John Dorsey Appreciation Thread

[pugsnotdrugs19]

This seemed like a necessary post. I think we as a fan base take for granted the moves our GM has made and the culture he and coach Reid have developed in KC. It's a tough thing to make all these things click at once (looking at you, Pioli).

A list I hope can be added to for years, some highlights of the Dorsey era since 2013:
-Drafted Travis Kelce, top 5 TE
-Drafted Eric Fisher, who has developed into a top 15, perhaps 10 tackle
-Claimed Jaye Howard, a brick wall at the LOS
-Claimed and re-signed Ron Parker, a journeyman turned into a high quality safety
-Signed Husain Abdullah, another quality safety
-Re-signed Allen Bailey, a bull at the LOS
-Flipped Kelcie McCray for a 5th round pick
-Signed Chase Daniel, great backup who has one the team a game in relief
-Signed Mike DeVito, solid veteran who is great in the run game
-Drafted Phillip Gaines, who looked like a real nice slot corner pre-ACL
-Re-signed Justin Houston, top 5 defensive player in the NFL
-Kept Tamba Hali on a pay cut, playing at a high level while the jury is still out on Dee Ford
-Signed Jeremy Maclin, a true WR1 that the Chiefs have lacked
-Draft De'Anthony Thomas, top 5 kick returner
-Signed undrafted FA's Charcandrick West, Albert Wilson, Justin March (promising prospect)
-Re-signed Jamaal Charles, all-time great RB
-Drafted Mitch Morse, already a top 10 center
-Drafted Marcus Peters, that's all
-Traded for Alex Smith, say what you will, no he's not elite, but he's better than what we've had for years and wins more than most
-Traded for Anthony Sherman, perhaps the best FB in the NFL
-Signed Sean Smith, top 10 corner a year ago

With the jury still out on several picks and more moves to be made, here's to hoping this list continues to grow and grow moving forward. Kudos so far, Mr. Dorsey. Don't stop now.

Alex Smith couldn't do that in 2011 and won't do it in 2015.

If people wish to bring up Alex Smith, they should expect debate.

I don't think Alex has anything to do with John. That was 100% Andy. Decision was made to get Alex before Dorsey even got the offer for this job.

Until something actually changes, the arguments will stay the same.

Explain where I called it a winning culture? Did I ever use that word? No? Ok

Yes because it was Smith who fumbled two punts in the NFC championship game, and Kyle Williams had 2 TDs/0 INTs.

Your act is worn out.

Baconeater-- please explain your root of constant frustration. You don't ever seem to be in a good mood. Cheer up, pal.

0 third down conversions by the 49ers had just as much to do with that loss

I'd be more than happy to fly a banner week 1 the year after we win a super bowl.

thanks for the rep! did it hit a little close to home?

You say you want to talk football, but in reality, all you want to talk is failure. Prolly why you'll be banned in the GDT.It's just silly. You're a talented, funny and smart guy, wasting time on something you don't have faith in. It doesn't make any difference in the big picture, whereas fun and positive stuff, does. ALWAYS.

NFC Title Game:

The 49ers converted just one of 13 third downs all game, with the only conversion coming on the final play of regulation, leaving plenty of blame to go to players besides Williams.

"We all know him," Smith said. "We know how committed he is to winning. It's not on him. I look at the 1-for-13 on third downs. I know he's going to feel bad, but he's still part of our team. We didn't lose the game there. We lost it across the board offensively. We just couldn't get it done."
