Andy Reid and his thoughts
 

Reid was on 610 sports earlier on today and this is what he had to say.

"I enjoy doing it, so right now I'm not in the frame of mind to do that." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on whether he'd hand over play-calling.

"DJ might be stronger now than at any point in his career. He's living in the weight room." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on Derrick Johnson.

"He knew where everyone was on every snap." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on Alex Smith's progression this season on #TheDayShift.

"I think he'll probably be here.I think Dorse would tell you the same thing." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on Justin Houston's future on #TheDayShift

"I think he did a pretty good job." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on Justin Houston on #TheDayShift.

First interview all season that I found to actually be interesting.

Must have been a good day mentally for Andy.

This has potential to be a really fun thread.

Those thoughts are about as deep as an Alex Smith pass.

I agree. Are those the highlights of the interview? He didn't say much.

It's hilarious because the Chiefs are going to win 10 - 12 games next year and everyone is parading around here like we're doomed.

We played 11/16 games this year against teams with winning records; we won 9 games and that includes two TERRIBLE losses to a 2 win team (who we drew week 1 which turned out to be very unlucky) and the fuggin' 3 win Raiders.

If we won 12 games next year, who'd be surprised?

I certainly won't be.

We need to focus on figuring out how to split with Denver, though.

The two Super Bowl favorites this year (NE and Seattle), we beat.

So on OUR BEST DAY we can beat anyone. We have a ton of draft picks and have a GM who admitted we needed help at WR and OL.

I love the debbie downer attitude around here. ****, even DaneMcCloud gave up.

I realize no one wants to go out and win 12 games with Alex Smith because he's such a bad guy and child abuser ... but I'm just warning everyone.

I agree with Andy's take that Justin Houston did a good job this year. I'm willing to stand by that opinion if others disagree.

What did you predict for this season, Hootie?

A pretty good job? pretty good? GTFO

This board has became terrible about talking football the past few years. It's a bunch of clueless guys who base everything on the QB and are incapable about discussing other positions but hey LETS TALK ROYALS!

Here's wha he really meant to say. Hope you guys are happy........

I know it's CP but I think some people are a little hard on Dorsey. I have major issues with part of what Reid does during game day, but he also has a lot of strengths. We are in a rebuild and still putting out a decent product.

The QB is always the major issue, and should be, but unless you look at a Bridgewater the Chiefs really never passed up a QB since the two have been here. In fact, they added two young guys. Bray and Murray may not be electric stocks, but what electric stock have they passed up. It's the contract to Smith that is the real issue if there is one. Even with the contract, I think the FO sees Smith as a placeholder. Perhaps I am just being hopeful about that, but it's what I think.

KC exceeded my expectations this year in how they played, and that's after a number of losses to personnel I wasn't even thinking about. It's easy to judge them from how they fell after their high-water mark against Seattle, but some perspective is needed.

There is work to do, and with all that needed to be fixed, I don't think it's crazy that the F.O. needs another offseason to fix a few positions like OL and WR. The horrible truth is, that as much as KC is to blame for the QB position, it's also been a matter of terrible timing. None worse than missing on Luck and getting the junk options in the top of the 2013 draft. Even looking back now it's hard to know who to take out of that top 10. I believe they have men that are willing to get a QB, even with Smith. We just need one to be there for them. I wouldn't be shocked to see them draft a Hundley or someone like him in the draft.

With a decent offseason filling the void a bit at WR and OL (Which we will), this team will be very good in 2015.
