Everyone yelling about Veach and wishing we still had Ballard apparently missed that Ballard tried to trade for Clark and would have had to give him the same money.
Bitching about giving up what is essentially a 2nd rounder and a 3rd rounder and improving 8 spots in the 3rd and what will probably be 10-12 spots in the second round next year is dumb as ****. |

He has to get in for physical before its pen to paper.

I'm slowly coming around on this trade, solely for the reason that Frank is a proven guy and we have an immediate Super Bowl window. I'm all about building for the long term, but it's been almost 50 years since the Chiefs were in a Super Bowl, so if we want to go all out this year, let's do it. I'm getting old.

When the average guy does stupid shit like that they just pay the consequences. When a professional athlete does stupid shit it ends up a disastrous hullabaloo with the end result usually being a lengthy suspension for PR reasons. I'd just rather not bring in a guy who's already shown propensity for doing said stupid shit, especially considering what the Chiefs have put up with this last year.

This 'load it up and then blow it up' philosophy is a loser mentality. When you have an elite QB, you can build a team for sustainable greatness. But you have to stock up on both sides of the ball before you can move to the 'reload and replace' maintenance phase. The talent level of the defense last year was historically bad. You have to fix that before you talk about running the team as if you are already a dynasty. Clark is a huge step toward that. |

I don't hate the trade so I totally get how huge it is to have frank Clark. But I think I and many others are asking if we could have spent earlier and better or made a more reasonable trade that allows us to get much better while also keeping the picks. It feels like a panic move where we gave up way more than we needed to.

Or what was Seattle's asking price earlier in the offseason that we could have gotten him for? |

It's REALLY bad when you consider the medical history of Andrew Luck. I'd be pushing hard to win now while he's still capable of playing.
