I also have to wonder which would do more damage to the fan base, A Failed Vet (yet again) or a failed rookie.

Judging by polls on ESPN and the Chiefs site, plus talks with friends and family in KC, the overall grade given to Dorsey, Reid and Smith is at around a B+. Most people are happy with the new acquisitions and I think that free agency will only bolster those opinions.

Whether it works or not is yet to be seen. I get it. I'm just not slamming the door shut because Matt Cassel was a failure.

I think Alex Smith is a guy that hates to throw the ball away and that's why he takes a lot of sacks. Also maybe that would explain his high completion % because he never throws the ball away and instead takes sacks.

Should have drafted Mercilus last year.

So you'd go Jordan?

Long-term, he may be the better pick. However, if you think that you can get real push from your D-line with one of those first three, that's more impactful than a ROLB would be, especially when we already have Houston who's logical next step is to supplant Hali.

Yes, I agree, he does take a lot of sacks. Hopefully, that's something that Reid and his stable of coaches can help in that area.

why do people think Tamba Hali is on the decline?

did you see the d-line he was playing alongside of last year? how about the MLBers and safeties behind him?

or the RCB to his outside? No? okay. Guess you were all sleeping

Their oline in 2011 had a combination of Chilo Rachal, and Adam Snyder at guard, which also had niner fans screaming that anthony davis was a bust.

And I told you this before, but you just ignore it.

Tamba is not on the decline.

He was used in pass coverage 70% of the time last year.

He is a pass rusher. Sutton will do a good job with him.

Still turns 30 in November. He still has 110 games of mileage on him.

Sure, he's going to have more talent around him, but do you really expect him to return to the 15 sack guy he was at 27?

I'd be surprised to see him get back to the 12 sack guy he was at 28.

Time's a bitch and it's not on Hali's side. I don't think he's shot, but I don't think you can argue with a straight face that he isn't either A) in decline or B) due to start said decline in fairly short order.

Smart teams have young, ascending players on their roster backing up older players.

Having a Dion Jordan (despite his brilliance outside of football) would be nice not only as a rotational player, but as insurance if either Hali or Houston were injured.

If either were to be injured, it would seriously affect QB pressure and pass rush.

id rather him take an unneeded sack, than an unneeded turnover which the chiefs saw far too often last year.

But yes, he even admits he takes too many sacks. Hopefully that changes.

**The Franchise** · 03-14-2013, 02:08 PM

What about 2012?

The one where he averaged 2.4 sacks a game......only down .35 sacks per game from the year before?
