These guys are below the cream of the college crop. Roll your eyes all you want, the fact remains that success in NFLE doesn't automatically translate to success in the NFL. I'm not saying He has not shot, just that I'm viewing his performance from a realistic stance. If you want to start his Hall of Fame campaign, be my guest. I'm just a little skeptical.

Especially since it's tackling. Like I said in my other post, any football league is going to have someone that leads in tackling. Someone has to make the tackles.

I think he would be able to be replaced and effectively, don't you??

You give props but then try to take them away ?

You will always have a player that leads the team in tackles as much weak defensive team will have a top 10 tackler in the league stats. If a team is on the field often, they are going to see or have many plays ran against them, thus having somebody with a high stat total.

The fact that Rich is leading the NFLE in tackles, what's even more amazing is it's in less plays per game than any other team or player.
I have always said not only does he have the ability to make tackles, he is always around the ball and in position to make plays. That starts in the head, readding the play and being in position to make a play. That kind of player will excell in the NFL if given a chance.

I expect Rich to be the backup MLB and (the all world ) Grigsby to be moved to the OLB to utilize his speed. After all, Gun wants more speed in his defense.

Yes. It's called cautious optimism.

Some people aroud here could probably stand to practice it themselves. It might help keep them from becoming the butt of jokes for making outlandish claims and predictions based on performance in a less than authentic setting.

True, but when said one does see talent that others do not and speaks of it, to back down shows a weak side. In the long run when said one is proven right the the credibility duely noted.

Remember , he who laughs last laughs the loudest ! ROFL

And that's where you are wrong. A lot of these guys are mid-to-late round draft picks and free agents who need more playing time to fine-tune a part of their game.

Scott Connot is a perfect example- his play overseas is proving he knows how to get to the ball and that translates well to the NFL.

Again- I'm not saying any of these guys are immediate starters, but they CAN be contributors....

Let's put it this way- why the ***** would the NFL teams send these guys, and pay these guys to challenge for a spot in the NFL if, by your terms- they have no chance? Seems like a lot of wasted money to me....

Bob Dole thinks you undervalue Blaylock's speed and vision.

We'll see...

The thing about scanlon is that a certain poster has run him into the ground. When reading about him in this article my thoughts were : Right on that's great.... ahhh crap we'll have to read about how he's the next coming for a month.....

To be fair to rich scanlon, people have complained about who he has played against... yet they think boomer is starting material. I would think that nfl europe is much stiffer competition than division 1aa! hopefully both will contribute to the chiefs this year :hmmm:

And to think that Rich's talent exceled against top NCAA teams does nothing for his ability to many members ? But an NCAA 1AA talented player with a firery tounge just what the Chiefs need ?

Actually, what the Chiefs <b>need</b> is more attractive cheerleaders.

This is no baby BB, speak what you mean . I have balls, do you ? If you are in fact speaking of me, say it, I could handle the critics.

Run him in the ground ? Isn't that what many here are doing without seeing his talents ?

If anybody here watches NFLEuro, how has the Texans QB Ragone looked. He is sitting behind Carr on the Texans depth chart, and has to be comming up for free agency sometime in the next couple of years I would think. I always liked him when he was at Louisville, and was wondering if he is showing much this season? Could he be a potential QBOTF candidate for the Chiefs?

IIRC we cut Connot around the time we signed Knight

I agree, the Chiefs cheerleaders are dead last in the league .... # 32
