Maybe Johnnie Morton was better than everyone thought.

There have been a few drops by Parker that may have extended drives. Morton, for the most part, had pretty good hands. He was pretty good about keeping drives alive even if he didn't put up fantastic numbers. I'm wondering if the Chiefs really miss him right now.

Yep. We miss him, as much as I hate to say it. He was nails on third down last year.

RedThat · 10-03-2005, 08:33 AM

Morton play last year definately outweighs Sammie Parkers performance this year. Never thought Id say this, but, miss Johnnie Morton.

Any idea when we can expect this to occur?

Johnnie Morton isn't better than anyone thought. He's just better than Samie Parker.

All the same, he wasn't worth 5 million per year.

Better or worse, it was the right call to give Morton the boot. Sooner or later, the Chiefs are going to have to develop their own players.

Which year, 2007 or 2008?

StcChief · 10-03-2005, 08:47 AM

He will come around or be gone.

The year after we release or trade him.

I agree that Morton is/was better than Parker, but I'm still glad that he's gone. Our mistake--just like when we let Donnie Edwards go--is that we didn't replace him with a player of equal talent.

I expect us to sign FredEx over the bye, and he will work his way into the starting lineup before it's all said and done.
