THE LATEST CHIEFS NEWS FROM KFFL.....!!!!!!!
 

K

I'm surprised we want McClain back. His blocking sucked.

I'd like to see what he could do as RB2.

I don't really care to see McClain back. If he does come back, that's fine. But in all honesty Mike Cox was a better blocker.

What I'm reading implies that our QBs in training camp will be Luck, Griffin, Tannehill, Manning, Henne, Orton, Garrard, and Cassel. I think that could make for some good competition.

I'm just saying, if we resigned McClain and Battle, then added Tolbert, that would give us a pretty terrific backfield. We wouldn't need to add Richardson at that point. In short yardage situations, we could have Tolbert and McClain in the backfield. Between the twenties we could have Charles and Tolbert operating out of the same backfield and Battle would provide adequate depth.

So on February 20th the news is that the Chiefs are "expecting Stanford Routt" to start, and on the 22nd the news is that they "would like Brandon Carr to return"?

I think Routt is a fine corner, but Carr would clearly be the starter over Routt. Where does this "news" come from? Is it just rumor?

Chiefs | Could have interest in sucking shit again this year

"could"

haha

well i'd rather it say they have interest in signing McClain than someone like Sabby Piscitelli

so it could be worse!

:thumb:

They're throwing everything out there as a smokescreen so we don't know what they really plan to do.

You forgot RG3 and a young Joe Montana.

You could sign McClain, Tolbert, and Battle or draft Richardson and have him cost about half of what those three would cost. or less.

We have more money than 1st round draft picks.

It's a legitimate point that we'd essentially be getting 10 times better of a RB at less of a price.

"He was throwing right as the season ended," general manager Scott Pioli said Friday, Feb. 24. "I don't know if he's 100 percent because I haven't seen him, but he's throwing well."
\
encouraging
'cause I have never seen him throw well before

Psyko Tek, I copied the same thing:

"I don't know if he's 100 percent because I haven't seen him, but he's throwing well."
ROFL

I'd rather trade up for a QB than a RB.

Uh oh!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN????

@BCarr39 sounds like a deal man! I'll watch you tear it up all the way to the pro bowl every year! #carrstop

McClain is a locker-room leader and we need to re-sign.
Posted via Mobile Device

McClain is an idiot. Puts himself in the middle of any argument, spouts way too much stupid shit, and his blocking is shit.

We can do much better IMO.

Heh. It was worth a try.

I'm sure Carr's on the phone right now with Pioli. The conversation is probably going something like, "Hey Scott, this is Brandon Carr. I know you have already replaced me after years of dedicated service, and I just want to say i hope you replace Matt Cassel as well. It is my opinion that you replace him with RG3. RG3 will lead you to many Superbowls which is exactly what i want since i will be playing for a different team. Tell all my good friends goodbye for me. Not Matt though."

True.

But you could use that one pick, save money and get a better player than those three likely combined.

With that saved money go get a qb or NT.

Scott shouldn't have a problem moving up now.

LMAO So Jackie Battle decided on the 22nd to test the FA waters and 4 days later it looks like we will resign him. I guess his value is less than he thought.

I'm surprised there's so much discussion of McClain.

Could have sworn everyone was saying that Orton had no interest in playing for us.
Never saw an actual quote from him saying as much but...

Chiefs open to trading up or down in the first round

The Chiefs got a big victory during the Combine, grabbing the 11th pick in the draft after winning a coin toss against the Seahawks, who will choose 12th. It may not seem like much of a difference, but GM Scott Pioli felt the win helps the Chiefs whether they want to keep the pick or trade it. "Not only is it a better opportunity for you to get what you want, but if there is an opportunity to make a trade, you are one spot higher, and the value of that pick is going to be that much greater," the GM said.

Oh c'mon....I've seen him throw well.

Remember that one throw in that one game??? Not sure which one but I remember it.

Pioli keeping his blinds closed too?

Chris Rainey for Chiefs 2012!

I don't see why the Chiefs would want him back. His YPG continually got lower & lower as he carried the rock this year.

I just don't see what he brings to the table that pretty much any other back couldn't.

they'll get him cheap. He's a great special teams guy. It'd be good to sign him for cheap, hell, he probably did them a favor by looking around and realizing that there is no interest in him. especially as a RB.

I was actually thinking about that this weekend.

With the Chiefs now selecting ahead of Seattle, it significantly increases our trade value to move back.

If a guy like Tannehill is available when we pick, a team may want to jump Seattle to draft him. Same goes for Richardson, who could also go to Seattle.

Its a nice bit of leverage picking immediately before a team that needs. QB and a RB. Especially considering we need both as well.

Updated....

Chiefs hope to win games next year.

The Kansas City Chiefs hope to win games rather than lose them in 2012. Each week they'd like to score more points than the other team.

Thanks. I missed that one. I'll update the list. :thumb:

Just for what it's worth, Seattle is franchising Marshawn Lynch.

Good to see the Chiefs showing interest in Tolbert. He would be an excellent compliment to Charles.

Also glad to see they're doing the sensible thing and going for Soliai.

KFFL has it on an assumption basis

That's the one head scratcher I have about all this. Romeo said that one of the things he'll do better this time is to avoid a qb controversy. Then everything he says is basically "**** Matt" except for the occasional "he's the guy under contract, so he's our starter" which translates to me as "dammit I can't believe cassel is better than stanzi"

I say ****it let Stanzi start. Go big or go home.

