Discuss...

Yeah, but how did they handle being 1-4?

So what are you saying? That Eric Hicks isn't any good or something? Crazy talk...

Maybe we should see if someone wants to trade him.

hmm....maybe some team will trade the Chiefs thier first round pick for Hicks. :hmmm: :)

Someone give this man some steak and lobster.

Well, I'm not saying anything that most people don't already know. I've been saying for years that Hicks was terrible. But I guess just having some stats all lined up does two things:
1) confirms that Hicks is easily replaced- Hali starts from day one
2) gives us a reasonable idea of what to expect out of Hali in his first year.

Hicks is a fatass, piece of shit.

*end of thread

Discuss what? Ware looks like he had a good year the rest stink.

I heard Rich Scanlon is going to replace Eric Hicks and shatter all the NFL's records on his path to Super Bowl glory.

I heard that rich was a linebacker. ROFL

I don't think three years of drafts is a good indicator.

If you are trying to point out we can expect no more from a Rookie than we have gotten recently from Hicks statistically, I would agree. If you are trying to use the stats to justify Hicks continuing to start then I disagree. Hicks has no upside, a rookie will have the upside of youth and potential.

If that is the case just ignore my earlier post.

I heard that you were too big of a noob to realize this is a standing joke here
