Romeo should grow a beard...

Unable to listen
Any ideas about the OC position? Let me know if Romeo makes mention of anything, please!
SCKSChief - January 9, 2012
What I want to hear from Romeo..
If he will hire someone to be DC, who he is targeting as an OC, and the future of Matt Cassel

in other news, Sir Isaac Newton, respected professor of physics at Cambridge University, has just announced a major discovery regarding Gravity

WHAT?! NO WAY!

Newton was professor of mathematics.

Sorry for the redundancy.

They also have it on nfl network...

That's surprising.

Especially sinice there is Tebow news to pass along...

Why can't Clark... SPEAK... NOT READ!!!?!!?!?

That's what happens when you don't work your way up to the top -

It's on NFLN and FOX 4, locally
Those streams aren’t working for some reason.

Do they have a stream?
Neither KCChiefs.com or KCTV 5 are working for me… :(

they are waiting for pioli to turn the switch on first
everthing must be signed off on by pioli
niageriannit1 - January 9, 2012
Kyle Orton has to like this if he's even considering KC as an option.
When I guy endorses you over the incumbant after one week of practice with a busted up fingerthat can’t be anything but good for you.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
to be fair, what was he going to say? Romeo gave orton motivation. no more no less
i fear that this team wont cut ties with cassel because they wont want to eat the money. isnt it still about 7 mil to cut cassel
SDChief - January 9, 2012
Dont need to cut him
His pay is only 5.5M$ this year so you keep him around as a backup or trade him.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
thats an expensive backup
SDChief - January 9, 2012
Tell that to the Colts.
Who some think will be paying Andrew Luck about $17M to back up Manning.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
we will see if they do that, or move on from manning
those thinking oliver luck wants his son sitting behind manning better think again
SDChief - January 9, 2012
Yeah, but they are good.
ChiefDJ - January 9, 2012
If by good
you mean the worst team in the NFL in 2011, I agree.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
My thought too. But I guess he means the QBs?
electriclight - January 9, 2012
Better than Palko as backup.
At least we know if our starter (if it isn’t Matt) gets injured, our backup can play.
Knightwolfbr - January 9, 2012
Yeah, it just might put them over the cap if the retain him.
CapsLockKey - January 9, 2012
I totally understand.
I just don’t want any other “Palko” experience to happen. I think we learned the importance of a good backup QB.
Knightwolfbr - January 9, 2012
Orton played 1 good game and two ok games
I don’t think suitors will be knocking his door down, but he’s a classy guy who didn’t want to say “yeah, i’d love to take Matt Cassel’s job.” My guess is he’d love to play here, or anywhere else where they will hire him to compete for a #1 spot. I doubt anyone will guarantee him the starting role. The right contract will land him here.
just a guy - January 9, 2012 via mobile
oh and another thing
I’ve been a Cassel defender but I think Orton is better. If we don’t keep Orton However, Cassel can be good enough. With good coordinators (McDaniel’s and Weis) he’s 21-11, with bad Coordinators (Haley/Zorn/Muir) he’s been pretty bad.
So I’d prefer Orton or a rookie Phenom out of nowhere or for Stanzi to be incredible, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if we ended up with Cassel for one more year.
just a guy - January 9, 2012 via mobile
romeo, promote gibbs or thomas(either or, just make sure you keep both, gibbs is remarkably underappreciated)
hire an offensive staff, hire a new special teams coach
and now…finally….we have the head coach in place to try and convince pioli to take….a nose tackle! we can only hope…
SDChief - January 9, 2012
I'll throw Anthony Pleasant's name into the rin with Gibbs and Thomas

R2J_24 - January 9, 2012
so true.
SDChief - January 9, 2012
They are in a new theatre... so that is part of their excuse.
They should have gotten the kinks worked out earlier though.
ravenhawk - January 9, 2012
You would think they would knowing that at some point this importnat presser would happen.

broncos won a playoff game, but im still hoping the orton comp pick we may get turns into a superstar with a passion for dominating denver
SDChief - January 9, 2012
Zorn is the only coach seen.
From what I read on Twitter.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Interesting comment about team is ONE...not competing against each other
I wonder if Haley promoted competition between Offense vs. Defense vs. Special Teams

