Chiefs tried to trade Charles
http://kan.scout.com/2/934713.html

With Texas headed for a National Championship showdown with Alabama, two former Longhorns now playing for the Chiefs performed as if they were back in college and dominating inferior competition Sunday afternoon.

Jamaal Charles and Derrick Johnson ended the Broncos’ playoff hopes and opened positive floodgates for the 2010 Chiefs during a 44-24 win in Denver.

If you had told me before this game that Matt Cassel would only throw for 207 yards, Dwayne Bowe and Charles would catch only one pass combined and Kyle "Pro Bowl" Orton would throw for 431 yards, I’d have sworn the Chiefs would have lost on Sunday to end their miserable 2009 season. Instead, they played their best football game of the season.

With Charles setting a Chiefs’ single-game rushing record with 259 yards and Johnson scoring two touchdowns off interception returns, have we seen the birth of the new Chiefs? Did we just witness the genesis of the team we’ll see next season?

It won’t hurt if both Texas standouts are on the roster come September. Charles is a lock, but Johnson is a free agent and has not been a happy camper in Kansas City since Haley arrived with his in-your-face coaching style.

Charles’ big day almost didn’t happen. Before the trade deadline in October, Chiefs’ general manager Scott Pioli offered Charles to the Redskins for a paltry fifth-round pick. But Washington GM Vinny Cerrato felt that was too high a price to pay for a backup running back. That might be why Cerrato was fired last month.

The Chiefs held onto Charles and he has paid huge dividends. A year ago, former Chiefs Vice President of Player Personnel Bill Kuharich told me Charles was going to be a special running back, and that’s why he pushed former GM Carl Peterson to draft him in the third round.

Charles is clearly the go-to back in Kansas City based on his second-half performance this season. Kansas City now has the luxury of pursuing other needs on offense in free agency and the draft.

Johnson, even though he was primarily used in passing situations, clearly has still been KC’s best inside linebacker all season long. The Chiefs now need to make a strong play to keep him, because he’s talented enough that he’ll go somewhere else and succeed.

Charles and Johnson weren’t the only bright spots Sunday. Early, it became clear that the Chiefs were ready to play from the opening snap. The first play on offense was a 50-yard bomb to little-used wide receiver Terrance Copper, sending a message to the Broncos that the Chiefs weren’t going to lie down.

The Chiefs kept punching the Broncos in the mouth until they delivered the knockout punch – Charles’ 52-yard touchdown gallop - that eliminated Denver from the playoff race. Just for that, this game has special meaning. Chiefs fans can live the entire offseason knowing their team ended the season of an AFC West Rival that started 6-0. While New York's win Sunday night also would have eliminated the Broncos, the Chiefs had the pleasure of taking away Denver's hope early.

Who’s the better coach now? Todd Haley or Josh McDaniels? We’ll have plenty of time to debate that this offseason.

Haley showed something Sunday and will get another season to turn the ship around in Kansas City. We should have no problem with that, especially if the reports are accurate that Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis will soon be taking over KC’s offense and defense. Crennel and Weis would give Haley two former head coaches to bounce ideas off, and that could be enough to make a huge difference next season.

This season was full of bitter disappointment for the Chiefs and for the most part it was a negative year that warranted harsh criticism. But Monday morning, that doesn’t matter. The Chiefs are undefeated in 2010. Now we wait nine months for the next game.

You mean something he fumbled doing and promptly didn't play the next week?

Back in October the Chiefs didn't look like they thought much of Charles.

Welcome to my thought about 8 months ago and they've still done nothing to make me feel comfortable.

Ponder that.
Yeah, and they had so much depth behind LJ to just be dumping young running backs for 5th rounders.

Also, Jamaal may be the player he is right now because of what happened earlier in the year. These guys pretty much used the threat of being traded/cut/benched as tools to see who wanted to be here and fight for a spot and who didn't care and wanted out. Charles has pretty much admitted that the whole scenario made him realize he better take advantage of his opportunities. He's grown up a lot this season...

How many sources do you need regarding the entire roster being on the block?

Grown up is translated into actually given carries eh? When LJ was here he got maybe 3 touches a game.

And after all of the ridiculous roster moves I've seen this year, don't give me this depth argument.

I guess Belichick was a moron too. It took Bledsoe getting hurt for him to figure out how talented Tom Brady is.

Just look at Larry Johnson. The coaching staff got ripped up and down for their handling of diapergate and all that, but in the end they turned out to be the one group that got the most out of LJ.

No, it's really not.

If anyone other than Nick writes this, no one argues, because it was well known that Pioli was trying to get picks for any player he could.

Yes because it takes a shitty publication make people step back and realize that in 40 moves Pioli brought in 2 players better than the one they replaced and in 1 case it's a kicker.

This has nothing to do with Nick.

And FWIW, I don't have an anti-Pioli agenda - the few times he's done something I've agreed with, I've given him his due respect.

I've said countless times that I hope to hell I have to eat a huge, steaming plate of crow because the guy brings a Championship here.
Everything I own is for sale for the right price. But I'm not considering a scrub draft pick in exchange for something I have 1st day value invested. Sorry.

Look over there:

Your avatar disproves your anti-Pioli agenda claim.
