I mean, not all of his moves have been perfect and some of the biggest ones (Frank Clark) still have question marks.

But on a day like today, it's hard to argue with what he's done so far, regardless of whether it turns out to be better than what we had.

He basically said that he's going to strike out swinging for the fences because he thinks he can hit a home run every time, rather than just stand there and watch the ball go by.


I would contend that the Frank Clark move is not a question mark.

Frank was brought here to help KC get to and win a Superbowl.

At the time, Chiefs fans wouldnt care if frank cost 200 million if you were told, listen, we make this deal you will see KC win a superbowl.

Franks playoff run was about as good as you can ask for, closing out every post season game with sacks after talking mad shit leading up to, and during those games.

We won the Superbowl.

Now we are afflicted by greed, and now the one title we saw isnt enough, now we want all the titles for the next 15 years.

Frank didnt live up to the contract last season and we still only lost 2 games that counted. But to me, it doesnt matter. Frank was part of a massive culture change that led to a superbowl win.

I cant call that a question mark move by Veach.

All of this.

I was thinking about this the other day...and I hope Andy is doing well with all that’s going on, and has had time to compartmentalize.

Hope he’s all in on the roster change conversations this free agent season.

I don't care if we overpaid and now he's hurting the cap. We won the Super Bowl. Clark was an essential part of why we won the Super Bowl. It was a good deal because we won the Super Bowl. I waited 50 years. Frank Clark will be forever a part of that pretty pretty good memory.

I've trusted him like a father since the day he drafted Mahomes.

He'll be my Adopt-a-Chief until he's done. :thumb:

Bart Peach is a swell guy and a snazzy dresser. WBF

It's natural for Chiefs fans to have PTSD in terms of trusting a GM.

Steadman, Carl, Fat Scott, John Dorsey... that history will create a built-in GM skepticism.

I don’t expect my gm to bat a thousand.

Sometimes shit happens.

The biggest thing is always be flexible and pivot. He’s shown that he’s one of the best at that

Unprecedented year in FA and, per the draft gurus, OL class is solid.

They're not going to start a rookie at LT.

If they bring in a guy like Williams though, they'll likely look at a developmental tackle in the draft.

This. 50 years for me too. Frank showed up when it was necessary to help exorcise the demons. Magical season.

And he's 43 years old. He's just getting started.

Bump.

Let this man cook.

I’ve said it over and over, Veach is aggressive, but he’s also selective. He will grab a couple more free agents with the space they created, and if we can have another good to great draft, this team is still on track to continue dominating.

VAGOMO 4 LIFE! 03-28-2021 09:06 PM

The next person that bitches about Veach should be banned tbh
