Anyone else think Priest isn't coming back? - Page 3

Dr. Johnny Fever · 11-29-2004, 07:44 PM

...at least for the rest of this year? When he was injured they said it was suppossed to be a week or two..then more...now another couple of weeks more. I know, they said it's hard to tell how long it will take an MCL partial tear to heal...but why did they originally say one or two weeks if that's really the case?

When he hurt his hip we were told he'd be right back and of course he didn't come back until the next season. I have a sneaking suspicion that we're not being told the whole truth again.

Whether he's injured worse than they thought, or they're just sitting him since we're out of the playoff race and giving time to Blaylock and Johnson to see what they have for next year... I don't know... but I feel like we're being left out again... Maybe they're afraid we won't pay $20 to park and fill the stadium and buy $8 beers and $4 bottled waters if we know we're not gonna see our best player...???

It's probably another vast right-wing conspiracy.

I'd say 30+ years as a season ticket holder entitles you to have any opinion you like and although I respect your opinion of still believing in the system I do not agree with it.

As for the numbers of wins under Carl etc.,so what,not winning a Superbowl is still not winning a Superbowl be it by way of sucking during the regular season or sucking during the play-offs.

So talk about respectability all you want,the last time I checked the ultimate respect in this game is hoisting the Lombardi trophy,something KC hasn't done in 30+ years no matter who in the hell was GM.

I've been telling you guys for a month that Priest is done. He might show up in a couple games in December, but he's gonna retire.

Realistically? Yeah, he probably will.

But something in me also tells me that he will want to break some more records.

Retire? I thought you said he was just done for the year, I had no idea you said he was going to retire....

i hope you're wrong about this one, but i wouldn't really be surprised...

there's no good reason to think that carl and company can get this thing turned around next year and the year after that will be too late for this offense...

if it was me, i'd have to think long and hard about retiring because there is no chance that kc can fix its defense enough to win it all next year and winning a sb is about all there is left for priest to do...

i guess if it were me, i'd probably take the money and run...

I wouldn't be surprised if you were right, but I would really hate to see him go.

Yeah, I think he will. In fact, I think we'll lose a chunk of our offense and start rebuilding this offseason. This starting 11 is a house of cards at the moment - one goes and we'll lose another 3 or 4.

I've always taken these comments as some sort of "Taco smack". I still can't believe that you think he will retire this year.

He was seriously thinking about it before this season and his dad talked him out of it. I think his dad will be back next year from the sand trap. Add to that the guy has been dinged again this year and may be thinking long term about being able to walk without a cane and I think there is at least a 50% chance he is out of here.

Nope. Print it. Scoop the other fantasy sites.

Mile High Mania · 11-30-2004, 12:27 AM

I know he thought about it and the rumor is "out there", but there's lots of rumors. I never have given it much though until the last 2 weeks. I doubt he plays another down this season, but unless the injury is bigger than they are willing to admit right now... I can't see him dropping out.

Hammock Parties · 11-30-2004, 12:30 AM

I think if legit efforts are not made to improve the defense, Priest is outta here.

The word is that he's not just nursing the knee. Everything is hurting him right now including the hip. He's through.
