See we sometime agree on a football subject.

By the way I wish Priest well in his retirement. I believe he belongs in the Chiefs Ring of Fame as the best runningback the Chiefs have had up to LJ. Only time will tell whether LJ will surpass him though it is likely.

Now, if by some miracle he did make it back, he would be nothing more than a backup. And a very expensive one at that. 33 years old (will be 34 on October 7th) is old for a running back in the NFL.


The only reason why I think he keeps on saying he wants to come back is he needs his tenth year played so he can get medical benefits from the league...

That column doesn't even mention the fact that Priest suffered a very serious hip injury while he was a Chief that had many worried about his return, and that he allayed much of those worries by setting about his recuperation with the same kind of grace, skill and class he showed while racking up all those KC Touchdowns:

I, for one, will not ever "get over" Priest. I don't "get over" great players who behave with complete class. Priest doesn't owe Chiefs or their fans a thing except to show up when he's inducted into the team's Hall of Fame. He always exceeded all reasonable expectations, even as the Chiefs ran him into the ground.

We need him in the redzone, LJ is so inferior to Priest there.

but you "archived" my post where I said I'd stop posting if he had 20 carries this year!

Can't wait to see "31" lining up in the backfield again. even if it's just a few plays during pre-season.

all bets are out, including Fatlocks. Not a great article IMO. Let's face it Priest was a champion, and he thinks he still has that ability to prove it once again. It's ok for us to be sceptical as to whether or not he can accomplish this, but for Fatass to question his motives is reeruned and cheap. Whitlock is the guy that thinks his wife is cheating on him, because he himself cheats. He's never had the heart of a champ therefore can't possibly understand the drive or desire that fuels the fire. I'm not saying that Priest can return to the form that made us love this guy, but I for one am sure as hell no going to say he can't. I I certainly don't think JW should be questioning his motives and by questioning Carls he's questioning Priests (takes two to tango Fatass and the fat man that can't dance thinks the band sucks) Translation: I'm sure as hell glad Carls running the day to day business ops of the Chiefs and not you.
