ROFL LOLZ

Wut?

They must like that big arm...

That would make him incredibly easy to trade I would think... If anyone would even be interested

"Stashing him this year does not speak volume of what this coaching regime thinks of him"

/Dumbass Dane

I have just as good of a shot of playing a meaningful game of football for the chiefs as this asshat does....

LOL at this signing...

Wait.... what?

People on this forum need to open their eyes.

Why would this regime get rid of their most talented and youngest QB?

At least this franchise is paying attention...

He's no Brody Croyle that's for sure...

Tyler Bray is a lucky man.

Getting paid at least 500k a year to sit on his ass and not do anything or even suit up. Then he ****s up majorly and tears his acl and still gets rewarded with 2 more years of at least 500k to sit and do nothing.

Playing pickup basketball is ****ing up majorly....?


Yeah okay.

BRAYDAY is back bitches

Must be a tax write off or something.... Lucky for Chiefs fans, this china doll will never amount to anything other than giving a few obsessed fans "hope"...

The guys has proven he is nothing but message board fodder and nothing more.

They obviously like him. He's been hurt for a bit so we really can't say what he is or isn't at this point. Whether it works out or not I like the fact they are trying to develop some guys for down the road.

Blows out his ACL. Labeled "China Doll."

Okay.

Welp, this will be Daniels last year in KC. To be honest them putting Bray on IR didnt speak a thing about how they felt about him. I dont even think his salary is high enough to count against the salary cap... This move here does, anyone is now free to say "This speaks volumes" without hearing any smart ass remarks from me.

Time for these guys to start working on Jaye Howards contract now instead of letting him tear shit up at NT and DE for us this season.

Makes no difference to me, I never have to watch him suit up and play for the Chiefs.

Denial. That's only stage 2....you have a ways to go.

You probably also thought he was going to get cut this year....right?

I'm the only left on the one Bray wagon as I have watched everyone else jump off it this offseason and I'm not letting any of you posers back on when he pans out.

:thumb: Run over those haters sir. :thumb:

No, to be honest and like most Chiefs fans, we never knew the guy existed until we get alerted on our phones that he signed a contract...

If it wasn't for you constantly blowing this guy, 99.9% of this board would never know the guy exists either. He is that relevant to the future of this franchise.

Huh... What exactly am I in denial about?

ROFLROFLROFL Yeah...okay.

Wanna shoot me a link proving otherwise?

You have already wasted my time...move on to your Alex thread, hater.

Whoa I've got to get in on that action. Can you or anyone else PM me and explain how to get chiefs alerts on my phone? I would be very grateful. And I will give reps if you're into that sort of thing.

LMAO Its okay, we understand.

I have the ESPN app on my phone and have set it up to Alert me anything Chiefs, Royals and Jayhawks... So I get all the game updates and scores, along with any news related to any of the 3...

This is most confusing. It must be that arm. That arm is dangerous and they are afraid of letting it fall into the wrong hands.

Interesting indeed.. Yeah, that (and Murray) likely does spell the end of Daniel after this year.

Better to use this contract on a young, potentially good QB than to burn another late pick on the exact same thing.

People really thought DanielS was going to get an extension...? :facepalm:

Agree, it would be smart to start targeting a 1st or 2nd round QB to compete with Murray in the next few years....

I see it the same way. He's young still. QB's just don't grow on trees anymore and while possible Daniels stays, I don't think you can commit to that yet. I like the move. You never know in this league. We are not likely to draft high for awhile. This could be one way of moving up. It's worth the investment and the advantage of the time already invested in him. It's a smart organizational move at this time.

Is that really anymore silly than thinking that holding onto something that literally costs nothing, "speaks volumes" to how an owner feels about that something?

.

Unless they plan on trading Chase Daniel, which I doubt considering you need insurance if the OL can't block for Alex Smith and he happens to get injured, you don't want your season to immediately tank, esp as well Chase is playing right now. I can't see why or how Tyler Bray even fits into the Chiefs plans unless they think he's going to end up being better than Aaron Murray but even then? 2yr/$2M dollars for someone who's literally trapped at the bottom of the depth chart with virtually no light at the end of the tunnel? Figured they'd want to spend some cap dollars on OL, NT or WR if anything. I guess they plan on rolling over some cap dollars to next season.

wow

This is either really smart or really,really,really,really stupid.

When Murray has looked improved and Daniel has looked flat good at times it does make me wonder why they would go through the trouble to hide him this long and extend him if he's as bad as cps brain trust believes.

Non football injury. Doesn't count against the cap right now.

And the majority of Dorsey's moves so far have been...?

Ding Ding Ding Mother****ing Ding.

