Something tells me he has less than stellar memories of his time in KC.

Call it a hunch.

And now I know why they call you 'Claynus.' It's because you post some truly stupid shit.

You're incorrect about the production. Go look at the numbers of each of the guys I listed. Palmer was having a tremendous year before getting hurt and out-performing Smith in most of the key areas. Orton and Fitzpatrick also had very strong seasons. Fitz was a little better than Alex Smith (With a better 1-2 punch in Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins than Bowe and Kelce). Orton was a little worse (with Sammy Watkins and very little else around him).

"Intangibles" is the most overrated/overused buzzphrase in sports. The guys the media talk about having great intangibles or being great clubhouse guys rarely are (Mike Moustakas is a great example of this, actually). So I pay no real attention to the concept of "intangibles."

Oh, and no one calls me "Claynus," Your and idiot. Go look at the name next to my posts again.
