Comparing Gaither to Roaf ?

Gaither hasn't been in the league long enough 'except' to show he is soft too often in a short amount of time so far. Roaf played plenty long enough in between his long spread out 2 injuries to be a ProBowler damn near every year in spite of his injuries.

Respectfully disagree

Seems to me , that when they are listed as questionable.

More times than not they play. Unless they need the roster spot for another position.

Roaf fully recovered from his potentially career-ending injury.

And yet HOW many times did he miss games from 2002-2005? Too many. I still have nightmares of Jordan Black filling in for half a season in 2005.

There are some guys that just get injured a lot. In Gaither's case, he's only been injured once, but he's still recovering and rehabilitating. That doesn't make him soft.

Why would Balt let him get away if he is that talented then? It's very difficult to get rid of "soft" and that is why they didn't try to retain him IMO.

Sadly, Richardson is making me long for the return of I-65

Geez, Breaston with a hammy issue? Hope that doesn't flare up during the game or Cassel will have even less weapons that he had last year with no Mo, Baldwin & Breaston.

Now the thing with the Raiders... who knows. Maybe they were right. Or maybe they're ****ing idiots.

Personally, I find it easier to believe that they're the ones with the ****ing idiots assessing Gaither's NFL future, not us.

It could also just be philosophy or arrogance. Obviously the Chiefs think he's worth the roster spot because even at whatever % he at right now he better than anyone out there, with PB talent if he is healthy.

I cant see only one backup, and a rookie none the less, as the only backup on the inside for all 16 games. More than the different approach to the offseason I think this might be the Chiefs biggest area for concern during the season.
