Well we know Lilja is a bad signing now
http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/1253
The Chiefs' best move Adam Teicher Most of their recent free agent signings have the potential to make the Chiefs a better team. Thomas Jones could, if he hasn't hit the wall that so many over-30 running backs do. Shaun Smith could, if he listens to and is motivated by Romeo Crennel. Jerheme Urban could, if he can catch the ball more consistently than Bobby Wade. Casey Wiegmann could, if he can play for the Chiefs as he did his first time around. No coulds about Ryan Lilja, though. He will make the Chiefs a better team, period. Consider what he does for their offensive line. He fills the considerable gap at right guard and all of a sudden, that line doesn't look so shaky. His intangibles are an even bigger plus for the Chiefs. Other than Mike Vrabel, who probably has no more than one season left in him, the Chiefs had no player who knew what it was like to be a major part of something special. Thanks to Lilja's six seasons with the Colts, they do now. And Lilja, who signed a three-year deal, is no short-timer. He'll be 29 in October, so he should be a part of what Scott Pioli and Todd Haley are trying to build for years to come. So while I like the Chiefs' first four outside free agent moves, they all come with qualifiers. We might be looking back at those guys next year as yet more Chiefs' free agent failures. Not so with Ryan Lilja. This guy has winner written all over him. |

I would say that the Rams did get the better end of the deal. NFL MVP, 3 time Off. player of the year, a super bowl. He was one of the most productive backs in the league during his time in STL. |

I think the fear here is more that one man's treasure (Colts) ends up being another man's trash (us). Or, since they let Lilja go, that one man's trash turns into another man's trash.
Uhh.. Lilja is overrated. There...

The Colts have been pretty good over time in talent evaluation...
EXCEPT FOR OLINEMEN I have read through three Colts boards and all of them have one thing in common when they talked about Lilja: Polian cant evaluate offensive linemen for shit. Other things that were pretty universal were that Lilja was their second best linemen -and- now that Howard Mudd is completely gone and retired, they are going to go with a bigger offensive line and blocking scheme and that doesnt fit a 290 pound guard. The only place I read that he failed a physical was here. I didnt pay attention too much to that conversation, can someone link where it said he failed a physical for Indy? |

I hate that Teicher likes this move. I like that Babb likes this move, and I think we can all agree that having a solid competition at RG is going to be awesome. You will have Lilja, Neiswanger, and Colin Brown all competing for RG in camp. Talk about addressing a serious position of need!!

Competition means nothing when everyone sucks or someone is going to play no matter what...see Mike Goff and Mike Brown.

He must surely somehow suck if we signed him, this does not amount to anything noteworthy.../Planet