Answer: CP brain-trust is brain-dead....

LMAO Nailed it!

He's had his share or both good and bad moves.


I'm starting to feel more positive about it though. :)

Really? You just got signed to a 2 year deal with the Chiefs?

I said the other day that he's still here is intriguing. They must really like him and he's progressing

Yes, did you not get the ESPN alert?

This is Daniels last season as a Chief and you answered your own question.

So they extend our 4th string qb and you feel he may not be relevant to the future of this franchise? Looks like you're in the sauce early today!!
Not saying he will or he won't, but they obviously like something he's doing. Sounds like you should stick to drinking too much too early and dealing with your #smallpenisproblems

Yay! Alex Smith is leaving!

Why would they even bother unless they think there is something worth having enough to protect?

This is not CP thinking Bray has something, this is the Chiefs' front office bothering to protect a player that is 4th on the depth chart. WTF?!?!?

I don't know why people are unable to see this as well...

"It's just a couple million of dollars....means nothing..." really...for a QB that is 4th of the depth chart, means nothing? Really....really...?

I don't think i can recall the Chiefs ever bothering to deal with a player 4th on the depth chart early like this before.

Maybe Dorsey was just bored. :shrug:


weird

Why extend a udfa tho. If he hasn't shown something? There's 50 udfa college qbs or more every year wanting a shot there's been like 150 since we signed him the first time he's worth keeping over every one of them? As a third stringer?

He's 23 years old. It's not likely they'll find a prospect in the draft with his size and arm strength without drafting a QB in the first round (which would cost 5 times as much) so for less than a million dollars per year, they can continue to develop him.

With no guaranteed money, they can cut him in 2016 or 2017 without a cap hit of any kind, which means he could go back on the practice squad if he was to clear waivers. If he's an idiot again in the 2016 offseason, they can wave goodbye with no consequences.

In many ways, it's a no brainer.

Because they [the coaching staff] see something in him...

Why is this so ****ing hard for people for comprehend?

Holy shit.

Who typed this for you....?

Udfa
4th on depth chart
on I.R.

why bother?

should they even bother?

How do you know he hasn't shown something?

And how many UDFA QBs do you know who have his arm talent?

The Chiefs played this perfectly. Murray continues to backup after Chase is gone, while Bray gets an extension on his development time. Meanwhile, they've got a perfectly fine 3rd stringer.

I am so proud of you guys.

But that means that the chiefs think Bray is a perfect 3rd stringer


means they think that Bray can develop


I was beginning to think he was done.

Do you have a website for the sweatshop in Myanmar? I may need to order myself a Bray jersey.

Here you go...

You may get a couple of little bloody fingerprints, but just order the home jerseys to cover it up...Cheap.

I know that Bray is your Boo but I've stated several times that having him on the roster costs the Chiefs practically nothing and that it's a worthwhile investment.

Thanks! Do you like it?

For $22...yes.

edit: I got mine a couple years ago...I am not sure if shipping has gone up. :-)

Comment from Arrowhead Pride:

Intriguing is the right word and it opens the door to endless speculation.

Daniels has proven himself as the number two. Murray is developing nicely as number three. What the resigning of Bray tells me is the Chiefs brass see special talent that is worth the time and money to continue to develop.

No doubt Bray has a special arm and is the prototypical size. Can he operate and NFL offense? Can he function and move around comfortably in an NFL pocket? Can he function under pressure by and NFL pass rush? I hope we get to see for ourselves someday.

And there you have it.

I was thinking about this last week:

Last preseason, both Daniel and Murray looked like ass. But with the emergence of West/Hammond/Williams, they look significantly better this year.

So when i think of Bray, i have to remember that he was mostly playing with 3rd teamers. How much of his **** ups were also related to his supporting cast? How would he look now, throwing to Hammond and Williams with West being a dynamic playmaker?

What if they're in the process of trading Chase Daniel? Maybe that news is coming.

Doubt that. Bray is on IR.

Or not.

NFI list. Same thing Berry was on last year....so not IR.

The guy could miss this season and the 2 after that and still only be 26 when the next season rolled around.

If he does nothing over the next 2 years but smoke weed and fall down stairs, this is still a smart move. The money isn't guaranteed so they can cut him whenever. The cap hit is negligible even when he gets off the NFI list. There's no downside to it at all. He's probably an idiot but hey, he'll be an idiot with 5 years in the system under his belt at the end of this deal. Maybe he won't be quite so braindead at that point.

Ah. Does that mean they can bring him whenever they want?

After 6 weeks they reevaluate him to see whether they want to activate him and add him to the 53-man roster, release him, or put him on IR.
