After the Pioli ousting, I disagree that another three year losing rebuild was an option. We've quietly rebuilt this team without the pain of watching a complete shit show. Let's not act like Cp wouldn't be in the same state of pissiness if we chose to dismantle this team.

People got what they wanted.

Berry is gone and Parker is taking his place.

Happy now, CP?

The worst part about the win now move in trading for Smith is that they gave him a Cutler esque contract that removes any possibility of improving both facets of the team in free agency.

Congratz Dorsey, you suck.
 

I could only laugh at his ill-timed jump that ended in a completely blown opportunity. That and the out Gaines stepped in front of were ****ing Christmas gifts from Manning.

We didn't capitalize on either one.

Idk man Gaines was one of the best players at the combine. He had the 2nd best 3 cone of any DB and was top 5. With his long arms and confidence, I couldn't see him lasting to round 4.

I think you will see Dee Ford's value next season. Tamba looks slower and is wearing down. He can't last late in the season anymore. The guy will be lucky to get 8 sacks. I just don't see how we bring him back.
Ford has time to learn the game and go through his technique while getting even stronger.
Dorsey drafted this guy rd 1. He has the benefit of having the best Paas rusher taking all the attention as well as a very nice pass rushing DL.

$9 million is too much for an old worn down Tamba. Love the guy but it's time.

Or all the many missed tackles from Parker where he completely whiffed. Not aggressive tackling the ball carrier at all. Everytime i saw him, i couldn't help but to think that Berry would've made that play as he's done so many times in the past.

So i ask again, now that CP got its wish and Berry is gone with Parker starting in his place, are you happy?

Parker isn't terrible. Sure he didn't make the catch, but I'm thankful he at least was there oon position instead of not knowing where he is like Kendrick Lewis.

He's a JAG. A Jag that played well...but then reminded us he's a jag

It really depends on if you are a glass half full or half empty type of person. I look at Dorsey as someone who virtually ignored the OL and WRs and ILB.

I agree Davis, Kelce and at this point Gaines look good, but the other guys IMHO are just "guys" at this point.

I think DAT is more than a JAG. He was a great value for where he was taken.

I feel like Dorsey had no choice with the cap being so tight. You can't expect him to make this roster look good with no money and no picks.
What would this roster look like if he had both his 2nd rd picks?

This spring is the draft that needs to be the foundation. We can nab 4 quality players with all of our early picks.

Chiefs have $20 million in space...

I don't have any issue with acquiring a young backup/heir apparent for Tamba Hali.

I do have an issue when the guy acquired is so bad, he doesn't even see the field as a rookie and is expected to play next year and replace Tamba.

As we have seen with Fisher, counting on a guy to improve his technique and getting stronger is no sure thing. I'm not excited to be doing it again, with another first round pick.

A rush end taken in the first round should be able to contribute SOMETHING in Year 1 (other than on special teams or a hilarious/sad clip that goes viral because he runs away from a RB).

As for Gaines... again, I'm not saying taking him was a mistake. (Mistake: Not drafting a WR with ONE of those two picks)

Regarding waiting on him... it would have been risky, but it could have worked out. Gaines is definitely a physical freak and his stock was rising, but he lasted until the second half of the third. It's not inconceivable he would have lasted until the 4th, and between projections almost all having him in rounds 4-5 and the general surprise expressed when he was drafted (awful lot of "reach" comments), it might have worked out.

And if it didn't... there were a lot of quality corners on the board after that pick, but no real quality receivers.

You mean our Dline that just gave up 200+ yards rushing?

a Dline so bad at stopping the run that Manning didn't feel the need to throw the ball?

excuses

we needed that same WR/OL all of last offseason

Injuries? I think Dorsey had assembled a team with great depth?

excuses

Our dline isn't the issue. Our inside lbs are terrible and Mauga was consistently attacking the wrong gaps. Without berry, our safety run support is terrible. With Sutton as our d coordinator, he has got to be better at his rotations. The lineup of bailey, vickerson, and Poe is miles better than rotations we've had. Even depth guys like Howard are better than anything we've had in a while.

Get some thumpers at safety and both ilbs. Problem solved. Both of those problems are helped tremendously with a healthy dj and hopefully a healthy berry.

I'm still impressed we're 7-5 this year, but very unimpressed with our last two weeks

Still, I think the intentions were to get this team competing for 2015 so ...
