Charles interview on Grantland (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=274407)

I like this guy a whole lot - and honestly - I know nothing of his life, really.

Seems to have a heart of gold.

Damn you autocorrect!

Me: "Alex Smith is a mediocre game manager."

Homer: "No he isn't. He's a mildly competent game manager, damn it!"

I'm holding out hope that he can be a mildly competent game manager. That's about as optimistic as I get...

Interesting stat I wasn't aware.

In every game that Charles has 20 or more carries, he has run for 100 yards or more.

Mildly competent. Print ' em.

Did he really say that after he broke a 50 yard run he would only have to run for another 25 yards to get 100 yards?

Start a thread for the e-jerk? :)

Yes, but I assume in his situation, he hasn't carried the ball only once in the game.

3. Kansas City Chiefs

Arguments in favor: Massive upgrades at quarterback and coach, unusual level of core talent for subpar team, massive turnover differential, fumble recovery rate, friendly schedule

Arguments against: Limited upside of quarterback, astoundingly low level of performance last year

The Chiefs were outscored by better than 13 points per game last season, which was the 14th-largest margin in the NFL over the past 25 years. They were a 2-14 team that wasn't particularly unlucky to go 2-14 despite having six Pro Bowlers on their roster. What sort of promise can 2013 possibly hold?

Competence. That's what Alex Smith and Andy Reid can provide, even if greatness proves to be beyond their grasp. Ron Jaworski just placed Smith at 20th in his quarterback rankings. Twentieth doesn't sound all that great. But think about Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn for a moment. He's replacing a pair of quarterbacks who couldn't be trusted with throwing the ball in any but the most desperate moments last season. Upgrading from, say, the 45th-best quarterback in football to the 20th? That's the move the Colts pulled off last year when they traded in Curtis Painter for Andrew Luck.5 When your quarterback play is that dismal, even improving to league-average can be an enormous, multi-win upgrade.

And the numbers favor a Chiefs revival, too. Kansas City's turnover differential last year was a grotesque minus-24, which tied them for a spot in the cellar. That offense is extremely unlikely to throw 20 interceptions again with Smith at the helm, and the defense is likely to recover more than five fumbles this time around. The Chiefs recovered only one out of every three fumbles that hit the ground during their games, the third-lowest rate in the league. They also get to play the AFC South, the NFC East, the Bills, and the Browns, which is arguably the easiest schedule in the league. Believe in the Chiefs!

Welp... the defense kept KC in the game against the eventual World Champions...

Everyone seems to be forgetting about DMC. Dude is a stud.

DMC is going to be one of the more important pieces on this offense. His ability to get open in small spaces and quickness is perfect for Reid's offense and Smith's style. He isn't going to give you a deep threat, but those quick passing plays where you need 5-8 yards play right into Mcclusters strengths.
