Short answers:
1. Derrick Alexander got on everyone's bad side by having a string of minor injuries that kept him off the field more than anyone expected or thought reasonable. 2. Johnny Morton was seen by many to be an 'eh' signing. Obviously not a #1 receiver, but serviceable. He's been a bit of a disappointment. 3. Boerigter was viewed quite highly, but was on crutches all last year, and didn't have a good year the year before. His star is falling fast unless he can come back strong this year.

DA was at the end of his career. Bo was hurt last year, I'm sure they'll see what he can do this year.

I have no idea WTF Morton's problem is. I do know he has a very inflated opinion of himself. He doesn't seem to have the passion for the game that he displayed in Detroit.
DA was one of those ultra talented players who got by on talent alone. As he got older, he could no longer rely on his natural gift but he didn't want to put in the hours to remain a talent. He always had a hamstring injury at training camp that miraculously cleared up by opening day. |

I remember that "play action offense" Gunther Coached and he did so well with it. I remember the first game that year he caught that nice long bomb and scored. Didn't Elvis throw for 4k that year and we still ended up 8-8?

Morton developed a serious case of drop-the-ballitis which in turn doomed him in the eyes of disgruntled chief fans.

Morton hasn't looked good at all in KC, and I still hate it when he does "the worm"

Johnnie Morton faked an injury last TC when he was in direct competition with Marc Boerigter for the starting spot. Morton magically got better when Boe went down for the season.
Morton pretty much quit on the team at the end of last season. What does he do to rectify the problem this offseason? Skips the first set of workouts with the team. If there is one person I hate on KC, it's Johnnie Morton. |

not much to do with the original topic, but does anybody think Jeris McIntyre makes the roster this year?

Morton revealed a revolting habit in critical moments.
He would get wide open at a critical juncture. With the ball delivered directly between the numbers, on time, and in the hands, he'd put it right on the turf. The old catch the ball BEFORE you run thing. Boerigter had a bad year draopping the ball 2 years ago. Even the balls he did catch were all cradled or bobbled. He never had a clean catch all year long. Turned out in the off-season that he had had a vision shift and required corrective lenses. Looked lots better in the preseason last year then got hurt. Where he'll be this year is anybody's guess. |

I seem to remember DA getting a lot of his yards in "garbage time". I think his stats were better than his overall performance. He was never consistent.
I think DA lives around here still. I've seen him at the Best Buy around 119th and Metcalf a couple of times in the past few years. |
