Woah there. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves.

No. Let's go for it.

Two deep threats, both with intermediate skills. One of them a bigger receiver so you can use him for other plays.

Top flight TE who is unlimited.

Elite rusher with receiving skills who can catch the ball down the field ala Faulk.

QB with nearly unlimited potential.

If the OL gets it's shit together there's no reason this offense cant't be in the same league with the 99 Rams or 98 Vikings.

Oh - I agree - BUT the OL is the BIGGEST ??? here.

Rams had Orlando Pace. We have...

Amerson was signed when Peters was still on the team

I thought it was a solid signing as a "4th corner"

We were talking about having a top 5 secondary with Fuller, Peters, Nelson, and Amerson

You hit the nail on the head with your last sentence.

It wasn’t just that Peters was a really good corner for us. With him as your number 1, Fuller became your number 2. Nelson becomes your 3. Amerson becomes your 4.

Anything you get from the rookies is just a bonus.

Sliding in a high level coverage corner at 1, makes every other corner position better because they all slide down one spot.

I missed you. Boop

I don't think Veach is clueless. I think he's following what his coach wants to do and what he thinks is a best plan for rebuilding the team. The pass rush was terrible last year and so was the run defense. I think Veach realized that he couldn't fix everything in one year, so he tried to bolster the front 7 with hopes they could make offenses more one dimensional against them. I'd look for him to address more of the secondary next season and I wouldn't doubt add another pass rusher.

Amerson was let go by Oakland (after being let go by Washington) and KC signed him very quickly afterwards. I don't think the plan was ever for him to play with Peters. While true that he was on the team when Peters was still there, Peters was traded shortly afterwards - I believe only a few weeks after Amerson signed.

IMO, he was signed only because they knew they were letting Peters go. No way the Chiefs decided to let Marcus Peters go on a whim.

But if you're correct in that they did plan to play him with Peters, then I can see him being a 4th CB.

But all that happened way back in February - it's August and Amerison is starting and is in WAY over his head. They had to know this would be the case. Yet they went with it.

Everyone should read this bc it is 100% right.

Let's also not forget that Dorsey also tried the approach of signing lots of overpriced but cheap contracts with the hope that a few would outplay their contracts. We missed with guys like Vance walker. But we got some pretty good bargains in Jarvis Jenkins, vickerson, Terrance Mitchell etc.... Veach will swing or miss on these value pickups but I'm good with him taking a lot of shots.

He actually attempts to tackle, case closed.

Yep, and that is what we know about. It would be surprising if there wasn't more locker room crap we don't know about. It wasn't like this crap just started with him and the Chiefs either, he dropped to the Chiefs due to issues.

But the lefties got to talk about the not kneeling part. Way down the list.

Good grief. Nobody can possibly believe that peters' only pro was creating turnovers. Holy ****ing shit with this stuff. Enjoy amerson. Most fans I would hope know damn well this is a major downgrade. I get why his attitude made him tradeable but good lord with all this ridiculous nonsense about being bad at defense.

Yeah, Brett Veach is such a ****ing idiot that when he watches this team play he doesn't see an issue in the defensive backfield.... Come on guys.

The Peters trade is difficult for fans, which is understandable. As I've stated countless times, the move made this offseason were not for the 2018 season, but two years from now. They got something for Peters before he walked. Fine. Does that suck? Yeah. But while we fans are not really into transitional years, that's what 2018 is. Get ready for shootouts. We have an offense what can do its part, but yeah the defense has some real holes.

Next year we will have a first round pick, probably in the 15-25 selection range. We also will get another 2nd rounder for Peters. Get ready for some fatties and cornerbacks!

Anyone who thinks this team is making a deep run into the playoffs this year is just setting themselves up for disappointment. Now that doesn't mean I don't think they can win the division or even make the playoffs as a wildcard - in fact I expect them in the playoffs, which would be an amazing season for our new young QB.
