Doubt it was me. I've been a Gaines fan since he was drafted.

I gave Sean Smith a lot of shit though last offseason. Him and Cooper. Sean Smith proved me wrong though.

Fleming was solid as oak last year, IIRC.

I'm not saying we can't do better but I'd rather not rush an aggressive rookie onto the field to start the season, especially with a huge divisional game against Peyton in week 2 followed by what'll probably be our toughest challenge defensively all year the following week at Lambeau.

100% sure it was you, but I think it had more to do with my "rankings" not meaning jack shit lol.

Maybe, idk, haha.

Just glad to see other Chiefs fans see what I see in Gaines. Reminds me of Kelce last offseason and we all know how that turned out.

He only played in 7 games last season, and IIRC, not all of those were starts. That's such a tiny sample size.

That's why i think Boss' idea that somehow this kid who was plucked off the practice squad and got 7 games worth of action is some how as valuable as Mychael Kendricks.....is freaking insane epic homerism.

I can agree he's yet to earn his stripes. I'm just saying, when he was in the games I rarely ever noticed him. Sean Smith is much the same way.

We ended the season with him as a starter, I think we'll do well to stick with him as the starter unless Peters or Gaines prove themselves to be a definite upgrade.
