Absolutely not.
James Harrison. Michael Strahan. Dwight Freeney. Joey Porter. What do they all have in common? Oh yeah, franchise pass rushers. And all Super Bowl winners. Go back to the 90's with Charles Haley, who rushed the passer for the 49ers and Cowboys. If you're going to win a Super Bowl in today's NFL, you need a franchise pass rusher, period. A franchise left tackle is optional. |

In a playmaker's league, DE has become the 2nd most important position on the field.
The Chiefs D went from being roughly average to being a laughinstock, one of the 2 worst in the league, despite upgrading or staying the same at every position that wasn't Jared Allen. Did nobody see last season? And yet they still want to undervalue a franchise DE? We were worse off for this deal. Did we lose it? Well not really b/c our ****wit GM forced us to do it and we did as well as you have any right to hope for. However, all that did was mitigate the damage. Anyone arguing otherwise really does just look like a homer. P.S. It's also pretty critical to remember that most folks had the Chiefs taking Albert at the 5 if they didn't get that deal done. So if you consider the trade Allen for Dorsey, it looks WAY shitter and probably more accurate than Allen for Albert. Don't try to polish this turd, fellas. You'll just get your hands dirty. |

Good, young left tackles just aren't as scarce as in recent years. |
