He's worse

[gblowfish]

I hope when he's spooning his QB he'll still go "oooooh.....Matt....Matt!!!"
Except it'll be Schaub instead of Casshole.

Maybe he asked to be released

Maybe the way he tied his shoes that morning affected his play as well?

Ya know, since we're going to talk about stupid shit and all...

A deep threat WR was a need until they traded for Alex Smith. Now a TE is a greater need.

yes

Just a quick question. Has anyone heard a rumor about the Chiefs being intersted in keeping Glen Dorsey? Saw some chatter about it among fans of the Bears. They were disappointed in the fact we were planning on keeping him. I can't find anything about it. Thanks!

That's true, but he was nowhere near as good as he was advertised to be. That plus his fan disrespect is enough for me to not shed a tear.

Twist of Fate:

Winston signs with Arizona. Cassel follows. Cassel stinks it up, Winston whiffs on a block, Cassel is destroyed, crowd cheers, Winston's head explodes.

maybe baldwin can put on 10-20lbs or so and become a pass catching TE ?

None of that speculation has really come from the Chiefs though and to the extent it has (Dorsey saying he'd play the 5 best guys), it could just as easily have meant a move to guard for Winston.

Kelce the tight end from Cincinnati, would be a great get in the 3rd round.


FUnny thing though. Alex Smiths number one target this last season?

Michael Crabtree. Vernon got fazed out pretty bad by both him, and kaep until the playoffs.
