I’ve seen way too many of these takes since our loss and they’re just so laughably dumb. People saying that he has already checked out, or that his off the field interests have become more important to him than success with the Chiefs. (Or that somehow his love life is dragging him down.)
Kelce is the Chiefs’ leading receiver in basically every category that counts. Receptions, yards, TDs, YPC, you name it. But when you point that out people say, “well yeah, because our receivers suck…”
OK, they do - so how is Kelce doing vs other TEs in the league? How about this:
- #2 in receptions (with 2 fewer games played than #1)
- #3 in yards (again, fewer games than #1 and #2)
- #1 in yards/game
- Tied for #2 in TDs
Yeah, he’s lost a step, but the man is still balling out for this team while some of you act like he’s a shadow of his former self.
He’s having a terrible season. 8 out of 10 games he’s had 70 yards or LESS receiving. Drops. Fumbles. He looks old and slow. Friday night partying in Texas, 36 hours before a game in Denver. Flying to Argentina during a bye week then following it up with a game where he had a crucial drop and a fumble
Idk if he’s checked out or what. But this narrative that he’s having a tremendous season is laughable. He had 1 monster game. 1 real good game and 7 shit games
