An NFL insider rips Pioli for letting quality players go
The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity:
• “When you are $20 million-$25 million under the cap, you can’t afford to let a homegrown guy like Brandon Carr get out of the building. Carl Peterson drafted him in the fifth round — (GM) Scott (Pioli) didn’t draft him. (Carr) is a bona fide starter and he is young and you let him get away on his first contract without getting anything in return? Go and pay him, especailly if he is so far under the cap. You are going to bring in Stanford Routt, who is getting diced by whoever he is lining up against and expect the same results? Routt can’t cover himself up at night. He is like that great mule everyone wants to ride. They could have had their two corners locked up for at least 4-5 years with (Brandon) Flowers and Carr. Instead, Carr is down in Dallas having a good season. Brian Waters had a great year in New England last year. How many good years (in Atlanta) has Tony Gonzalez had now? Enough said.” http://www.profootballweekly.com/201...op-cornerbacks |

I know paying corners that much is absurd, but the Chiefs should not have let Carr get away. He's a lock down corner in every sense of the word.
Honestly, Carr is better than Flowers.

Contrary to this report, Carr has been getting burnt up in Dallas.

I wasn't too upset they let him go. You can win a super bowl with a guy like Routt as your #2. The thing that sucks is the money saved from not signing Carr wasn't used to get Manning or extend Bowe. |

Can win one easier with two corners the quality of Flowers and Carr.

It's all about getting that above-average QB and a good HC now. I'm still convinced that this team has top 10 talent outside of QB but definitly, some guys have underachieved. |

And the Gonzalez thing is inexcusable, particularly when you turn him into Javier Arenas. Possibly one of the worst trades this team has ever made. |

I got blasted for making that last statement a few months ago. You simply cannot let the hardest working man on your football team walk away.

And imagine how much more imaginative the defense could be - I mean, the defense RAC usually wants to go with, the DBs are expected to be flexible, as in play either S or CB (there is no true 'FS' or 'SS' in that D - both are expected to cover either side depending on the situation) - Berry is that guy (when he's 100% - and he's not right now) and Carr TOTALLY was that guy. Carr could play either side CB, S or Nickel without being a liability at any (I'm talking to you, Travis Daniels and Javier Arenas); he could man up, and cover his zone. One-on-one or playing underneath assignments... He was a model teammate and one of the most versatile and complete football players on the team... and they let him walk, and signed a man-to-man cover corner who struggles with reads and zones. Awesome. Routt should've been a nickle back here, and Travis Daniels should be working at Home Depot. But no, it's a process.
