I've never once told 'myself' that everything was Dee Ford's fault, let alone espoused anything like that here.
And I've never said everyone is playing exactly where they want to.
But you go ahead and assemble the dossier of SB contributors who were vocally seeking to be released and visibly discontent with where they are contractually bound AS they were contributing to a SB run. . . I'll wait.
Holding onto the Jalen Ramseys and Marcus Peters of the league, while they are in malcontent mode, is for also-rans. Pretending they will shape up and behave if they're held hostage is Pollyannish, particularly in the crucible of championship runs..

Well that's ironic as ****.
And by the way - you're welcome to point out all the vociferous demands to be traded made by Marcus Peters. There were the same rumors that we see about players all the time and history is LITTERED with guys who clashed with their team/staff but straightened up long enough to win things.
Even the Patriots have rumblings every year. Do you not recall as recently as last year that the rumors out of Foxborough were that Belichick and Brady were on the outs because Brady was so enamored with Jimmy Grapes and Brady's ego was bruised, etc...? Happens across the league all the time.
But because we're right in the middle of it with the Chiefs, we give it an outsized importance. Every team in the league has players that are unhappy with their deals or their coaches. Every single one. And because Marcus Peters plays for our team we were more aware of it with him than we would be for anyone else.
But to try to compare Jalen Ramsey's situation with Marcus Peters - who said NOTHING publicly and played every game - shows just how badly you're reaching here. Peters was grumbling. Guys grumble in every locker room in the league. But because you don't follow those teams you don't hear about it.
And because the Chiefs traded the guy only to watch their season come apart due to a leaky defense, you have to try to convince yourself that there's no way he could've possibly played well here. And
I'M the one crafting a narrative....
Sure thing, sport.
