LOL! on T.J. - I knew the second Pioli drafted him, that we were in DEEP SHIT with him running things.

This...

This should go down as one of the top 20 busts of all time...

Sounds good to me.


Stanzi should be cut...

Not to change the subject, but I keep hearing that McCluster could be a perfect fit for Andy Reid's offense. :eek:

Yeah, we took him early because the rumor was the Eagles had him high on their board.

:shake:

This is most likely true. I was operating solely on a premise of 'how would it be acceptable to sign Alex Smith?' and my answer is-IF we also draft our QBOTF. I think it's likely Alex ends up in Buffalo or the Jets or something.

I'd think NY or Arizona would be more likely than Buffalo IMO

Highly doubt Buffalo only becasue they are very loud about their desire to draft a QB in the 1st. They are more likely to get a QB in th 1st then w are,according to the "experts" anyways. Jets, I can see that all day.

Not sure what to make of this but here you go:

Sure, I could see that. (Jets I mean)

Interesting.

I f-ing hate Twitter...so damn vague!

I like how the article calls him an LG
Posted via Mobile Device

I stopped reading at "LG"

Is this the thread where the Chiefs have 14 million in unused cap to carry over to 2013 season is buried? It was PTF a day or two ago, no since trying to find it...

Updated...

If indeed in this FO's opinion Foles does have a high ceiling I think the Chiefs will pursue Alex Smith to start while developing Foles. The Geno or bust crowd will hate it but I'm willing to defer to Reid and Dorsey's qualified expertise and give them the benefit of the doubt (for now) if they go this way.

But if this is the way things will go down I think they will keep drafting young QBs (rounds 3, 4ish) in the next several years in case Foles hits a snag in his development.

I believe Ar made a statement about needing to be playoff/C'ship bound in three years. In that case, Alex Smith is a no go. IMO, best bet is Geno with Foles as backup or Geno with Alex Smith as bkup if he comes cheap , which he won't . So Alex smith goes to AZ to compete for and probly win the start gig. I'm in agreement with defering to AR and Dorsey's bonafides.

I would be all in on Foles as competition/backup to our first overall QB.

But any scenario that doesn't include a 1st round QB this year is not in any way satisfactory.

Since I was not/am not on board the Reid train (didn't like that he was the hire), that would be strike one.

What's wrong with Reid, and who did you want?

I've never liked his overall philosophy.

Even in today's NFL, I think he undervalues the running game and LB play.

I thought his best years were the ones in which Jim Johnson hid their LB deficiencies with exceptional blitz schemes, and Westbrook made the most of his limited opportunities as a runner.

Acquiring Foles, in addition to our own (legit) draft pick, would be a great move. We have to throw viable numbers at the position, given our dearth of current talent.

And the second part of that question is difficult to answer.

If you throw out the guidelines that Hunt set for himself in searching to replace the Pioli regime, I would like to have seen a Marc Ross GM combined with a guy like Ray Horton or my darkhorse favorite Marc Trestman.

The guy I really wanted, though, was David Shaw.

But that went out the window as soon as he signed an extension with Stanford.

Wesbrook had a 3 season stretch of 233 carries, 278 carries, and 240 carries before he broke down.

The past 3 seasons McCoy had 204 carries, 273 carries and 200 carries in an injury shortened season.

In that same time both RBs averaged about 60 catches per game.

If Reid uses that same Philosophy on Charles, I don't know how anyone could be mad.

I think he ignores the D altogether which is why I was hoping for a stronger DC choice, but I couldn't be more ready for an offensive minded coach who specializes in the QB.

Let me go at this from another angle.

In the last 10 years, a quick search (so I might have missed something) shows that the Eagles have more than 430 rushing attempts as a team in a season only once.

The Patriots, in that same time span, with the best QB in the game, have attempted fewer than 430 only once.

Margin of victory could have played a part in scewing those stats. I didn't look it up so I could be completely wrong, but I would think that NE had quite a few more blowout wins than Philly during this time span. When you are playing with a substantial lead, you tend to run the ball more. Now I agree that Reid prefers to throw the ball and I admittedly didn't look it up, but stats almost always don't tell the entire story.

I understand that stats can be misleading to an extent.

But this is in line with my belief from watching games that Reid undervalues the running game.

I like all of this brand new information with the word "could" in it.

Well, no ****ing shit.

The Chiefs COULD be interested in Joe Flacco if he doesn't re-sign with Baltimore.

I don't quite get your fascination with Trestman.

He was in Canada for 7 years.

Honestly, I know little about him, otherwise.

Serious question. What would it take to make you happy with a HC, GM or the Chiefs in general? Because I have never seen you happy with the team.

Competing for and winning SBs.

Reid competed for SBs for years, only lost one by 3 points, and you don't like him.

Obviously you missed the "winning" part of my post.

None of your choices have ever come as close as Reid to winning a SB.

That was the year the Patriots cheated, wasn't it? They still only won by 3.

This was my big knock on DV and I have to admit this is the biggest worry I have about Reid.

