Chiefs cut Jared Gaither

[evolve27]

Once regarded as a potential cornerstone left tackle in Baltimore, Jared Gaither is now out of a job.

Per a league source, Gaither has been cut by the Chiefs, after committing a key false start late in Sunday night’s loss to the Steelers.

The penalty came as Gaither replaced Brendan Albert for a snap, with the Chiefs driving for the win. On the next play, receiver Dwayne Bowe apparently called for a deep ball and promptly changed his route, allowing the pass to be intercepted.

We’ve got a feeling Bowe won’t be cut.

As to Gaither, he’ll be subject to waivers. If he clears waivers, he’ll become a free agent.

In Baltimore, the beginning of the end came in 2010. Slated to move to right tackle (which typically entails a larger body) so that Michael Oher could flip to the left side, Gaither showed up for camp the size of a tight end. Back problems ultimately wiped out his season, and he found limited interest on the free-agent market.

See, this is why we lost. A penalty by Gaither and Bowe "causing" an interception. Palko was fine. Really. You'll see.

I'm guessing Maneri is gonna backup both spots. Who we bring in, any guesses?

I lost a lot of respect for the announcers during the game when they did not recognize that Becht got in the way because he didn't know who he was supposed to block on that play. I saw it when the play was run live, watch his eyes, he thinks he is supposed to block the guy who got run out of the play instead of turning upfield and opening things up for a big gain. After several replays the announcers still didn't get it. :shake:

Well I suppose one good thing about this is we can finally put to bed the idea of moving Albert to Guard should Gaither regain his LT form. Was always a silly notion for where this team's need are.

that was our 2nd big offseason acquisition. Awesome Pioli!

it's pretty clear that Pioli has no idea what he is doing. The Patriots have been so successful for 3 reasons. 1. Falling ass backwards into Tom Brady, lucky. 2. Having a damn good HC. 3. Having an owner who cares about football and not just the business.

Pioli probably didn't have anything to do with it.

"allowing the pass to be intercepted"?

Tyler Palko approves of this message.

and Palko, Richardson, Sappysuckalot etc. who have made mistake after mistake. Cassle and Pioli can go on that list too.

He sure didn't seem like the worst backup player we had on the roster that needed to go ASAP.

[ForeverChiefs58]

Pioli clearly looks at this offense and realizes, we don't need no stinking help

[Lbedrock1]

How is it that a tackle can false start once and get cut, but a QB gets a pass after throwing 4 interceptions almost back to back? If we are going to lose why not lose with the rookie at least thenn we would have an excuse other than our QB sucks.

Remember when everyone said "The 2011 offseason will condense the calenders and separate the men from the boys among the organizational leaders...."

Christ I hope not because if that's the case, Scott Pioli not only got exposed, he got de-pantsed in front of the cheerleading squad and then run up the flagpole by the elastic in his underwear.

At least Haley is cutting some damn guys. This is the kind of thing I was hoping to see early on in his tenure ... either meet expectations here, or seek employment elsewhere.

I am a firm believer in the "praise in public, criticize in private" management philosophy. However, I was getting awfully tired of hearing how; "Such Andso was put in a tough situation out there and it's a team game and an 11 man operation ... blah, blah, blah".

You would think it was against the law for the Chiefs to make in-season personnel moves. That isn't exactly traditional around Arrowhead. It's good to know that somebody over there realizes that changes are necessary and a rolling head gathers no moss.

You miss my point, Mr. DJ's left nut.

The Chiefs are not particularly well known for making in-season personnel moves ... unless it's moving people in and out of the practice squad or IR. It's just not something they have traditionally done a lot of. This move, combined with the Orton deal indicate a recognition that we are holding our ass in our helmet right now.

As for "who" you cut, I'd rather cut the bastard who is doing nothing to contribute than cut they bastard who isn't doing nothing to contribute ... if you get my meaning.

There are several guys I'd like to see removed from my consciousness, Gaither is as good a place to start as any.

Why are the Chiefs the hand me down kings of the NFL?

Hand me down QBs and everything the Ravens cast off.

[gblowfish]

Gaither is a poor player. Cutting him shows me two things. One, because his head was not in the game at a critical time, he can't even remember the snap count, kills the team momentum, and gives Pittsburgh time to re-align their defense, and play for the pick. Cutting him shows there is consequences to poor preparation and attention to detail. Two, the Chiefs will probably draft a tackle in the first or second round, so they only have to limp through five more games short on the line until the end of year. It wouldn't surprise me if they trade down, and pick two linemen with their first two picks.

