Elway-type talent can.

Could Aaron's talent overcome an atrocious offensive line and the worst coaching KC has ever had?

Aaron stepped onto a team that was coming off a 13-3 season that had a pretty good O-Line and excellent receivers. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking he would have done that well here.

That's all we have had as Chiefs fans lately.



Pathetic.

When Rodgers was drafted the Chiefs were still a pretty solid team for the most part. It is reasonable to think if they had a young QB they felt was the future sitting behind Green they'd have put alot more resources into prepping to replace the older offensive players than they did.

Who thought DJ was not going to be a great LB? That was the only foresight needed.

I can hit you back with LB's aren't worth first rounders.

The 14 teams that passed on him, even though he was supposedly thought of as a Top 5 pick?

I remember that year...and how many of us were like "No we want DJ not DeMarcus Ware"

By the time he would have been ready Shields would have been retired. Besides, if I remember correctly, KC was in full overboard mode in fixing Defense. The savior Herm was going to turn things around on that side of the ball, hence the reason they tried to get him some players. Offense wasn't a problem then, so I doubt they would have put anything more into it.

All hypothetical. Looking back, hell ya I would take Rodgers. I believe he would have been wasted with our pathetic coaching.

Ware wouldnt thrive in a 4-3 like he does in the 3-4. He's a rushbacker

Ware would have been a DE in a 4-3.

If anyone saw DJ in college he was making plays Ever ****ing play. INT's Sacks, tackles for losses, stripping balls, getting under full backs. He looked like a bad ass and has shown flashes here and there. Just hasn't panned out, guys are just a bit faster and fatter at the pro level and he can't weave slice like he did at texas

so what we learn here is Texas plays teams occasionally smaller than them and to never draft a player from Texas again.

The hell you say.

I can't believe DJ is now relegated to 3rd string. That really...really...sucks. I hope he can turn it around this year, but last year was the last chance at a possible break out year. At this point, I think he is what he is. Just OK.

And Carl wouldn't have paid Ware or Allen.....so we'd still be dicked.