R2J_24 - January 9, 2012
Tebow highlights are apparently more important on NFLN
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
Of course he did throw for 3:16
Ren - January 9, 2012
And the ratings were 3:16 I'm pretty sure he is Jesus Christ
KC_Chiefs92 - January 9, 2012
Maybe the Anti-Christ.
The Bible does say something about the AC being able to fool us all.
Falcon58 - January 9, 2012
The AC makes the weather seem cooler than it is.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
It's global warming - ask Al Gore

Either way the world is coming to an end

His situation in CLE was the pits. (as it is for everyone who walks through there)
I have a good feeling about his 2nd stint as a Head Coach.
R2J_24 - January 9, 2012
No coach has been given an extension in Cleveland since Marty
Thats telling.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
Cant be much worse
Ren - January 9, 2012
Don't forget Bill Belichek coached there too.
Knightwolfbr - January 9, 2012
"Are you a players coach? What is a players coach?"
What a stupid ass line of questions.

Your first KC presser?

Touche
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
How about something like - who do you plan to have as your assistants?
Ren - January 9, 2012
He shouldve said
It’s aint Todd Haley
golfbard - January 9, 2012
Lets ask some real questions
What are these people thinking
BuckeyeChiefFan - January 9, 2012
That they're glad they work in a market with no quality competition?
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
haha
damn your prob right
BuckeyeChiefFan - January 9, 2012
hey I love knowing how long RAC spends a day on the toilet
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
That's craptastic!
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
I hope everything came out ok
Ren - January 9, 2012
When is Karen going to hop in with a hard hitting question about children or something equally retarded.
sayten - January 9, 2012
after she asks him what he had for breakfast
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
"Did you think it was wrong to fire Haley before Christmas...
since he has a family and all? Did that make you sad?"
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Pioli was visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve.
electriclight - January 9, 2012
Wow Peter King picked Derrick Johnson over Patrick Willis on his All-Pro team
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
Two of his four linebackers are Chiefs.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
No surprise.
He was pumping up Lilja all year last year, though he was largely ignored by most of the mainstream media.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
But Peter King hates the Chiefs!
cheapham - January 9, 2012
Heh.
Yeah, anyone who isn’t an outright fan hates us.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Darn right
On a more serious note, his reasoned outsider’s take on the Chiefs is usually quite insightful, even if it cuts a little deep. I enjoy reading his columns, even if they can be self-indulgent.
cheapham - January 9, 2012
Yeah, he's a blowhard.
But at least he seems to try and be fair. And I like that he’s not afraid to retweet a lot of people who rip him.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Simple question: Do you play to win the game?
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
Hello?!?!?!
His Royal Greatness - January 9, 2012
Put your name on it!
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Q: "Are you gonna bring the Hoopla to the Chiefs?"
Ren - January 9, 2012
Pioli was married to his wife when she was 10 years old...
I mustve misheard that…
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
Damn ! They are getting all of the dirty secrets out
Ren - January 9, 2012
None of this matters...
If Pioli spits his ego in Romeos face and says it’s Cassel no matter what.
SFCBurkhart - January 9, 2012
Eggo?
Falcon58 - January 9, 2012
Leggo my Eggo
Ren - January 9, 2012
I want to hear about Matt vs Kyle
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
what about them?
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
Really?
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
Clark looks like he belongs with the folks at the reupublican debate
Just has the politician look too him

It's probably the terrible haircut.

So Clark says we want to be a team that drafts well and develops the guys they drafted.
Time to ante up and sign Bowe and Carr then chumps.

