Chiefs Brett Veach’s approach: “**** it, why not?” - Page 4

Dante84 · 11-22-2017, 04:38 PM

CJ Spiller
Cam Erving
Reggie Ragland
Darrelle Revis

See the pattern? Veach signs previously highly touted prospects or players, for cheap, to see what they can do for us.

He isn’t afraid to kick them to the curb, as we saw with Spiller multiple times, or demote them, as we saw with Erving. He’s also not afraid to promote them, as we’ve seen with Ragland.

As long as we aren’t too loyal to these guys and take appropriate action based on their performance (and not on potential), I’m fine with it.

Gaines and Smith make each other look like all pros in practice.

Update: + Kendall Fuller.

Thing about Kendall Fuller is this: He had a first-round grade prior to his knee injury at Virginia Tech, and some offensive players in Washington believed he was poised to become the best player on that defense in another year. #Chiefs get a rising star.

This is so true. Fuller was considered a blue-chip prospect prior to his injury-plagued final season at https://t.co/neahzM6PbS. He's played like a quality starter for the #Redskins as a slot CB. He gives the #Chiefs a young, athletic CB to pair w/No.22. Could have 2 ⭐️s at CB https://t.co/GrRROJGIuN

Veach has a type.

Happy of the acquisition, less happy that the acquisition's initial response is how glad it isn't him being traded.

Not good for him wanting to come to KC. Not good for awareness of his employment situation.

Or that he’s going to be an extremely loyal player for KC.

Could be, who knows the future? Not sure where you draw a direct line from 'glad I'm not going to KC' to 'KC has my eternal loyalty.'

Want to walk me through it?

Maybe he's just young and doesn't think before he tweets. Twitter is known for that nowadays.

**The Franchise** · 01-30-2018, 11:20 PM

Or maybe if you follow the ****ing story, you’d know that when he tweeted that....he didn’t know that he had been traded. He was the last to know.

I know all of that, and I know what he tweeted on that basis.

It's not a dealbreaker, just a [hopefully minor] ding to the start of the relationship.

pugsnotdrugs19 · 01-30-2018, 11:28 PM

Well he just tweeted that he can't wait to get to KC and is excited to be a Chief... so....

Do you think he is aware of the trade at this point?

**** it, not worth it. Everything's wine and roses.

Simply out of pure curiosity, how would you respond to an employer floating the idea of changing your residence and corporate location within the first few minutes of hearing the news?

I would bet you wouldn't be pissing all over your former organization based on speculation and rumors...
