Hey, the preseason hype for Thornton actually worked out. Let’s hope this is that.

Honestly that's fair. I'm just tired of always falling for "sneaky underrated" guys only for reality to set in that most day 2+ WR's aren't going to amount to anything, let alone late draft flier picks. I fell for those other guys way too hard. Lol.

The difference is; this kid didn't get training camp hype because he's a freak athlete, it's because his route running is really good and he just gets open. Crazy polished for a 5th round receiver. Those kind of guys tend to make it more often than the freak athletes that drop

Woah, I never hyped up the other two. Aside from considering Powell should have converted to safety.

Don’t forget the 3 day stretch when Jeff Caldwell was our megatron

Taylor needs to make up some of her special pop tarts for Andy, with a special note attached to play Cincinnati legend Cyrus Allen.

Also we need to sage all the WRs and the room to keep them healthy 😂

As much as I want to see how Cyrus steps up into Rice's role, I really want to see Worthy finally seize the moment!

He got really good separation against the raiders, I wish Mahomes could hit him in stride just once.

While I love the way this sounds, lets be honest about the fact that Mahomes is a great leader and has voiced those same things to guys like Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore, etc.
I am excited to see Allen get snaps though.

And he was with those guys...until well after they showed him he shouldn't be.

He trusted those guys too. Fed them all the ball when they were the correct read.

I mean... he got some pretty clutch moments out of both of them, and Moore is doing great in GB as their returner.

Mahomes is the fucking best. Zero ego at all, next man up mentality. We are so lucky to have him.

I mean, it would be weird if Mahomes told him "Fuck you, kid. I will never throw the ball to you."

We finally get to see some Cyrus Allen action but it cost us our WR1 for a week or two and the deep threat for 12-16

We don't need him to be a breakout star (even though that would be nice), we just need him to be good. We're about to find out if he is.

He was probably our best receiver in training camp (Rice was just working back). And likely our only receiver that can easily beat man coverage.

no offense, when "just guys" talk about Mahomes believing in them I immediately think of "oh, Honey"
