Yep. I've been pointing out for 2-3 years the trend in the NFL of size difference of WR to CB ratio and that the Chiefs needed to be looking for his replacement.

Look, He has always been a good guy and played best to his abilities. But, now he wants to use injuries as an excuse for last year but yet every year T.C. Rolls around some type of injury always came up out of nowhere.

This guy should really just shut his yap... why be shocked at the timing, they wanted to see how Cooper and Parker looked in OTA's before making a decision.

Well, bye, Brandon... don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

Stop it. You're raining on the rebuild parade.

I think that was the "last straw" that day. Had the Chiefs not suffered a rash of injuries, they win regardless. You're right in that the play of the Secondary did get worse when he went out though. Of course had Sutton just pulled Lewis, the Chiefs still might have won even with Flowers going down. That was one weird game, almost too weird and for the Chiefs to have lost it, it all had to happen exactly as it did. Change 1 weird element, and KC wins...

Back to the current - I think Brandon is still a Chief if he had the same contract he has with SD. As it was, it was impossible to justify keeping him. I totally understand the move, if KC uses his cap savings to sign Houston or Smith. I also think the Chiefs are worse without him, at least short-term, but that seems to be the plan at several positions this season.

Thanks Chiefs. Much appreciated. My team is the walking wounded and Flowers played great.




Brandon Flowers - 6 tackles (6 solo), 1 tackle for loss, 1 defended pass, 1 interception

Isn't this the guy with a groin so hurt that he couldn't play last week?

Brandon Flowers played a perfect game against the Jaguars. Not good, not great, but perfect. Against the run, he was perfect. Against the pass, he was perfect.

According to PFF, Flowers was thrown at four times all game long. He gave up 2 catches for 3 yards, and had a beautiful interception when Blake Bortles stared down his receiver.



Brandon Flowers, CB: +5.2

Breakdown: Flowers highlighted his day with a clean pick of a Bortles pass midway through the third quarter, but equally impressive was his habit for bringing down receivers on routes running under the defense. Three times he came up with tackles that limited the Jags to, at most, short gains.

Signature Stat: With back-to-back outstanding days in coverage – grading higher in each of his past two games than he has since the middle of 2011 — Flowers is proving quite the addition to San Diego’s secondary.

Still better than our poverty corners as predicted.

Yep, glad we let THAT one go to make room for the journeyman!

Flowers is going to mud-stomp KC's ass.

We haven't really missed him tbh.

I was going to bump this thread too. Yes, Flowers looks like the Flowers of old now that he's in SD. The guy is playing great and the city is enamored with him.

The people claiming Flowers was done just look like idiots at this point. Nothing new for CP i guess.

This.

Owens has filled in nicely in place of Flowers

How? He's already missed a game with a leg injury which are the injuries he was having problems with here. And he had a great game against a rookie QB on the worst team in the league.

Don't know why this invalidates anyones opinion. At the salary he was going to make, I don't think you can make a good argument that we should have kept him.

I agree that the Chiefs couldn't keep him at his salary, which is why im not too upset that he's not a Chief. My comment was regarding those who said Flowers was washed up when he clearly wasn't.

And Flowers has been playing well since the preseason for them. Not just one game. He's looked good out there. He's looked like the Flowers that we grew to respect. Again, San Diego can't stop talking about the guy.

I know why we cut Flowers and I understand that teams have to make those determinations all the time.

I just didn't like the timing of it coming during an offseason of not re-signing anybody, not signing anybody, and coming off of last year with a secondary that sucks dick.

They could have kept him. They had him on the team. They cut him and Tynes II and used the money on Alex...
