A glorious Carl-like era of consistent winning with no postseason success.

That's better than the Chiefs in the last 5 years, though.

Something else I've learned - better yet, confirmed - in this thread:

This fanbase has no ****ing clue how the salary cap works.

What are you talking about chiefs are 16.4M under the cap and that's with Bowe's 9.5M.


Next year Key FA Albert and Dorsey.

2014 The cap is going up big time with the new TV deals.

It's not like we have a lot of glaring holes to fill.

Just one glaring hole. Long snapper

Mythical cap hell? A playoff win within the last three years?

And this isn't "going out" and signing a random FA. This is rewarding one of the most successful draft picks this organization has had in a very long time and one of the best WRs ever to play for the Chiefs.

Let's be honest - a big reason the Cowboys have been stuck in neutral?

The Patriot Way.

Ok. So you pay him what he's worth. Just because he's one of the best WRs to ever play for the Chiefs doesn't mean you pay him what Fitzgerald got.

Jerry had the sense to fire that "by the book," overrated-since-the-Giants douche after 4 years and 0 playoff wins.

Can only hope Clark is as smart.

O.city 07-18-2012 05:04 PM

Who cares if he gets what Fitz got. Is he as good as Fitz? Maybe Maybe not.



But he's Fitz level money important to the success of our team, which is all that matters in a situation like this.

You've apparently missed the "cap hell" debates in this thread.

Indeed. It moved to Miami, where it wasted a few more years and several more millions of dollars and produced squat.

It doesn't matter. It had nothing to do with anything.

Here's what matters, which I've said repeatedly and at last check stands unchallenged: Bowe has been the league 5 years and has 1 great season to his credit. That's not an elite player.

Tell me why that's wrong. Anyone. Tell me why the only people in the world suggesting that Bowe is an elite player are Chiefs homers who constantly overrate their own players and/or people who want to drum up outrage at Scott Pioli.
