Pitt Gorilla, are you doing okay?

[RealSNR]

It not like you didn't debate people before, but you just seemed like a much happier person in the past. You had the tendency to think the best of situations and look on the bright side.

Everything is doom and gloom these days with you, though. Veach sucks... we're not addressing the secondary... defense isn't going to be good enough... Chiefs offense isn't going to be as good without Kareem Hunt around... Clark Hunt is an idiot who only cares about butts in seats and his public reputation...

Something change? You can talk about it. Or not. We're strangers on the internet, and you certainly don't have to open up. Just saying that we're here to listen, man.

At the very least, we don't want to see you be a dipshit like OKChiefs.

Thanks for asking. I think that’s a pretty fair assessment, really.

The Chiefs cutting Hunt changed my perception of the organization, especially Veach. I don’t wish to rehash the whole thing, but he gave away a somewhat valuable asset for absolutely nothing. There was no league-mandated deadline to act hastily, yet he did. That act, perhaps, caused me to more critically re-examine my “Chiefs assessment lens” and adjust it a little downward from the expectation that a they were competently focused on winning.

Of course, coming to the realization that my fellow fans were similarly not-as-interested in winning as I had assumed likely played a role as well (see: cut Hill poll and Berry is awesome threads.). I should probably keep in mind that my view is, evidently, shaped a little more by analytics and a little less by emotion. At the same time, if that view is causing me to react more emotionally negative on the board, it may not, ultimately, appear/prove that different.

Outside of Chief Fandom, though, my life is really, really great. I should perhaps take note and strive to be a bit more positive on here. Or not, as I doubt anyone other than your kind soul GAF.

I’m sure there are others that GAF, but the list is probably very short.

As it should be! I should probably here and drink flaming aids-tree rendered antifreeze.

Now you are fully back.

I don’t even have a Camaro, bald head, or goatee. In fact, I choose not to have those things. It’s like, how’s that guy even a fan?

[Sassy Squatch]

Wait, why is Veach at fault for that? That seems like it was a Reid/Clark decision.

At best, he tacitly agreed and he's the GM.

[Prison Bitch]

I agree with Pitt.

[In58men]

Different situation, I bet Clark didn’t like the fact that Kareem was trying to bullshit him. I mean, what do you expect a boss to do to an employee when caught lying about it? Especially something this serious?

I feel like Tyreek has been honest and open about the entire situation. That’s why he’s still employed. If Tyreek was lying, he would be gone a long time ago.

I was on a phone at the gym earlier, so I'll address these a little more carefully.

1) I'm more critical of Veach than I used to be, based on my previously-noted reasoning. That doesn't mean all of his moves are bad, such as getting Frank Clark. I do, however, wish we still had a guy like Dorsey (or maybe even Ballard) in charge.

2) I like the safeties and our young corners. Never wanted Peterson, so I'm good there. Don't know enough about Breeland, other than his ankle (or something) had a toothpaste-like consistency in the recent past.

3) Defense should be better and I like the coaches/pieces, for the most part. I'll never understand the Hitchens contract, but I don't think I'm meant to. Love Nnadi and the rest of the D-line, though.

4) Chiefs offense will be fine, assuming Veach doesn't go all Chief Fan and dump Hill out of the blue.

5) Clark Hunt is an idiot who only (mostly) cares about butts in seats and his public reputation. I'm not sure that is arguable at this point.

I think Clark could have ****ed off and kept the **** out of the situation. Then again, not really my business, I suppose.

You’d rather have Ballard in charge?



The guy that has a ton of cap room despite having a big QB contract on the books (which will get even bigger sooner than later) and has chosen to do absolutely nothing with it? The Colts needed to get a hell of a lot better than us, yet Veach did MUCH more with less this offseason.

Say what you want about Veach, but I’ll take an aggressive GM over a passive one every single day. I truly loved Dorsey, but after the offseason Veach just had, I’m not even so sure I’d take him over Veach either.

Veach is young and he’s still got some learning to do, but what this guy has done with this defense in one offseason is amazing and he should be getting a lot more praise than he has for it.