That would be stupid.

Updated with the latest news from KFFL....

Before everyone gets a raging hard-on regarding the #2 pick talk....

Here's the direct quote from the article that was the source:

HOLY ****ING SHIT, BATMAN!!!!

Chiefs | Have talked about No. 2 pick in NFL Draft
Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:05:59 -0800
The Kansas City Chiefs have held preliminary talks with the St. Louis Rams regarding the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft. The Chiefs have expressed interest in Baylor QB Robert Griffin III. Head coach Romeo Crennel gushed about Griffin during the NFL Scouting Combine, saying he is the kind of player "you go up to get."

I'm sooooo hard.

.

It says in the first line that we have held preliminary talks with them about the pick.

I would love for them to be able to put a package together to move up, but them simply taking it far enough to talk about that big a move is basically waving goodbye to Matt Cassel just a little more and that, to me, is exciting.


Also, a mod should update the title before we get a barrage of reposts of this.

And about Paul Soliai:

Miami’s Paul Soliai is headed to free agency and I think both the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Diego Chargers will be interested in him.

Dude, read the source article I linked, and read her wording... I highlighted it.

it also said that the Chiefs have had talks with the Rams. If i see trade and the Chiefs pop up at 2. I will seriously ****ing weep like a kid!

If this happens, I will continuously masturbate to a picture of Pioli's wife until I pass out.

Where does it say the Chiefs have had talks with the Rams, outside of the KFFL post?

The reason I posted the article that the KFFL link has listed as its source....

was because no where in it does it say the Rams and Chiefs have talked.

Its the reporter speculating, and then KFFL picked it up and made the headline sexy.

This "nightcrew" is "braindead"

This.

The Chiefs are the most conservative team in the draft ever. There's no way they throw a bunch of picks out for one player.

I'm not trying to hear that.

Stop being the guy at the party thats all like "they probably got pulled over on the way over with the keg"

For the first time in my football lifetime, the Chiefs are apparently looking at GOOD quarterbacks that there is a POSSIBILITY of getting.

Let me and my boner have a couple minutes before you start flashing naked pictures of my grandmother in front of me to remind me of reality.

i believe in .. nuttin they say .....

haha fair enough... just didnt want CP to get collective blue balls.

You never know in this league.

The Rams could possibly cut some dead weight and take a combination of Dorsey/Bowe and our #11 pick in trade because that gives them two proven players AND a premium pick.

Truth is, they have the pick for sale and they may see a compensation package like that as better value than a bunch of picks.

Just the thought of our team with somebody except Cassel at quarterback is enough to get me excited.

There is no ****ing way the Chiefs will trade up to get the #2 pick from the Rams. It would be awesome if they did, but I don't believe for a second that they'll do it. Pioli is gonna ride Matt ****ing Cassel until he gets fired.

Romeo has came right out and

A. Said he wants Orton to return

B. Said the team would be crazy not to consider Peyton Manning

C. Said RG3 is the type if quarterback "you go up and get"

D. All of the above.

...

You can't tell me with a straight face that the guy likes Cassel and is backing him.

And...i would be happy with A, B, or C over Cassel.

My point is that Romeo would, too.

He is so adamant about it that everywhere he goes he talks about possible quarterback acquisitions.

There is smoke surrounding half the forest and some here still think there isn't a fire.

http://files.sharenator.com/smokey_t...-70852-580.jpg

burn it all if it lays waste to Cassel.

I agree with the cassel statement, and I don't think he'll be the starter the next season. However, I'm just not buying into it. I just don't see us pulling the trigger.

Personally, I don't see how he could. He's left his defensive units high and dry the last 2 years.

Boss man I want to soooooooooooo believe D. All the above, as you said BUT their is a huge "tell" here why he stays with Cassel.

Answer- Haley's firing. Haley was never a Cassel fan from the get go and by the end of 2010 Haley was emotionally and mentally done with Cassel and Pioli knew it. Thus you have the 2011 strained relationship between Haley and Pioli. And when Cassel got hurt Palko was Haley's middle finger to Pioli as someone suggested here on the board which I thoroughly agree with.

IMHO Pioli is just playing poker here.

Already a done deal:thumb:

FA cannot begin soon enough.

Not really. Cox liked to hit people, but it seemed like he just totally missed more often than not. He was a whiffer.

I just don't really think McClain likes to hit people.

Great post.

Now the fun begins....I would shit my pants if ANY of the 3 happened. (if A meant no more Castle)

This is also big tell, Crennel doesn't want to sacrifice is HC job and back Cassel if/when he fails.

:thumb: Pretty much. Romeo is a Patriot Way Yes Man and doesn't get that job if he is not. No brainer slam dunk for Pioli:thumb:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he answering questions when he so adamantly brings up possible quarterback acquisitions?

A. Do you see Orton back in Kansas City for another year?
B. Would you consider bringing in Peyton Manning if he becomes available?
C. What did you think of Robert Griffin III?

It's not like Romeo is the one bringing up the QB situation. Yes, his answers have been positive, but I'm not going to get too excited until I see a QB change happen.

The point is, he could go all coach speak when asked these questions, and basically not answer them at all, like most coaches do. The fact that he's openly talking like this about other QB prospects is...new...to say the least from a Chiefs coach. Maybe that's why it's so exciting, but it does sound to me like Romeo at least wants another QB on the roster.
