  • Coldfronts changed the title to chiefs Kelce will be 34 yrs old. How much longer can he turn in over 1000 yrd. does Kincaid=Kelce?

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

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.

He is a large part of thier offense. If he retires or production drops so goes the chiefs offense.  

 

True the Chiefs could never win a SB after they lost a guy who had 24% of their targets....

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.

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.

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.

 

 

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.
