He will be. But you have to give people time to get over this potential loss and move on.

That guy thinks that because he's standing 50 yards away from the people who actually MATTER both within and without the organization, that he's somehow "in the group" and must protect clowns like Pryor at all costs.
He's a passive-aggressive, neck-bearded ****, and one of the very few people on this site that I legitimately detest.

You have to think he's earned it at this point, especially outside the QB position. His choices for play makers, for guys who can get the ball in their hands and produce, have been as good or better than anyone else in the league.
One thing that I haven't seen anyone here take in to account is that for all of the grousing about 40 times and who may have been a "better pick to win now", what about all of the other elements that it takes to be successful in Reid's offense and in the NFL in general?
It's obvious that several teams wanted this kid and were burning up the Chiefs phone at the opportunity to grab him, so it's not like he's a "maybe" in the talent dept. Maybe the other receivers available didn't have the particular game we were looking for. Maybe some of them didn't possess the mental acuity necessary to master the Chinese Phone Book. Who knows? The point is, there's more to this than what we see on YT videos and combine workouts. I'm starting to see that it's almost more important to find right kind of player for the team as it is to find the most gifted. Obviously, you want those two attributes to collide, but that's not always going to be the case. And after what we've endured the last two seasons, I'll take some productive stability over an extended fireworks display.
We have the best QB in the league and a coach who knows how to use him. Don't ever forget that. And even though our mindset and strategy is to go all out and "win now", you need to keep in mind that the offense is still in a state of refinement and the defense is in first year changeover and will take time to develop. Temper expectations accordingly.
