****Official Apology Thread*****
 
It's time for everyone to own up.

Did you give Whitlock shit for making up the Egoli stuff? It's mea culpa time.

Did you defend the Cassel trade and contract? Own up.

Did you excuse the Tyson Jackson pick? It's time to pay the piper.

Did you claim McCluster was Wes Welker/Devin Hester? Accept your lashings.

Did you excuse 2009 as an evaluation year? Confess your sins

Did you absolve Pioli of his coaching hires? Prostrate yourself.

Did you make the argument that Pioli was beyond reproach because he's the GM, former executive of the decade? It's time to eat shit.

Let he who is without sin throweth the first rock. And I shalt smoketh it.

------------------------------------------------------------

This space is reserved for my apology in thinking Vernon Gholston was an elite NFL pass rusher and Jimmy Clausen could be a franchise QB. Near Pioli levels of fail.

O.city 12-12-2011 03:58 PM

In on the Tyson Jackson. Although he's playing better than I ever thought he would, I'm still in on the lashings.




If Pioli would draft a qb early I'd absolve some of this. If not, he is most def. Carl 2.0.

And I wanted to craft Wendell Bryant instead of Ryan Sims.

Donger 12-12-2011 04:00 PM

No, I didn't.

But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

I defer to football professionals and don't take even the most knowledgeable fan's opinions seriously. Certainly not my own. None of us have the benefit of a professional staff and mountains of professional analysis that even the worst GM's have.

It's a comically absurd if you take your football opinion seriously when compared to a professional NFL front office. If you have ever taken your football opinion seriously or expect that others need to, then you owe us all an apology.

Oh, and this message board and KC's media are far better now that Whitlock's professional trolling is gone.

Did you defend the Cassel trade and contract? Own up. No, it was a wtf are you doing experience for me. We had the picks to get a first round QB. I had paid no attention to Cassel in NE, but after a couple games I hated him. It was obvious he sucked and did not have the tools.

Did you excuse the Tyson Jackson pick? It's time to pay the piper. Another wtf are you doing experience, but I was still on my Executive of the decade honey moon. The highest pick this team has had in my 41 years of fandom and it is a non rushing type DE.

Did you claim McCluster was Wes Welker/Devin Hester? Accept your lashings. I was pretty unhappy, because we passed on some players that even I thought would help this team better than a gadget midget. I get pissed every time I see them hand him the ball.

Did you excuse 2009 as an evaluation year? Confess your sins I tried to rationalize it, no doubt. More of the honey moon, wanting to believe in the new regime.

Did you absolve Pioli of his coaching hires? Prostrate yourself. I actually liked them, still do, loved the fresh approach. I still like Romeo, and think experience is very valuable for a DC. I Wish we would have kept Weis. It was obvious that nobody wanted the OC job so Muir was the only guy that would take it under the circumstances.

Did you make the argument that Pioli was beyond reproach because he's the GM, former executive of the decade? It's time to eat shit. Yep, after King Carl, I ate it up. I wanted to believe in him, he was our first choice here. The naysayers started pretty quick, and it was shocking for someone engulfed in the koolaid.

Let he who is without sin throweth the first rock. And I shalt smoketh it.

Pretty much all this.

I backed DMC until game 1 this year, what a turd.

I still think Whitlock is reerun, even a blind squirrel finds a nit every now and then.

Bewbies 12-12-2011 04:14 PM

I liked McCluster pick. It's pretty clear this year that I was wrong. He's good at spinning, but I don't think that's worth a 2nd round pick. :)

KC_Connection 12-12-2011 04:15 PM

Can this extend to baseball? There's a certain Bautista doubting thread that Hamas still hasn't apologized for. :)


Did you give Whitlock shit for making up the Egoli stuff? No, not at all.

Did you defend the Cassel trade and contract? I wanted to believe that Cassel was good. Really. Not sure I ever fully did, though.

Did you excuse the Tyson Jackson pick? Yes, regrettably.

Did you claim McCluster was Wes Welker/Devin Hester? No, haha. Not even close...hated that pick.

Did you excuse 2009 as an evaluation year? Yes. What a waste.

Did you absolve Pioli of his coaching hires? No, didn't like them from the beginning.

Did you make the argument that Pioli was beyond reproach because he's the GM, former executive of the decade? No, but like any GM he deserved some time to show what he could do. Hasn't been much.

'Hamas' Jenkins 12-12-2011 04:16 PM

That's because I still think Bautista is dirty.

