Replacing Gonzalez proving to be a chore in K.C.
Posted July 11, 2009 @ 6:50 p.m.
By Michael Blunda

Nobody in the Chiefs' organization thought it would be easy to replace departed TE Tony Gonzalez, a 10-time Pro Bowler and surefire Hall of Famer, but they probably didn’t think it would be this difficult, either. In one of the more surprising developments of the team’s recent minicamp, head coach Todd Haley declared the competition for the starting tight end job wide open, dispelling the widely believed thought that the spot belonged to Brad Cottam. From what we hear, Cottam, a 2008 third-round pick by the Chiefs and the favorite to capture the job, struggled mightily during offseason workouts, frequently dropping catchable passes. His failure to seize the opportunity has opened the door for others — like veterans Sean Ryan and Tony Curtis and seventh-round rookie Jake O’Connell — to enter the mix for starting duties. Although the Chiefs aren’t expected to utilize their tight ends as receivers very often, the offense would be lacking without a skilled pass catcher at that spot. Thus far, Cottam has “dropped the ball.”

So why do you want to stick with the philosphy of the tight end is important to an offense?

1. You can't replace the best TE in the history of the NFL. The premise is dumb.

2. You don't build teams around a TE...unless, you're Carl Peterson and you're a stupid asshole and a failure. TE's are generally finishing pieces. If you have one great, if not, you can always draft one next year.

And trading Tony for a 2nd next year is the best thing Pioli has done since becoming GM. That pick will have incredible value for us next year when Haley and Pioli will have a much clearer idea about what our needs are, plus the pick gives us leverage to move up and down.

It will be rare for TE's to see more than one pass come their way under Haley.

Right out of the PFW handbook: taking something somebody said over a month ago (Haley's shocking statement that there will be competition) and trying to turn it into "news".

heh. Chiefs fans will be complaining for years how we need a Superstar TE again. Even if we win the next 3 ships in a row, they will still complain. I cant wait.

I'd rather focus on drafting a star WR than TE. Actually I'd rather get a star QB, RB, OT, OG, C, DE, NT, OLB, ILB, S, CB before I worry about getting a star TE.

Yea. I think Pioli drafted the franchise NT & DE this draft. If so this draft was a success.
