Why do you hate the chiefs?

A "core" that was critical to getting us how many playoff wins exactly?

It's our ****ing core nonetheless.

Cap space can be made if you defer it to future years. It doesn't disappear.

We all have had discussions about how signing a QB like Eli and Flacco is a tough decision because it ruins the ability to build around that QB. Does that argument suddenly change because it's convenient? Or would we agree that you can't just magically make a contract disappear.

Teams like Denver and New England and New Orleans are putting all their eggs in their basket to protect a core that includes Peyton, Brady, and Brees… three unique HOF talents who can single-handedly carry a team to a Super Bowl and each of whom has won at least one.

The Chiefs are putting their eggs into the basket of a RB and a pass rusher who have never won a playoff game.

Umm… yeah. No. Do we overrate our core much?

Wait a minute. Red is the Bloods' colors. I thought he was a Crip. He should have signed with Detroit or Tennessee.

We got Donnie Avery, AJ Jenkins ,Wesson dressler, and slowstep Bowe lol. We got this

what ur saying and what he's saying are 2 different things. Regardless of whatever the Chiefs trying to win the Superbowl the hardest possible way and the core of that way are starting to get up there in age.

With all due respect I think the eggs that the chiefs hold are being put into Alex Smith's basket. 2 number twos, a more than likely contract extension, etc. In terms of the running back who never won a playoff game went out in the first half of the playoff game and was doing just fine. The pass rusher you speak of is a young ascending star.

At what point did he "fall into our lap"? There were a bunch of teams interested, even if we had gone after him there is no guarantee that we would have gotten him. That is a far cry from "falls into our lap".

It's awesome to be a chiefs fan. Next year we can get a long snapper in the first if the cards fall just right.

How about becomes available without trading a 2nd round pick?

Does it feel weird saying we don't got McMidget no more.

That doesn't really answer my question. Jackson in no way fell into our lap. He became a free agent, with as many as 9 teams being interested at various times.

He and anyone pushing for guys like Desean Jackson are basically pushing for the Chiefs to go all in to win now with this core, even if that means a painful rebuild 3 years from now. We keep talking about this core as if we have a bunch of irreplaceable guys. Charles and Hali are really tough guys to lose. Most of the others are borderline pro bowlers and not even close to being the best at their position. I like our core but it isn't nearly as good as people claim it is.