He is a racist piece of shit. Adds very little value in anything related to sports or the Chiefs.. When qouted as gospel, credibility takes a hit.
Did you defend the Cassel trade and contract? Own up. Threw a huge freaking fit, wanted Sanchez.
Did you excuse the Tyson Jackson pick? It's time to pay the piper.
Didnt know what to think, wanted BPA or impact player.
Did you claim McCluster was Wes Welker/Devin Hester? Accept your lashings. Stoked about Dexter, loved the pick. Now must face the music.
Did you excuse 2009 as an evaluation year? Confess your sins Anytime you take over for Herm you get a free pass for one year.
Did you absolve Pioli of his coaching hires? Prostrate yourself. Sick of this coaching staff.. And if I remember correctly it was a decent hire at first.
Did you make the argument that Pioli was beyond reproach because he's the GM, former executive of the decade? It's time to eat shit. I dont think this highly of my opinion on a message board to be this big of a prick.

I would bet real high they won't be drafting a QB first round this year, real high.
I would be pleasantly surprised if they do though, but I would also be pleasantly surprised if I win the lottery, and I don't buy tickets.

I don't ever remember denying that Pioli exercised a super-sized ego.

I don't view that as THE REASON the Haley hire was poor. Nor do I view it as a necessarily bad trait.

Yes I did. I actually defended the 2009 draft for the most part.

Tyson Jackson has been a pretty good LDE for us, but he will never justify the #3 pick. I don't think I believed it at the time, either, but my hope in Pioli was a lot larger than it is now.

For the record, and I hope OTW and others can remember, BJ Raji was the pick I wanted there.

I expected more Sproles than anybody else. I didn't like the pick, period.

I will say, however, that I overestimated his speed from the time I saw him at Ole Miss was his speed. He's clearly very quick, but he lacks speed. And he is only effective when the rest of the offense is clicking.

I did, but because of the circumstances. 2009 was clearly a tutorial on how not to transition a franchise.

His coaching hires haven't been that bad. Weis and Crennel worked out, it's not necessarily Pioli's fault Haley drove Weis off.

The Haley hire was clearly the questionable one of the bunch. I throw that in with Pioli's utter lack of preparation during that 2009 offseason.

I believe no one is beyond reproach.

But Pioli's job has been to assemble talent for this team, including coaching, and maximize the talent once we've acquired it.

Our QB position is still a mess.
Our RB position has improved since he's been here, but not thanks to him.
Our WR corps has definitely improved.
Our OL corps has definitely improved, though it's still a weakness.
Our DL corps has definitely improved, though it's still a weakness.
Our LB corps has definitely improved.
Our secondary has definitely improved.

His last two drafts have been very strong. And his free angencies have been very underwhelming, but have followed his philosophy, which at this point dictates that be the case. He's landed us some contributors through free agency anyway, just no game-changers. Again, that's a philosophical disagreement more than it is a criticism of execution.

mlyonsd 12-12-2011 04:33 PM

**** Whitlock. He can die in an aids fire.

kcxiv 12-12-2011 04:34 PM

Only thing i ever said was that they were going to use McCluster in a Wes Welker type role. T hey did try, and it didnt work.

The only thing i despise them for is qb Matt Cassel. The rest wouldnt look to bad if we had a qb worth a ****.

I understand the fault in standing behind most of these draft/personnel decisions.

But...

I still don't see why McCluster is considered a bust, when his second year isn't even over.

Absolutely, I did. I don't blame Pioli one bit for the impression he gave Whitlock. He was educated on JWhit's stance in advance and didn't give him the time of day. Who cares what Whitlock thinks?

No. I couldn't understand why we took him there anyway. I didn't want him even if we gave a 2nd rounder for him.

Nope. Couldn't understand the pick, still don't. Was hoping for the best. Would be okay with it if he were a 4th round selection or later.

Why not? His hires have made sense each time. They just didn't work out for various reasons. Sometimes you're going to have personality issues. Sometimes a coach peaks at the coordinator spot. Not every hire is going to be Bill Parcells. Even Bill Parcells wasn't a good hire at some of his stops.

Did you make the argument that Pioli was beyond reproach because he's the GM, former executive of the decade? It's time to eat shit.
The fat lady still hasn't sung on Pioli. Even if he hires McDaniels (which I do not advocate) and we go 1-15 in year one, the team may become competitive in following years. The NFL is a fickle business. NFL "experts" look foolish all the time. Elvis Grbac was within a stone's throw of taking the Chiefs deep into the playoffs. There are no absolutes or guarantees in the NFL. That's why it is the best sport by a wide margin.

Did you defend the Cassel trade and contract? Own up.
Did anyone really seriously defend the contract? I know I wasn't in love with the trade but thought it was defensible prior to the contract. I'm still not sure how the contract hasn't sunk Pioli.

I liked McCluster, and I wanted to draft Clausen or Sanchez.


Other than that, I am in the clear.

Hamas happens to be right because he happens to despise everything about the Patriots and the Patriots' way. **** him.

The Patriots Way is Tom Brady. Everything else associated with the concept is hubris.
