He had an injury bothering him most of the season.

Maclin just doesnt get the volume he should from this scheme. I dont know if its the QB or Andy but youre paying a WR 11 million he should get more than 6 targets a game, he should be peppered and one of the main focal points regardless. For a WR to produce you need to just give him volume, when that stops of course his numbers will dip.

Granted he might have been hurt and out there as a decoy but he looked okay down the stretch and they still didnt feed him.

He was pathetic even before the injury.

Exactly. It's just click bait to keep the ad revenue flowing.

Chiefs Rumor: Vegas odds of Romo to the Chiefs.

http://www.espn.com/blog/nfl/rumors/...land-tony-romo

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Many of the odds that have come out of Las Vegas in recent weeks had given the Kansas City Chiefs the fifth- or sixth-best chance among NFL teams to acquire quarterback Tony Romo when he gets his trade or release from the Dallas Cowboys.

That seems reasonable. While the Chiefs need to at least look into the possibility of acquiring Romo and they may indeed be intense players when this sweepstakes gets serious, they should not be considered favorites. Other teams, most notably the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, may be more motivated to make such a move and could be more attractive destinations to Romo than Kansas City.

Then Bovada comes out Wednesday with odds of 7-2 that Romo will be playing for the Chiefs when the 2017 season begins. Those odds are second behind only the Broncos at 3-1.

While the Chiefs certainly can’t be dismissed yet from this competition, it’s a bit much to suggest that they’re one of the favorites to land Romo -- for a variety of reasons.

Not that this will necessarily be the determining factor, but it’s interesting to note the Chiefs are the only team among Bovada’s favorites that have an established starting quarterback. Denver will otherwise choose between Paxton Lynch and Trevor Siemian, Houston between Tom Savage and Brock Osweiler. The Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills and New York Jets don’t or probably soon won’t have a legitimate candidate to be a starter on their roster.

The Chiefs are committed, at least publicly, to Alex Smith.

That doesn’t mean they won’t be more determined to acquire Romo than the other teams. It does mean they have more to lose than any of the others in chasing Romo and missing out.

If any of the other teams bid for Romo and don’t get him, they’ve lost nothing. They’ll either find their starting quarterbacks by -- in the cases of the Broncos and Texans -- choosing among existing options, or they will have to look elsewhere.

The Chiefs face some serious and perhaps irreparable damage if they’re involved with Romo and lose. Then they’ve publicly declared with their actions, if not their words, that they don’t think Smith is good enough, and that easily could turn into a problem in their locker room.

The Chiefs are really the only ones on Bovada’s list of favorites that would be pushing all of their chips to the middle of the table by going after Romo. So they need to tread carefully here.

That’s why I wouldn’t consider them favorites for Romo at this point. They may indeed not get involved in this at all unless they’re convinced they will win.

IMO it's not a coincidence that WRs get "disinterested" after a year with Alex Smith and the thought they are stuck with him going forward sinks in.

It's hard to give full effort when the reward isn't there.

I bet Tyreek is super pissed that Alex didn't feed him on either wide open route in the playoff game.

I'd be.

If you think Vegas bets millions on unsubstantiated rumors, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Everybody has to think that's surprising for Vegas to set the odds like that when Andy has backed Smith.

I knew all of this back in at least 2015, but didnt really start giving voice to it until this year... it is VERY apparent that Smiths playmakers get down on him, that their morale often suffers playing for him

They dont come out and say it, but if you just watch the games you can plainly see the slumped shoulders and looks of resignation as they come off the field after being missed, or more often, not even targeted when they're wide ****ing open out there, again and again and again

Reid is a great leader so we dont see it manifested openly, but I'd bet everything of value I own that his skill players are SICK of Smith

Completely agree.

No question.

If reid was smart he'd just call a deep pass to Hill every play.