GaryfromIA - January 9, 2012
Why do you want to coach the Kansas City Chiefs?
“Because I want to win a Super Bowl”
camucr - January 9, 2012
put that on a beer commercial
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
The situation IS
the situation
CorFueled - January 9, 2012
"Cassel took us to the playoffs
so we expect he can do it again"
CorFueled - January 9, 2012
eeeeehhhhhhh
I feel sick
Ren - January 9, 2012
sigh...
and got totallly blown out
….and i expect he can do THAT again too
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
Don't forget the sweet 150 yd passing days
Ren - January 9, 2012
ah...
yes, the glory days
SFCBurkhart - January 9, 2012
Yeah against the easiest schedule in Chiefs history
CorFueled - January 9, 2012
mmmmhmmm
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
To be fair, if Cassel didn’t get injured, chances are that the Chiefs would have made the playoffs again this year.
manofnothi - January 9, 2012
I mean Cassel is still under contract so what do we expect him to say? He can’t throw Cassel under the bus right now and my guess is that answer was just a politicaly correct one. He sounded as if he really enjoys Orton but can’t touch on it.
BRK29 - January 9, 2012
I don't think that's an unreasonable assertion
Now, whether Matt Cassel can perform well into/beyond the playoffs…that’s something to be heavily doubted.
cheapham - January 9, 2012
How many times has Romeo said "process"
Its getting Haleyesque.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
pioli coached him before this meeting
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
He doesn't stutter as much
and do that mumble-talk thing
His Royal Greatness - January 9, 2012
Even still...
This kind of press conference is refreshing. Haley was all smoke and mirrors. This at least sounds genuine through and through.
ArrowSpread - January 9, 2012
Haley had that "I don't think I'm allowed to say that" attitude.
Falcon58 - January 9, 2012
And this press conference sounds a bit more coached than before. It’s now the offseason, Pioli has a while to coach Pioli on how he has to act. RAC will probably even come out in a hoody sometime next season.
manofnothi - January 9, 2012
Cassel for next year
I have a feeling about this
dbaty7 - January 9, 2012
"I don't think Matt Cassel has fallen off the wagon overnight"
Looks like we’re sticking with Cassel going forward
camucr - January 9, 2012
Someone needs to push him off the wagon.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
Haha
can we tie Muir and Richardson to him so they all fall off?
GaryfromIA - January 9, 2012
If Muir and BRich are involved - just drag them behind
Ren - January 9, 2012
sticking with Cassel ...
… is not “moving forward”
upamtn - January 9, 2012
agreed
camucr - January 9, 2012
Would you call that neutral?
or having stripped gears so you’re stuck in 1st?
His Royal Greatness - January 9, 2012
I'd argue and say thats going BACKWARD
Ren - January 9, 2012
urgh
Chief-blinders-on - January 9, 2012
Lets put it in Context of what Romeo has said...
He harped on Orton being a UFA for most of that rant. The only reason he said this about Cassel is because he is one of 2 QB’s that are currently under contract.
He also gave Orton plenty of praise saying that he was only here as the HC because of Orton’s play on the field. I believe that Crennel would love to have Orton signed up. Though as he also said… it would make the decision upon whom the starter would be is much more difficult.
ravenhawk - January 9, 2012
Fans crack me up.
They’re pissed because Crennel didn’t say Cassel sucks.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Yes they are funny...
They blatantly stated that they are interested in guys outside of the franchise, but refused to name names.
Movement in and out of the franchise is going to occur. We shall see what happens in the upcoming months.
ravenhawk - January 9, 2012
If the QB situation remains the same.
I’ll grab my own pitchfork. But it’s way too early to be having a fit over what may or may not happen.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
That is my main interest...
We got Haley his guy… now its time for us to get RAC his QB that isn’t named Quinn.
ravenhawk - January 9, 2012
They will pass out the torches and pitchforks for opening day

Ren - January 9, 2012
it's fun to find these random posts
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
He didn't say matt's our guy
rather he said you can win with him. He’s not going to throw him under the bus and diminsh what little trade value he has.
golfbard - January 9, 2012
I
call BS
SFCBurkhart - January 9, 2012
I wouldn't freak out just yet.
He’s not going to throw the guy under the bus when he’s currently the only QB under contract with any sort of experience.

