Andy Reid and his thoughts

[penbrook]

Reid was on 610 sports earlier on today and this is what he had to say.

"I enjoy doing it, so right now I'm not in the frame of mind to do that." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on whether he'd hand over play-calling.

"DJ might be stronger now than at any point in his career. He's living in the weight room." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on Derrick Johnson.

"He knew where everyone was on every snap." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on Alex Smith's progression this season on #TheDayShift.

"I think he'll probably be here.I think Dorse would tell you the same thing." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on Justin Houston's future on #TheDayShift

"I think he did a pretty good job." - #Chiefs Andy Reid on Justin Houston on #TheDayShift.

DJ at even 80% of what he was in 2013 would be worth keeping around. He was borderline All-Pro in a year when Bowman, Willis and Keuchly were all healthy.

Why hold on to an aging vet when you can going young faster etc.

Chiefs always seem to hold on players past their productive prime.

?

I don't remember this lost step.

And who cares if they play a different position?

One would think that being a rush backer by trade the explosiveness potentially lost from an achilles would be more career threatening then being an instinctive run stopper like DJ

Ridiculous.

Will DJ be 80% of the DJ we have known for the last 5 years? Who knows.

To just discount it entirely and ignore the fact I named two different guys who came back both in their 30s and both still excelling?

Typical ChiefsPlanet.

yes!

another year of Josh Muaga and Joe Mays instead of DJ, please!

because 70% DJ isn't still 5 X the player Josh Muaga is or anything

more brilliant insight from our board dumbass reerun

[Easy 6]

While its silly to expect him to do anything but be positive about Alex, that statement is incredibly annoying nonetheless.

Knowing where everyone was sure didnt help him get the ball to them, did it.

P.S. **** you Bob Sutton. You piece of shit. You took not only away from Houston, but you took from the entire Chiefs fanbase. Houston, holding the all-time record for sacks could have been the only thing worth celebrating this off season. But you took that away from us. And all because of your insecurity of your tiny penis syndrome. I hope that during the down time of this off-season, your wife contracts genital herpes during a 5-way gang bang and then passes said herpes on to you. Then, when your spending your entire 2015 season scratching your dick on the sidelines, only then will the fans have their rightful retribution.

We all loved DT, but don't get carried away.

DT wasn't even the greatest Chiefs LB ever.

That distinction goes to Bobby Bell, who is not only the greatest Chief LB ever, but the greastest Chief ever.

I say this as a man whose favorite player ever is Willie Lanier, who would be 2nd on the list of great Chiefs LBs, just ahead of DT.

I love how someone on CP will tear an achilles, or an ACL, or a shoulder and be like, "oh man...that happened to me! No way he's coming back from that!"

and forget that these are WORLD CLASS athletes with WORLD CLASS PHYSICIANS and WORLD CLASS PEDs (let's not be naive here)

Just for the record, I'm not saying that it's impossible for Derrick Johnson to return to 90% or more in less than a year removed from a ruptured Achilles' tendon. He could. But, it's not a certainty or an absolute.

I'm sure that every Chiefs fan holds that hope but to suggest that it's all but certain, especially from a personnel standpoint, could lead to disastrous results in 2015.

[Hootie]

the funny thing is

99 out of 100 people on ChiefsPlanet would take Matt Stafford's 2014 over Alex Smith's

and in my opinion, Matt Stafford on this Chiefs team would have led us to about 5 wins

Oh I hope you don't think I'm suggesting it ... I most definitely am not.

We have a ton of picks and the position needs to be addressed from a depth standpoint with or without Johnson tearing his achilles.

[Hootie]

the funny thing is

Matt Stafford has nothing but weapons around him, including the most gifted WR arguably ever ...

and all he does is post QBR's in the mid 50's, turn the ball over around 22 times a year, and never show up against good teams

grass is always greener, though

If the opportunity to improve said position presents itself, they should take it.

That's a matter of opinion sir. I stick by my original statement. You are welcome to think different.

Matt Stafford sucks.

Is that the same Stafford in the Playoffs?

I would rather watch Stafford brush his hair for hours on end then watch Alex dump off 2 yard passes behind the line when it is 3rd and long.

Hopefully we only have one more year of suffering with this noodle armed, no impact, high paid chump.

[ThaVirus]

Id have taken Stafford over Smith 3 years ago because I thought he could be fixed. Now, it's apparent he's just a douche with a very punchable face that'll always have shitty mechanics.
