thought this thread was supposed to be glued to the top of the Lounge?

Don't need to when people repeatedly ask for it.

Being in the advertising business I'd like to apologize to all of you coming to camp as the camp guide you will receive has 4 places listed for dining and one of those is McDonald's.:doh!:

This city does not deserve hosting camp.

There's always your place.

You should set up a gyro stand or something.

No thanks,I haven't even been to camp since year one,let's just say the politics involved are unbelievable.

I miss the hell out of River Falls. That trip was amazing every year. Great little town surrounded by other great little towns. Great weather, nice people. The twin cities, and a decent set up for watching practice. My wife and I would stand near the ropes during warm ups, then go to the top of the stands during team periods.
Gonna go to St Joe next week for one practice, and I'm hardly even looking forward to it. Not a huge fan if that city, anyway, and from all the negativity I read, it sounds like the fan experience sucks.
I know they'll never get back to River Falls, and probably just be at the complex during camp in a year or two... But damn I miss that trip.

No Alex Smith or Chase Daniel today at practice. Looks like they get the morning off. #Chiefs

And so it begins, bitches.

Can they just take the year off too?

Kid's gonna be a ****ing star.

Ya' daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn right.

:huh:

Kansas City Chiefs‏@kcchiefs4m
A lot of rookies and a few veterans out at practice this morning. Stanzi and Bray are the only QBs at practice.

Top 5 defense according to Chadia!

RT @evansilva: Ricky Stanzi opened #Chiefs camp as 4th-string QB behind Alex Smith, Chase Daniel, and Tyler Bray

Linky?

this is the 4th string QBs locker...

Hey Joe, me and my old lady are planning to come for the Sunday practice. Can you recommend some good grub for afterwards? I've been up there with my boys the last few years when they had night practices and we always went to Uncle D's for beer towers and bar food. The woman is pregnant with our first child though, so I can't really use beer towers as a selling point right now.

already?


maybe Bray isn't quite the dumbass we all fear he is

He was on with St. John this morning and said that the Chiefs were DEFINITELY a top 10 defense and probably a top 5.

Everyone (SSJ, Chadia, and Bukatey) was in agreement that it is going to be like night and day because of Alex Smith and Andy Reid and that we were all basically idiots for thinking that the 2-14 mess of the last 3 years doesn't matter.

D's has some good grub other than bar food and even though KC has them I'm partial to 54th Street Grill and Bar which has a great menu.

I'd normally suggest Hoof-N-Horn Steakhouse but they're closed on Sundays.

Other local possibilities

Mexican-Barbosa's
Variety-San Jose Steakhouse or The Ground Round

That's not really a strech. This is basically the same thing when Marty took over after the abortion that was 2 seasons under Frank "Crash" Ganz.

Feel like it was that way in year's past as well.

Very few local joints - more places like Applebee's, McDonald's and HyVee Salad Bar.

This times eleventy billion - although I have no issues with St Joe as a city.

Jeez man, it's ****ing football. Unless you have some actual tangible stake in the outcome, the whole point is to waste your time and hate the goddamn broncos for utterly arbitrary reasons.

As for me, I hate Alex Smith because he molests goats while fantasizing about Matt Cassel

So you're saying Bray, an undrafted rookie, if cut by the Chiefs, would be picked up off waivers by a team and added to their active roster?

Because they can't claim him off waivers to place him on their practice squad. He must clear waivers first.

No effing way that a team would do that. EVER.

BTW, the CHIEFS thought so highly of Bray, that they went an entire draft without calling his name. Now, without any preseason anything, teams would jump at the chance to put an undrafted rookie QB on their active roster that another team thought so highly of to not only not draft, but cut?

yeah, right :banghead:

@3guysinagarage: John Clayton thinks Eric Fisher will get signed today

@joshklingler: Clark Hunt caught some balls off the jugs machine today, no word on whether he'll sign #chiefs

@Jacobs71: Alex Smith, Chase Daniel, Donnie Avery & Tony Moeaki were given the practice off. #Chiefs

@Jacobs71: Rico Richardson was the star today during team & 7 on 7s

@joshklingler: and yes to answer questions, Clark Hunt did look like Wes Welker as he caught off the jugs machine #chiefs

@Jacobs71: Bray with a dart to Hammond in the back corner. #Chiefs

DOUCHEGASM!

