Maclin's 2014 season would have been all-time Chiefs best
Just read that in an article...
"85 catches, 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns he had last season would have been the best all-around receiving year in Chiefs history." http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...as-city-chiefs |
Derrick Alexander does not agree
|
If we're basing it solely off of statistics, I'd rather have 72 catches for 1,162 yards and 15 TDs.

I would take Otis Taylor's 58 catches for 1,297 yards and 8 TDs in a 14-game season in 1966.
|
Not to mention Alex has never come close to feeding a single WR at that level.
|
Eagles had like 30 percent more passing plays than the Chiefs or something absurd.

Otis Taylor averaged over 22 yards per reception in 1966. Think about that. He AVERAGED 22 yards per reception. That's insane.

Not really. The Eagles ran the fastest pace in the league. They had qbs who weren't terrified of a forward pass. |
Well..at least KC has a legit #1 WR for a WC offense now. I really think it's going to have a significant impact on the offense as a whole.
It's a number's game and Bowe didn't require two defenders to account for him. The way Reid designs plays...someone is going to be open. If I played FF..I would draft Kelce. I think he is going to be an immediate beneficiary of having Maclin on the team. |

The biggest reason wears number 11 |
LMAO
He will never hit those numbers here Maybe if he was a tight end he coul get a couple touchdowns at least |
I'm guessing 70 catches, 900 yards, 6 TDs for Maclin this year. He'll help balance things out some as he is better than Bowe, but we aren't going to see a transformation.

Nope. Just the jersey pointing. |

So is Tony Gonzalez the one lone player in franchise history to have 100 plus catches in a single season?

They were too wored out on game day to catch the ball. |

He also ran the best routes of any receiver ever. |

I've only been a fan since 98 but DA was by far the biggest threat at WR since then.
He not only made Girlbac look good he was actually open and reliable when the game was on the line... |

Does anyone think that Maclin has a chance to be this franchises third most productive receiver behind Bowe and Taylor?

Crabtree missed 6 games 2009-2011
Still got 302 targets still. Only 24th most of all WR but 49ers were 29th in total pass attempts. Vernon Davis is not a well rounded weapon in the pass game you can't feed him targets like Tony G getting 150 a year. Crabtree had the hype and when he slipped a bit to 10th pick as a guy some hyped as the best prospect in the draft. When he was on the field he was given chances. 23% of passes went towards him. He lacked 'it'. He is not a top flight athlete at WR. And missing all the time holding out and foot or something stopped him from getting any preseason action in 2010 or 2011. He was not good #1 WR. He caught 58% of passes to him for 13 yards a catch Josh Morgan caught 62% for 13 yards a catch They tried to move him off typical #1 WR playing outside position in 2011 with Braylon Edwards being signed. They were able to do it in 2012 and Crabtree was able to reach his potential in 2012 with some dominating numbers in the slot with Smith. The run with Kaepernick forcing him passes was not something that could be sustained. |

Alex started 9 games that year. Kaepernick started 7. Look up Crabtree's splits. He had significantly more yards per game under kaepernick. |

They're going to counter that Vernon Davis' numbers took a dip at the same time |

Everyone's numbers went down except for Crabtree. 50% of Kaeps passes went to Crabtree. Ironically, if kaepernick had just looked at Vernon Davis on fourth down instead of forcing it to Crabtree they win the super bowl. But yes crabtree's numbers sky rocketed. |
