You dont become the Chiefs by doing the right thing.

You become the Chiefs by pushing for 9-7 and not screwing up the tailgating experience.

Trading the #1 pick tells you all you need to know about your failing franchise.

Well said.

If we let Albert walk for Joeckel or another LT it will be the clearest indication yet that this organization makes moves based first and foremost on money. That conclusion is, of course,rescinded if we address a meaningful need that makes the team better with the "Albert dollars," but I wouldn't count on it.

These are not the same Chiefs management of past years. They will do the right thing.

There's only 1 glaring need on this team and it's perfectly addressed with the #1 pick.

Anything other than that is unacceptable.

My guess is that is what is happening here now. Shop it to see if there are any takers. Nothing short of a massive haul of draft picks will sway Dorsey and Reid though.

And yes they got those playoffs runs when Rivers was there. So what? It's not like LT was a backup at that point. He was still a main cog of that offense.

LT alone has turned out to be better than Vick. Then you add Brees on top of that? Throw in the towl man. This one is a slam dunk.
