Lets breakdown the stupidity of letting Schwartz go.

First of all the offense made drastic improvements once Schwartz was inserted at guard. Its no coincidence that the teams highest scoring outputs were the games Fisher didnt play.

So now they are going to let their 2 best linemen go with a qb who's had injuries in the past and will presumably draft their replacements. Lets keep in mind this is the same failed strategy that got Andy fired and its not like Green Bay picked any o-linemen worth a shit in the first round either.

Schwartz has always been a productive player everywhere he's been. Not resigning him with 12 mil in capspace is ****ing stupid.

He's over dramatic because we haven't even begun to resign our players yet. Look at last year.. We signed two key players and franchised Albert at the deadline. Between this and the constant worrying about cap space, it's a little ridiculous. Just let it all play out

Yeah, Heaven forbid we have some football discussion on a football message board...

EVERYBODY SHUT UP.

Just let things play out. We're gonna shut down Chiefsplanet until after the draft.

They were able to sign Bowe at the deadline which allowed them to tag Albert but hindsight that Bowe contract was awful and they would have gotten a much needed comp pick in this draft.

Its a different situation this year. People have the right to be upset until a deal gets worked out and if it doesn't we all should be pissed and question what the regime is doing.

I don't understand why people always go OMG COMP PICK when a team wants to let a productive player walk.

That's why I wish we would have ignored the value chart and pushed for a trade down.

Lets say we let ourselves get low balled. For the sake of argument let's say we swapped the no 1 for the no 24 and all we got in return was a no 2 last year and no 2 this year.

I would have taken that in a heartbeat. That would offset the Smith trade and give us a no 2 this year in a deep draft...

To be honest, I would be completely fine with giving up our 1st pick next year for a low 2nd this year. I fully expect us to make the play-offs again.

A 2nd this year will be better than having a late 1st next year, that's how deep this draft is.

I don't think we'll pick after 16 next year...

Think about that and also consider the fact that there was a record number of underclassmen who came out this year, meaning that the senior class next year has been sapped of a lot of talent.