My hope is our former LB GM will influence a building of a good D.

None of my choices have ever had the opportunities that Reid has had.

We would have had him as our DC if AZ wasn't so butthurt about us stealing Andy from them.

I agree with him on Shaw. He was my top choice too. Actually to the point I did this just to see how it would be:

Would have loved to have had Shaw.

Maybe if Reid doesn't pan out?

I think Reid pans out. I'm biased but I think if Geno pans out + Reid's philosophies offensively + we still have 2-6 years with our current nucleus on the team performing at an above average level, then we'll be competitive for several years. Enough that Shaw will have made the leap to the NFL before we fire Reid/ he retires anyways.

Of course, I'm also banking on Charles staying healthy, Geno performing like a 1.1, Bowe thriving in a WCO that plays to his strengths in terms of YAC and route design, and Geno being able to eat people up with PA off our stretch play with Charles.


Shaw is ****ing awesome though and I'm while I'm more than happy with Reid, I think Shaw is going to make an excellent NFL HC one day.

Updated.... as you might expect, there's a lot of news, but nothing earth shattering.

Hope Lemon can get a roster spot. Guy was impressive pre-injury at OSU.

Updated

Reid had some pretty good defenses in Philly under Jim Johnson.

I'm not worried about Reid "ignoring" the defense...I am however worried about the overall underachieving coach we selected as DC...so in a sense I will agree with you, just from a different angle.

Updated...

The Chiefs may be asking for a player from Miami instead of a draft pick? Really? What player?

Ryan Tannehill!?

But seriously I still think we're trying like hell to trade it down. I mean it's alot more convenient for people who need a tackle if we're 50/50 on the top 2 and could take either one. We're basically saying, "You want em? Come get em."

Supposedly, the Chiefs may be trading Albert for a Miami player. Who? DT Ryan Starks? Would you be OK with that?

No...

Link?

Davone Bess has been floating around the trading block rumor mill today...

Bess for Albert? Sounds good to me.






































































Said nobody ever.

Lol if anything I suppose that would be Miami's way of "spicing up" their offer.

hopefully its for Matt Moore and their 2nd round pick for Alex Smith and BA

I literally can't think of any Dolphins I'd realistically want. If they still have Icognito I guess I'd take him

Hell I'd take Pouncey. But that's not happening.

Interesting about the difference of opinion between scouting dept and coaching staff.

I've been thinking for some time now that (assuming that pick is going to be LT) my heart wants Fisher but my head tells me that Joeckel is the better prospect. There's something appealing about an Olineman with a nasty streak, but realistically that doesn't necessarily translate to good LT play. Being too aggressive may make him susceptible to the techniques of the better NFL pass rushers. I know Joeckel has become public enemy #1 around here, but the trashing of his ability is mostly off base. He really is the best prospect on paper, and I think will have a successful NFL career.

Death.

Mostly towards you.

With giant parasitic worms that slowly eat your entire lower intestines...

To be clear, I think using the pick on a LT is a terrible idea.

I'm just saying that if its going to be a tackle, I think Joeckel is the better choice.

Updated: Albert to get a new, long term deal?

JFC. You know why you can't start new threads? Shit like this.

Dayne Crist LMAO

Okay, my bad. I should've read your OP. You're updating it with all of the KFFL news. Not my bag, but I certainly don't have a problem with that. Thread reopened.

wow don't know what really is going on here but I have a feeling there must be something to this John Wayne character on here. I never really have paid much attention to him. But damn you were quick, 7 minutes, on the banning there.
I take it Flop cannot stand this John Wayne character.

Not at all. He just can't start threads. And I didn't see he was doing an update to his OP. I thought he just bumped the thread to speculate Albert may be getting a new deal when there's an entire thread dedicated to it on the front page. He's not a bad guy. He just starts really shitty threads, and the board collectively is pretty happy he can't anymore. I don't dislike him one bit. He seems like a nice guy. He wasn't banned either. I just closed his thread mistakenly.

Ah. I just kind of noticed everyone always bitched about him, must of been the threads he started, so I just always avoided his threads.

MOD ABUSE!

MOD ABUSE!!!

Pretty much. I try not to be too hard on people, so if I **** up I'll own it and move on. I don't really dislike any regular poster here. I disagree with some, but I don't believe we have any genuine bad guys. Hell, the ones we do have are lovable in their own way.

"Help! Help! I'm being repressed! I'm being repressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system! See the violence inherent in the system! Did you see him repressing me? You saw it didn't you?" :clap:

Gee..... Thanks Floppy ! I love you too !:thumb:

Update: Good bye Trick Shot, we hardly knew thee.... I don't think the Chiefs are really trying to give Albert a new contract. I think they are bluffing and trying to drive up his trade value.

I wanted Greenwood to get a chance, but oh well.

What's up with all the safties?

S Corey Lynch (Chargers)
FS Malcolm Bronson (McNeese State)

They are the new blankly.

Just playing it........
















safe.
