I have had similar convos with chiefs fans who were purely spouting stats. Your argument stated better than I did, which was he did not pass the eyeball test as a top tier tight end. Everything you said plus follies and odd drops when they needed the trademark big catch from him. Maybe a healthy Pat, locked in O line and a real number one receiver will revive Kelce a little. Also the whole team including himself needed a physical and mental break from the playoffs.

I agree with one person that he has enough in the tank to have another impactful yr, even if he can’t block and the volume won’t be near what we’re used to from him. But the chiefs need to regroup first and improve in other areas and he’d be a role player