@Jacobs71: Bray to Kelce for a TD. #Chiefs

@Jacobs71: Bray to Shoemaker for a TD. #Chiefs

@Jacobs71: Bray aired out a deep ball to Rico Richardson for a big gain. Good outside shoulder placement. #Chiefs

@Jacobs71: Great practice for the younger players to get a lot of reps. Bray & Stanzi allowed to get a lot of solid work in. #Chiefs

Because they haven't done squat except go 2-14 and draft a right tackle who isn't at camp yet.

You think Andy Reid took a 2-14 team and turned them into a Super Bowl contender in one OTA and mini-camp? Because that's all they've done.

You're off your ****ing rocker.

You know several guys go undrafted and make rosters every year right? Bray will be on our 53, and if he isn't hes making someone else's. He's already better than Stanzi, so it's stupid it's even being talked about.

This discussion about Bray would only happen to a Chiefs fanbase. We've been starving for a home-grown QB for decades that even a hint of talent that gets brought is seen as (or hoped to be) the next savior.

Bray went UNDRAFTED. NO ONE thought highly of him, regardless of his magical arm. I hope he does make the final 53. But if he doesn't, what does it say to other teams that he couldn't make a roster with Smith, Daniel and Stanzi as the QB corp? Teams are all of a sudden going to jump on him when they didn't even bother to take a 7th round flyer on him a few months ago?

Yeah, I'M off my rocker. Right.

Pfft, can he even play right tackle?

DUMBSHIT. GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD. ANY ROOKIE FREE AGENT WHO IS CLAIMED OFF WAIVERS IS AN UNPROVEN, UNDRAFTED PLAYER THAT 32 TEAMS COULD HAVE DRAFTED AND INSTEAD SIGNED HIM TO THEIR 53 MAN ROSTER FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S PRACTICE SQUAD. THIS SHIT HAPPENS. IT WOULD ESPECIALLY HAPPEN WITH A QB WITH TONS OF POTENTIAL.

And it would happen. If Scott Tolzien got claimed by the 49ers, then Tyler bray, ESPECIALLY IF HE PLAYS WELL IN THE PRESEASON, against other teams 3's and 4's, there is no way he makes it to the PS.

Stanzi is a dead man walking. hes only still around I bet because he is a camp arm. Bray is already following Alex Smith everywhere. Stanzi is dead.

Stanzi did make some nice throws today, according to Twitter.

He's a turd. He's a hand-picked pioli turd. His stink needs to get off this team yesterday. The only reason anyone cares is because they're from Iowa, which is shitty enough without bringing their suck to KC.

Cool, thanks man!

I'm not from Iowa. He's an unknown though, and I like seeing those types get at least a shot with the ones.

I didn't mean you. I mean the people who have been saying that he was going to tear shit up and that the reason he never played in a regular season game was because he was too awesome.

I love you as a poster. Although I prefer your old avatar.

Stanzi sucks.

It might make bring it back soon. Maybe a new one? Spice it up a bit.

I'm from Iowa & thinks he sucks

I know I am probably alone in my thinking, but if this is going to be a mega thread on training camp, I wish we could sort of stay on topic. Wading through mega threads is bad enough without wondering way off topic. JMO

Stanzi made some excellent passes today

It is readily apparent from this post that you have no idea how the waiver wire/practice squad designation works.

And I won't even call you a dumbass for it.

When a player is released he goes through waivers. If a team picks him up off of waivers, that team MUST add him to the 53 man roster. THEY CANNOT PUT THAT PLAYER ON THEIR PRACTICE SQUAD.

All practice squad players on every team must clear waivers first.

If that player clears waivers, then he is free to sign with anyone and those teams CAN place him on their practice squad.

Now I ask you, why would a team pass on Bray for 7 rounds, see him get cut by a QB-hungry team and pick him up off waivers and place him on their 53-man roster? Because they all of a sudden see him with amazing potential?

Bullshit. Won't happen.

If Bray were to be cut and he did clear waivers, why would he sign to another team's pratice squad when he chose the Chiefs as an undrafted rookie and went through an entire offseason with them?

