So, you're saying that John Dorsey possibly knew that Berry would go down with injury? I mean...what?

With Berry healthy, this is a defense FOR SURE good enough to win a Super Bowl.
Without him... well, we're going to need to catch a break somewhere down the line. Maybe that comes by way of Steven Nelson getting healthy and actually contributing in December and the playoffs. Or maybe Murray just "figures it out" throughout the season, which can happen all the time to young players. Yeah, the defense is playing fine-ish, but I don't know if our offense can keep up in the playoffs when the defenses start to take control and win games for teams. |

No. Dorsey didn't think Berry would be a huge loss, especially at his price tag. Clark disagreed, and the deal got done. Now Berry is gone for the year and Chiefs are 4-0 without him. Does this prove Dorsey was ultimately right? And therefore it was a mistake for Clark to let him go?

Don't know how his contract reads, but it should have been heavily laden with games played incentives

Kind of a silly question to even be asking. There's no way to answer this question until we know how healthy Berry turns out to be over the next six years.

But right now, indications are favoring Dorsey's analysis over Clark's. |

Kind of weird how the two controversial calls that wore out Dorsey's welcome (according to unverified rumors), not re-signing Eric Berry and cutting Maclin, are currently both looking like reasonable deals.

Every time we had a FA we had to fork it out because we gambled wrong. The late round draft picks look good but the expensive early round picks mostly failed. The UDFA's look great but the known talent should have been extended/singed earlier to save $$$. He was excellent at the bottom dollar guys and completely ****ed up with the top dollar guys...

Eh, its an injury situation, but would be nice to have Maclin back now that Conley is done for the year.

What? Dorsey got one of the few salvageable picks when he got Fischer out of that dumpster fire of a draft. Kelsey in the 3rd. Peters and Morse in 2015. Jones in 2016.

It seems to me from what I read that Dorsey was trying to resign many players (Poe, Houston, Hudson, etc.) before they made their leap as you say but those players are confident in their ability and know that with a big year they will get the big payday. So it turns out that a lot of them on the uptrend won't accept anything less than a big payday even before they make the big leap and ovbiously will want the big payday once they have made the leap. I am a really big fan of Dorsey. This being said, one of the few mistakes that he possibly did was to give that huge contract to Houston and not tag him. I just think it is not sound business to give a contract to a player who is just off a career year, got 22 sacks and is unlikely to repeat that. |
