That has never been my position, and I've stated it clearly and unequivocally NUMEROUS times, . . . so it trends to purposefully lying to assert it against me now.

The point is, a drafted QB is supposed to be the foundation to give you a leg up, not a point to settle into the easy chair and say 'we did it' everything's fine now. We have the thing that will fix everything we neglect from here on out.

Buildng a winning franchise is a comprehensive effort, and if you aren't maximizing your potential, you're squandering it as it ages and gets richer and accumulated injuries.

Aside from his cap hit, there is nothing about acquiring Mahomes that says anyone in the building gets to take a breath and take it easy. And that's the problem I've been critical of. And the more time passes, the more his cap hit erodes our capacity to compensate top-level talent and effort, so pursuing excellence becomes a time-intesified endeavor as soon as you have that component that makes you a potential champion.

And none of that merits your tact with me. But I'm not your daddy, comport yourself as you see fit.

I say it's a conspiracy. The AFC west and the bills sat down and said we have to weaken the chiefs. Where can we send tyreek hill? Jets or dolphins!

On another note, most of the amazing plays that Hill made in KC were a product of a QB capable of chucking the ball 60 yards in the air off his back foot or on the run. Tua isn't that same type of QB, so it'll be interesting to see how Hill produces there.

I doubt the plan was to get the Chiefs 5 picks for a WR. No matter how good that receiver is his game still relies on his QBs ability and last I checked the Chiefs still have Mahomes.

Considering the speed MIA now has on offense and the focus on adding playmakers and an addition to the OL, what is the O/U (games played) on them getting frustrated with Tua and moving to Teddy B?
