Look at the way the Chiefs spread the ball around. Look at all of the different players that were targeted on Monday night. Reid and Smith spread the ball around, no question about that.
So why is Hemingway not getting as many targets in a system that LOVES to spread the ball around despite the fact that he's frequently on the field? Maybe...just maybe....he's not as good as you think he is.

I didn't realize Reid and Dorsey felt an allegiance to Pioli's picks, considering his best year came under those two.

And after his best year he was let walk and replaced by a fourth round rookie. Again, he was a decent possession slot wr, picked about 3 rounds too soon |

Me saying I think Hemingway is better than Dex speaks to the fact that I don't think Dexter was very good,more so than anything with Hemingway. |

Your point was that Hemingway is better. There is nothing to support that argument. And devolving it into "He was drafted too high" doesn't change that, but it does show where the source of your bias comes from.

Hemingway is what...like 4th or 5th read when he's on the field? That's not going to get you a lot of targets.
Bowe, Charles, Fasano, Avery, Kelce are all higher than him when it comes to reads. And it's not like their running plays where Hemingway is the primary read. |

Not only that, but the only difference between last year's offensive players and this years is Kelce. Despite pretty much having the same players, Dexter still saw more targets last season than Hemingway is seeing. Hell, he saw more targets even with Hemingway ON THE TEAM. Why? According to you, Hemingway is better than Dexter. The results and the facts simply to work with that line of thinking.

Hemingway has a job to do and he does it. He's Hank Basket or James Thrash or whatever shitty WR you want to compare him to that was 3rd/4th on the depth chart in Philly. The Chiefs WRs don't suck because Hemingway is the 4th option. They suck because of options #1-3. |

The question is, why isn't he higher up on the list? Probably because he isn't as A. Reliable or B. Simply as good. Yet McCluster seemed to get his targets despite having those exact players on the team. Why?

Let's look at the first drive of the season.
3 yd Run - No Hemingway 6 yd Run - Hemingway as a potential blocker 14 yard swing pass - Hemingway as a potential blocker 3 yd Pass - Hemingway wide open (not targeted) 4 yd FB run - No Hemingway Passing play/Smith Sacked - Hemingway WIDE open. I'm done checking this game because A)it's depressing and B)Bowe was out so that is going to skew things. I'll check a few more drives from other games and I'll bet you you'll see the same situation. |

Hemingway might have the potential to be better than McCluster but until he actually DOES IT then he is just a ST guy who can block. So you think that Reid just doesn't feel like using Hemingway for no reason? There is a reason and since Hemingway seems to have the physical ability it only make sense that it's the mental aspect of the game. McCluster wasn't great but at least he actually DID something. still waiting on Hemingway

And it STILL has nothing to do with why Hemingway isn't being targeted. We already know that he's a good blocking receiver.

Either Smith doesn't have the trust in Hemingway to look his way when he's in trouble or Hemingway isn't anything but the 3rd or 4th read on a play. And if the latter is the case....our offensive line wouldn't let Smith get past his 2nd read before he had to run. |
