and apparently the Chiefs, like you, can't look beyond the numbers and see the real value.


doesn't bode well for the future

I understand that we were down to our 3rd RB. But you do realize LJ averaged 3.5 YPC right? Go back and look at the gameday threads for the games LJ was playing in. He consistently was missing reads, running into blockers, tip-toeing in the backfield, whiffing blocks. Of course a huge part of that is on the line, and that coach was fired too, but Saxon deserves some blame for not getting a top 3 back to make good reads, cuts, or run hard.

So now, you think Saxon will be greatly missed? I never once heard anyone saying Saxon was that valuable until he is fired. Hell, people who have been bitching about Solari all year are suddenly taking the guys back and calling him a scapegoat. LOL

Please tell us why James "the almighty" Saxon SHOULDN'T have been fired, genius.

Saxon is a white man, correct?

Easily our best position coach.

Mistake...

No, he's a black man.

Where exactly does LJ's responsibility come into play?

We paid LJ a gazillion dollars. He isn't going anywhere. Get used to it.

I wonder if Saxon was coddled in his firing like Johnson was in his failings.

But, he acts like a white man, correct?

FAX

I never said I wanted him gone.
I'm just wondering where he has to be responsible for his performance on the field?

Blaming Saxon for Johnson being tentative on the field is insane.

I'm not sure...What are you getting at?

Well, he got hurt and we were winning, so I'm not sure what would have happened if he would have kept sucking and we would have started losing.

Saxon would probably still have been scapegoated.

Ultimately, he's a Vermeil holdover. That's why he was canned.
