Anyone else think Priest isn't coming back? - Page 4

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.

If that's the case, he is as good as gone. I really can't blame him either. If he doesn't bail now, he may not be able to walk.

I say let him sit the rest of the year. No point in aggravating ANY injuries or risking a career ending injury in the remaining games this season. Plus, since we play 4 more division games this season, you know some sick bronco or raider will be gunning for his hip or anywhere else he may be vunerable simply so they dont have to face him next year.

Let him sit. I say give LJ the ball the for the Raider game. Use it as a confidence booster. I think he has more potential then Blaylock but just needs the reps. We need a backup for Priest because I think that next season will be his last season regardless.

I wouldn't be suprised at all if he's done for the year. Wouldn't suprise me that much if he retired either.
You have to keep in mind the F.O. treats the fans like a bunch of mushrooms with cash.

I think he waits to see what's done with the D in the offseason. If it's another case of SSDD, then he's gone. And as was mentioned earlier, the O is a house of cards. When PH goes, I look for a few others to follow.

I don't think it has anything to do with the defense. This time it's about his body, family, and he's been paid.

So basically Priest was paid for a season and a half. Joy.

With that kind of cash, you can put a lot of cheddar in your nacho tub.

I'm pretty sure he has to return any unused portion of the signing bonus if he retires, doesn't he?

Taco John · 11-30-2004, 01:10 AM

Maybe there is something we all don't realize about the holistic healing qualities of nachos?

Doubt it. But, I don't know for certain. There aren't too many agents who would allow that in a contract. The only guaranteed money is the bonus in the NFL.

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.

How many teams in the NFL have even been to the Superbowl? I know the goal of every team is to get there. KC has been there, there are teams that haven't even been close.

If you would rather have the GM from, like say N.O., would you be any better off? If you got the GM from San Diego, would you be any better off? (Remember, we had Shottenheimer and got close, but his mantra is to go limp in the playoffs.) What GM would do a better job? The facts are that CP has given the Chiefs the respectability that we couldn't even spell during the 16 years of darkness.

Is CP doing as good as a job as he could? None of us think so, but there isn't anyone on the bb that knows what the guidelines he has to work by to do his job. Anyone care to give it a guess?

We can fight the system all you want, but we don't even know what that system is. We are all babies crying for mama's milk (Lombardi Trophy) and we can't do a thing about it until mama uncovers her tit. Doesn't matter how loud we cry we have no control over when she pulls up the shirt!!

I hate to lose as much as the next person, but in this world shit happens!! It just so happens that alot of it is happening to our team this year.

Awesome. You should add some dripping cheese for effect.
