Kolek planning to go pro
??? He's their leading rusher and third leading receiver. Unless you have Dalvin Cook or Derrick Henry, this is how you use a running back these days.
He doesn't get the ball in the red zone. Hes basically a time share with Williams and thats god forbid if they do run the ball. HIs attempts and percentage of attempts are far lower than most of the other top 10ish backs.Pack love their Rodgers td stat padding they will let Aaron throw 4 times from the 1 before giving it to Jones.His average carries per game are more middling compared to other top flight backs as well.Rodgers is the MVP right now so it's not exactly a bad thing to let him fling it. Unless youre Jones and you are looking to get paid and treated like a top NFL back. Which is why I think he goes elsewhere.
Disagree with you on Jones. They keep him fresh for the entire season by not giving him 25-30 touches a game like Henry. Henry is 250 pounds, Jones is 205. Same reason why Murray gets so many carries in NO. Come playoffs, Kamala isn’t beaten up. If GB wants a guy who is perhaps the best passer in history to throw a lot, I am good with it.
JOnes gets like 14.5 touches per game. Long way to go before we start talking 25-30.Kamara has about 40 more catches than Jones, he gets his touches in different ways.Jones is good enough to be a weapon in the red zone(and everywhere on the field). So this is strictly about him seeing himself as such and looking elsewhere. It's not about whether the Packers should limit Rodgers.
Exactly. Read up on what Ried thought about him after the Chiefs worked him out. Heck, Alex Smith had them at like 12-4 and was in the MVP discussion the first half of the year Mahomes’s rookie year and they traded him away.Also, while “all 32 teams didn't mortgage the farm,” not all 32 teams traded picks to move up a single spot to take a guy who would’ve been there had they stayed where they were and who had started one year in college.
Alex Smith broke his leg and nearly died from the staff infection that followed. That is why Mahomes got his shot his rookie year. E-60 did an entire 1-hour special on this. What you wrote is not the way it went down.And I have read up on what Andy Reid thought of Mahomes. Show me the part where he thought Mahomes was a once in a generation QB, the Michael Jordan of the NFL? And Reid was so sure of this the Chiefs were willing to wait for the 10th pick to get him, knowing that at least the Bears were picking a QB ahead of them. And then he was going to let this unbelievable talent sit for 12 games behind Alex Smith until Smith broke his leg before he got his shot.Yes, he thought Mahomes would be good., Bit NO ONE thought he was going to be this good. If anyone did think Mahomes was going to be this good, they would give whatever was necessary to jump up in the draft to get him. No one did.This is not the first time this has happened in the NFL, QB vastly outperformed their projections. See Brady, Rogers, Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, etc.
Lol you are wrong. Hilariously wrong. Alex Smith already was on Washington when he broke his leg. The Chiefs let him leave because they knew Mahomes was better.
Did they know he was a transformational QB when they drafted him? Or is that your after the fact revisionist history?And if "everyone knew?" Why only get not the bears case for passing on him? Why not get all 31 teams for not trying to get him?
Going from that MU win to this MNF game is like snorting cocaine (...I think).
Heisey going back in this topic, no one said “everybody knew” Mahomes would be this good. That’s was another made up quote to shift goalposts, which is your usual go to when you’ve been dunked on.
Chief's management would like to have a word -
Umm ... he didhttps://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=60782.msg1287570#msg1287570
Then maybe you shouldn’t label it as “stat padding.”
LOL, so Chief's management is "everyone?"Keep digging Heisey.
When it takes 3 tries and you're already up 21 and you don't give it to the running back.....it kinda is.The stats are the stats. He doesn't get the opportunities other top end backs get(Jones is really good back imo)and hes probably moving on. Unless the Pack flip the switch and offer him a crazy deal.
