Im not as upset about Worthy as most posters on the Bills board. He is super fast but he is small. Really small. I would worry about durability, and I would worry his hands are too small to be catching Josh Allen missiles
Colonel Asshole, 2013 called and they want their talking point back.
I didn't get the pick from a KC perspective. They already had the same WR in Hollywood. I thought McConkey or Mitchell would have made more sense. From a Buffalo perspective, I like the trade because you get more draft capital and Mitchell or McConkey with the next pick and maybe Malichi Corley later in the 2nd. And I really don't get Atlanta. Penix won't want to wait 2-4 years to play, and now you've pissed off Cousins. It's Rodgers/Love part deux.
Which seems to have worked.
Love finally seems to have been worthy of the pick. But you had a pissed off prima donna starting QB creating a ton of drama in the building and had no subsequent playoff success with said prima donna QB. Rodgers made their lives as miserable as could those last 2 years.
Finally is a strong word there - it was his first year starting. But, yeah, Rodgers is a huge asshole and created a ton of drama after the Love pick, but he would have created drama with just his anti-vaxx BS and general douchiness anyway. He also didn't get past the NFC championship after 2011, so there wasn't much playoff success before the Love pick.
I said finally because Love looked like a bust that 1st couple of years, but then the light bulb came on for him last year. But the Rodgers drama and lack of playoff success was my point that drafting Love didn't exactly work out while Rodgers was still there. It's worked out now that Love looks like a legit franchise QB.
Hollywood is on a 1 year deal. Odds are he won't be with the Chiefs after this season. Lack of speed / ability to stretch the field by the Chiefs WR was a major issue for much of this past season. Also, I'll probably trust the evaluation skills of Brett Veach and Andy Reid (and their 3 championships over the past 5 seasons) just slightly more than yours.
Not defending the Falcons pick, but kind of weird to say that the Rodgers/Love thing didn't work out. Aaron Rodgers was the NFL MVP the next two seasons after the Packers drafted Love, the Packers were the NFC #1 seed each of those two seasons, and now the Packers have a young QB, that all but maybe a few teams covet.
Thought Hollywood was on a longer deal. Don't get me wrong, Worthy is good. He's not just fast. Not anti Veach or Reid in any way - just thought it was strange to have their starters this year (with Rice missing some time) to be 2 diminutive really fast guys. I also think Hollywood is going to have a good year.
I need the Denny Green ‘crown their ads’ gif
Sure. The ultimate goal. But getting MVP and finishing at or near the top of the conference is a good goal too. And maybe I'm coming from the standpoint of a Panthers fan, but not cratering and transition to the next QB is a good goal as well.
the end is not the trophy, lest you forget
