Chiefs the ULTIMATE Jon Runyan thread. (Runyan in KC for a workout...) - Page 4

MMXcalibur · 05:08 PM

This thread is a combination of the following 3 threads...

AUSTINCHIEF- *************************************
ok, I have mentioned before that I would love to see Runyan in KC...

I decided to start my own thread about it... because... well... I can.

So, here are my reasons why...

#1 all the obvious reasons... he is a pro bowler, proven player, definite upgrade, etc etc

#2 another fairly obvious one... Ndukwe would be better used at RG and this would let him move there.

#3 now we get to the good stuff... ON THE FIELD he is a nasty, mean, dirty S.O.B.

#4 OFF THE FIELD, he is a stand up guy, nice etc...

IF he can give us 2 solid years, he is well worth the investment until we can groom someone to replace him... MOST IMPORTANTLY he sets a perfect example of what our linemen of the future should aspire to be.

Runyan is ready to roll

As the regular season approaches, a guy who has been on the field every Sunday since 1997 still doesn't have a job.

But, by all indications, he will soon.

Per a league source, tackle Jon Runyan has been cleared to play after offseason microfracture surgery to repair an injured knee.

We're told that three teams are interested in Runyan. According to the source, Runyan rejected an opportunity to sign a contract last week because he didn't want to play for the team in question.

Oakland Raiders? We're looking at you.

Given the rule that guarantees a vested veteran's salary if he's on the Week One roster, look for Runyan to do a deal after the first games are played.

But if there are multiple teams in the mix, the one that's willing to step up and sign him now could be the one to get him.

Except for the Raiders.

I imagine we're one of the three teams that are interested, but were we the one team Runyan told to "**** off."?

Ryan was better, even as a n00b.
Bowe and White are comparable, but what about #2-3?
Turner. And it's not even close.
Norwood. Closer if Charles would protect the football.
O-line? ATL and not close.

LOL @ "random TE's"...

Turner doesn't really have to do anything to be better than LJ, to be honest.

Johnson has fallen off the cliff is no longer a starting caliber RB in this league.

We should just find some old lady, sign her for the rookie minimum and then push her down to the ground before every snap. The defense would have to at least step over her sobbing body--and that would be a drastic improvment over what we've had on the right side of the line for a couple of years.

I get the sense that alot of free agents won't sign with us because they think the fan base is filled with a bunch of redneck dumb hillbillies. The free agents we do sign are usually over the hill or we overpay.

LJ isn't even close to Michael Turner. Maybe Tina, but not Michael.

Free agent OT Jon Runyan is reportedly working out for the Chiefs Tuesday afternoon.

Runyan (microfracture surgery) recently received full clearance to play in 2009. The veteran is on his last legs, but the Chiefs are desperate to fill their gaping hole at right tackle.
