JFC.

Goff was good enough to start for a division winner last year. There are some REALLY crappy linemen out there. You act like every team is lining up with a bunch of all-pros.

Yeah, he proved he had hamstring injuries and could only run the ball 67 times.

So? He proved he could make plays. He's not Kolby Smith or Dantrell Savage. The guy has talent and has used it to success on an NFL field. He's a legit backup RB and threat out of the backfield. You're completely minimizing him to NOTHING and that's garbage.

He's proven that he's 36 and may not make the team. To think that a 36 year-old receiver is going to make an impact is tenuous at best.
Who was the last 36 year old receiver in the NFL to make an impact?

Isaac Bruce caught 61 passes last year for the 49ers. Muhsin Muhammad caught 65 for the Panthers. Derrick Mason caught 80 for the Ravens. All these guys are near Engram's age. I'm not saying Engram is gonna catch 60 balls. But can he be a reliable third-down target and catch 35-40 passes this year? I don't see why not. That's an important role. He's definitely proven something.

Pure and utter speculation. First off, they're transitioning from a 4-3 to a 3-4, so there's no comparison to last year.
Secondly, and more importantly, you've just mentioned not one, but TWO ****ing rookies and two guys with more than 13 years in the league are going to make an impact.
Really? ****ing really?

The Chiefs had COMPLETE TRASH on the defensive line last year. They got run the hell over. Magee and Jackson, if they are who Pioli thinks they are, aren't complete trash. Pretty simple.
As far as Thomas and Vrabel, yes, they could get hurt. ANYONE can get hurt. If they stay healthy, they'll improve the run defense, and Vrabel will improve the pass rush. There's no question about that. None at ALL. The Chiefs were bottom of the barrel in those areas last year.
