Update from @mortreport: Cards visit with Andy Reid is off, Chiefs have not scheduled other visits with candidates, hoping to wrap deal Fri.

Eh, get a QB that can stretch the field and he can make more of an impact on those short to intermediate routes. Easy to defend when they can only throw the ball 10 yards downfield without sailing it out of bouds.

If Reid turns Dexter into a productive player it will just confirm the genius that is Andy Reid.

The two guys being rumored for the job are Heckert, who has been fired, and Dorsey. He's currently listed by the Packers as Directer of Football Operations - General Manager would be a clear promotion.

it was in the link.


i guess if he doesnt have "final say" GB could say he isnt REALLY the gm and block the move.

basically it has happened before and if he wants to come here he would have to lie. lol

One thing that will drive you guys nuts with Reid is your QB running play action on 4th and 10 down 7 with 2 minutes to go. It's like, c'mon man, the defense knows you aren't going to run on that play. That was one of my Reid pet peeves.

I'd rather see that then Crennel opting to punt.

This one started because the other got too big and became mega itself.

Instead of 1,500 rush and 280 receiving, expect to see something like 1,300 rush and 500 receiving.

With a real life NFL passing game and coaches his rush yards will go up regardless of 30-50 fewer touches.

It would be hilarious/sad if he goes to AZ or SD.

It's already been reported those meetings were cancelled.

The potential of Reid coaching Geno, Charles, and Bowe makes ye pants tight.

that three year stretch with Faulk and Vermeil/Martz was just...wow. he did things that were just SO incredible...never went down at first contact, shiftiest most agile back I've ever seen...great hands

that was the start of my fantasy football life...he was God back then. Oh and us Chiefs got some love as Tony Gonzalez usually went in the early 2nd and the next TE wouldn't go until the 8th or 9th.

just like in the fantasy baseball days when Pudge and Piazza were top 3 picks and you had to draft a 3rd baseman because there were only like 3 good ones...not anymore!