I agree that it is entirely likely Bray will make the final roster, but if KC wanted to put him on the practice squad, it'll be likely because he didn't do much in the preseason and thus no team would pick him off waivers.

that's the main reason mega threads sucks

let's face it ... this place can't EVER stay on topic


at least with several threads, when one turns to shit you can just move on.

but people have this little ego competition going now about who can start threads that stay around the longest. So everyone wants to be the author of the mega thread.


Also why some people bump their own threads 10 times whether they suck or not.

might as well be on a playground playing kickball in grade school :doh!:

:thumb: Agree with your whole post!

Can we shave off this thread as pubes, cum on top of the girlfriend that is The Lounge, then put the pubes on her and let them dry?

Tyler Thigpen was an attempted practice squad cut by the Vikings before the Chiefs picked him up.

He had "competition" written all over him

It happens every year.
But since you asked...
1) A team may have had other priorities in the draft/at their spot.
2) A team gets through camp and makes the decision that the 3rd QB on their roster isn't as good as a PS player somewhere else.
3) A team believed they'd have a shot at signing said player, but didn't, and this is their second shot.
4) Injury
5) to keep that player away from the original team.

Now, it's fine to believe that, for 31 other teams, none of these things will happen. But it's nothing more than a blind prediction. But to believe that others who believe that just one of these five solid options may arise is being dumb, that's just wishing.

After being selected in the 7th round.

Is that part of the issue here? Drafted vs. undrafted?

Because if it is, I'll play by the established discussion's rules. But I think that's dumb. 7th rounders are often just as expendable as undrafted players. Teams want good players. Period. If they have to cut draft picks to keep aboard a really good undrafted guy, they do it. All of them do.

I know what you're saying, but I'm addressing this specific instance.

If Bray is cut and the Chiefs tried to put him on the PS, that means he didn't beat out Ricky Stanzi.

Any team that needs a QB desperately enough to pick up a guy that couldn't beat out Stanzi and place him on their 53 man roster, should have drafted 2 QBs in last years draft, 'cause it was a priority.

There isn't any issue here. The whole conversation was started by Carpenter saying IF the Chiefs wanted to sneak Bray onto the practice squad, they likey would not play him in the preseason, meaning every team that passed on him in the draft would only have college film on him. He only said that because Petro asked him and he was insinuating that if you don't see Bray in the preseason that COULD be a possibility. It was a total fake conversation.

From there it went full Planet.

And placed him on their 53 man roster NOT the practice squad.

BTW, that's about the quality of player we are talking about here. You think Minnesota is regretting their decision? I didn't think so and neither would KC if they cut Bray either.

I'm not sure what the big deal is. This is a discussion board is it not?

I'm unaware of a big deal as well, and yes it is.

OK, I must have misunderstood you.

K, I'm just going to forget I said anything. I clearly have no clue wtf is going on.

Stanzi made some excellent passes today

Anyone saying Bray wouldnt get picked up on the practice squad is ****ing reeruned...


Stanzi wouldn't get picked up.

we had god damn UDFA OL David Mims on our practice squad last year or whatever

remember that big huge dude, young, green as grass? He was plucked by the Ravens. A Super Bowl winning franchise signed him from OUR PRACTICE SQUAD to their roster.

He was on the Ravens radar as a UDFA when he signed with us instead, they kept their eye on him the whole time.

I'm not saying hes going to pan out, the point is, the other teams that were interested in Bray as a UDFA will have no problem plucking him from our PS, just like the teams interested in Mims were.

it happens all the time. We just arent used to it as often the last 4 years cause our roster has been dog shit for acquiring young talent.

I'd like to throw The Cabbage Roll in that mix as well, not sure if they are open on Sunday though. I do know that Galvin's is open Noon to 5:00 pm Sundays if anyone wants some great fried chicken!

I could suggest a ton of other great local places but you picked the wrong day, none of them are open on Sunday that I know of.

So, was at camp as players reported again, and the same group was there again. Alex Smith was coming back from the cafeteria or somewhere. The group all wanted his autograph, without even stopping he grabbed just one football and proceeded to sign it while still walking. One of the people in the group said "hey Alex, how bout a picture with my son?" Alex very rudely said "oh, alright, but make it quick!" And then proceeded without signing anymore autographs. What a prick!!

Strike 2

ouch! ur hurting my ears, stop it...

Sounds like even more of a dick than Cassel.
