He/the gm straight up bungled three 1st-2nd round wr picks early on in Philly too that probably cost them a Super Bowl or two. The guy is obviously a great coach but this whole ‘every time he has his eyes on a wr they are guaranteed to be great’ stuff definitely went way too far haha his wr hit rate isn’t significantly better than anyone else’s especially if you factor in some of the free agents/players acquired through trades

This is a topic for if he’s still running hard late in the season. I’d probably be giving him somewhat limited snaps at this point to keep him fresh if it was me, the ravens can pretty much score however they want.

If it goes well and he wants to be here they’ll resign him. People are concerned looking at the available cap now but there’s always a few restructures part of what made the deal so interesting is cooper was very likely a free agent beane was eyeing for next offseason anyway. So we got a ‘try before you buy/first dibs on signing him next year’ situation without giving up much. If they want to take an all in-ish swing next year they could play around with coopers future years in his contract

There’s this weird notion that Reid is some kind of wr developing savant and if the chiefs wanted worthy he had to be good but it’s not really grounded in reality lol If we’re lookin at wr picks in the first few rounds in his coaching career it’s a very mixed bag. Some of the eagles biggest busts in his tenure were early round wr picks and he hasn’t exactly crushed those type of picks with the chiefs either. The eagles would probably have an extra superbowl or two if reid could’ve developed the first couple names in this list Todd Pinkston- bad Freddy Mitchell- horrible Reggie Brown-bad Desean Jackson-great Jeremy Macklin - good Mecole Hardman- kinda bad Skyy Moore- bad Rashee Rice - good at minimum but could be great Xavier Worthy-? despite being a later pick I think tyreek has to get mentioned here because of how good he is recent free agent/trade acquisitions: juju- meh Toney- horrible MVS- bad sammy Watkins- kinda bad demarcus Robinson- bad

I wonder how salty diggs is that Minnesota hit a home run replacing him in the draft then we brought in cooper after he left who is seeming like he could be an upgrade lol

nobody can admit the chiefs have made any player evaluation mistakes because it adds validity to the argument that ‘every team misses on picks/picks up free agents that don’t work out’ when discussing mcd and beane 😂 it’s kind of funny honestly. yes the chiefs are great and yes they have made bad moves…both things can be true

How many years would belichick have to coach to even make this move worth it even if you do actually like belichick. The guy is over 70

Idk how you get to him…their interior oline is phenomenal and the tackles are just allowed to hold like crazy

It’s weird there wasn’t more interest for him…I mean I could totally buy the chiefs front office being much better than the rest of the league but the offer seemed pretty low ball so I doubt anyone else was really interested Is it 3 mil a year? I think the titans payed him some this season and the chiefs are only eating part of his contract this year. I’d assume next year would be more than 3 mil but could be wrong

I think part of this move is their front office knowing the juju injury is going to be nagging too though. So this move is like one step back one and a half steps forward. The people saying it doesn’t matter at all I don’t agree with but I don’t agree with the ‘all hope is lost people’ either lol if it was on top of a healthy juju and they were getting one of brown/rice back it’d be a little scarier for me

Can’t disagree about giving it to him if the season ended today but a lot of the buzz is recency bias…Lamar is coming off a hugeee game. There’s a lot of season left though

Haha I do think he’s a great offensive mind but the clock management thing and people completely ignoring his decades with the eagles is absolutely spot on. The guy was a game management disaster and always getting dunked on by his own fans and really anyone 🤣. All this talk that he is some wide receiver whisperer and never misses on draft picks kind of gets me too…he’s overseen/coached some absolute head scratcher picks over the years Belichick calling Freddie Mitchell ‘terrible and you can print that’ in the lead up to that pats eagles Super Bowl was one of my favorite things ever haha

They got burned a bit last year…yea it’s just a regular season award but they reached a bit giving it to him and he still didn’t shake the underwhelming in the playoffs label really so it didn’t come off well. could be wishful thinking but I don’t think they’ll be in a hurry to give it to Lamar again if other guys are comparable

They’ll give Josh his first before they give Lamar his third if it’s reasonably close imo especially given the bills were ‘supposed’ to take a big step back on offense. It very well may not be reasonably close though haha we’ll have to wait and see..that ravens offense is ridiculous

They’ve felt like a 5-1 team that caught a few very lucky breaks to me this year not that that’s not a plenty impressive record in its own right 🤣 Reid definitely sold his soul to the devil after his time with the eagles haha.

Even if we just wanna limit talk to recent edge rushers, I mean it’s still early but karlaftis/anudike-uzomah were both first rounders and I’d still take Rousseau/basham over that despite basham being straight up worthless lol karlaftis is pretty good and Rousseau is very good but maybe not quite great

1 seed qb is usually a decent estimate but I don’t see it happening this year…Lamar is probably way ahead of Goff right now in the betting odds despite those setting the odds having a good idea chiefs and lions have the inside track to the 1 seed I doubt Goff is even in the top 3

Diggs’ last game was such a vintage past prime Stefon game haha 7 targets for 23 receiving yards when 17 of that came on one reception

Just mentioned this in another thread and thought I’d throw it in here too…we’re 2nd in offensive dvoa after the titans game just ahead of Washington and Detroit but wayyy behind baltimore. Last year we were third offense has been so hard to evaluate this year because there’s so many objectively bad teams that have good defenses where it just feels like the offense is underperforming against a bad team

I really don’t trust Houston…I think we’ll be the 3 seed. Cj stroud seems to play so much worse when games are on the line and maybe we’re all a bit biased lol but I think it’s pretty clear diggs really didn’t move the needle at all for them. Collins won’t be back until at least week 10 so maybe they get upset by a lesser opponent in the next few weeks and they’ve got ravens chiefs lions on the schedule still so that kind of evens out our tough games. thank god baltimore lost those two games early lol at least there’s some chance they slip up and we pass them in win total

Feels like it’s not even just the drops with him lol. He just seems bad at tracking footballs unless it’s the 2023 playoffs 🤣

I think that’s opponents more than anything…the Texans defense is ridiculous and the ravens defense gave us problems because they’re good against the run and their issues against the pass were pretty minimized by our wrs we must be doing more right than we think because we moved up to 2 in offensive dvoa after this week…its by a slim margin but still 😂

Haha they have looked this unstoppable in the regular season many times

Looked like some absolutely horrendous holds on that screen

I think they’re partners in crime in underperforming lol their oline was not even close to nfl caliber in the past and they had nobody at the skill positions but I think there’s enough pieces in ny now where a good coach could have the team performing at least ok/a bit below average
