He became the cancer survivor poster boy for the NFL...which increased his emotional value through marketing. KC just got 6 national games. Hunt wanted him a happy Chief...and its his team. He played great last season so not taking anything away from that...but it was a contract year. |

Clark Hunt and John Dorsey had a toxic relationship. Dorsey was allowed to run the football operations but Clark was clearly unhappy with the handling of Berry's contract, long term contracts given to Maclin and Bowe (among others that didn't pan out), the mishandling of the salary cap and the negative publicity surrounding Maclin's release. The Chiefs not only lost Chris Ballard this year, they lost their College Scouting Director, Marvin Allen, to Buffalo, where he took a demotion. They chose to move on from Trip McCracken and Will Lewis, while David Culley took a QB Coach job in Buffalo after working with Reid continuously since 1999. Obviously, whatever issues that caused Clark Hunt to move on from Dorsey didn't just start and end in the past week. |

Belichick actually is fair to his players. Those who play in NE love him. Its his tone with the media that mostly gives him this reputation. But he hardly singles out a player for praise knowing that everyone has a role to play in a championship run unlike Reid who routinely puts Berry in the spotlight. I have had enough with the come as players, leave as family mantra. Time for real results!
If Mahomes turns out to be elite we will see a different culture IMHO that is much more consistent with true contenders where the QB leads the locker room. |

This is on Hunt...it had to be a knee-jerk. Sounds like amateur hour. Dorsey is still being payed for another year... just go away. Last edited by BlackOp; 06-24-2017 at 01:36 PM.. |

The way people were talking you'd think KC has 30 million dollars in dead cap money.
Look like it's just under 10 million, which isn't bad. It's not great, but this issue is being enormously over-stated. |

Now, I'm sure people will say they'll cut DJ, Hali, Bailey and Colquitt to create cap room, but they'll also need to replace those guys, which will cost money as well. And of that $10 million remaining this year, they'll need $5 million in reserve for injuries and signings. It's not good. |

His system, when executed well and when turnovers are limited, is very good at beating bad and mediocre teams, and thus produces a lot of regular season wins because those are 2/3 of the teams you play in a given year. In the postseason you don't play many mediocre teams, which is probably why he has a losing record in the postseason. Once in a while a Brian Hoyer quarterbacked Texans team backs into the playoffs, but other than that, Reid doesn't win consistently in the postseason, despite often getting there. |

Teams that come in here have to outperform us in at least 2 of the 3 to win. How many games have we seen the offense get dominated but the Defense and Special teams bail them out for wins? It must drive other teams crazy knowing they played better a majority of games only to lose from a pick 6, a punt return for a TD, or 6 freaking field goals. The Atlanta game was a prime example. Despite his faults, Andy wins a lot of games. He gets a lead and grinds it out in the ugliest way possible. It is maddening sometimes, watching him shoot himself in the foot with game decision blunders, but he wins. With that said- it still takes an Elite QB for a team to win consistently in the Playoffs. Hopefully, Andy gets that now by drafting 2 PM. |
