Akeem Jordan - Andy Reid, the end
Adbullah - established player who took a year off that they jumped at first. This is just about them doing their job, correctly and being very organized to the fact that they could get a good young player cheap coming off a religious sabbatical, you make it seem like this dude was a scrub on the Vikings.
Schwartz - in case you were living under a rock, Fat Scott also wanted Geoff Schwartz the year prior when he signed with Minnesota, but Fat Scott being Fat Scott didn't get him. Andy Reid being Andy Reid, gets his guy.
as for the rest, it was John Dorsey being a GM and watching the numbers game from Seattle. Whoever Seattle cut he wanted, because he knew that talent was going to leave that team simply by roster bubbles, because they are the DEEPEST ****ING TEAM IN THE NFL THAT WON THE GOD DAMN ****ING SUPER BOWL. THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO COPY. That players 54-61 on Seattle were better than players 46-53 on the Chiefs. No shit they were. Does it take a rocket scientist to figure that one out? No it takes a GM other than Fat Scott to figure it out.
We won't be there first to reap the benefits of Seattle's cuts every year, is my point. You seem to think we will, so let's see who ends up right this year.
It's like you were so invested in Scott Pioli being awful that you think a normal GM doing an actual GM's job is some sort of god send. I understand why you would think that, but this is what normal GMs and coaches do. (hint: which is why there isn't many of them in the NFL.). These guys aren't scrubs in the sense of that they are complete nobodies, most them were scouted ten times over and drafted. Some of them victim of the numbers game by a team much better than the Chiefs. How dare Dorsey take advantage of that.
But you think this is some sustained model. That we can hold out the tip can and wait for whatever the 49ers and Seattle cut every year and reap the benefits. I'm telling you that it is harder than it looks.

Feel free to look at other 1.1's and see how they've done on the waiver wire. I can promise you they don't have many impact starters out of that haul.
Jordan, Schwartz, and Abdullah costed us less than a million. Which means that 31 teams looked at them, and didn't think they were starters, let alone quality backups. Sherman was acquired for pretty much nothing. And it's very possible that Watkins or Rishaw Johnson, or even AJ Jenkins could play a big role this year.
It's beyond me that you are actually making as many excuses as you are to avoid giving credit where credit is due. And actually passing it off as easy to find STARTERS out of waiver wire pickups and < 1M free agent signings. |
