Hindsight is a funny thing. Back in '09 people were calling for his head.

"Always looking for the big hit, never wraps up"

"terrible in coverage"

I think it was because he was willing to speak his mind, but your point stands.

He didn't like getting yelled/cursed at.

He didn't suck that bad. I loved him in KC wanted to watch him get better over the years like he did. Super Bowl bound.

He was young that needed to grow up. He said the best thing for him was getting cut by the Chiefs to help him grow up in the game and take it more sereious. He may not have worked out for the Chiefs even if he stayed, good coaching can go a long ways.

Its not like the chiefs were the only team who dumped him. Dude takes some bad angles and sucks in coverage. If pioli kept him we likely dont draft Berry.

This all 100% true and factual.

He did the same shit in Houston.

Shocking that when an ordinary player, at best, plays along side 2 HOFers, he becomes better.

Then you like garbage, because that is what he was in KC and Houston.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he now plays on a D with much better talent and coaching.

hell, that forced fumble probably sealed the deal for the Ravens trip to the Superbowl. Dude ****s up the Patriots lol.

I don't like garbage, but I like to see guys work hard and grow up in this league and better themselves. That is exactly what Bernard Pollard did.

Some players take longer than others to develop it all depends on how patient you want to be with them. I still thought he had potential to be good. He gets to go to the Super Bowl so I don't think he gives a **** what us Chiefs fans think of him then.

Pollard was never cut out to be a Tampa 2 safety. We talk all the time about wanting an attacking defense, well, using him as a downhill safety who patrols the short middle of the field is exactly what he does best.

The man reaves souls.

Yeah after all Tony Gonzalez "only" owns the Chiefs career receptions, receiving yards, receiving TD's, yards from scrimage and consecutive games with a reception records... all that is nothing compared to Pollard's two season in KC.

When he played here, he missed a lot of tackles looking for kill shots. He also had a lot of unsportsmanlike penalties, which he still has problems with in Baltimore. Having Ed Reed alongside has helped him. He may have been a great combo here once we got Eric Berry. He has matured, learned and improved as a player. Sometime a change of scenery is all a guy needs. That seemed to help Priest Holmes when he came to KC. Pollard is definitely Pats Kryptonite.

That was a monster hit last night. Loved it!

GoChargers 01-21-2013 02:44 PM

Pollard is quickly rising on my list of favorites with each bout of tears he delivers to the Patsies and their fans.
