***NFL Cuts Thread*** (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=349951)

I think Dan Orlovsky has been reading CP satire posts about anybody the Chiefs sign and that inspired his Caleb Williams comp.

I shit you not - I'm not allowed to play with clients.

We have two Juniors who are awfully good so we send them to go golfing with the clients. We occasionally call the founding partner out of retirement if one of our two anchor tenants wants a round but under no circumstances is it gonna be me.

But I have a buddy who's kindof a big deal for a publicly traded company. Did the leadership schools and all that nonsense - doing well down in Texas. He told me "hey, all that 'putt for dough' stuff is bullshit. Learn to drive. That's it. Business golf is about keeping the ball in the fairway and then strolling out there with your client instead wandering through the rough looking for your stupid ball. None of those guys give a rip if you 4 putt but they are gonna lose interest in this outing REALLY fast if you keep stealing the cart to go find your ball OOB"

I'll be damned if he's not right. If you could just hit everything 225 and straight, that's PERFECT for business golf.

But yeah - I'm bad. And don't have the patience to be good.

LMAO - Fair enough - I never made an effort to be good at golf, I have played a couple of times and I'm just terrible. I may as well be the caddy.

Commanders release Marcus Kemp.

Trade for Watson in the works? Or, worse yet, getting ready to poach ISM.

I don't know yet. I'm not sure I buy the 'generational' stuff, though. That's for sure.

What I think people lose sight of is how few mistakes Mahomes makes.

The difference between a good golfer and ME isn't the good shots. I can make a handful of damn near PGA caliber shots on occasion. Good flexibility means I can really whip the clubhead through.

But brotha I am a shitty golfer. Because for every 'Mahomes' shot I make, I duff 8 of 'em. I will absolutely rip an approach shot right down the middle and be set up for an easy bird - then I'll center the ball with a pitching wedge and hit it 60 yards over the green on a 12 degree launch angle. Or I'll just hit the top of it and roll it 15 yards.

I really don't give a damn how amazing a play a guy can make. Or how MANY of them he can make. It's how many mistakes he makes that matters.

Eli Manning said it best - 'When I'm bad, I can't be that bad...' and for the overwhelming majority of quarterbacks, that needs to be the thing they focus on. And it's real possible that a lot of really talented guys are going to lose sight of that fact and a lot of really bold front offices are going to get a few coaches fired with them...

Excellent post.

Unfortunately for everybody, these kids think the Mahomes plays are what’s important, and the subsequent deterioration of fundamentals is going to lead to mistakes.

ROFL Props for self awareness.

I too am a shit golfer. We have a half mile grass runway at the farm and I used to try to do a little driving there, but man I’m a bag of shit. and like you don’t have the patience to learn.

When I was at Cabela’s the guys from the office insisted I golf with them when I got married. We split up into pairs and Obviously I was in the rough looking for my balls. Poor bastard with me deserves free beer forever. But I ripped a good one and out drove everybody. I didn’t say a word about it on account of all the other garbage shots I hit, but my partner talked SO. MUCH. SHIT. ROFL

Golf, for all its faults still achieves a nice endorphin hit when it’s right.

The other thing that always made me laugh is my supervisor was a big golfer. Drove a piece of shit Volvo from the 90s, but bought a house on the golf course and a membership and golfed like every day for 9 months out of the year. Obviously him and I didn’t have a ton to talk about but I’ll never forget him saying, “I’ve seen dudes spend $500 on a driver, but won’t spend $20 for a lesson.” Fits an awful lot of people I know.

Hows his blocking, for the role he'd have here he'd mainly need to be good at that.

It's not. Pass.

(and I say this as a Mizzou fan)

I want him as receiving insurance if (god forbid) Kelce goes down and all that’s left is Gray or Bushman.

If you're going to keep 4 then yea I'd take him over Bushman.

You’re only bringing in Albert O to be a receiving TE. He’s not a blocker and he doesn’t contribute on Special Teams.
