Brandon Flowers on Reid
 

@Edwerderespn: Brandon Flowers noted how unlike predecessor, Andy Reid willing to stop practice today to correct mistakes.

Just wow.

Romeo allowed players to show up a half hour late and there were probably no punishments handed out.

Further proof that Romeo really gave no shits.

He was just happy to be makin' that HC chedda.

RAC deserves a chance to be the HC next year.

-95% of CP posters, December 2011.

How does a psychotic maniac like Pioli care about color copies and candy wrappers in the stairways, but not care that his HC isn't fixing what's wrong at practice?

LMAO

Hyperbole, much?

I'm one of them. I'll admit it.

I can safely say I was part of the 5%. Told wife the same day he was hired, This isn't going to end good. When do interms?

I don't blame him for a second.

He's old and wanted some extra coin.

What a vacation last year must've been...Pioli and Crennel deserve each other.

Eric Berry flat refused to talk about the past...tells you all you need to know.

Kinda surprised he would say something publicly, when they were all so, RAC, RAC, RAC!

the same way Scooter cared about drafting Donald Stephenson over Russel Wilson or Jon Baldwin over Colin Kaepernick or Tony Moeaki over Jimmy Graham or Tyson Jackson over anyone or Dexter McCluster over TJ Ward, Lamar Houston, Daryl Washington, Rob Gronkowski, Carlos Dunlap, Eric Decker, Navarro Bowman, Jared Veldheer, etc

His way

Romeo should give every penny he earned last year to Kyle Orton.

Crennel is a bad coach. Period.

NOT ME!

yes they are very good at ass kissing, for sure.

When has 95% of CP ever been right about the unproven?

It's truly amazing how Pioli hung by his own noose.

He still got his dough, so in the end, it didn't matter.

Carte Blanche.

I was as well, but a major factor for me was watching him sink in Cleveland. I knew then, he would never be anything more than an assistant.

He only cares about having a yes sir man.

Glad his tenure is over.

That's ****ing insane. I don't know of any professional at the top of an organization who isn't meticulous about details, and will annoy the shit out of people to get stuff right.

That just makes my jaw drop.

its amazing how Kyle Orton in like 4 games got a lot of crappy people employed by an NFL franchise for an entire year while Orton jumped off that burning ship real fast and left it in a trail of dust.

I think he jumped a pool of turd to a pool of piss.

History is littered with men that rest on their laurels.

he got like 5 million a year last year to hold a ****ing clipboard

That's a nice pool of piss indeed.

you are probably the worst poster on this board when it comes to being a Chiefs fan

You're giving Orton too much credit. The Defense showed up big time at the end of the season, and that's why we won those games.

Is this really surprising to any of you? This organizations been run like shit the past 4 years. I wasn't in any way, a supporter of the RAC hire. But I just accepted it. I didn't think it'd be the trainwreck it was because we had some talent on this team last year. But all of this info coming out isn't surprising. Pioli is the biggest piece of shit in the world.

While he wasn't my first choice, I admit that I erred in thinking his team would be disciplined and he would attempt to rectify the QB position. The latter might have been out of his hands, however.

Oh it was apparent it was out of his hands. It was more of a doing a friend a favor and taking the job.

Yep. Doubt we will see him back in the NFL either.

While Orton didn't produce a lot of points, he did move the chains. That helped a ton.

Don't judge me, I was holding out for the 1% chance that he would become the black Bill Belicheck.

Do they make hoodies that big?

Pioli was too busy making sure there were no candy wrappers in the hallway to notice Romeo's practices.

The defense showed up because they weren't left on the field the entire game.

Hell, the defense played better with Tyler Palko at times simply because he was able to keep from going 3 and out over and over again (see the 1st half of the NE game, Pitt)

Because he doesn't know the first ****ing thing about football, and that's the truth. He's been lucky enough to suck or fall on the right dicks throughout his career.

Bowl of Dicks

It's amazing what our defense can do when it's not on the field the entire game. Look forward to this year. Not expecting greatness but at least a competent team. Orton at least could move the ball and look like an average QB, meanwhile, Matty boy looked like Ryan Leaf.

The 49ers were never higher than 25th in third-down conversion rate with Alex Smith as their QB.

So he should help our defense stay off the field.

You mean stay on the field?

unpossible

alex smith will give us the #1 defense

clearly he was responsible for the 49ers being awesome on defense

ROFL

I'm just praying we find our QBOTF in this draft or next year.

Not surprising. See my sig to see just how bad the Scooter era was. The 30 pt. losses at Arrowhead are in the past.

Yup. I thought it would take about 2-3 years for RAC to sink the ship. I had no idea he was capable of sinking it that quickly. I don't know how anybody thought he was going to be a good coach.

So we're actually operating like a team again? It's a start.

i didn't think he would be a good head coach.

I was ok with Crennel as HC. I knew shit might go really bad, but the players wanted him, and given how they played at the end of the season while he was interim coach I thought that might mean something. Apparently they got complacent with him real quick. They fought hard for him until he won the job. Kinda reminds me how my mom hired a laid back as hell babysitter for my brother and I. She let us run wild basically, but we wanted her to stay long-term so when my mom was around we cleaned the house and were on our best behavior. Once the babysitter got the job, it was party time lol.

In the end it all worked out for the best. That terrible season got us rid of Pioli and Cassel and the rest of the crapsicles on the staff.

Also, some of you ****ers that didn't want Crennel were calling for the normal unrealistic bullshit options like Gruden and Cowher. But what were the other real options for fat Scott? Ferentz? It was gonna be a ****ing disaster with that guy as GM either way. The best he could have done was field a 7-9 type of team, and thank god that shit didn't happen.

