This is hilarious. They get berated for having sucky recievers and they get berated for bringing one in. There is an indication that they might select one in the draft so he's automatically another Sylvester Morris. How exactly do you people expect them to get better without drafting them in the early rounds and without bringing people in?

as someone else noted, the signing of Hall and now Johnson coming in may mean the Chiefs are set with Surtain and know what the cap hit will be....I hope so...Johnson has talent and could be a good pick up, I'm all for it

It's not a question of Chiefs receivers being sucky. Or even drafting sucky receivers. It's the consistently poor results from drafting receivers in the first round.

Oh, who was the last WR that the Chiefs picked in the 1st before Sylvester Morris...?

I see we have Anthony Hancock in 1982... Elmo Wright in 1971...

I guess you can call this regime's first round WR's "consistently poor" since there's only been one :rolleyes:

The knock on Johnson is that he runs an eight yard route on 3rd and nine. Apparently he falls down if you even look at him like you are going to hit him. He does have good hands from what I understand.

You don't make trades with your own division rival. Now, you could probably trade him to Minnesota or Philly. They both have a lot of picks and some free money. But, neither of them would give us any more than a fifth or sixth rounder for him.

No it's a case of consistently bitching and whining and moaning about everything because it's become a fing reflex.

Yep...
 

5th or 6th rounder!
I'd jump on that deal.
It'd be a freakin' steal.

For some reason I was thinking Snoop Minnis was drafted on the first day. You are absolutely right. Draft away!

I have two questions here.

When DV yells for Johnny Johnson, which WR will come running over?

More importantly, with KJ's supposed friendship with former college teammate Donny McNabb and the Eagles lack of WR talent outside of TO, why isn't Philly all over this guy? Guess it goes back to DV's question about why he can't stick in one place.

I really like the way DV is able to woo the free agents with his glowing public comments though.

I'm not real big on K Johnson, but I'm not real big on Morton either. I'd be willing to give the guy a look. But to be honest, I don't see anything to make me think he's better than Morton. He's the same size, I don't know if he's faster (I can only assume he is), and he's been less productive over his career. I'm sure the teams he played on were part of it, but he's just nothing special IMO. It feels like we're just getting another Kennison/Morton...an average NFL WR.

After having his best season as a Chief, I have to wonder, if Morton sucked as bad as everyone around here says he does, wouldn't he be gone too?

Johnson has 2 things going for him:

1. He's not Johhny Morton
1a. He's not gay like Johhny Morton
2. He's cheaper than a gay Johnny Morton

the dude has averaged about 60 catches a year, prior to last year....

Didn't we get some pretty good years out of Elmo?
