Here's something I didn't expect: remember Colin Brown?
Hilariously terrible 5th round selection by Scott ***** in the famed horrific 2009 draft class?
Something like the 57th rated tackle that year? He just got a two-year extension with the Buffalo Bills, who play him at guard but really like him at center: Quote:

Jackson has proven to be a backup caliber player. 30th ranked DE = backup caliber. Jovan Belcher is ****ing dead and he wasn't even a draft pick. Ryan Succop was a good pick but clearly the rest of that class is garbage. I'm glad we got some depth with the #3 pick though.

Just wait though. We just released a Top 5 RT to make room to draft the Pillsbury Dough Boy at number one overall. That may top the dumbassery from 09.

I'm trying to figure out how someone who probably has more penalties and drops than catches is a usable TE.

Even so, most starters on a 2-14 team would be reserves elsewhere.

Lordy. That's laughable.
He's not even the worst TE the Chiefs have had this decade. This is what I'm talking about. Seriously. The justifiable angst about the Matt Cassel acquisition gets bled out across any player, acquisition, or coach that wasn't amazing. During the Cassel era, Chiefs fans on CP decided that there was no spectrum between garbage and great. Only that there was great, and anything short of that was automatically garbage. That's fine, you've got to cope with the Cassel era somehow. It's just not correct. That's how you get stuff like: Quote:
And I guess we're supposed to throw out our understanding of team sports going back to third grade and degrade everybody who isn't a stud performer at their position as "absolutely nothing," but that philosophy isn't going to get you very far. |

Name a worse TE on the Chiefs than Jake O'Connell.
Merritt and Allan were totally worthless, but one could at least block and the other had some rudimentary athleticism. O'Connell was a garbage TE in a mid-major conference and only hung around b/c of the Pioli connection.

Quinten Lawrence is a DB who has never actually played DB in the NFL. They are absolutely ****ing nothing. They don't exist, basically.

What you just highlighted are all Top 15 players at their position. Everything beneathe them, during the Cassel era, is automatically hot garbage. Tyson Jackson, because he is not amazing, is automatically garbage. As is Succop, at least to Hamas. And on it goes. Again, that's your jam if you want it to be. It's just not correct. |

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. Jon Asamoah isn't a great player but he was a good pick and a fine starter. Many here share that opinion. Javier Arenas is a decent reserve corner, and Tony Moeaki is OK when healthy. Slightly above average. So you're wrong.

im actually cheering Jake O Connell on this season to survive all the way to the final 53. Because it will not only be hilariously amazing he keeps making the team, it will piss everyone off that he takes up a roster spot for the last 5 years. Gotta love that.

Again, it's cool. I get it. Pioli ruined the past four years because he hitched his wagons to a QB disaster. And he deserved to be fired. I'm on board. But allowing that existential frustration to drive you to pretend like he was the Shit version of Midas is simply incorrect. It's probably pretty satisfying, though. |

Tyson Jackson isn't even average. He's shit. He's a decent backup because he's got some size/strength, but that's it.
