Retire, Kelce

[PolarVortex]

I wonder if Swift is sterile... or a man... hmm. She's been through a lot of guys. Maybe she just hires escorts for her boyfriends and lets them bang that while she does something else...

hmm... what else would Taylor Swift do outside of singing. Chess? No, no. KNITTING!? Erm, in hindsight she's tall with bigger hands, that's not helpful. hmmmz...... I got it! An aquarium builder! Long hands to put the glass together, she can hover over the fishes, kind of looks like a fish, has silicone now to provide buoyancy if she needs to intervene a fish fight!

Well I'm glad now we know.

She's been accused of being a 'beard' which is Hollywood-speak for being a woman who publicly dates a homosexual man who is in the closet with his sexuality while agents want him promoted as a strong heterosexual presence. That probably works for her as she probably has had, at this point in her career, little to no maternal instints, so does not feel compelled to pursue deeper emotional relationships with heterosexual men.

But, meh, that is just my inner amateur psychologist bullshit rambling about. I really don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

I hope he retires. Not because I’m tired of seeing him (I am) but because I hate seeing legendary players looking like a shadow of themselves. Retire before you become a below average player.

Yep. This right here. I'm tired of seeing it in football and baseball as well.

Well God Damn, Polar...

He did in the AFC once the Chiefs made that move.

Being better than Wanya Morris ain't really holding it down.

Kelce still has gas in the tank. The Eagle defense had something to do with Kelce. Patrick had very little time to throw left or right, where Kelce excels. No Kelce is still a top receiver a go to. 1 game doesn't kill his career, his season was impacted by the receiving corps.
Kelce could start for any team, why not KC?

I can agree to a certain extent. If Rice has the commissioner's blessing to play next year, and Pacheco comes back healthy, and Worthy continues to develop, there could be enough options for Mahomes that defenses would have to slack off of Kelce. If that is the case, he could have a decent season - say 80-85 catches, 850-900 yards, 5-8 TDs. But, that is alot of ifs.

And, just as importantly, that OL has to improve to the point that he has some decent time in the pocket.

 

[Iggloo]

He clearly slowed down this past season. And he looked skinnier.

He had 97 catches, still a huge total, but his 823 yards and 3 TDs were the lowest of his career.

While I think he certainly could play longer, I question how much fire in the belly he has at this stage to play football. Perhaps this loss will inspire him to re-commit for another year or two and go out on top.

He's always said he will play until the wheels fall off. He's still well in the top half of TE's. I would be surprised if he played at his current cap number, but coming back? Yeah, that's likely, imo. People bring up Swift but she's also a career oriented freak in her own industry.

Travis just looked lost, like he has never experienced losing before on that level...and there was very little he as a player could do to turn it around.

it was 100% a showing that football is a team game and it takes more than the big stars on a team to win a game. The Eagles had that on full display. They won with Barkley being pretty much contained and that looked to be the only thing that went KC's way.

Travis could only do so much, but he was pretty covered throughout the game....he had no chance to make an impact.

this is how the Eagles prepped for Kelce

seriously...the dude may be a little past his prime, but he is still legit.

I remember when people were calling for Jason to retire because he had a season or 2 where he was off back in 2015 or 2016. He came back and had All Pro seasons until he retired. Travis still has plenty left.

 

[LogicMan]

I would play out the contract. There may still be another ring in Mahomes career

 

[navamind]

Frankly, I'm tired of hearing about all the Kelces. Jason retired and now we see him more than ever on commercials, pregame shows, eck settra. I can imagine it'll be the same for Travis. And their un-bangable mom, too

Agreed. Jason was an awesome player, but I can't say he was one of my favorites either.

they are both cashing in on their careers and taking contracts left and right...I don't blame them. Ride that popularity as long as you can and get that money.

Jason is fucking 37 and his career on the field is done. He needs to do what he can to keep bringing in money. They have a very successful podcast, as does Jason's wife...and they have a 4th daughter on the way. They are going to have some expensive college bills to pay
