sith13 1,746 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Looks like we could have spent that money on defense. Mahomes could make guys off the street look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,121 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I think overall that money would have helped our overall team more with a stud DB and S but he does give us another homerun option on O and we saw why having that other weapon is important today.

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I admit he had a great day, but still not top 5 pay day. Just is what it is, went all in on offense this year. Hope we do the same for a CB or 4 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Watkins was terrific today but what people are missing is his understated value. He can legitimately get a safety to leave Tyreek or Kelce single coverred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 You all know I don't care about the names on the back or how much players are paid. I believe Watkins gives the Chiefs something they didn't have last year, a legitimate third receiver. When Kelce went down in the playoffs all Tennessee had to do was key on Hunt and Hill. Now the Chiefs have three legitimate receivers who can score from anywhere and tw RBs who can move the ball. Mahomes is smart enough to spread it out.

We'll probably pay 1 WR and let the others leave to bring in picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 It'll be a lot of years before we have any problems finding top receivers. Everybody and their twin aunt will take less money to be come to KC and be in a pass-oriented offense with Patrick throwing to him. I was a big fan of Alex Smith, but he couldn't have done any of that shit we saw yesterday if the PIttburgh D had taken the day off to go fishing.

It was expensive but having that 4th weapon makes all the difference. I think the announcers alluded to that yesterday. You can't stop all 4 guys!

You mean the Conley that coughed up the ball at a crucial time in the game? Or the Robinson who has 1 catch for 3 yds all season long? Yes it was a TD, my point is if you don't like something for one reason or another you can always find fault in it. Again, I don't personally care who plays and who doesn't, nor do I care who gets paid what as long as the Chiefs win I'm OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this way, yeah, for this year, it would've been nice to get a DB instead. But next year when the defense has been re-loaded we'll still have this juggernaut offense to lean on to win games.

soonerborn77 276 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 What top flight CB would we have gotten, Watkins even as a decoy makes our offense elite but if used that money on someone defense then our defense goes from really really bad to just bad? Sure I get he is overpaid but right now we are under paying Hill, Hunt and Mahomes so I'll take that while we use the draft to build our defense. As I've said in other threads, we don't need our defense to be the 85 bears, they just need to get that drive killing sack occasionally and maybe hold a team to FG's instead of TD's on every drive....

The other Fuller would have been nice. Right now the bigger problem is the mentality but need some talent in the secondary as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two 2’s in the draft and will undoubtedly be looking for big time help in the secondary. We should literally go DB, S, DB with our 1, 2, and 2, depending on how the board d goes.

Dan4pres 125 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Even though Big Ben threw for a million yards, I think the defense showed improvement this week. We shut them down in the first quarter while we built our lead. We also kept a lid on AB, which is no small feat. We also stymied Pittsburgh's running game, which we have NEVER done before. I thought Scandrick played much better which is also encouraging. Lastly, we made them work a lot harder for their points in the second half. The Conley fumble made the game a lot closer than it really was. I think Sutton needs to give up his idea that Ragland is a three down LB and put O'Daniel in there. He simply can't cover and their TE's absolutely destroyed us. I also thought Parker came back to reality a little bit. We really need a healthy Berry back there to cover up some of these warts. Pittsburgh (as do the Chargers) have a lot of offensive weapons. I think playing those two teams to start off the year exposes our weaknesses worse than some other teams would have. It could be a blessing in disguise that we are getting lit up like we are now. I'm hoping Sutton starts filtering in the young guns a little bit and see if they can do any better. What harm would it really do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerborn77 276 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Also have to remember that the only bad throw by Mahomes yesterday was an overthrow where Watkins was wide open and would have had a 40 yard TD.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
