Raise your hand if you're smarter than John Dorsey and Andy Reid

[RealSNR]

*raises hand*

**** any and everybody who has ever asked me, "Where's your NFL team, bro?" when I gave a passionate football opinion.

I may not have years of NFL experience or know the first thing about coaching. I may not know jack shit about filling out a roster with quality talent.

But I DO know what a failure of an NFL team looks like. And with this trade, Dorsey and Reid have just presented to me a failure of an NFL team.

And had I been GM, the Chiefs would still have their INCREDIBLY valuable 2nd round pick. They would have all their 2014 draft picks. And they wouldn't be forced to let Albert go and draft Joeckel all in the name of "draft value."

Geno Smith or Matt Barkley may bust out of the NFL. But I'll be damned if I'm going to watch this team build around retread game managing shitasses, and then pat them on the back for doing their best. They're not doing their best. They're not willing to risk their careers on doing things the right way. They're scared pussies who want job security. 7-9 gets you job security, so that's why we're shooting for 7-9.

I'm going to go impregnate my wife right now. I'll bet you by the time my son or daughter is old enough to vote this ****ing trainwreck of a team STILL won't have their shit together.

Why not just wait until the 9er's release him? Why give up so much?

[HemiEd]

Here, both hands raised.

I have been watching this team make the same mistakes over and over for the better part of 43 years now.

I will show them that I am smarter than them by not making the same mistake of dedication to the team that I have had for 43 years. Life is to short.

When a group of people use their own reasoning and simultaneously arrive at the same conclusion, that is called CONSENSUS, not group think. Sorry.

I don't think the value is good, but I think he is the better player this year. I think geno's system makes him a bit overrated and wasn't all that comfortable in hitching our wagon to a rookie that seemingly nobody is enamored with. Keep in mind that the coaches on this team got to interview the class and watch them at the combine and still passed.

I'm wondering if signing smith makes it more likely for another team to try and trade up. It's not out of the question for the chiefs to pick up a 2nd rounder and change in a trade down. If so, you pick up Milner in the 10 range and hopefully see what's available in the 2nd round.

Yes, this is a bastion of independent thought.

What if monkeys fly out my ass? What if Matt Casell beomes a franchise QB with his next team?

And if you believe that's what's happened around here, you're fooling yourself.

And what happens when he gets another concussion?













Thought so.

Did you see the Alex Smith/Matt Cassel thread?

After we all jizz on the cookie in the middle, you can eat it.

What happened to Dorsey believing in building through the draft?

[mnchiefsguy]

Raising my hand. Rep to you SNR.

You act like this is a cult around here.

It happens to be a community of Chiefs fans that through the years has evolved in tone and mood to favor this particular brand of Chiefs fan. It's not a friendly place to casual Chiefs fans, nor is it friendly to people who just want to criticize the opinions of others ("You guys are petulant crybabies who don't get their way") while at the same time having no valid opinions of their own ("It's not my team, so I'll just wait and see what happens. Maybe Alex Smith is good.") Lately you've been fitting pretty squarely in the second type.

Whatever the overwhelming opinion is on this board arrived because people came to this place with that particular mindset. Some came here with other attitudes, and then switched after having discussions. Others still latch onto their opinions, but they're still valued football contributors to the community nonetheless.

Calling it groupthink is just being butthurt because your opinion isn't the popular one

... because everyone agreed on the hole Sanchez/Cassell thing.
