You've said that you never overrate Chiefs players, which is just absolute bullshit. Looking at the secondary alone, one can find examples of Nelson, Gaines, and Russell, among others. You were probably one of the last holdouts on Mike Catapano for ****'s sake.
You talk now about how bad Sutton was once Spagnuolo is on board, but in November you were making fun of people for stating that the defense was bad. You claimed that Sutton could scheme his way out of problems, then blamed him for an inability to adjust only after he was fired.
Regarding Nelson: You've been routinely overrating him for years because you're unable to admit that you're wrong about him. You crowed about him being a nickel corner (Narrator: he wasn't), talked about him having good/solid years (he didn't).
Just admit that you see everything through rose-colored glasses and it would be a hell of a lot easier to respect you.
Regarding Gase: you claimed that the got the most out of Tannehill (false, go look at his stats) and that Cutler had the best QBR of his career under Gase (which was also false, it was never higher than his fifth best).

I’m such a homer that I picked the Chargers to win the division this year.
I never once said Sutton was great or anything. I liked him because he did a good job early on, but after a second year of this shit it’s hard to defend. I’ve already said I still believe the problem was talent for the most part. I don’t believe I’ve even commented much on his adjustments the past couple years outside of the game because it was so blatantly bad. All I’ve said is that after another playoff loss like we had, he had to go. His defense has grown stale and it’s clearly time for a change.
I think Spags is an upgrade, and he clearly is. I didn’t say it was tremendous and I didn’t say he alone will fix everything. We need talent just as much as we would’ve if Sutton wasn’t fired or we hired somebody else.
If I’m guilty of anything when it comes to players, it’s being bullish on prospects I liked coming out because I don’t like to be wrong. I take a lot of pride in my eye for talent. Gaines, Nelson, Catapano, etc. are guys I liked as prospects. The fact that they were on my team might add a little to that, but that’s the context you’re missing about me.
You only see what I’m wrong about though. Since you like digging up old shit go back and look at how much I pimped guys like Chris Jones, Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce before the draft. I was one of the few left defending Ford till this year because I liked him also.
When it comes to evaluating talent we all swing and miss, though I’d argue that Nelson for a 3rd rounder is hardly a huge miss with the second contract he’s about to get. You guys can laugh all you want, but he still wasn’t that bad at all this year when you look at how much he was targeted, completion % against, and QBR. The guy was playing on an island and basically our #1 corner. We asked way too much of him. If we had a legit #1 he would’ve been a nice corner to have on a rookie deal this year.
Do I almost always lean on the optimistic side of all things Chiefs? Yes absolutely, but that’s just a matter of philosophy more than anything. I can’t believe how many people spend all this time talking about a team that makes them miserable. I’ve been through so much heartbreak as a fan in general that I’m not scared to be disappointed.
As for Gase, you’re being completely moronic and completely ignoring context like you continuously do when it doesn’t fit your argument. Tannehill never once played more than 13 games under Gase (he was out 50 ****ing % of the time dude seriously), he missed an entire season one year, and it’s not fair to make those comparisons based on stats that really aren’t THAT far off. The bottom line is the one year Tannehill at least played 13 the Dolphins were 10-6 and made the playoffs despite being in Brady/BB’s division.
All of this context has already been laid out for you but you won’t acknowledge that it’s legitimate because you’re an unreasonable person. What have I said that unreasonable about Sutton, Nelson, Spags, anybody? You know what’s unreasonable? Calling Spags an “atrocious” hire then naming John Pagano as the first experienced guy on your list. Stupid ****.
