Chiefs trade (Arenas) for...wait for it...a FB?
Chiefs acquired FB Anthony Sherman from the Chiefs...er Cardinals.
New Cards head coach Bruce Arians has no room for plodding fullbacks in his aggressive, vertical offense. So Sherman heads to Andy Reid's West Coast scheme as Jamaal Charles' lead blocker. The 2011 fifth-rounder graded out 20th among 25 qualifying fullbacks in Pro Football Focus' rankings last season.

Never hated the player He's a decent nickle and a quality dime back ... a guy that is a good player to have around to cover smurfs. This organization has been moving sideways all offseason long. Signing players similar to the one we just cut. trade for a guy to replace the guy we just drafted To lose a guy like Arenas is not the end of the world, it's just annoying.

I just gave you one with the 49ers.
The Ravens just cut Ayandbadejo, but that was due to the cap issues they were facing. They paid him very handsomely over the last several years and he'd been an outstanding player for them through little more than STs contributions. The Seahawks went out and snagged Farwell and he has bee instrumental in their STs units. Seriously, champ - do your own homework as this isn't tough. The best teams in the league right now are absolutely putting significant resources towards their special teams.

How about you go **** yourself instead.
I'm truly sorry I didn't get my response to your dipshit demand put up within 3 minutes after already given you a concrete example that your braindead ass ignored. I'm not sure why I bothered, you're evidently illiterate anyway.

In addition the depth of the Chiefs organization and 49er organization is night and day. The 49ers can add FA for special teams because the have depth at every position. They also have draft picks stock piled by trading their retreads to the Chiefs.

Long snappers? Steve Tasker? Bennie Thompson? For ****'s sake... This is asinine.

When did I say they traded for them? When did you say 'traded for them'? You said 'make roster spots for special teamers' which is exactly what some of the best teams in the NFL have done over the last 2-5 years. The NFL very rarely sees player for player trades. Why is that your barometer for acceptable player acquisition? Bill Belichick used a 6th rounder on Nate Ebner; a guy with no real football skills who they drafted to go play special teams. That's a move. That's the dedication of an asset expressly to satisfying a need on their special teams. And Ebner's been a great special teams player for them. And no, Arenas wasn't going to get a better return than a 6th round pick. But by all means, keep ignoring everything being shown to you, making demands and otherwise talking out your ass. You're really acquitting yourself nicely, here.

we could trade Jake O'Connell for a conditional 7th based on whether or not he scored a TD in 2013 and the whole board would be LIVID that we would trade a guy who has been on our roster for 4 years for a pick we may or may not get!!!

Your very thesis is simply wrong. Winning organizations do make moves expressly designed to add strength to their special teams. And you're an idiot.

Impossible to make the blind see.
You believe what you want, but this is a stupid trade to make at this point in the off-season giving the Chiefs current roster. You make any ignorant comparsions, excuses, or explanations you want to justify it, but it does not change the fact. It is stupid. I'm done here. |

He can't hear you he's too busy doing soul probing, in-depth live tv interviews with that Douche Bag Dan Patrick. Have any of you ever noticed that after a guy get fired by the Hunt family they seem to show up everywhere on tv? What up with that?
