Rate the Chiefs players
 

In a shocking move, Carl Peterson gets in an argument with Herm Edwards and the deal is off. As a means of providing new revenue to Lamar, Carl sells raffle tickets, and the winner of the raffle will be the new Chiefs head coach. Imagine your surprise when you get a call from Carl informing you that you're now running the show.

Carl's first assignment to you is for your to rank the current roster in terms of your priority in keeping them. You do not need to think about salary, but rather the players' ability, age, injury history and status, importance of position played, etc. He wants you to rank them, starting with the player you most want to keep as a Chief #1, all the down to the player you're least concerned about keeping.

Assume that you have a typical head coaching contract. You aren't guaranteed a job, but there's a good chance that you'll get at least two or three years, and more if you're winning.

Here would be my list.

why are priest holmes and kendal gammon so high

they are both injury prone and not needed

How can we not need the best long snapper in NFL history? :spock:

I would Not Call Kendal Injury Prone.
He Is VERY durable and caught a bad break this year..


God i wish we had him in the Dallas Game

Those two guys were really hard to rate. Holmes, because he combines ultra-high productivity with injuries and (now) lining up behind the #1 guy on the list. However, the bottom line is that he's still productive. I'd want him on my team, and he's freakin' good.

Gammon is tough, because he's ancient. He's certainly not injury prone, but my presumption at this point is that he could come back and provide another couple of years of high productivity at a position that is important but low priority. In retrospect, perhaps I'd rank him lower.

isn't he about 50? thats why let jerrod allen snap

Holmes was perhaps the single-hardest person to rank on this list. There's so much going on there, both with the position and his injury, that I'm not sure where he fits.

I dont' wanna rank everyone, but I like the top five

What do you think about Green? In reality, he probably only has a couple of good years left, whereas guys like Derrick Johnson and Jared Allen have 10. But, geez, as the new head coach I'd hate to give away my QB when he's the only guy at that position (sorry, Todd) and he's really good.

ive never even heard of 6 of the last 10 on your list, must be mostly practice squad.

I forgot about Allen, but, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Nice work. I question Dante's spot. I might switch him and Sapp. Dante's return career is over, not bad as a receiver. I see Craphonso returning kicks next season.

I excluded practice squad players. I think some of these guys were signed recently, so they don't have to go on the practice squad. I just kind of ranked them by position need since I know nothing about them.

Holmes would be at the bottom of my list. In terms of needing him on the team.

Who the heck in that Rich Scanlon guy, and why did you have him up so high?
