Nothing new but more of the same is still good:

“Flat out, you’re not going to replace him,” Smith told Eisen. “There is literally only one Tyreek Hill in the whole NFL. He is that kind of difference-maker. I was fortunate enough to play my last two years there in Kansas City with him. Honestly, when he’s on the field, defenses play differently. He opens up so many other players around him because everybody is so fearful.”

That last sentence is awesome.

This has been my stance the past couple years and I’ve been reiterating again ever since the unexpected trade.

There isn’t a single non-QB in the NFL that impacts a game and the preparation leading up to the game as much as Tyreek Hill does. And he might even worry opposing coaches and alter game plans more than many QB’s do.

I compared Hill to an elite pass rusher in that he can finish a game with little to no production statistically, yet still have made a significant impact due to attention he drew away from others as well as the valuable prep time used to game plan against him — which often can result in defenses altering what they do best or would typically like to do.

It’s very hard to quantify the impact. But it’s there regardless.
 
Living close to KC it's hilarious how in denial the Chiefs fans around here are.

They have lost Matheau and Hill and still think they are gonna win the Super Bowl. They have no idea what the team will look like without Hill, he was as important as Mahomes in my opinon. Kelce never got double teamed due to Hill so not only with Mahomes struggle so will Kelce. They also have a worse defense than last year, their arrogance is mind boggling honestly.

BTW they all unanimously think Hill will suck because "Tua can't throw more then 5 yards"

I just can't wait to see their faces when we have a better record then they do entering December. It's gonna be glorious!

I like Miami's chances, but with the talent at wr in the draft the Chiefs might not find a Hill clone, but they could add a pair of prtty good rookies. Those rookies plus, Kelce, Hardman, Smith-Schuster and Valdes-Scantling could leave the Chiefs with plenty of weapons for Mahomes. I think KC will still be a offemse to worry about.

Alex Smith, like Tua didn't have a great arm, but he led the league in passing one season with the Chiefs and Hill. Tua might not be Mahomes, but I dare people to say he can't be Alex Smith. If Tua is close to what Smith was that season I think MIami could in store for some good times ahead.

Absolutely. This is about crafting your offence around the skills you have.

The thing about Smith was he didn’t have a clutch gene. He was a great and smart QB. And won everywhere he was but Tua strikes me as a gamer, as a guy who wants the ball at the end. Which once in the playoffs I believe can have more success than Smith ultimately did.
 
The more I think about it the more I can see we didn’t give up all that much to get Hill......we do have his big contract to deal with but the picks we gave KC was not bad for such a talented WR.

Hill as important as Mahomes? 32 out of 32 teams would rather have a top 3 QB as opposed to a top 3 WR. No elite WR is as important as an elite QB.

I essentially see it as 29/50. The 2 4ths and 6th are such wild crap shoots where you more than likely find a decent role player at best imo I know there are stars that grow from there but it’s rare.

Unless like Hutchinson fell to 29 and Linderbaum fell to 50 which they won’t lol nobody Miami got at both those picks combined would have the ability and possible impact of Hill

If Alex Smith is Tua’s career trajectory then the Tua haters will never let up. They need fantasy football covers, highlight reels, and video game ratings. Personally I see Alex smith as Tua’s floor and think he’ll hit somewhere between Smith and Brees. Hopefully much closer to Brees.

Everyone is talking Hill and rightfully so but please someone mark this post, this is Gesicki’s pro bowl year.

As a defense, who are you game-planning for; Hill, Waddle or the TE?

Lots of mesh routes which DBs tucking tail and running with the speed guys and nobody in the middle of the field.

Word of advice Mike, STOP TRYING TO JUMP OVER PEOPLE. Just run dude

But you can’t blame them. They have a future Hall of Fame QB.

When Marino was on the field, there wasn’t a deficit we could not come back from nor was there a season in which we did not have a chance at making a SB and the playoffs was a given.
