Scanlon...

[Wa-Z]

I don't know if I missed something...but why does everyone make fun of him?

Sorry for being stupid...

[SCChief]

There were some people who were so high on him that they proclaimed him the Second Coming. So the vast majority of people seek to make fun of the Scanlon Apologists by making fun of Scanlon.

[Rain Man]

What SCChief said. Scanlon is an innocent victim in all of it.

[Wa-Z]

Isn't he just a rookie?

[Dave Lane]

2nd year. Actually he has promise but the Roys said he was all that and then everyone piled on. I hope he becomes a star but not counting on it.

Go back and watch the Texans kick return for a touchdown. Watch Scanlon look like a fool on that play.

FTR, the guy is a good ST's player and a decent MLB. The problem with CP members is nobody wanted to believe me and it got blow way out of the water.

For the record, many ST's players will get out of place on certain plays, it's called being too aggressive at times.

Also keep in mind he leads the Chiefs in ST's tackles.

it has virtually nothing to do with scanlon and virtually everything to do with the Roy boyz.

Go back and watch the Texans kick return and see Scanlon get blocked in the back. Thats why he couldnt make the play, he took a block in the back and they didnt even call it.

A player with Scanlon's super-human abilities should be able to shake off a block in the back and rip out the returner's testicles through his throat.

Scanlon didn't get blocked in the back. He took a horrible angle. Along with half of the Chiefs players on the field. He didn't look any more foolish than the rest of them.

As for making fun of him, I don't think any Chiefs fan actually wants anything but success from him or any other Chiefs player. He's just become an undeserved part of the punchline of a running Chiefsplanet joke.

[Saulbadguy]

The funniest part about it is the Roys actually wanted Scanlon over Kawika Mitchell last year. :shake:

[KCTitus]

You wouldnt make fun of him if you broke down his preseason play via your game film/videotape.

Yea cause Mitchell was sucking around this time last year. He sucked in preseason, and training camp. Everything we saw in preseason of him last year showed at that time he was better then Mitchell but you guys didnt want to see it.

As of right now, Mitchell is the better player, but if Mitchell were to go down then our new starter at MLB would be Scanlon.