Personally I thought having Crennel as head coach was going to keep our defense at a upward directory and if we got a good OC that Grandpa stood a chance of succeeding. Well we got our answer pretty early it was going to be a disaster on multiple levels.

If I remember correctly, our defense statistically was actually worse than our offense. Crennel was a horrible head coach.

As soon as we beat Green Bay we were FURTHER doomed.

Yeah, well..... keep on praying because it won't happen in either of them.

Our QBOTF is Alex Tanney mother****ers!

It's quite possible, however, it was more of an indicator of such a pathetic offense than the defense. The defense, the majority of the time, would get the stops early only to have the O turn it over short or 4 and out, setting up the short field. After enough of that the defense usually turned into warm butter.

I had this one right, and said at the time it would probably be just like other times the players got "their coach." Frank Ganz and Gunther.

I don't even know why I was convinced. Just the fact that I hadn't seen the team play that hard all year for their coach. Just figured, 'maybe we needed him all year.' His staff hiring was a different story, but I did think the defense was going to turn a new leaf. Boy was I wrong.

Spot on. It's disgusting that we were put through watching the train wreck that was Pioli's drafts

I remember flipping out when they called McCluster's name...

CP wanted Benn,Tate, Surgery Kindle, and Mush Cody so I'm not sure what all the captain hindsight shit is about.

Golden Tate is a lot better than Dexter McCluster, though.

Golden Tate didn't do jack shit until he had Russell Wilson throwing to him. And even with that he still has 300 less yards from scrimmage in his career than McCluster.

I've been saying that for quite some time, but apparently Dex's yards don't count or some other Spinnerson worthy shit ROFL

for every bad player CP wanted, there was also a really good player consensus player

CP was probably hitting on 50 percent and failing at 50 percent

Scooter was literally failing at 90 percent of his picks, and hit on 10 percent as it stands right now. He's Matt Millen type drafting.

If you go back to the Frank Ganz year, when the team finally made the playoffs for the first time in well over a decade, mainly due to special teams play, the players all lobbied for Ganz.
Wasn't it Albert Lewis that went to ownership begging for Ganz? I am just going from memory, but I think that is correct. At the time all we really had was newspaper articles.

Then when he got the job, he was over his head and it was a total disaster, very similar to RAC. We all know the Gunther story, very similar.

Not even close man.

Scooter was purely awful, but CP isn't much better....AT ALL. We'd have a 1-2 sucktastic QB duo of Clausen-Sanchez, with a nice side combo of turds Kindle Cody, and a splash of "future ProBowlas" we would rue the day of passing on in Jamon Meredith, Duke Robinson stinking up the OL. Yeah we failed on Colin Brown, but the guys we wanted sucked just as hard.

This place was 100% behind picking Derrick Johnson , and Eric Berry. When DJ fell to 15, this place was awash with splooge that had been building up the whole off season, same with Berry. The Dorsey pick was almost the same.

Nick Lowery, IIRC

Yup, that doesn't stop the dipshits from doing there OMGz how could we pass on Rodgers, Flacco, or tradez all our picks for Ryan threads....when not one person wanted to do it at the time.

i dont care to go back and look but I remember this place being in love with guys like BJ Raji, any of the USC LBers( Clay, Cush, Rey), people loved Phil Taylor, Akeem Ayers, Brooks Reed, etc. there was a pocket of Mallet fans when he fell, there was plenty of people on Sam Acho

as for the 2010 draft, pick a player that was good, you couldnt really miss, CP didnt miss but Scooter did. All those LBers and TEs Scooter passed on, this place wanted.

im pretty sure CP on first rounders went something like

09 - Raji
10 - Berry
11 - Akeem Ayers, Phil Taylor, Dalton, anyone but Baldwin really.
12 - David DeCastro

the consensus here would have been much better off than what Scooter did.

Huh? You weren't even here in 09. It was Tru Fans vs. Baters.

Baters wanted Sanchez

Tru Fans wanted any number of players including Aaron Curry by many.


Berry was pretty consensus.

Many liked the Baldwin pick as well. VERY few if any at all wanted Dalton in the 1st, so that's ridiculous.

WTF has De Castro done other than get hurt?

Besides, people here have the bad habit of going "I'll be satisfied with this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, or this guy" Then, 4 of them bust, 1 turns out decent and they wnat to get sucked off for saying they wanted to draft the good player. Sorry, it doesn't work that way ROFL

Wrong on 3 out of 4 years.

Hilariously wrong, heh

Actually, I was one of those at the time and most drafts since, that wanted us to draft a QB. I have never followed College FB very close, but when Rodgers fell, (at the time it was either Rodgers or Smith going 1st overall) I was kind hoping the Chiefs would pick him, but was consoled by CP on DJ.

I wanted Brady Quinn when Cleveland moved up to snatch him. I wanted Clausen, Sanchez, etc. etc. , any ****ing QB in the first for a very long time.

I didn't realize it until looking at your list, but after the TJ pick, I kind of distanced myself from getting too excited about the draft. Yeah woot on the Berry pick, but oh well, not a damn thing I can do about it.

The DeCastro pick ia the funniest. I cant think of even one person that wanted him.

There were plenty of people around town who wanted to retain Crennel and Orton. Not so many as wanted to retain Herm and Thigpen, but mostly the same people I am sure. The 810 crowd

I wanted to keep Orton, he could actually play the game at an average level unlike anyone else on the roster.

When you live your entire life wearing "hand me down clothes," and your big brother has a pair of not too badly worn sneakers, they look pretty good.
