Peter King: Chiefs distancing themselves from Piioli regime
 

Ummm....Has King ever watched a Chiefs game? Bowe has never been a deep threat. He excels in crossing routes and using his size and strength to break tackes for long gains.

The Kansas City Chiefs, in the span of one week, have distanced themselves about as far from the Scott ***** regime as possible. It'll take a while to find out, but the race is on to see if the commitments coach Andy Reid and GM John Dorsey made to three players will pay off in the form of a more competitive Chiefs team.

The Chiefs have a deal in principle for San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith; that could have happened under ***** as well, but it's thought he was going to spend a second-round pick on one of the rookie quarterbacks in the class of 2013. The team made an $11-million-a-year commitment to wide receiver Dwayne Bowe in the form of a new five-year contract Monday. Those close to the Chiefs think ***** may have franchised Bowe, but never committed that kind of money to the occasionally unreliable receiver. ***** might have franchised left tackle Brandon Albert, but it's also very possible he would have let Albert walk and drafted a left tackle like Luke Joeckel with the first pick in the draft.



Bowe has been an electrifying receiver, and he could be the deep threat Reid loved in DeSean Jackson in Philadelphia. But will Smith -- whose throwing arm is just average, and who will be used more as an intermediate thrower than deep -- be able to use Bowe's playmaking ability downfield? I've never been in the camp of those who think Smith can't throw a strong 35-yard go route; it's simply that the deep balls are not his strength.

But Smith in 2011 and '12 under Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman proved there's more than one way to play quarterback. His average yards per attempt was 8.0 in 2012, significantly higher than renowned deep-ball throwers like Ben Roethlisberger (7.3), Joe Flacco (7.2), Jay Cutler (7.0) and Matthew Stafford (6.8).

I think there's a good chance ***** would have investigated Smith and quite possibly would have dealt for him. The personality profile, passing efficiency and age (28) would have appealed to *****.

But Smith, Bowe and Albert, in tandem, would probably not have happened under the old regime, and certainly not the big contract for Bowe. There will be an interesting chemistry experiment in Kansas City this season.

**** YOU KING!!!

So for everyone wondering what Scott Pioli's opinion on all the goings-on in KC over the past week or two, there it is.

national media doesnt give 2 sh*ts about the chiefs franchise

Name one reason why the national media "should" give two shits about the Chiefs?

and yet King writes about them nearly every week....

I love the fact that we basically get to know what Pioli would have done.

There are about 5 teams the Media gives a shit about. Everyone else is in the same boat as the Chiefs.

Yeah, comparing Bowe to Jackson is plain old dumb... they couldnt be more different.

If the Chiefs start winning, they'll get more coverage.

If they go to multiple AFC Championships, they'll receive even more coverage.

If they win a Super Bowl, they'll receive even more coverage.

And soon after that, people everywhere will be sick of hearing about Chiefs, outside of Kansas City and its fans.

I like this scenario.

I am positive I know about KC more than this pig.

without knowing the first thing about them other than what Scotty tells him.

We are the retirement home for washed out QB's That should be of some interest..

Other than that, we keep repeating the same shit each year. No need for anyone to write anything meaningful. They can rehash the same articles year after year...

I happen to like and enjoy Peter King's columns because often times, he's reporting directly from high profile players, coaches, GM's and scouts. But more often than not, his "bubble" is very small and basically encompasses the Northeast.

Well, and Peyton Manning, wherever he may roam.

Since 2006, the Chiefs have had four head coaches, two GM's and one winning season.

4-12, 2-14, 4-12, 10-6, 7-9, 2-14.

I don't know why anyone in the national media would waste their time writing about the Chiefs, unless something of importance, like a player signing or the changing of regimes happens.

Face it: The Chiefs don't sell many magazine and don't provide much internet traffic as compared to the Patriots, Redskins, Giants, Cowboys, Eagles, Peyton Manning, etc.

I really enjoy his columns and think hes a good writer.....but i really question his true football knowledge at times.

I don't think Pioli would have traded for Alex Smith. He's not from the beloved tree. I think we'd have traded for Ryan Mallet and his Billy B sloppy seconds.

