Amazing how people will ignore common sense to keep their "blank check" argument alive.

Whatever, Jerry Jones.

'salary cap' is code for "i care about Clark's money more than winning"

nothing about Bowe's contract is going to hamper us in the least...

take whatever random number the "i worry about Clark's money" crowd claims is the limit..add $10 million over the life of the contract...guess what happens to the chiefs?

yea, nothing...

but maybe we're saving Bowe's money to resign Carr

You said earlier that he should be paid commensurate with his body of work.
No reason to lose sight of that because there's extra money available.
Surely there are other ways that money can be spent.

I'm all for paying Bowe, handsomely, but there should be a limit to what they'll offer him.

Absolutely. And clearly, the Chiefs low balled him or he'd have a deal.

Surely. But where? Carr is gone. The right tackle is locked up. DJ, Hali, Berry, Flowers, Breaston, Boss and Charles have all been "paid".

Should the Chiefs give Albert and Dorsey enormous deals that push out both Bowe and Carr? Not only does that seem unlikely, it wouldn't be in line with Pioli's M.O.

So where does this cap savings end up? I'd suggest looking no further than Clark Hunt's wallet.

I don't think that any reasonable person would suggest that Bowe be paid more than he's worth. Now sure, that "worth" is probably more to a receiver starved team like the Chiefs but I'm betting on the open market, teams like Denver, Baltimore, Indy, the Giants, Eagles, etc. would "overpay" him.

I don't think that too many Chiefs fans expected Carr to get $10 million per on the open market. And I'm pretty sure they'd be shocked at Bowe's price on the open market as well.

IMO, there was no reason for this to happen. Bowe should have been locked up so the team could move on to 2013 decisions like Albert, Dorsey and of course, a QB.

This team is an eternal dog, and no wonder. Half the fans excuse it over and over again. wrings hands "Oh gosh Clark don't spend all daddy's money on this guy we might end up in salary cap hell even thought that's never happened in the history of the salary cap". Jesus Christ.

and "salary cap hell" is a bigger concern than you know having sucked ass for decades...

pretty much like drafting a QB is too risky...we might break our unbroken streak of sucking ass

Sorry, how is in any way any fans fault the team is a dog?

FYP.

The fans excuse the final product and continue going to games and supporting the team.

"There's always next year!"

How many times did salary cap hell actually occur? The 49ers in the late 90s/early aughts?

Did it even happen again?

Assuming we don't spend too much money, of course.

"We could be the (insert name of team that participates in FA)!!!!! And that's bad business!!!11"

So be mad at all the fans that go to the games. But what do you mean excuse the final product?

If fans have that much power, I guess those that are angry just aren't doing enough to change things, and should try harder.

I'd be willing to draft that QB at #8 overall, but not at #3 overall.
