Wanted to get people’s thoughts on this:
Do people legitimately hate Tyreek or is it just somewhat of an indifference? For me, I was super bummed when he left. I feel like chiefs fans started calling him out on chasing money instead of rings (which is true), and his “talking trash” was more of a defense against those accusations. I can’t blame him for talking highly about tua because that’s his qb. He seems like he still loves and appreciates his time as a chief and has a good relationship with many of his former teammates. I know it likely isn’t in the cards soon or ever, but I would legitimately love to have him back. No weapon in the league like him. He’s electrifying and fun to watch and a funny personality. I remember some of his crazy plays, him as a cheerleader against the Steelers and peacing bills dbs when he was in front of them in the divisional round. In my opinion, although he did say some things I don’t love, chiefs fans shouldn’t take it too harshly. Same with the Chris Jones situation. Obviously they’re different but both seem to love the chiefs and are great guys to have on the team
Full disclosure: I’m no expert on the Chiefs but they are the team I root for. Tyreek always struck me as a showboat. I know some people enjoy that but I’ve always been more of a “just do your job” kinda guy. Maybe that’s because I grew up watching Jerry Rice. When others would score a touchdown and celebrate like they cured cancer or something, Jerry would calmly hand the ball to the ref in the endzone like it was no big deal. The saying, “Act like you’ve been there before” comes to mind.
Tyreek is not that guy. I’m not a fan of celebrating when you’re just doing your job. Imagine the guys at the tire shop dancing, celebrating and high fiving each other when they put a set of tires on a car. Like, “Dude, that’s what you get paid to do. You get paid to do it because you’re good at it.”
Sorry if that offends. It’s just my opinion on the matter and why I never cared for Tyreek.
