Whitlock - Scoffing Law is maddening

Scoffing Law is maddening


You ever get in a dispute with your child when you have to remind him/her that you haven’t always been grown, that you used to be dumb, young and prone to lying?

My mother always says, “Ain’t nothing new but the doers.”

I’m about to have one of those moments with Carl Peterson and the Chiefs as it relates to free-agent cornerback Ty Law.

I truly don’t claim to know everything about sports. U.S. soccer just canned Bruce Arena. I don’t know whether it was the right move or not. Doctors recently removed 80 percent of Barbaro’s right-hind-hoof wall. I won’t second-guess their decision. According to the New York tabloids, Michael Strahan’s soon-to-be ex-wife claims the defensive end tried to secretly videotape her sister. Without a look at the “evidence,” I can’t comment about what motivated Strahan.

I try to stick to what I know in this column space, stuff I’ve been told firsthand, stuff I know from experience.

Ty Law can significantly improve the Kansas City Chiefs. He can make them a playoff team, maybe even a Super Bowl contender. Ty Law, for my money, is the best cornerback in football. This is a fact. And it’s not a fact based on a lifelong friendship, like the fact (my belief) that Jeff George can still help some NFL team.

My factual opinion about Ty Law is completely unbiased.

I’m growing irate that the Chiefs are insisting on playing a Mickey Mouse game with the best cornerback in football when Stevie Wonder, Helen Keller and Abe Lincoln can see that the Chiefs’ defense is in desperate need of a top-flight corner to pair with Patrick Surtain.

The Chiefs have the cap space, the need and the right coach (Herm Edwards), so I don’t see why Carl Peterson keeps stating that Ty Law’s acquisition is an “economic” decision.

It should be a football decision. Period.

With Eric Warfield drying out the first four weeks and average corner play the rest of the season, the Chiefs finished 10-6 a year ago. Meanwhile — stuck playing on an injury-riddled New York Jets squad — Law put together a league-leading, 10-interception Pro Bowl season on a less-than-100-percent-healthy foot.

Would the Chiefs have qualified for the playoffs had Peterson signed Law last season? Seriously, do you think Law, his 10 interceptions, sure tackling, toughness and experience would’ve been worth one victory?

You see why I’m getting upset?

Peterson is pretending like the Chiefs can afford to play this year without Ty Law. They can’t. Oh, you can take solace in the fact that no other NFL team has met Law’s contract demands if you choose to, but I know Peterson/Chiefs have more to lose in this game of chicken than Law.

Law has three Super Bowl rings and four Super Bowl appearances. He’s proved he’s a solid piece to a team’s Super Bowl equation. Rather than accept money he believes to be far below his market value, Law can wait and sign with a bad team willing to pay a little more.

Obviously that’s not ideal. But neither is signing with a good team, helping it reach its goal and being completely unhappy with your contract a year later.

The Chiefs need Ty Law more than Ty Law needs the Chiefs.

The Chiefs have suspects — not prospects — competing to play opposite Surtain right now. The longer this things drags out, the more I suspect Law will return to New England or sign with some desperate squad such as Arizona.

Law told me at the Pro Bowl that he’s looking for $10 million in guaranteed bonuses. I’d get creative and give it to him. Yes, he’s 32 and missed nine games and the playoffs in 2004. Before the 2004 season, he was quite reliable. He held up for 16 games last year, and should only be better this year.

Not signing Ty Law would be a terrible mistake.

Beuerlein sucked arse with the Raiders...maybe Marty didn't want him since he had faced him and knew what kind of QB he was...or thought he knew.

You guys make some pretty good points. We should have traded for Kosar in case Beuerlein ended up as a FA bust...Kosar wouldn't have cost a 1st and then we could have drafted Stubblefield.

Because Carl had no interest.

He had his sights set on Montana, and he was going to get him come hell or high water.

Carl traded a 1st round pick for Joe Montana and the rights to my fan status.

Beuerline didn't suck arse with the Raiders, he just didn't have any talent surrounding him.

In spite of that, he showed he was capable of making plays, which is the reason I was hoping that Carl would get over his woody for Montana and make a play for Beuerlien.

Maybe the most negative aspect of that trade

Good point, that gets back to the topic: Carl does what he wants to. Carl obviously had a woody for SF signal callers. We were running a modified West Coast offense in those years, so it does have some logic to it.

The Chiefs have 125 consecutive sellouts. Pretty sure the attendance was fine after Marty's first year.

10 mil signing bonus seems too high. Maybe 5 mil over 3 years. That 10 mil would eat a lot of cap room.

2 years and four months isn't quite "almost" 3 years older.... it's really 2 years older.... the age difference between law and surtain...

4 months is 33% of a full year. I apparently look at age the same way you look at a slab of ribs, I figured you get 33% in and you might as well go for the rest.

And what does Super Bowl rings have to do with anything? Did he win them all by himself?

Instead of trying to change the subject, address the wheel chair. Of course, you can't...

Unless we get more consistant pressure on the QB without sell out blitzes, having Law would not matter...

NO pass rush makes even the best CB look average, look at Surtain.. YOu can only cover a WR for so long..
