    I dunno..

    Bucs and Browns fan here.

    Both are supposedly "loaded"

    I'm in "Show Me, Don't tell me" mode with both.  😵

  • This "loaded" team better score a ton of points because I still see a defense that is mediocre at best.

    Yup... like 'cube said, the LBs are suspect.

    For me the key is what we do with our Safety trio. If a really good hybrid LB emerges, then we have a shot at being improved as our "LB room" will only have to supply two starters.

    Well both's Offense are strongest part of their team...

    ... and that's where the similarity ends. 😉

    Yea, let's not get crazy and say Hooper is the #1 TE. 

    But, as I said, he IS in the picture.    What Metric would you like to use to determine the best?    If you go with the basics:  yards and TDs and catches , then you have this:

    Top Ten TEs in yards receiving:

    1. Darren Waller   Raiders

    2. George Kittle  SFO

    3. Zach Ertz  Philly

    4. Mark Andrews   Balt.

    5.  Hooper

    6. Tyler Higbee  Rams 

    7 Jared Cook   Saints

    8. Hunter Henry  Chargers

    9. Dallas Goedert  Philly

    10. Greg Olsen....Carolina

    If you go by  TDs you have:

    1. Andrews   10

    2. Jared Cook  9

    3.  Ertz,  Hooper,  Kyle Rudolph (Minn)  6 each

    7. Kittle,  Henry, Goedert,   Kelce  KC;  Mike Gesicki Miami/Ryan Griffin NYJ and Foster Moreau  Raiders;   5 each.

    If you go by straight number of catches you have:

    1. Kelce

    2. Waller

    3.Ertz

    4. Kittle

    5. Hooper

    So....Hooper IS in the Top 5 of each of those categories.  The ONLY other guy to be in the Top 5 of each category is Zach Ertz. 

    So, maybe it is NOT so crazy to argue that he may be the #1 TE in the league.

    Combine that with teams going to be forced to reckon with a hungry and healed up Njoku! I still feel the sky is the limit for the Chief!

    Let's not forget who he had throwing him the ball: Matty Ice, a known probowl QB. The projections I see have Hooper at #10 TE in 2020. I concur with that assessment. 2020 season won't end with anyone saying Hooper is the #1 TE in the league. Don't get me wrong, he is an upgrade.

    Njoku has to show me; all he has displayed so far is "potential." And you know what they say: If you have "potential" pencilled after your name for more than 2 years, without the word "production" you're gonna have the word "potential" written in pen instead of pencil.

    Let's meet halfway....#4 or 5.    Which is where he was last year.

    Wings are my favorite part.
