Yeah, its definitely odd that Johnson was ok for a top pick, but not Charles.

Just goes to show that all of the experts can be completely wrong in spite of their experience... what an inexact science it all is.

I'll give Scott Pioli credit for a few things...one being the ridiculously team friendly contract he signed Charles for. If anyone deserves a raise, it's Jamaal Charles.

I mean, read this shit:

12/11/2010: Signed a six-year, $27.97 million contract. The deal contains $13 million guaranteed, including an $8 million first-year roster bonus and $2 million of his second-year salary. Another $5 million is available through incentives. An annual $250,000 workout bonus is available in years two through six. 2012: $3.25 million, 2013: $1.75 million, 2014: $2.25 million, 2015: $4.75 million, 2016: Free Agent

Compare to Chris Johnson:

9/1/2011: Signed a six-year, $55.26 million contract. The deal contains $30 million guaranteed, including a $20 million signing bonus. 2012: $8 million, 2013: $10 million, 2014-2015: $8 million, 2016: $7 million (+ $2 million roster bonus), 2017: Free Agent

literally...Jamaal Charles, who was probably just as good as Chris Johnson when signing his contract, was signed to a deal worth less than HALF as much as CJ.

He's underpaid. Probably deserves a little bonus.

Yea he really does deserve much more money.

Pioli did one good thing...the players HE DID MANAGE TO KEEP he signed to team friendly contracts...letting Carr walk was inexcusable and possibly being a key reason why Bowe walks negates the positive contracts he worked out for Charles and DJ.

I knew all the losing would eventually turn some of our fan base into reeruns
 

A caller on 610 this morning was trying to say how JC was not the long term solution at RB for the Chiefs. His reasoning was that he is not durable (injury prone and comes out of the game too much), fumbles too much, and runs too straight up and down.........:spock:

Seriously, we have to find these people and extinguish them from the gene pool ASAP.

:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I'd still love to find a good compliment to Jamaal...used like we use Peyton Hillis...just not Peyton Hillis. Someone that is actually...good. Like, you know, maybe the cheaply signed Mike Tolbert that Carolina got. Mike Tolbert >>>>> Peyton Hillis

If only Hillis played consistently like he did last sunday.

ROFL

What were the radio guys' response?

he rubbed me the wrong way all season long

plus he's a fumbler

he can get GTFO

They disagreed, but they didn't bury the guy either. They just let him drone on in his own stupidity. I was amazed.

**** those brokedick "bruiser" backs; those guys are a dying breed these days.

Its not too much to ask to find a guy 225+ with decent speed as well.

Yep, thats what i expected from day one and he has no excuse, the line has run blocked just fine all season.

Flipping the switch in garbage time isnt gonna cut it.
