Another were initial reports from training camp, where sources reported that he was having a great deal of trouble with speed rushers.

#2) Any Chiefs fan should know that Pro Bowls are far more about name recognition than skill. Look at Brian Waters the last 3 years without Roaf. He's a mediocre guard, and yet he's made several trips to Hawaii. Roy Williams playing for the Cowboys is why he made the Pro Bowl. If Roy Williams played for the Bucs, no one would know him. He's the ****ing Jason Sehorn of safeties.

#3) Saying that you would make a different decision does not equate to saying that you automatically know more about every situation and decision. I know that helps with your slippery slope fallacy, but it doesn't square with reality.

#1 Statement without facts = opinion.. I am fine with you having your opinions but you treat them as fact and that doesn't work unless you produce data. Not just your assertions.

#2 I actually agree that name recognition plays FAR to big of a role. BUT you don't get to the probowl if you are an incompent LT that can only play RT (maybe) in the NFL... that was what I was told...

#3 I seriously botched the wording on most of this argument.. it is more about your attitude towards people that don't agree... as if they have NO knowledge base worth acknowledging. My bad, I made that about as clear as mud.
