Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Early Winners in Offseaon - Page 4

Heard this from now almost everyone associated with ESPN and some guy from NFL Network. Cant provide any links because they were all on live TV. So this leads to ask ... "Why are the (experts) all saying we have the best offseaon, but the (fans) think its almost as bad as 2009?"

CHECKMATE BITCH

Or 2008 for that matter.....But the general consensus appears to be that Cassel is descending, and Smith is Ascending....

Who knows?

Apparently everyone except Dorsey and Reid.

that will work too

Not much of a tea party has been happening for Smith and Daniel.

one can only fuss about something they have control over

I think in this case people have to decide, KC fan....yes or no

all of that went over like a wet fart real quick, but it was a whole spring/summer of that garbage.

I will say this time the FAs they signed this offseason pale in comparison and should not be held to the same standard for two reasons
A) All of them have consistent production at what they do even if their skillsets are 1 dimensional and their ceilings are capped.
B) All of them are not "acquired by association" meaning this new regime doesnt have an elitist pool of only 25 players they will sign because of coaching connections and stupid trees of craptastic shit coaches like our prior fail of a GM.

so the FAs are better, and better in the sense that none of them are good enough to get you 1000 yards at anything or even 4 sacks. So you cant have those type of homeristic projections and tend to have to be realistic about what they will do, and thus you will get realistic results. Dunta Robinson will not be Brandon Carr, and probably cant even beat out Javier Arenas, but he will still contribute, more than Stanford Disroutt ever did, and that alone is an upgrade.

I'd bet my left ass cheek if Cassell would have very similar numbers to Alice with Andy Reid at the helm.

I found it amazing that the KC GM assembled a coaching staff that quickly made those predictions BS.

Wrong. The mentality is we gave up the #34 pick in the draft for someone who couldn't hold his job, and has had injury issues, including the concussion that benched him last year. One more, and he could be placed on IR. Plus, we have to pay a BACKUP $8.5 million this year.

It was time for him to go, but let's not pretend like Alice and Matty's number given the same circumstances are likely significantly different.

You would make a good wife. Keep giving the BJs or get a divorce.

So now anyone that does not believe the Chiefs made poor decisions this offseason are "True Fans?

If so, **** you and everyone that thinks like you. Have fun being a miserable ****.
