Teicher: Chiefs seem adrift while Raiders ride momentum

Chiefs seem adrift while Raiders ride momentum

Adam Teicher
ESPN Staff Writer



KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The most notable event of the week for one AFC West favorite came when the Oakland Raiders signed their franchise quarterback, Derek Carr, to a five-year contract extension.

The most notable event of the week for the division's other top contender came when the Kansas City Chiefs announced -- one month before the start of training camp -- they were looking to hire a new general manager.

Talk about a tale of two franchises. Carr and Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie were all smiles at Friday's news conference to announce the quarterback's contract. Carr, even though he's now the highest-paid player in NFL history, talked about his desire to leave some money for teammates who are also due for a raise. McKenzie talked about his desire to get that accomplished.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs hid behind a prepared statement that didn't explain their reasons for letting go of general manager John Dorsey.

In Oakland, they have a plan. With Carr signed for the long term, McKenzie and the Raiders are free to secure some of their other good, young players such as linebacker Khalil Mack, offensive lineman Gabe Jackson and wide receiver Amari Cooper.

In Kansas City, the Chiefs don't have a plan or if they do, they need a better one. Looking for a GM with training camp looming should never be a part of the script.

The week's developments in Oakland and in Kansas City won't necessarily determine the course of the AFC West race in 2017 and for years to come. They will make things more difficult for the Chiefs, who tied with the Raiders at 12-4 last season but won the AFC West title because they swept the two games against Oakland.

Both teams until recently looked as if they had sustainability. The Raiders have many good, young players and the financial resources to keep them around for a while. The Chiefs are well coached by Andy Reid and his staff and also have a talented roster that was being continually restocked because of Dorsey's smart drafting. The Chiefs in April drafted Patrick Mahomes II, perhaps giving them an eventual franchise quarterback of their own.

Suddenly, it's natural to wonder about the Chiefs, who don't look as if they're being guided by any well-thought-out plan. Early in June, they released their most accomplished and experienced wide receiver, Jeremy Maclin, two years after signing him as a free agent.

Now, after discussing a contract extension with Dorsey earlier in the offseason, they're looking for his replacement. That task is more daunting given the mixed results from chairman Clark Hunt in hiring GMs. Dorsey was a good hire. The previous general manager, Scott Pioli, was not.

Hunt needs to get this one right. The Chiefs have to keep up with their rivals in Oakland, who have a general manager, money to burn and a smart plan.

The Chiefs, for the moment, have none of the three.

Pretty silly stance considering the Chiefs absurd run of luck last year.

It's more about how the Fade won their games. They caught some awfully nice breaks at crucial times from the officials.

The Chiefs pulled games out of their ass, but it was due to plays made by the players, not the officiating.

Like Denver's miracle wins early in the year: They were good plays made by players on the field, not an official mis-spotting the ball over and over, all in favor of one team.....

Absurdly biased generalization. Oakland's offense was raping fools in crunch time.

But what DT and Sanders failed to realize was their o-line was that bad and he was struggling to get time to get them the ball.

Kubes and Elway had a gentleman's parting of the ways with Kubes health being the smokescreen as the reason and a reasonable one but it was not the main reason. Kubes used a 7th rd pick on Siemian who has shown promise and improvement and Elway used a 1st on Lynch who has yet to show improvement and brain capacity to embrace the NFL game. Elway knew Kubes would probably go with Siemian again to start, knowing his pick Lynch was still not ready and Elway did not like Kubes offense and what he tried to do with Manning in the 1st half of that season IMHO and became increasingly frustrated with Kubes offense during the 16 campaign. So because Elway must save face at all costs he basically tells Kubes that Lynch "will start in 17"(knowing Kubes will not like and probably resign) and Kubes say's okay and I'm outta here then and his health is a good reasonable smokescreen. Of course my theory here. So Elway must now find a good yes man that is a good D coordinator to fill Wade's spot. And lo and behold the Broncos have their version of Herm Edwards in Vance Joseph IMHO just watch. Elway runs the offense now make no mistake about that.
i think the only reason the chiefs hired dorsey was to provide cover until andy could prove to hunt he could still do it all and not suck

He's the ultimate anti-Chiefs contrarian. It's best to just put the dumbass on iggy. He's not worth anyone's time anymore.
He's playing the opposite game over on the Mane

The NFL had an agenda going back to last off-season. I had never seen so much hype for a 7-9 team who's wins came against the 5-11 Ravens, 3-13 Browns, 4-12 Chargers (x2), 3-13 Titans. Their most impressive win was against the Jets.

There was nothing there to say..gee, this team is on the cusp of greatness. Not a breakout game performance...nothing. Every talking head got their bullet points and starting pimping them...it smelled fowl.

The Raider mania was completely manufactured due to a pending stadium deal/relocation. In the past two seasons, their most impressive win was against the Texans in Mexico...which was greatly aided by the officials.

They haven't beaten anyone worth a shit in two seasons but are now being hyped as a possible SB contender.

They outscored their opponent 42-0 in the final 3 minutes last season in their comeback wins. The fix was in...

Oakland is an average team that the NFL WANTS to appear good...and if you tell suckers the sky is red enough times..they will start to believe it.

Teicher is a lap dog....

Chiefs are adrift how?

Drafted a young talented QB and have one of the youngest most talented rosters in the NFL minus a few positions like ILB.

Nothing is adrift about that.

I barely post there. And I rarely say anything about Denver. Or anything positive about KC.
