To make roster room for Shaun smith, #Chiefs waived Stanford routt

Cutting a CB thinking it's going to solve your defensive problems is just as dumb as giving a huge contract to a corner thinking it's going to turn your defense around. Routt hasn't been great but if the front 7 was doing their job this wouldn't happen.

I think it was a good move actually. I saw that SOB quit at the end of the game last week. Cutting him is setting an example.

Might as well see how good Arenas can be outside or if Brown is gonna look any better. Nothing to lose.

Plus wouldn't we owe Routt a lot of money next year anyway?

wutamess · 11-05-2012, 11:04 PM

Other than attitude, this doesn't make a lot of sense. Routt played well this season. He was in position to make plays. And even had 2 picks. We forget he had a tipped ball for a td against at TB him which was luck. And one the wr made a helluva jump over grab. He wasnt that flag drawing db we thought he was and imo, he WAS coached up.

I guess if he was a cancer then its best for the team but he's lived up to his paycheck if you ask me.

You mean the game last week he was a healthy scratch for?

How does allowing more yards than every starting corner in the league, save one, equate to "well?"

Didn't I just say that one of those plays was luck that he tipped to the WR and the other the WR made a helluva catch. Take away those 100 yards. how does he stack up?

And where are you getting your stats from?

He was garbage. Pioli made a reactionary move after the loss of Carr and in typical Pioli fashion, made the wrong move.

The move to cut him, in and of itself, shows that Pioli is truly scared for his job and wants to appear like a rational guy to possible future employers.

He's a goner and he knows it. Now, we do, too.

To be clear, Routt was signed before free agency began. He wasn't a reaction to losing Carr, he was a preemtive replacement because they knew they wouldn't keep Carr.

With Routt's deal, it would have been feasible to tag Carr and let the two battle for the '13 roster spot. But that would have required inking Bowe.

Dude, where else: Pro Football Focus.

Routt graded out as one of the worst corners in the league...there's no two ways about it.

Did you even watch the Raiders game? Horrible.

He has been toasted all year and was never a good player. Ever.

**Rain Man** · 11-05-2012, 11:43 PM

I bet he was intercepting too many of cassel's passes in practice.

That's the most reasonable explanation I've heard.

MYKCCHIEFS · 11-06-2012, 01:13 AM

Dear Mr. Pioli, I only have one thing to say.

BigChiefFan · 11-06-2012, 01:23 AM

At this point, Pioli and his crew should be shit-canned for their numerous blunders. Sabatoged.

15th and 29th best coverage corner in 2011 and 2010 is a pretty good grade from pff. He may be a penalty liability, but your site says he can cover.

It was worse.... Crennel overheard him saying that KC reminded him of Oakland....
