Absolutely. The guy has just 6 starts under his belt, and clearly got bigger this offseason. He will definitely get better.

Kelce, Peters, Howard, Gaines, Jones, Murray, Fisher, Nelson, Parker, Morse, March.

Those are the unknowns that I've hyped up to some level or another over the past few years. Some haven't gotten their opportunity, some have had injuries, and some were spot on. I'm right more often than not though.

The problem is, any time I have anything remotely positive to say about a guy that isn't proven, I'm immediately labeled a homer that thinks he's going to be a Pro Bowler/HOF when I never said such a thing.

Take Nelson for example, all offseason I said he could take the nickel spot and be a solid player there, but since he didn't do shit his entire rookie year I was labeled a homer. Here we are now and Nelson currently has the nickel spot and has been impressing ever since OTA's.

What some of you don't realize is that I actually watch these guys a ton going into the draft, and after, so I am not just pulling my takes on them out of my ass. I'm just not scared to evaluate players before I see them in the NFL.

Dude, COME ON!!! I agree with a lot of your takes, and it's not a knock on your intelligence, but you absolutely 100% are a homer. Now I know that term is usually meant to be an insult, but in this case it isn't meant to be that harsh. It's just pointing out that you see basically everything for KC to be rosy. The refs hate us, or there are 10 excuses for why somebody hasn't panned out.

Every guy is going to reach his potential in your mind and everything is going to go wrong for our rivals. You were ripping SD for taking Bosa saying he wouldn't fit in their scheme. You know that even if he didn't fit in KC's scheme, you absolutely would be singing KC's praises for taking him.

This is what annoys me reading your posts. If you just admitted who you are, it would be so much easier to see the intelligence in your evaluations and not just be sitting here in astonishment that you don't hear yourself. You are a good guy for this board, but just acknowledge what is happening here. Although perhaps you could pat yourself on the back a little less when you are right. If you go find 40 random posts of yours, how many aren't predicting best case scenarios or are pointing out that you were right about something. Hell, the post I just quoted has both of those things, per usual.

I don't overrate the Chiefs or any of our players. I use the world "could" instead of "will" when talking about unproven players. I just choose to look at the optimistic side, because there's a lot to be positive about with this regime. If this were the Pioli era, I wouldn't be so optimistic, and I wasn't then.

Maybe so. I will admit I didn't notice it as much then. I guess some of it is you are just trying to get in on the ground floor so you can claim that you were right about them. A specific example I remember is you saying that one of the reasons the Chiefs struggled to start last year was not having Sean Smith, which I agreed with. Now without him, you still don't feel there is a difference with Gaines coming back, the very man that was there to start the season. As for that point, I like Gaines future, but short-term I think KC will struggle to replace SS. But you can't have it both ways.

Flemming vs. Gaines

If we were starting Flemming, I would agree. I was more concerned with Smith's suspension at this time last year for the same reason.

I like Nelson and Gaines. Shit, Russelll too. Flemming might turn out to be a decent safety, but he was a scary sight at corner.

It's OK to be a homer, you should just embrace it.

That was pretty good. It really shows how Ford needs to improve on his technique a bit and why his bend limits him some. Didn't I read on here that Ford had a pretty high rate of pressures in his starts last year? That would probably explain why he got all those pressures but not enough sacks. It's obvious that he came out of college gifted with a lot of speed off the edge but obviously needed a lot of work on technique. And he is showing improvement, which is a very good thing. While I don't know that he will ever become a great player, I'm optimistic that he will be a decent player at that position. It would also have been nice to see them breakdown his run defense to see if there has been much improvement there.

Your lenses are as Rosie as they come, though.

Staylor is optimistic about our young talent. Nothing wrong with that at all. I know we are all jaded old ****s around here after decades of disappointment, but if we can't be optimistic about our young talent this time of year, then what do we have?

And Staylor actually does watch a lot of these guys at the college level. It isn't just blind homerism. It's some homerism, sure, but not blind homerism. And **** the spell check on this site for making me retype homerism four ****ing times.
