Chiefs John Dorsey Appreciation Thread - Page 5

pugsnotdrugs19 · 02:54 PM

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.

"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."

The 49ers were ranked 31st I believe in 3rd down conversion % during the regular season and last amonsgt every playoff team at seasons end.

This is a good post.

Imagine if Dee has a good game tomorrow?

He has had 10 years in the league to show us what he's got. It ain't much.

Youre not looking at this the right way.

I'm looking at this from a record perspective. Which is what you need to do to determine if you're winning more or losing more. What side is the pendulum of your team on? The winning side or losing side? If it on the winning side that more you have a winning culture and if it's on the losing side you have a losing culture

Chiefs have played a total of 47 games since Reid and Dorsey arrived in 2013 and have a record of 26-17. I think the pendulum has swung more on that winning side. Records tell you who you are. We are winners!

Much like the start of this season I didn't like much Dorsey did his first two years.

That's done and over.

This season there's very little I can see that he did wrong. I thought he was excellent in the draft (and who really argues over 6th/7th round picks?) Bringing in guys like West and Ware probably saved this season for us. Maclin has added a new dimension to the offense (even if he doesn't get the ball enough.)

This team isn't perfect but you can't fix everything wrong with a team in 1 offseason...

Dorsey has learned on the job. He has pretty mediocre drafts year 1 and 2. Way overpaid on several contracts early on. However, I thought he handled the Houston contract very well and his draft this year is looking brilliant. Consistently, he's been outstanding with low draft picks, undrafted rookies, and the cheap free agent reject pile. Unbelievably successful, in fact. My only big beef with him is, regardless of your opinion on Alex Smith, he should have drafted Bridgewater last year.

Are you attributing the Vikings wins to Teddy as a decent game manager or the fact they have good defense and the best RB in the league??

I have watched half of the Vikings games from start to finish. I like Teddy. But he's not going to be an upgrade over Smitty

Are you kidding me? Coming from the same guy that has been polishing smith's knob for doing the same exact shit for 10 years?

I never said Bridgewater would be starting by now over Smith. But you don't pass up chances to get a good QB, especially in a situation like KC where you still really don't know exactly what you have.
