What Chief, in the Vermiel era, were you the most WRONG about?

Kylo Ren · 08-12-2005, 10:21 AM

This BB was about 50/50 on Dante Hall in 2001. Most doubted TrInt Green. Many thought Priest would be no more than a 3rd down RB. Who was better than you thought? Who was worse than you thought? Who were you the most wrong about?

Here are a few names:
Dan Williams
Jonnie Morton
Ryan Sims
Larry Johnson
Eddie Kennison
Casey Weigman
John Wellbourn
William Bartee
Julian Battle

Please treat this like an AA meeting. Step up the the mic, clear your throat and say: "Hi, my name is _________ and I was totally wrong about _________. " Then explain. Thanks.

So far, Sims. Out of that year's group of 1st-round DT's, I liked him the best. I wanted the Chiefs to get him, and I fully supported trading up to nab him. Obviously, he hasn't been worth the pick. Hope he finally proves me right this year.

Hammock Parties · 08-12-2005, 10:25 AM

Sims for sure. I was stoked when we picked him.

I will tell you who I was totally right about. I was right about Gunther Fan being totally ghey.

Larry Johnson. I was sure the guy was worthless right up until he smacked me in the face with his talent and put up those numbers at the end of last year. Now I'm hyped on the guy, he's good, and I was 100 percent W R O N G.

edit: It's going to be interesting seeing whether people choose to have been wrong about liking someone or wrong about hating someone.

I thought we should have drafted Nate Kaeding. I was wrong.

Im with this guy. And I thought Bartee was showing signs of turning it around.

I was most wrong about TrINT...

I just hated how D.V. defended him (much like he does Eric Hicks now) when iot was obvious that he was sucking ass year 1. I remember D.V. once offered up the wind as an excuse...

When you say "it", are you talking about his head? No, he never showed signs of turning "it" around.

Me to!

Are we just excluding Dante Hall because that's what everyone but Bob will put down?

Dante Hall is #1 on my list followed by LJ. I was always a Green supporter.

I also remember when Priest sucked those first two games of DV's first year. Then he broke it out against Washington, so I would say that's too short to say I'm wrong about a player.

Kylo Ren · 08-12-2005, 10:35 AM

Hi, I'm Gunther_Fan (at this point and time), and I was wrong about Dante Hall. He doesn't SUCK as a WR/KR/PR/RB as I thought he would.

There's a zillion of you guys who should ditto this! I remember that I wasn't alone on this bandwagon.

KChiefs1 · 08-12-2005, 10:38 AM

Draft Picks For different reasons:
Ryan Sims & Larry Johnson, one because I thought he was going to be the next Warren Sapp & the other because I didn't want a Penn St RB in the first round when we needed defense. One has turned out to be a turd & the other showed last season that he can be a very productive RB.
