Time to eat the crow..

[BigRedChief]

This is a big issue in America. Diminishing goals. Since we sat on our hands last season and did nothing it seems since we are doing something this off season that is good. I say thats normal, not good. Was it some secret that we needed LB and CB help? After last year they had no choice, no one left to blame.

But the bottom line is that we are a much better football team with Surtain on our defense than we are with Bartee over there. Probably a win or two right there with Bartee on the sidelines.

[Sure-Oz]

Im right there with you Frank, i was unsure if these deal would get done, im glad Carl proved us wrong, im looking forward to draft day now!

[Chiefs Pantalones]

I knew we'd get Surtain, so I don't have to eat any crow.

I'll eat my crow if we win a Super Bowl under the current front office.

[Otter]

I'll eat crow when he wins a playoff game.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

If Carlos Rogers is there, we should still take him, IMO.

Guys,

I'm not giving him any pass for the season. I'm giving him a pass on putting a "complete" team on the field. He's added 2 members of the Dolphins top ranked pass D, which was our biggest weakness.

He added an injury-riddled Bell, but he's a top 5 LB when healthy.

But this is the first time he's added top-flight defensive talent since Vermeil got here. We have the offense, and now we have weapons for defense.

Carl is terribly average, but he got something done that I didn't expect.

I give him credit for that.

Dr. Van Halen, if you don't agree with my takes then you must be a terribly misinformed football fan.

But I said this year, the year ends December 31st and the playoffs didn't start yet.

I blamed your inability to sign quality FAs, get players to upgrade a defense, your horrible drafts and the fact that you haven't won a playoff game in 12 years.

But today, I will take back two of the things I said. I didn't think you could get a Surtain deal done because of your ego.

I'm happy to admit I was wrong.

It's been roughly 12 hours since I last bashed you and unless you draft a TE, guard, running back of DT in the first round tomorrow, I won't bash you again this year, but please win a playoff game.

When I woke up today, I honestly didn't expect a deal to get done. I didn't expect to see Len Passthepasta, Clark Judge, or any other internet reporters say a deal was done.

Tomorrow I will go to the draft with smiles, hopes, and my custom made (with masking tape) #23 Patrick Surtain jersey. It's been a long time that we've had someone good in our secondary.

Now our defense has a chance.

Thank you Carl.

Signed,

Frank
former leader of the anti-Carl Peterson clan.

let's look at what led up to the signing.

1. whitlock putting him on front street in the press conference.
2. keitzman putting him on front street.
3. whitlock's article in the paper.
4. the near mutiny of fans
5. 95%
6.95%
7. 95%

you guys should call in to the radio shows more often.

if 1 through 5 didnt happen, there would be no surtain in k.c..

be happy for the signing, but not the reason.

you dont owe any crow.

I have to amend my offseason free agency/trade grade from an F to an A-.

There. Bingo. This kind of post is what I'm talking about. The bizarre audacity to even think that Whitlock and Keitzman get the credit for the Surtain deal!

You guys should call into the radio shows more often!!!!! Wow! People who call in to sports radio shows have ZERO influence on what happens in sports. Seriously. To think otherwise is delusional. In fact, I think many rational people here would agree that once you cross that line and actualy call in you LOSE credibility and become an instant wacko.

[DeepSouth]

The Chiefs have definitely put themselves in a position where they can draft the "Best Available Athelete". Offense or Defense. Except for one LB position, most of the starters are set.

He just went from queen back to King Carl. I am impressed.
