Kelce "I wasn't at full strength last year"
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...rength-in-2014
Travis Kelce became a revelation in 2014 and a cult figure for many Kansas City Chiefs fans. The tight end -- referred to by admirers as "Zeus" for his Greek-god-like physique and ability -- snagged 67 passes for 862 yards and five touchdown catches, leading the Chiefs in all three categories. Kelce told WKRK-FM in Cleveland on Thursday that he accomplished all that without being fully healthy. "Everybody last year thought I wasn't getting the reps I was supposed to at the beginning of the year but in reality I only had about a month before training camp where I was allowed to start running," he said, via Arrowheadpride.com. "If I went out there playing more snaps than I did, I mean who knows. I might not have been able to make it. My knee still wasn't full strength last year, which is why I'm excited about this year. Now I get the time to take a full offseason and get my legs ready and get my upper body and my explosiveness back that I know I really had. I didn't really feel that comfortable out there on the field but we made it work." If Kelce can turn in a performance that makes him the darling of the Fantasy Football world and earns him the nickname Zeus without being at full strength, well, hello 2015 thought his quotes were interesting. i know there was a lot of speculation here on why it took kelce so long to get his reps. alot of people thought health concerns, some thought blocking, playbook, reid being a dumbass etc. i'm excited to see what he can do with a full offseason. |

So is this his excuse for all the fumbles?

It's his excuse for only leading the team in receiving yards. Next year he'll lead the team in catches, yards, and touchdowns.
We haven't had a guy with his personality since Jared Allen. I love personalities in football. I wish we had more of them. |

I'm not even going into the fumbles stuff. I mean Jamaal Charles has bad hands catching the ball, but I'm never going to sit here and complain about him when he does EVERYTHING else so well.

And all you have to say is, "I miss McGrath and his ability to not fumble"?! You're why the football gods have cursed this team. They give you exactly what you want-- a team full of ol' reliables who's not good enough to beat teams in the playoffs. Then in the rare instance when they say, "Maybe that DenverChief guy isn't such a flaming reerun anymore. Let's put some real talent on his Chiefs," you act like an impatient asshole. |

I think te wise we got a lot spoiled with Tony. Yeah, Kelce had some fumbles and stupid moments, but he did awesome for essentially a first year te... Staying healthy, he's only going to get better.