It's odd because I don't think he's learned much about football over the years. But he has lots of contacts and he's trusted, which is why I enjoy reading his columns.

But a football genius he ain't.

Peter King is just TOO DAMN HIGH!!!

So nobody is going to comment on this little tidbit about Smith?

Claynus is still asleep in his parent's basement. Once he wakes up, I'm sure he'll find a way to refute it.

I wonder how accurate he was on deep ball throws?

So accurate, he got benched!

He's probably capable of being a better deep ball thrower than what his reputation would indicate. Most of the offenses he played in didn't emphasize anything down the field. Norv Turner said he was the best deep ball thrower he'd ever been around back in '06, of course that was before his shoulder injury. I dunno, Reid likely worked him out back when he was coming out of college and might have seen something.

So, you personally would have put Smith back in the lineup after he was medically cleared to return?

I agree

writes a 30 second side article and has no idea what hes talking about.

I don't know if it needs to be reiterated further, but Peter King is a hack. A known hack.

Admittedly i havent watched him play much, other than his big games the past few years. But he does seem to throw a really pretty ball and tight spiral. Ive seen him hit on some deep throws, and miss a few as well....

Riiight.

That's why he's been a writer at S.I. for decades, appears on NBC Sunday Night Countdown and before that, Inside the NFL, plus hosts a show on the NBC Sports channel with Mike Florio during the season.

:rolleyes:

I personally wouldn't have traded a #34 pick for him

That wasn't the question I asked

Hard to say, but I don't think he was very effective because someone kept moving the goalposts...

You're mean... Not sure why you have to run over my puppy and shoot my unicorn...

Jerk face meany guy.

He threw less deep passes than anyone in the league. He threw only 17 deep passes last year and only 36 in all of 2011. People want to say Cassel doesn't throw deep but even he had 34 attempts in 10 games last year.

I am aware. But I didn't watch the 9 ers last year or any other team other than our own abortion, so I guess I don't really know what I would have done.

Just sayin a #34 with another conditional for a player just coming off of a concussion is a bit of a stretch for me.

That's... fine. It's subjective, I suppose.

The way I read it, he got more yards per attempted pass per game than Flacco, and Big Ben and Stafford.

I can't find a single way thats a bad thing. If he threw more passes could that go down? I guess but it sounds like he was effective and was getting his yards in chunks to me.

Its pretty confusing how a guy who really doesnt seem to know football all that well, somehow amasses such an impressive list of contacts who speak very candidly with him.

You'd think that the minute he started trying to talk about the game in front of them, they'd tune him out and vow to never spill anything in his presence... "this guy doesnt know what the hell he's talking about".

To compare two players so totally different?... as you say, a football genius he aint... i'd almost call him a glorified parrot that honcho's around the league go to to get their takes put out there.

As the guy that first brought the phrase "Rainbows and Unicorns" to Chiefsplanet back in 2009, I approve of this message.

The concussion isn't an issue at all for me.

It's whether or not you're getting the guy from 2011-2012 or the guy from 2005-2010.

It is for me now a days with the NFL watching them so closely. I fear another Boss situation in store for us.

All you need to know about Pissoli is from his interview with KK about Peyton Manning.

(Paraphrased)
KK : I would have signed Peyton Manning.
SP: You should be the GM of the Denver Broncos, it would be good for the Chiefs
KK: So you don't think Peyton will be a good QB?
SP: I'd be willing to take bets he won't last, Time will tell.

6 months later SP is fired, lolz and Clark mentions SP inability to get PM in for an interview.

How about the fact that he's only played a full season twice in his career?

Kissingsuzykolber - a masochistic blogger reacts to Peter King's inanity.

An excerpt:

[Peter King article]
d. Watching the blizzard coverage on TV in New York Friday, I was sure thousands would be killed by the crush of snowflakes. Then I woke up Saturday, put on the TV, and saw pretty much the most common thing that happened in the Tri-State Area was that people were going to have to shovel for four hours.
e. We do tend to overreact to weather in this country.