[kcpasco]

If they take a lineman in the first that tells me they believe Cassel or Neckbeard can run this offense.

In a vacuum, you're absolutely correct.

On balance, however, this was the only legitimate 'impact' move they even attempted this offseason and it went so well that he never saw the field and was made a scapegoat for a shitty quarterback.

The move itself means very little, but it's still an indictment on the overall performance of this front office.

Their performance this season has been a complete, unqualified disaster. The Executive of the Decade should shine when the degree of difficulty is raised. Instead, Pioli and his band of merry sycophants absolutely cratered.

They need a tackle to replace Richardson. If they get a good one (first round) that can play left tackle, you move Fat Albert off the blind side, move him to the right, and plug the rookie in at left tackle. Weigmann and Lilja are about done, so you put Hudson at center, then look for a guard to offset Asamoah on the other side. Probably make that your second round pick.

They may be worried about how well Charles speed will be affected by the knee injury, so maybe a running back in the third round.

I'll be shocked if they draft a QB.

I'm afraid you are the idiot. Of course Gaither was cut because regardless of the offside, the coaching staff didn't think highly of him. The offside was the icing on the cake. But, if that offside didn't happen, Gaither wouldn't have been cut.

But it's not like we have any decent depth at tackle and there are many backups on this team who have been really shitty this year but they didn't get cut.

If the team actually cut Gaither before that offside or later in the season, I would have cared a bit less. I mean, he was earning the base salary.

Cassell has been awful and awful game after game, same for McGraw, same for Pope, same for Jones, ... but they didn't get cut despite earning a higher salary than Gaither. Cassell is a bit of another story but why didn't the others get cut??

[jd1020]

How the hell would you know Gaither would still be here if he didn't false start?

Maybe Mims was impressing in practice and Gaither has been horrible. Thats the only logical explanation for him not starting at RT.

This isn't the same situation with Stanzi, because Gaither is not a rookie.

I'm saying that Gaither just doesn't have the work ethic to get past his back problems and the false start was the nail in the coffin. :shrug: Time to see what Mimms can do if he get's on the field. They should start him over Richardson.

[FAX]

Or, he was cut on account of an off-sides penalty at a crucial moment in a game.

I'm okay with that, too.

In fact, I think we should cut everybody who makes a false start. I also think we should cut any tight end who tackles our ball carrier in our own backfield when there's nothing but green grass in front of him and the game is on the line and we need the damn first down.

And fine, remove that element from it if you'd like. The fact still remains that the closest we had to an 'impact' signing this offseason (apart from a treadless Kelly Gregg, I guess) just got cut before December even got here.

Maybe he truly was this awful all season and they just now decided that it's time to be rid of him....is that really any better?

It's also possible that another team was sniffing around the Chiefs' practice squad and the Chiefs were afraid of losing Mims. It is pretty clear that Gaither wore out his welcome so was the obvious choice to go.

That's a pretty good theory, right there.

That would fall in line with Mims impressing in practice.

[Frosty]

Or, he was cut on account of an off-sides penalty at a crucial moment in a game.

If the Chiefs were to cut a player for a stupid penalty at the wrong time, O'connell would be so cut that his body would never be found.

[Buckweath]

How the hell would you know Gaither would still be here if he didn't false start?

This isn't the same situation with Stanzi, because Gaither is not a rookie.

WTF, Jared Gaither was cut two days after appearing on one play on our final drive for the win and made an offside and thinking he wouldn't have been cut had he not made the offside is illogic??

You can say that the team was ready to cut him at anytime but it certainly makes sense to think the offside was the final straw for the coaching staff.

Thinking 1 false start that happens at least 5 times a game gets someone cut is the furthest thing from logic.

Gaither was cut because he sucked. The end.

[Dartgod]

The timing is suspect, no?

And fine, remove that element from it if you'd like. The fact still remains that the closest we had to an 'impact' signing this offseason (apart from a treadless Kelly Gregg, I guess) just got cut before December even got here.

Maybe he truly was this awful all season and they just now decided that it's time to be rid of him....is that really any better?

The roster management this year has been nothing short of pathetic.
Don't disagree with any of that. Pioli (Hunt?) are completely responsible for the lack of talent on the depth chart. I just don't agree that Gaither was a scapegoat or the timing is suspect.

