Chiefs Rick Gosselin draft grade: Chiefs get A+ - Page 48

**dirk digler** · 04-25-2010, 08:04 AM

I was pretty down on this draft outside of Berry but maybe I am just stupid.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS GRADE: A+

The Chiefs drafted the NFL defensive rookie of the year in Berry – and a slew of other good players. Arenas was the best returner in the draft, and McCluster will give the AFC matchup problems at both running back and receiver.

In YOUR opinion.

You think Tony Romo is a HOF QB. Sorry if I don't genuflect at your alter.

In MY opinion, two of our picks were amazingly good, one got us a playmaker even though there were playmakers available at positions of greater need, and one got us a KR that people are trying to convince me will be a decent NCB.

Guess we'll find out in a few years.

OTW?

Can you read, Phil?

This isn't about self definition. I know exactly where I stand among the people I know and have allowed into my personal life.

This is about being slandered, and expecting people to stand by their statements.

I don't understand why this is so hard to understand.

Hey, and let's be clear about one thing: None of us really know the outcome of this draft.

While I'm happy today, 4/25/2010, it's possible that I'm as wrong as Tony "I just came in my sister again" Washington on 4/25/2013.

Hootie · 04-25-2010, 10:35 PM

I think Tony Romo is a HOF caliber QB...we'll see how it plays out...

Hamas said Tony Romo was among the worst QB's in the NFL.

...

you guys...

I know why I get to you so easily...it's because I'm always so much righter than you...

Whether it's Romo, or Palmer, or Manning, or Brady...

Sorry bra!

I'm a dude that watched you get banned and not take it, I'm also a dude that watched you make a total fool of yourself for the first 3 years you posted.

I lost my post count for some reason but don't really care why, because unlike you I actually have a life.

I guess this fan base has decided since it hasn't won a Super Bowl in 40 years, 5 more is no big deal. That's not good enough for me. Not that my opinion means shit anyways.

True. I agree with that.

Also, I think the GM has to be a really good gun slinger. I think the GM needs to score a lot. Missing is no good. I think its pure hit and miss.

If you're a bad team drafting in the top 5 two years in a row and you miss on those picks you are in deep trouble because it's those picks that are the differential makers that either set your team back or make your team go forward.

Im part of that fanbase where I've been patient but just willing to hang in there from time to time. If it takes them 3 years great, if it takes them 5, Im cool with that too. As a fan, the most important thing Im always keeping in mind, is, progress. As long as my team is making strides thats what counts. Sometimes it takes long, sometimes it doesn't. But it's the patience that plays an integral role in that sense. The frustration kicks in when I see my team regressing....Herman *cough* Edwards *cough*

And I understand the Super Bowl argument. But I'm saying that a team should be competing in the playoffs by the 3rd year, not making the Super Bowl. I didn't clarify that, and I should have. 5 years for a title is fine. But I don't expect a team to make the playoffs for the first time in a rebuild and win the Super Bowl in the same year. That's a tough thing to do.

But again, go back and look at how few teams achieve the goal that you think is a "should". It almost never happens. When a team gets down to 1-3 wins, it's usually because they really, really suck and have little to no talent. Making it even more difficult, free agency doesn't produce the number of quality players it used to, because the huge jump in the salary cap made cap casualties essentially a thing of the past. Hell, it was even worse this year, with the CBA language limiting free agency even more than usual.

If I were a Chiefs fan, I'd be looking for improvement this season, and not looking for hard win totals of any kind until next season. After all, your notion of the playoffs means that the Chiefs will have to get past some number of the following:

Chargers
Broncos
Patriots
Jets
Ravens
Steelers
Bengals

in order to get there. Out of those teams, do you really see any way that the Chiefs will so quickly overtake the talent on any of those rosters other than the Bengals, who were probably a fluke destined to miss the playoffs this year before Roethlisberger went clubbing?

Hootie · 04-25-2010, 10:36 PM

the Bengals are probably a 5 win team...

Hootie · 04-25-2010, 10:37 PM

Steelers don't scare me, Jets are overrated...

I like the Texans next year...

Lets see...

Chargers
Patriots
Colts
Ravens
Texans
Titans

Those are my playoff teams.

Excuse me?

I've never been banned in my 5 years here. Nor have I not honored a bet.

What is it with people making shit up this evening?

I guess I missed the slandering......I read you slandering but besides that I'm at a loss.

Hootie · 04-25-2010, 10:38 PM

the Colts are going to have a tough, tough schedule...

I'm thinking next year could actually be the Chargers year to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

You may be the stupidest person on this site. I wasn't owned, because I was correct. I didn't back away, either. I waited for some time before leaving the site, but I had things to do and couldn't wait all day for Deez to try spinning his boneheaded comment yet another time.