[kissing suzy kolber response]
OH MY GOD **** YOU **** YOU **** YOU **** YOU FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKK YOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU

You’ve been lecturing about the problems of a cold-weather Super Bowl and the elements since the idea was first broached. I can’t believe the lack of self-awareness. This man has to be the biggest troll ever or a total sociopath.

http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/...-each-day.html

That's a good point as well

Actually, Pioli said that KK should be the GM of the Broncos after KK said he would have traded everything for RG3.

Now they both work in broadcasting, but the difference is that Pioli has never been right about the QB position in his life.

This guy is such a ****ing tool it's infuriating.

Seriously look at every move he made in 2009 and tell me a single one that was good.

Considering that Pioli also didn't sign Kyle Orton last year because he was getting paid more than he feels a backup should make by the Cowboys, it's fair to say that he thinks Colquitt and Bowe both got overpaid...

Because he's a kiss ass that makes his sources feel smart. And ***** LOVES a kiss ass.

Hey look. It's Peter King again proving what a dumbass he is.

There's no need to "find a way." Anyone who reads this forum the last 3 days with any kind of attention knows that Alex Smith throws the ball deep less than almost every other QB in the league, including Casshole.

Peter King is a fat reerun.

Imagine how good Bowe might have been if Pioli had given him an actual NFL quarterback............

He put up solid numbers with a group of pissants throwing him the ball. Would love to have ssen what he could have been with a Brady/Brees/Rodgers guy throwing to him.

Why is that? Just because he throws deep less doesn't mean his yards per attempt are bad.

What that stat tells you is he makes the most out of his attempts.

So you have a guy who throws it less than those other guys so he throws it deep less than those other guys but magically he gets more yards out of each attempt. Its likely due to completion % and YAC.

Follow the ways in which Peter King is wrong:

1. Dwayne Bowe is not a deep threat.

2. Alex Smith does not throw the ball deep.

3. His YPA being high means jack.

If Peter King simply read one PFF article he would be more informed.

King usually writes pretty well, but he doesn't seem to understand Bowe's game at all. Not every receiver with a big body plays like Randy Moss.

He constantly writes bullshit that reveals how ignorant he is about the NFL.

He's embarrassing, and he wrote this so he can set up an "I told you so" column if the Chiefs have a losing record this year without Pioli.

I can see it now. "Without Pioli, big signings don't pay off for Chiefs."

I get the Bowe isn't a deep threat thing which actually fits the scenario better anyway.

So what was Flacco and Big Ben's yards per attempt?

Who gives a shit? It has zero relevance to any discussions about Alex Smith. He's inferior to both of them.

It's funny to watch Pioli's water boy attempt to poison the well by calling it a "chemistry experiment", as though these guys are taking risks on Jamarcus Russell and Titus Young.

"The Chiefs will win the AFC West this year."

-Peter King last August.

ROFL

Just as you were at one point.

Now, you're a thinner reerun.

Exactly. Pioli was the ****ing "chemistry experiment" that failed miserably. NOTHING can be as BAD as that. Yes, I said NOTHING.

That phrase sounds like it came directly from Pioli's pie hole

At least I can do a little research and understand the game.

And I don't get PAID TO DO IT. King does.

He's a brutally bad writer.

I don't think he gets paid to research the game. He gets paid to write what he's told.

Generally, his opinions on almost everything are wrong. He always admits it as well, so it's not like he's trying to convince everyone that he's a know-it-all.

After a 2-14 season we shouldn't have done anything we should have just kept playing it out sooner or later we wold have turned the corner. King is just an idiot why even post his comments.

And yet when he writes things like "Dwayne Bowe is a deep threat," he comes off as really ****ing stupid.

There are teenagers who glean their entire knowledge of the NFL from Madden football who are more informed than Peter King.

Distancing themselves from Pioli by emulating Carl Peterson.

still better then *****

King can choke on the same bag of dicks as ****stick.

I wonder if Clark can set down yet? He's probably still going from standing to lying down.

by the end of the Vermile era there were tons of KC jersey's and stickers on cars, here in the valley
now there is me, a kid at my local tobacco shop, and somebody inna blue PT cruiser

they will be back
look at the influx of n00bs lately

but did he tell us about coffee?

useless ****
