Quick! Name the last great Chief whose career wasn't wasted by this franchise.
 

Cutting Charles has brought out the "His career was wasted by Herm, Pioli, etc., just like Hali and DJ".

Seriously, this franchise has wasted careers since 1970.

Damn straight, Milk.


How many probowlers (well deserved) did that 2-14 team have? Such a waste.


Pioli committed horrific atrocities.

Neil Smith :(

Jared Allen

Andre Rison

LOL

Steve Bono

tyson jackson? ROFL

The entire O-line from 2002-2005.

Casey Printers

Will Shields made the Hall of Fame. That's not a waste.

Jovan Belcher

In all fairness Dwayne Bowe ruined his own career

don't forget the girlfriend too.

tony gonzales. he's a 1st ballot HOF'er.

There isn't one.

Joe Horn

Nick Lowery

Lenny cool?

The only Chiefs careers who weren't ruined were the ones who left town and won shit elsewhere

Post 3 contains the correct answer.

Boomer Grigsby!

Rich Scanlon.

Sean LaChapelle

You're doing it wrong.

Every one of you dumbasses.

You know what I love about you?

I don't have any pics on. I can read your post and still see Red hollering.

Mike Mazlowski.

Bobby Sippio

Lake Dawson AND Snoop Minnis

Kawika Mitchell And Scott Fujita.

Define "wasted".

Matt Cassel

Q

Serious answer?

Rich Gannon & Neil Smith.

ROFL

Wasted?

LMAO


The only Chief careers that didn't get wasted are the guys who left.


That is very sad.

Actually, this is the right answer. His career in Kansas City elevated him far beyond his career at any other team in the league.

Dwayne Bowe.

Oh, wait. The OP asked about "great Chiefs". This wouldn't count. But the Chiefs really did elevate his career far beyond any reasonable expectations.

So the only answer is Lenny The Cool, Milk???

Bobby Bell.

Lawrence Tynes

Jerrel wilson

Alex Smith finna lead us to the playoffs

Marc Boerighter

Darnell Alford

The answer is Len ****ing Dawson, you dolts.

Lew Bush

Even though he graded out perfectly, the best he ever was in KC was just short of average.

He's not even a real ****ing football player, much less a "great Chief".

Goddamn.

Mike Cloud

Both of them did better for their careers after they left Kansas City...

So those are acceptable answers as well - they weren't so beat to shit that they could still play at a high level after they left.

Ok.

We're talking about 1970 and later, so Jerrel probably doesn't count.

But now that you mention it, Dustin Colquitt counts and he's got a great argument. He punted a lot during the Pioli years, much more so than any other team would have done. So KC has given him a great platform to exhibit his craft. He wouldn't have as many great performances with a team like New England or Pittsburgh.

But then Tampa Bay said "hey"!

Allen and Montana were hall of famers so the franchise couldn't ruin them. I think DT ruined the chiefs more than vice versa with the Monday night Meltdown, not showing up for playoff games and dying.

Keeping DT instead of Neil was a no-brainer at the time, but in hindsight, with things turning out the way they did...

I remember when Larry Johnson was spitting on people

I remember when Dick V said that LJ was a bitch and that he needed to take his diaper off.

It's bad when a crybaby calls you out publicly.

Marcus Allen. Since his career was already wasted by Davis and he already had a ring.

Been a few Chiefs who have left the franchise and gone on to be All-Pro (Rich Gannon, Joe Horn) and a handful who have won SBs (Neil Smith, Lawrence Tynes off the top of my head) since Allen retired.

This

Bernard Pollard ultimately ****ed us all hardcore.

He won a SB w/ Baltimore, and due to his hit on Brady, we ended up w/ Matt Cassel for 4 seasons.

And yet you wonder why people say you aren't very smart.

Len Elliot

Jessie Haynes

Shit Marty wasted pretty much everyone in the 90s...

Joe Delaney

Mark Cassel learned how to put his hat on when he left here.

Sly Morris

I'm sure he didn't intentionally mean to do that.

But everybody has their own perspective and if you want to look at it that way; that's your perogative.

I just think this scenario was about the Chiefs getting unlucky more than anything.

Tony Gonzalez

But, to play Devil's Advocate, technically Herm and Pioli tried to prolong Charles career. Remember guys like Thomas Jones for example? Charles really didn't take off until RAC was HC.

However, I guess Charles was wasted if the super bowl is the measuring stick.

This thread befuddles me. Do players who don't win SBs have their careers "wasted"? If so, the vast majority of players have "wasted" careers.

Seems ridiculous.

YEAH WELL YOU'RE RIDICULOUS WHILE YOU SIT UP THERE ON YOUR STUPID SUPER BOWL PERCH

Sarcasm.

Rich Gannon. Chiefs allowed him to blossom as a Raider.

ROFL

Tony Gonzalez and Jamaal Charles never won a playoff game this franchise is a complete joke.

And he was great while he was here.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Do NOT confuse Pioli with The TODD.

FYP

None of them.

They were all paid.

Hmmm, Rich Gannon didn't get a big contract until he went to Oakland. Joe Horn wasn't a top earner while here, either. For instance. I mean, they did receive a paycheck while here...but it's not like the Chiefs are going to back the truck up for you.

Unless you play safety or Guard.

Or if you're an average QB with a penchant for turnovers (Cassel) or throwing at the sidelines (Smiff).
