*** Brett Veach Appreciation Thread ***

[teedubya]

I haven't started a thread in many years, but I was thinking this morning (after searching to find one of these type of threads on here) about the Chris Jones scenario. And it would seem to me based on what we know about Veach and Reid, that we shouldn't be concerned.

The ability this team now has to find and develop talent is OTHERWORLDLY.

Chris Jones is an AMAZING talent, but what's the difference between $25m and $30m at the end of the day? Not THAT much. He's set. Jones is just pissed off that the Chiefs didn't sign Frank Clark, so he's being a bitch about it.

But Brett Veach ALWAYS finds a great talent to replace whoever is in there.

He found Patrick Mahomes II and begged the Chiefs to draft him.

The way he assembles teams is something we've never seen in KC and maybe never before seen even in the NFL. And he was born in 1977, IIRC.

So, In Veach I Trust. He will be a pro football Hall of Famer, IMO.

What are some of your favorite things that Veach has done that you'd like to thank him about?

Kicks are easy.

Punts are trickier animals.

Whoever gets that gig is gonna have to earn it. Because our boy Nico was damn dynamic in his own right as a kick returner and demonstrated chops as a punt returner as well. I don't think he'll give that job up lightly. Which is why I don't really have Williams in the running for it - he's just not explosive enough to take the kick job from Remigio and I'm not sure he's experienced enough as a punt returner to win it on those grounds.

So it's Smith and Royals that may be able to grab it and they'll have to be DAMN dependable on those punts to take the job.

Speaking of....why doesn't Remigio get more play as a WR?

Because he's not that good.

Post never said otherwise so yeah. They're just on a level behind teams like the Chiefs and Eagles while everyone acts like they are the best drafters ever.
