duke haters still kind of let Foster skate by, and it's mind numbing. That's a guy who truly did NOTHING this season and doesn't belong on an NFL roster. Don't tell me about his sudden punt gunning skills, he's a wide receiver that doesn't catch footballs.

I will tell you who I’d like to see - Kenyon Drake from Arizona/Miami. He would be the type of big play/home run hitter running back that this team sorely misses
I like Drake too but what's wrong with Singletary? I hope we treat Devin as a real RB1 next year personally, he earned it.
I want a real TE. Dawson Knox looks good, but he's still too green to be the #1 option, and he may never even really turn into one. Ebron or Hooper? Not very exciting but either would be a huge upgrade and a lock on some red zone help.
I'll go with Hooper for one pick.

It is amazing how the 6th or 7th WR on the roster can have such interest.
Don't get me wrong, I think he should have been active for weeks, but I want 90% of targets going to Brown, Knox, Beasley, and Singletary.
Well he's not the 6th or 7th anymore. And Knox? That's a push for me with his drops lately. But either way, I'm cool with Duke getting 10% of targets, particularly a high point in the endzone.

Dude I'm on two separate UK forums right now and they are absolutely mourning. Go ahead and move the goal posts if necessary because it's just the UK, but I guarantee this is being discussed everywhere
