Chiefs Track Dee Ford's Trillions - Page 5

The Trillion is a quasi-stat originating from basketball. Grantland writer, and former tOSU benchwarmer, Mark Titus is most famously associated with the stat, but I remember reading about it in SI more than 15 years ago.

Here's how it works: if a player gets into a game and accrues no stats, his stat sheet will read with his minutes played followed by 12 zeros, thus a trillion. Many scrubs have been known to accrue fouls just to avoid the Trillion.

I believe that Dee Ford has been active for every game this season. If that is the case, he has 12 games played, He has accrued stats in two of them. That means that in 10/12 games, Dee has racked up the ignominious stat.

Thus, I propose that we give Dee Ford a new nickname: National Debt.

I agree but as we've seen, Dorsey likes taking high potential players rd 1 and developing them for the long run. That's why I'm going to be pissed if Fisher isn't looking like a top 10 caliber LT next season.

As for Ford, he's taking over next season. Tamba is gone. He's got the 2nd highest contract for a 3-4 OLB and he's got 5 sacks in 12 games. That's not worth the price he's getting.

Right, that money goes to Poe, who has 4 sacks in a much harder position to get sacks. Ford needs to produce, that's the bottom line.

In fairness he's borderline reeruned so back off.
