The funny part about this thread is that GoChiefs put on his "Jason Whitlock" mask and just took the opposite of whatever the popular opinion was. Then, he successfully got some of the people here all riled up. Might as well just call him BigSexy Jr.

IMO, it has a lot to do with it.

Carl drafted a very good player. That's good on paper, but the fit of the player with the team wasn't that great.

He wasn't well rounded enough in the beginning and Priest ended up being healthy and did a great job for a few more years. Then after one complete solid season (with a one and out playoff loss) there is a contract dispute and the team is entertaining offers for the player. Good draft pick in terms of talent, but in terms of the positive effect the player has had for the franchise it isn't nearly as good.

The White, nerdy version of Big Sexy is a better name...

Do any New York area teams have picks to trade that would be a fair deal for KC?
LJ just may ammend his demands to a more reasonable level to play/live in the big house???

So... When are you leaving?

LJ is not worth that money, there are a ton of good rb's out there to be had, and only 15 or so top notch qbs if that, that is why they are paid the big bucks. Pay larry but not even close to what he wants, let another team be the dumbass.

and people in Hell want Ice water.

This franchise went to shit before, and it probably will again. It is going to take more than running lj into the ground to bail us out.

I was one of the posters melting down. Our defense was horrible. We needed defense. They picked a back up running back. In 2003 how could anyone see on paper that was that right decision at the time?
Did the Sims/Savii/Freeman decisions also work out? What's the % that a top 2 rounder pick worked out for the Chiefs in the King Carl era?
Maybe if we would have had some defense in 2003 we could have made a Super Bowl run?

It's a shame the Redskins don't have picks to trade...

it was LJ or Brayton - who DV wanted....it was a great pick, the perfect example of BAA in action...whether or not we resign him has nothing to do with an evaluation of the pick...

$80 million?

I understand that LJ's highballing and everything, but that's leadership numbers. You pay leaders that much, and for all his value on the football field, LJ's not a leader in the locker room. He simply isn't.

You can probably cut that in half and make that more realistic. 4 years, $40 million, with $20something guaranteed? I still believe he'll have value for us for another three to four years at least.

The only way LJ is worth that much money is if he's also willing to cut his tongue out. Keep that sumbitch quiet in the lockerroom.

I'll bet Priest Holmes just sat up in his chair at news of a possible LJ trade. Could he be our starting RB this season???

Priest is munching on Nachos...
