Well the fact is, had those goons on the first page actually done any work on Kelce they would've loved the pick and would've seen the ability he has.

Instead it was all just "Oh GOD END OF WORLD KILL MYSELF *EMO CRY*"

And honestly, that first page is why I can't take CP or any Chiefs fan serious when discussing draft or football related things, unless I know them ahead of time and have had insightful football discussions with said person in the past.

To be fair, I didn't really nail anything in terms of my opinion about Kelce - only that knee jerk reactions are stupid.

Over a longer period of time, absolutely. I wouldn't trade their careers for Gronks at this point. The big thing is Gronk has been absolutely unable to stay healthy. By the time we get to the playoffs, he's either very limited, or completely out of action.

But when healthy, I've never seen a weapon like him at TE in my life. He's tied for second fastest (with Randy Moss) to 50 TDs among pass-catchers in NFL history. He's just a completely ridiculous weapon.

And he's only 25 years old!

If he can stay healthy, I wouldn't trade him for any pass-catcher in the NFL. Unfortunately, there's NO reason to believe he will stay healthy.

Oh yea. I have often said this should be called Overreaction Planet.

The draft is a crap shoot. Absolutely no one knows who will pan out and who won't.

I think this board lamented the pick more based on the circumstances rather than Kelce himself. Coming off a 2-14 season we draft a shit stain LT to replace an All-Pro we already had on the roster, then proceed to take a RB when we already had one that was top 5 at least, and a TE after we had just signed a solid starter in Fasano.

It's a lot like the Sherman trade. Ultimately, it appears to have worked out in our favor, but who's to say we couldn't have gone somewhere else that would have filled a more immediate need and been better off in the long run?

That's is some serious spin doctoring right there.

I do agree, a healthy gronk is probably the most dangerous TE to ever live

Should we bump the thread for every other player that busts and talk shit to the people who thought they were the greatest thing ever?

Nah, its a fair bargain dude... people that want to act like their opinions are always right and love crushing any dissenting opinions with scathing stings and these LMAO should be able to take a little bit of it back without getting all butt hurt about it.

Yes, we're ALL wrong about a great many things... but some people insist on slamming everyone else until they're proven wrong beyond a reasonable doubt, this is one of those times where folks are proven wrong without any question.

He might be 1/3 as good as Tony Gonzalez

RealSNR 11-06-2014 05:32 PM

And to be fair, the Chiefs had just drafted Eric ****ing Fisher with the #1 overall pick the day before.

I could have won the lottery on the day of the Kelce pick and I still would have been pissed.

To be fair to those people, they were coming off of years of Pioli abuse, and even more shit drafting in the Peterson era.

Like an abused dog, they flinched at every slightest movement.

It's ok now though. They've slowly been in recovery and they're learning to trust the hand that feeds.
