Time to think ahead next draft. He won't become healthier with age.

Not really. How can you prioritize TE over corner, offensive tackle, maybe a guard,maybe a WR (Aiyuk's time to be extended). You're looking at early 4th round for a TE at best. Now honestly, I would do it, but to think of truly replacing Kittle, you have to be thinking 1st or 2nd round. Id just like a starting caliber guy as a pass catcher thst can block like a lineman lol.

You talking about a team that just drafted a fg kicker in the 3rd round.
Lol
I love John as a GM and I love Kyle as a coach, but man they've had some weird/bad picks. And dont give me the "every team has bad picks" spiel. We blew that theory out of the water this offseason

if that were true we wouldn't be a top team the last 4 years

I find it funny everyone keeps bringing up his age and calling him old when he is currently 29 lol. Kelce is 33 and still going strong.

And Kelce has shown way more durability that Kittle throughout their careers.

Or maybe Kittle is just crazy with his body taking hits and the defenses we have played over the years have been much more physical.

He certainly doesn't block like Kittle, but is a way better receiver than Kittle, that's the reality. In the end idf*g about Kelce. I just want Kittle on the field, but the dude always has an injury.

Its part of the reason I want a TE that is at or near his level as a blocker and can just be a competent, average pass catcher (trying to be realistic). Id like for his blocking duties to decrease substantially and for him to be primarily used as s receiver. It won't happen this year, but maybe, hopefully next.

I disagree that he's way better hell I disagree that he's the better receiver period Kittle was breaking records with Beatherd & Mullins at QB, I'd imagine Kittle would put up pretty similar numbers to Kelce in that offense with Mahomes at QB, it's all about how they're used.

Kittle doesn't even have as close to as many targets or receptions but if he did he would blow Kelce out of the water. (Like you said with Mullen's Beathard and company he broke the yardage record). He is better at getting yards after the catch, he is a lot faster and he is way more explosive. Kelce has nothing on Kittle except for a better quarterback that throws to him a lot more in an offense that makes him the primary receiver

I was looking at kelce stats throughout his career, amazing. He is 33 and still going strong. these days, if a player takes care of his body, can play much longer than they used to. Kittle is much more physical though - so we will see how he looks in 3-4 years. I think kittle will be fine though.
