Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I think he should be extended and given every opportunity to be our starter going forward. Reminiscent of when they extended Damien Williams a few years ago for peanuts. McKinnon is exactly what this offense needs. McKinnon has explosiveness, gives Mahomes a bigger target than the oompa loompa that is CEH, is dynamic with the the ball in his hands, and is willing to run for the hard yards. He's always been explosive when healthy. And if we really wanna pound the rock we have Gore and we can extend Darrel Williams. I've been CEHs biggest supporter, but McKinnon is a really good fit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I want him too, but we have to consider that his history is one of being on IR much of the time. Can't rely on him to be a primary RB. West, oldtimer and sith13 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thegoatee 1,780 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Minimally, he needs to return and be in the mix. And not be burried behind slow plodding guys until week 17 in his touch count. azchief21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ev 332 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 He will create LB mismatches which is what we need. Now that Pringle and Robinson amongst others have emerged as targets when Hill and Kelce are covered, adding McKinnon will open up more options for dump offs and play action.

DieHard 2,061 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I loved how that kind of stashed him without much use. That is perfect for him. He can be a starter and stay healthy for a season, but he has got the juice for a playoff run. Williams is the only guy rugged enough to carry a heavy load IMO. Williams/CEH/McK/Gore are a nice group if we manage to bring them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calichief 3,016 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The Josh Gordon project is done. if you think back, d rob was a big part of the offense when it was at its peak. They are going back to him and Pringle. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 We need to make sure mckinnon and darrel williams are here next season. to do this is recommend trying to deal clyde for a 3rd or 4th to reduce resources invested in the rb position and reduce the temptation to force feed him the ball. im scared to death clyde will return this week and mckinnon wont get touches artsy, Palangi and the Warparty 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is average at best. 20 guys like him will be free agents. Two years and nothing to show for it. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Isn't CEH dirt cheap as well? Don't have to use the 5th year option on him so it's still a 3 or 4 back rotation when needed with Gore as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The main problem with CEH is that he was drafted too high. He's not a JC or Hunt who were taken the the third or later. The Chiefs will keep him through his rookie contract and then probably move on unless they figure out a way to use him like they advertised on draft day. If he blossoms, it won't be the first "bust" that contributed after his early struggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He simply has not proven he can do what a guy off the street , McKinnon, can do. Its always been there and CEH is the reason it was not working. He seems to have no space awareness. The main problem with CEH is he is taking reps from others who are more effective. Chiefs need to sit him for now. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes4six! 968 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The thing McKinnon brings is speed and vision. last night we saw him take screen passes for 15 plus yds where Williams and CEH would go ten or less. we saw McKinnon get and turn the edge where Williams and CEH cannot. we saw McKinnon take a dump off and get to the first down sticks much quicker than CEH and Williams. now McKinnon has more speed than hunt but hunt would still do these things also. So what is the problem with CEH? Vision patience? Speed? I like seeing McKinnon being in there. Totally changes the offense. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,220 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 McKinnon was great at running the outside zone runs Andy likes. CEH and Williams both better on gap plays. OBJ and Trey Smith both better at gap blocking. Thuney can do both but better zone blocker. Creed can do both very well. Wylie also plays for the Chiefs. oldtimer and West 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I referenced the Damien Williams extension. If he doesn't hold up, no big deal. CEH will remain part of the rotation. They can extend Darrel too. Solid rotation. But McKinnon needs a longer look IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes4six! 968 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I don’t know if the best thing is to keep McKinnon…maybe on a cheap deal but his performances sure do put into question our current RB room. That to me is the ultimate thing. U don’t know what u don’t know. Players need opportunities and u may be surprised. Look at Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,150 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I do like him, and wouldn't mind extending him cheap like you mentioned. Having said that, I want them to still mix it up depending on the opponent, and not have a primary starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 McKinnon has had minimal usage this year and will only get a prove it deal elsewhere as well. Sign him cheap with some incentives and may the best man play. Was so refreshing to see him be able to get to the edge and make positive yardage. I don't see any of our RB as irreplaceable.

dhitter 1,424 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Who here thinks if CEH is ready to go this week that Andy doesn't start him over McKinnon? Just thinking about it pisses me off.
