I have run the numbers and him being 28 until his 29th birthday tracks.

Von was cooked the second Transplant picked up his banner tbh.

Needs more Jeff Tuel, Bryce Brown, Reggie Corner, Jordan Mills, Erik Pears, Kelvin Sheppard, and Ko Simpson

Defense can’t fall apart in the playoffs if they fall apart well before the playoffs. McD is playing 4D chess

Second best QB in the AFCE by a mile next year tbh

FWIW, I don’t think McD and co know exactly how to help Elam at this point. He’s got too much wrong place wrong time in him. The anti-Bernard

so it went from Hopkins is dramatically doing better than Cooper, to Hopkins isn’t making a dramatic impact on KC at all?

No I don’t. Read it again. Hopkins is averaging less than 10 YPG more than Cooper. 38.5 to 47.8. And the Chiefs’ offensive numbers and Mahomes’ numbers have improved dramatically since trading for him, similar to the Bills.

Everyone knew it was broken. He had a bionic glove on and couldn’t use it for 4 weeks.

Hopkins is averaging less than 10 yards per game more than Cooper fyi.

This is the worst outcome for the 12 team playoff right? Not a single lower seed even being competitive?

He can answer himself, right? Like he can say, “his production has been really bad and he has not been a savior, but maybe it gets better.” I would just be interested in his takes. Usually when folks are clowning a guys’ lack of production, they don’t think they are worth 3rd round picks for half a season rental. Are you taking his messages for him? Please let him know I said Merry Christmas!

Answer the question lol. out here sarcastically calling him a savior and positing how many games he has under 10 yards.

Bro he just quit on his 2nd team in 3 months. Hes not signing on the PS lol

I mean, saying his production is bad and has 3 games of under 10 yards and still supporting the trade is kinda interesting. It’s almost like he does things outside of the stat sheet to open up the offense. Puts him in a tough spot to admit that though. Otherwise, it would be a wasted 3rd round pick for bad production, right?

Interesting take. why do you still support the trade despite his “factual production?”

But that's the thing. Guys that dictate coverage don't grow on trees. Expecting them to come out of a washed MVS, a flameout in Claypool, or a glorified gadget guy in Samuel with 1 good year was a mistake. And while its great that Mack is a good blocker (really he has to be), imo, he's still not more important than Cooper, Coleman, Shakir or even Kincaid I think. Like not even close.

I have discovered the disconnect. You think with a healthy Samuel, we wouldn't have needed Cooper. Most of the folks disagreed with you in the summer on that point, and disagree with you today on the same point. To this point, I think we have gotten about as good as could be expected with Coleman/Shakir and even Mack. The issue that we had in the summer and still have today was the idea that if we got best case scenario out of Coleman/Shakir/Mack and Samuel, we would be okay. Not only was that unlikely, as was argued back then, the far more likely alternative to the ideal best case scenario was exactly what happened, the group as a whole being torn apart by a well-coached team like the Ravens, who don't even have a good defense because they wouldn't be good enough. The reason why its not the same argument for Mack is that Mack does not dictate coverage the way that Cooper does. To my eye, Shakir has not seen #1 CB coverage again this WHOLE SEASON to the extent he saw Humphrey vs the Ravens. Mack was playing the boundary and he was an afterthought in the passing game and rightfully so. Amari changed that. You think Samuel would have too potentially and maybe you're right but I also thought you were far too high on him this summer.

That's true. I have some counter facts though! Since trading for Amari, Shakir is averaging 8.375 targets per game. Prior to trading for Amari, Shakir was averaging 4.2 targets per game. Factually, we know that Shakir targets correlate with winning. We also know that trading for Amari correlated with with an increase in Shakir targets. Ergo.....

It's also factual that despite Amari's lower snap count, he has been the 2nd most targeted WR on the team over the last two weeks. He has 1 target less than the #1. The next closest WR to him in targets is Mack Hollins who has 5 less. He's doing that with an injured wrist on a reduced snap count.

It's very on-brand to argue how silly it would be to change the title of article when that title has already been changed lol.

And yet, they changed it. lol

So you're on the record, bad trade?

IMO, probably to hide a bad take. Josh Allen's MVP videos are probably gonna plaster that headline all over with that author's name.

There are 100+ posts about one of Hamler/Claypool/MVS/Shavers coming out in the wash in this very topic. Zero of them are on the 53. We should look elsewhere for lotto tickets imo. Been there, done that.
