Put Dorsey's Head On The Chopping Block

Brady is a shell of his old self. Hali and Houston will scare the shit out of him.

We should trade for Pollard for one game to bring back the nightmares

Call him up and see if he'll just stand on the sidelines and stare at Brady the entire game.

Are we ready to admit Dorsey knows what he's doing?

A Smith, Fisher, Kelce and Davis. That's a pretty good draft

[Direckshun]

Developments have been very promising, and I've been very encouraged.

With all of the free agent losses this offseason, along with big projects in Fisher, Davis, Ford, and Gaines, Dorsey had taken some profound risks, and SO FAR, it seems like he's successfully walked the tight rope.

He's got another critical offseason coming up, assuming he survives that long, by ostensibly losing Hali and DJ. If he loses them, as it seems he will, you've just lost the heart of your defense. How will he find a way to patch that up?

He's seemingly successfully replaced Albert, McCluster, TJax, and to a lesser extent, Flowers. Asamoah and Schwartz continue to be big gaps. Now he's going to have to replace the heart of the defense. Is Ford up to it? Where's DJ's replacement going to come from?

I've been very pleased with this season so far, and it's finally looking like the Titans game was a horrendous outlier. I hope the next couple months bear that out.

And yet, the Chiefs are two premier starters down and STILL benched Tom Brady.

Keep in mind I haven't watched the game yet, but it's my belief that we benched him DESPITE DJ's backup playing poorly. Not because of.

JMJ, DJ's replacement, didn't register a single tackle.

That can't fly. The guy's an ILB. The Chiefs will need an heir to DJ.

Edit: Mauga, Mays' replacement, looks to have played very well.

This is true.

It's not generally a good idea to form opinions about games BEFORE you watch them, but at least you're consistent, since you declared that Dorsey might need to be fired before a single down was played this season.

That's what's hilarious about so many of the posters on this site. Alex Smith was declared a bust before he ever played a down for the Chiefs. People were posting about how much they wanted Geno's chocolate penis long before Geno Smith ever played a down in the NFL (which, frankly, is disturbing for many reasons), and people declared Reid and Dorsey a failure BEFORE the team they built ever played a game. They turned a 2-14 team into an 11-5 team in their very first season, and yet you create a thread like this before season #2 even begins.

It's hilarious. It's also pretty goddamn ridiculous.

Hey, I get it: the Chiefs are your passion, and you can't help overanalyzing, micromanaging, and panicking. But until Reid and Dorsey actually give you a reason to doubt them, you might want to stop and think before you call for either of their heads on a chopping block. It just makes you look impulsive and foolish.

Well, a couple things about this.

First of all, the thread was started after the Titans abomination.

Second of all, you may dislike my pre-formed opinion on JMJ's performance on this game, but you didn't disagree with it.

Third of all, my opinion on Smith has been consistent from day one: that he's a dramatically better game manager than Matt Cassel, but that's all he is. That assessment changed after the playoff loss, where Smith looked like a Super Bowl QB. He's looked like that same player for the last three games, and I've praised him accordingly. Nobody has been more transparent about their feelings towards Alex Smith than I am. You're picking on the wrong target.

Fourth, my OP called for Dorsey's head if this ship couldn't turn around by halfway through the season. Re-read it again if you must.

Fifth, Dorsey has definitely done something to deserve skepticism: he selected Eric Fisher #1 overall. Unless Fisher turns into a reliable, Pro Bowl talent, he's going to deserve shit tons of second guessing by skeptical fans. Period.

Cooper was part of the effort in limiting Edelman and Gronk COMBINED to 54 yards.

That's why I think we've successfully replaced Flowers. So far, Chris Owens has performed decently in the slot, and Ron Parker is adequate so long as you don't have to lean on him to start.

Cooper got roasted again for a long gain on a catch and run for 6. I don't think he's part of the solution.

They'll probably hold him up through year three then make a decision.

He's played well enough to be tendered in year 4.

As long as you're always pushing the competition and upgrading, so be it.