He simply sucked, provided no value to the team and they cut him.

I agree the same should be said of Palko, but we all know that Stanzi's not seeing the field this year, barring multiple injuries now.

Wow. Ok Gaither was cut because he sucked first and foremost and the offside was the final straw ('the last in a series of unpleasant events which finally makes you feel that you cannot continue to accept a bad situation'').

The fact that you keep calling it offsides (most commonly a defensive penalty) instead of the correct term (false start) tells me all I need to know about your knowledge of the game of American football.

[jd1020]

That false start didn't even cost the Chiefs the game. It happened on first down.

It wasn't like he came in for 1 play on 3rd and 3 and false started to bring up 3rd and 8, forcing Palko to throw deep and getting intercepted.

[Micjones]

I'm wondering what happens to this roster spot.

You're a lost cause. Nobody in the history of the NFL has ever been cut just because of a false start. Everyone knows that, even someone retarded.

When someone says: ''Gaither got cut because of an false start''. You have to read between the lines and understand that means he was cut because he was not doing the job at all and the false start on the winning drive was the final straw. Get it now???

If Haley starts Palko this week then Clark and Pioli need to walk down on the field and remove him of his duty. Promote Zorn. Call a timeout. And send Orton on the field.

[Buckweath]

Sup.

OK you'll just never understand.

[Titty Meat]

Didn't Gathier have a few penalties this year despite barely playing?

With David Mims. I forgot I read that this morning.
My bad.

[DBOSHO]

Has anyone posted that Mims was promoted to the active roster?

(hey, we landed on the moon)

[BossChief]

When you come into a game and on the first play false-start, that is all you need to know to ascertain that Gaither was ill-prepared for action and that is a clear cut sign of laziness through the week.

That was the reason he was let go in Baltimore.

Also, Id like to add that for a young player like Gaither to be already having back problems, that is either hereditary or he just doesn't prepare his body correctly for this type of sport....again, lazy.

Couple that with the fact that the coaches seemingly like Mims because of his work ethic coupled with his size and this was a foreseable move that makes sense.

They were tired of Gaither and thought Mims was ready and they didn't want to chance losing him to another team.

Its too bad, I was hoping Gaither would change his ways and make a serious career here.

Well, as I was walking in our townhouse this evening, I got to congratulate David on being signed to the 53 man roster and offically becoming an NFL player. Twas pretty cool that we both got home at the same time.

What did you say to Houston that made him play so well against Pittsburgh?

Can you ask Mims to take Palko out in "Thomas Jones" fashion.

thanks.

Yeah it was before they went to NE a few weeks ago. He was a pretty cool dude.

And Mims is a big SOB. Really nice guy. My wife made him some cookies a few weeks ago and he brought back the tupperware thing washed. Surprised me.

I think what people are attempting to drill into you is that we have no way of knowing whether the false start influenced their decision or not. Perhaps the false start was a non-issue for them? Maybe he'd have been kept around if they didn't want to sign the guy from the PS to the active roster?

Word probably spread and that sealed the deal with Pioli...

[SenselessChiefsFan]

KC Start today mentions communications issues and miscues on offense. It goes on to say that Gaither was cut to send a message about mental mistakes not being accepted anymore.

Hmmm.

Other Headline: Haley praises Palko.

The story on offensive miscues also mentions things like coaches forgetting to turn on their mic, fuzzy headsets, and other excuses.

Does anyone remember these offensive miscues last year when the Chiefs had a real OC?

I am sure glad they cut a backup tackle for having a false start. That should really set the tone that mistakes will not be tolerated.

Unless of course, you are Palko whom the coach really likes. Or a geriatric offensive coordinator. I mean, how can we expect someone that old to pay attention to things like Mic on/off switches.

I can't wait till this staff is run out of town. I hope it is soon.

he showed that he couldnt be counted on when needed, the false start the other night just another in the line of mis-cues he had in his limited playing time.

My gosh! Will people STOP blaming Dwayne Bowe for the late 4th quarter interception thrown by Palko in last Sunday night's game? What did they expect Bowe to do, leap 3 feet in the air above the 4 or 5 defenders surrounding the pass, and then shift to his right midway to catch the ball? He's not superhuman for crying out loud. Palko was exhibiting Steve Bono-like reflexes. He took a 5 step drop, ignored the open receiver, and instead passed to a receiver that was in triple coverage.
