Man that was bad..easy score just turn and catch, and he was utterly clueless.
I have to assume that was a called run play, audibled to a quick hitter and AJ missed it, because he was doing the WR version of run blocking, but ...geesh..lol

Now we'll see a more even field, except that Mayfield is coming off an injury and also surgery, hasn't been able to stay in shape or work out properly,
He did have to pass a physical, so he can’t be a complete wreck.

non-throwing shoulder too, so not really as big of an issue for recovery, imo, but its not my shoulder

Oh not a wreck, but is he ready to get hit in the shoulder that had surgery yet? He missed mini camp didn't he? Surgery can leave you feeling tender.

The Athletic's Nate Taylor considers Ronald Jones a "legit candidate" to earn the Chiefs' starting job over Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Nate has been busy lately-

Given the competition, I sure wouldn't rule it out.

However, RoJo always is amazing in shorts and shells, it's game time where the shine wears off.

I will say this though, he has shown me more than I ever thought he had in him. Still not a good RB, but better than the complete bust I had him pegged as (similar to his competition, CEH)
Rojos advanced metrics last year in limited use were stellar

He was tough (and stupid) enough to go back out there with his shoulder needing surgery. The problem would be if favoring it last year screwed him up in a lasting way.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

Thought this was old news about Mayfield's shoulder.
It was his non-throwing shoulder.

I think it shows his character.
Tough it out. Put the team first.

Maybe Mayfield isn't that good?
But I like guys who grit it out.
:2cents:

Did he miss mini camp, or did the team he plays for trade for another QB which prompted all parties involved to just stay in opposite corners?

Well we've been down the "metrics in limited use" road before.
We have. Sorry i was half awake when i posted that. I had literally just read the blurb and didnt attach the link. Thing is i actually think rojo isnt bad. I do think hes gotten VERY good inside. Outside eh hes ok. Overall i think hes become a middle of the road back. Which imo is better than che currently. Also wheoever said hardman and gadget player…yes!!!! Been saying this since he was drafted.

Well I'll easily concede, like I had mentioned, he's shown more than I ever thought he had in him. I thought he'd wash out within 2-3 years.
But that's just about it. What he has done, when watching his film, it's obviously everything he's got in him, and it's just adequate at best.
So I'll give him-, he's got a maximum effort appeal, he doesn't give up, and he's not terrible.

But he's just not good in general..I'd actually prefer Gus, CJ, or Alf, if I were fielding a team.

I'm still not impressed with Jones but some how he's still relevant in the NFL sort of. Andy Reid seems to like try doing unusual moves with his RBs from making Damein Williams a starting RB, to using a first for CEH over more talented RBs, now using Jones over CEH ....maybe. I still think Jones is a JAG.

Oh wow. I would type more, but I truly need a minute to process @TREFF not only saying he’d prefer alf over anyone, but Gus-CJ-Alf all at once?!??! I mean, thats just crazy talk. Im questioning life.:pound:

upon further review, I rescind my inclusion of Gus to that list, but the others remain. :)
