It's going to be interesting to see all these folks that claim WR wasn't a need turn a 180* during the season and make excuses that Alex Smith has no weapons.
We're likely not playing a .390 schedule and a bunch of bottom third defenses this year. |

I'm suggesting that, with the way this offense is structured and the guy we have playing QB, it probably really isn't going to matter. I don't think one rookie WR was ever going to be the difference between a winning season and a losing one. And I'm sure you know that you won't EVER see me making excuses for Alex Smith. Even though I've done an about face on him, you still see me fighting against the excuses not for them. |

It was posted to show how ridiculous some of you look when you claim that we didn't need WR help. One game against a below average defense and getting numerous short fields (thanks, defense - even though everyone blames you exclusively) isn't a predictor of future success. Take off the Chiefs-colored glasses for a split second and tell me if you think this offense is going to be successful this season, and in the future when we're consistently getting <60 yards a game from our WR's. The offense is JC or bust. |

I have accepted the fact that this a team that is rebuilding.
They went about in a really backassward kind of way, though. First thing they did was go out and pay a high price for a sturdy, reliable door to replace the broken one that invited intruders in. Then they went about tearing up the foundation while hoping the walls don't collapse around that door and break it.

Hali and Houston, while good players are not as great as they're made out to be on this board. They're decent pass rushers, but really they're not that fast and they need lock down coverage to be able to get to the QB. The Ford pick was an attempt to get a speed rusher that can get to the QB very quickly in order to try and help the cover guys on the back end.

I don't think this team is rebuilding. They've just been building the longest outhouse in recorded history. |

Yea but you guys act like you never watched Andy Reid in his 10 years in Philly. Dude has never made WR a need really, and made chicken salad at out of chicken shit for 10 years until he hit on Jackson/Maclin. I think the Jackson/Maclin WR he wanted was gone at 23 so he said **** it.
The bigger question is why they didn't address the safety position which could actually be the sole reason we lose the games we do in 2014. |

And IIRC, Maclin (if not both he and Jackson) was taken after Reid lost some of his personnel control. WR problems were a YEARLY concern for almost Reid's entire tenure in Philly. |

Instead, he continues to believe that the offense revolves around the RB in a downfield passing league. |

Not to change the subject but the more I think about Dee Ford, the more I think they're going to have a hard time keeping him OFF the field.
IF he's healthy (and yes, that's a concern), he could be extremely disruptive. He's a better pure pass rusher, athletically, than Hali ever was in college. |
