WhoTom Posted April 30, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaMilBill Posted April 30, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillenger4 Posted April 30, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted April 30, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantha Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I think with respect to deeper routes, Kincaid has the potential to be better than Kelce. 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted April 30, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted April 30, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted April 30, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted April 30, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted April 30, 2023 Share 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.

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.

Rc2catch Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Kelce can definitely go another 2-3 years I think. It’s also silly to compare Kincaid to Kelce. Didn’t y’all learn to stop these years ago, most recently Ed Oliver being comped with Aaron Donald. Talk about setting yourself up for disappointment. Just let these kids play and make their own names instead of putting hall of fame standards on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope Kincaid starts off with a bang with Josh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I’d say he has 2-3 more years of elite play as long as Reid is there. I see him playing til 38ish. He’s such a stud. I have nothing but respect for that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Kelce is a first ballot HOFer and maybe a top 3 TE of all time. Those are huge shoes to fill. If Kincaid can develop into a Greg Olsen type guy then I’ll be plenty happy. 37 minutes ago, Rc2catch said: Kelce can definitely go another 2-3 years I think.

Guys like Witten, Tony G, Gates all played well into their late 30s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ManRaid Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Probably two more years of All Pro play, than another year or two of Pro Bowl level before he's no longer a threat. Then another year on a wannabe contender team hoping in vain to squeeze what's left in the tank out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 You guys are too much. "Whoever the Bills pick is the best player at that position in NFL history." If things work out well he's probably the next TJ Hockenson. Nobody is Kelce and absolutely not Gronk. He's the size of Gronk's right butt cheek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Kincaid definitely equals a top 3 player at his position of all-time. Another measured take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waller and Kittle miss a bit of time. Gronk was routinely a walking MASH unit. As much as I think they guy comes off like a complete tool as a person (though I have heard he's actually very likeable when not on camera) I have to respect his durability and toughness. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Kelce is the most athletic TE in the league. He rarely gets blasted, although if memory serves me correct got knocked out in our most recent trip to Burrowhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 At 6'5" and 250 lbs, Kelce is bigger than Kincaid. While Kincaid is said to be a physical guy who excels in running after the catch, Kelce is still going to have more power given the size difference. That does not mean that he can't be an explosive receiving tight end and have s similar role to Kelce. No guarantee he will be either. We can hope.

MJS Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Will Kincaid be probably the best TE in NFL history like Kelce? Probably not.

Airseven Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Kelce has several more seasons of top notch play ahead. Kincaid is not Kelce. Wish the Bills could beat the Chiefs when it matters and not have to wait for their best players to age out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
