And Sutton's scheme didn't contribute to Flowers constantly nursing vagina bruises the past two seasons. You can have fun trying to re-create whatever magic it was that Herm, Pendergast, and Romeo had on Flowers, but I'm telling you right now that he's not going to be a magic answer to any CB problems you might be having. He'll play well for you, but I guarantee that if you had to deal with his contract amidst a sea of necessary extensions the next two seasons, you'd be saying, "Get this guy off my team" as well. In any case, if he's not a fit for the scheme and is playing on a bloated contract, why the hell should he be considered a "loss"? I saw the wave of Charger fans wailing and crying their eyes out when the team let go of Cromartie. It consisted of Buck and whatever fat piece of ass he was porking at the time. Most Charger fans if I recall were glad to be moving on to not overpay him. |

If we hit gold then Dorsey looks like a stud but he sure as hell isn't playing the odds. A team that just made the playoffs shouldn't have this many questions about their team
QB - Same unless a young guy explodes out of nowhere Oline - not as good as last year TE - same, weren't good enough last year WRs - basically the same and they weren't good enough last year Dline - significant improvement in depth made LBs - basically the same Corners - worse, weren't good enough last year safeties - hopefully a little better and should help so on paper we are the same or worse everywhere except DLine, maybe safety yes, anything can happen but it doesn't look good

As rival fans go, he's usually pretty harmless... but he's on a (dumb) roll here.

Gadzooks, you realize Tamba is 32 after this coming season right? And you realize Flowers is always having injury knacks and isn't worth top 5 CB money right?
I don't think these guys were drafted to replace players for money. They were drafted bc the players they are replacing are either nearing the end of their career or simply didn't fit the system and weren't with huge money. Oh, and that cap space they have is for players who deserve it more, like Justin Houston, so I guess yes it could be argued they we're let/ will be let go for money. How does that not make sense? Is this a bad strategy?

As far as the Gaines comment - Typically, when a team uses a 2nd on a player in a position that lacks depth, they would hope that the player would come in and compete for a starting spot. So, yeah, since Gaines was a 3rd you'd expect he's couple of seasons away. I think we can both agree that the Chiefs are not going to be better next season and even a little worse due to the loss of Albert, loss of O-Line depth and lack of improvement at WR and S. |

-Draft Fisher 1st overall in preparation of replacing Albert -Draft Dee Ford in the 1st to sit in waiting to replace Hali -IMO - they drafted Gaines because they knew they needed more depth once they released Flowers Does a team get better with this approach? I doubt it... Obviously, every pick's a gamble but BPA has shown to be very effective. Even maneuvering to get a BPA in a position of need seems reasonable. But to stand pat and pick players based on who you plan to replace... It's odd. I found the Dee Ford pick to be a reach, but hey, heaven forbid they only have one premier pass rusher, WR and Safety be damned. |

However, KC doesn't lack CB depth. We've got plenty of it. In fact, I'd argue that we're the deepest team in the division at CB. Dorsey obviously felt the same way, because Flowers' overpaid ass would have prevented someone like Parker from sticking around. Our STARTERS are very mediocre and potentially putrid. Sean Smith isn't a #1, and we're counting on a lot to have Marcus Cooper get to the level ability we need him at. But we're fine for depth. Besides, we played so much nickel last year that we were pretty much starting Cooper and Smith for most of games as Flowers would shift inside. All we're doing now is using Cooper in non-nickel situations instead. |
