Eddie Jackson is a remarkable story precisely BECAUSE he's so rare. And to hand waive the development of Jones by saying 'well he's a 2nd round pick' is to completely ignore that about 2/3 of 2nd round picks never become meaningful starters, let alone dynamic players at the level of Chris Jones. And are you really going to say Dee Ford was 'easy to project'? His improvement and development has been remarkable. In the NFL, a Steven Nelson and Daniel Sorensen is a success story. An Eddie Jackson is a minor miracle. And if you want to blame poor coaching rather than talent, why haven't guys like DJ White, Ukeme Eligwe and Ramik Wilson gone on to have success elsewhere? If those were 'difference makers' who were simply undercoached, why didn't another team get their hands on them and turn them into premier players. You ask how many guys Sutton has coached into stars - well how many guys have improved to any real degree after leaving KC? Why hasn't Nunez-Roches or Nico Johnson gone elsewhere and excelled? It's an easy answer -they just aren't great players.

If you don't have a lot of talent on your squad, you'd better have a lot of heart, guts, and a mean streak a country mile wide.

2018: 31st Total - 32nd Pass - 22nd Rush 2017: 28th Total - 29th Pass - 25th Rush 2016: 24th Total - 18th Pass - 26th Rush 2015: 7th Total - 9th Pass - 8th Rush 2014: 7th Total - 2nd Pass - 28th Rush 2013: 24th Total - 25th Pass - 22nd Rush These are the seasons that Bob has been the DC in KC. In 2014 we were 9-7 and didn't make the playoffs, with the 7th Total Defense. Prominent defensive stars included: Josh Mauga Ron Parker Husain Abdullah Justin Houston Tamba Hali Sean Smith Dontari Poe Allen Bailey Curt Coleman Eric Berry Derrick Johnson (Only played 1 game) In 2015, that was the 1-5 year where we won every game after that and went 11-5. Beating the Texans in the first round 30 - 0 and losing to NE 27-20. Prominent defensive stars included: 2014 Squad + Marcus Peters and Tyvon Branch He proved that he can do it in 2014 and 2015, bouncing back from that atrocity that was the Indianapolis failure in the 2013 Playoffs, but for three years now, he's regressing. A new DC needs to be brought in that can get us back to middle of the pack, especially while Pat is on his rookie deal, Bob Sutton needs to be let go at the end of the season. |

I don't have a problem with bringing in a new voice. I think it's time for that.
But I also don't think it's really a Sutton issue as much as a player issue. Eric Murray isn't good. Ron Parker isn't good. |

What in the sweet hell happened to Lucas? He hasn't played at all in forever.
Instead we get Eric Murray and Ron Parker. I was told once guys started coming back Parker would play less. What happened. |

And at some point the DC needs to be held accountable for keeping them out there. Are you telling me that Lucas is worse than Parker or Murray? He didn't look like an All Pro but he didn't look like trash when he got the chance.

He looked iffy for 2 weeks, then he looked good when he came back. Now he sucks again. Why is it that a young athlete like Watts has to get hurt but Ron Parker would survive a nuclear holocaust with nothing more than a sprained pinky?

They just play so damn passive. When you watch a team like the Cowboys, they just ****ing fly around. The Chiefs d sits around and waits for someone to make a play. |

His defensive teams in Philly had a nasty streak when they had Jim. I haven't ever really been on the "fire Sutton" thing but it's just time for new blood. |

It was time for new blood last year but Andy didn't want to go there.