Ren - January 9, 2012
Pioli needs to get the image of Matt behind NEs O line out of his head
every QB in the league would look better behind that line….you ever see Brady just stand there and look, and look, and wait and wait, then look again, then FINALLY throw the ball….
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
In all fairness that oline was pretty bad that year.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
really?....
he went 11-4…Brady would have taken the 15-1….how bad could it have been?….you people have much better memories than me about teams that I dont follow as close
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
I have a better half that's a Pats fan.
They really werent that good that year. Actually Cassel wasn’t even really that good that year. He had a few really good games that skewed the numbers but it was a pretty inconsistent year on offense. Still goes back to your point though that Pioli needs to get over his love affair with Cassel.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
he had back to back 400 yard games
it was a record at the time…..sounds like good protection to me
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
They gave up about 50 sacks that year.
His success was more from the fact that they actually had a good running game that season moreso then line protection.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
and remember they gave up half that many sacks the year before with Brady
and half that many the yer after with Brady
gee, you don’t suppose that Cassel had anything to do with … nahhhhhhh
upamtn - January 9, 2012
His argument is that Cassel had all day and then more to throw the ball.
That wasn’t the case that year. They didn’t have the same injuries the year before and after either but yes Brady does help cut down on some of those.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
they had 21 rec TDs and 21 rush TDs
Brady would have thrown for 35+ easily….
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
and i guess if you MUST nitpick
i could say…Pioli needs to get the image of Matt Cassel on the PATRIOTS out of his head…..better?
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
Mr. I stare down my receiver and hold the ball for 10 sec per pass play? NOOOOOOOO
Ren - January 9, 2012
gave up 47 sacks...
matt is known for holding onto the ball…..Brady would have taken less than half that many….cause he knows what he is doing….
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
The reason the o-line was pretty bad that year...
was simply because of injuries. They had a talented team that was battling injuries all year. Vrabel even was banged up… and it was probably his last best year.
ravenhawk - January 9, 2012
Surely that had nothing to do with a QB not named Brady playing behind them...
Funny how in 2007 the Pats were the 5th least sacked team,
In 2008 they were the 5th most sacked team,
Then in 2009 they were the 3rd least sacked team…
Yep. The Pats OL just sucked in 2008. surely it had nothing to do with QB play…
Tomahawk29 - January 9, 2012
thanks for that
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
No prob.
I’m tired of hearing the argument over and over that OL needs to come before the QB.
It’s not uncommon for better QB play to make an OL look better. Be that through quicker release, better decision making, or pointing out blitz schemes, I don’t know.
The colts are another example. Last year they were the least sacked team. This year they were the 17th most sacked.
the Chiefs OL isn’t that bad. RT could stand to be upgraded, but put a competent QB behind them and we’ll be shocked, I think.
Tomahawk29 - January 9, 2012
Cassel can thank Randy Moss for his $63 million contract
He’s not the first crappy QB who he made look good. There was this guy named Daunte Culpepper, and let’s not forget a 50 year old Randall Cunningham had his best season of his career throwing to Moss.
CapsLockKey - January 9, 2012
that would require Pioli getting his head out of his a ...

upamtn - January 9, 2012
The Steelers might be wise to make Carr a 5yr/50 mill offer?
Or, yeah, NE. You know if Hoodie told Pioli he wanted Carr … no if’s and’s or but’s … Pioli would say, “Yes, Dear!”
LocoLoboChico - January 9, 2012
The fine print in the Cassel trade said:
“And NE gets a player to be named later.”
Falcon58 - January 9, 2012
can we send them Cassel?
upamtn - January 9, 2012
Nope, it's Belicheck's choice.
We’re Bowned.
Falcon58 - January 9, 2012
Please no
As much as I love Bowe, I’d rather the Chiefs sign Carr > Bowe if we had a choice of only one.

which guys - Muir, the Hoff ST, and BRich are ok
Ren - January 9, 2012
I won't be shocked if Bowe leaves
And I think RAC saying that is the writing on the wall.
aasukisuki - January 9, 2012
That was my prediction all along.
I’m more concerned about possibly losing Carr.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
I agree with this.
We finally have the defense right and thats more then we can say about the offense so I think its more important to keep Carr to maintain the defense then it is to keep Bowe.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
Offense sucked even with Bowe.
I’m not putting that on him, but just saying our bread is buttered on the defensive side, and we can’t take a step back there.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
No passing game without Bowe
Baldwin hasn’t showed anything. Bowe is more important.
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
I think Baldwin will be better now that he doesnt get his hand broken in a lame fight
Ren - January 9, 2012
Baldwin, Breaston, Moeaki
and a WR to be named later. Plus Charles coming back. Obviously you’d like to keep Bowe, but I don’t think it’s the end of the world if they lose him.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Why do people keep naming Baldwin?
He hasn’t showed anything…. Our first star wide receiver since… hell i don’t know. We need to keep him.
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
Him=Bowe
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
and lets not forgot
how great our passing game was in the 2nd half of the broncos game…..yeah Bowe doesnt need to be resigned….these people kill me.
CWil03 - January 9, 2012
I don't think anyones suggesting they dont want him re-signed
I think they’re saying that Carr is more important.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
but
people act like losing Bowe is no big deal
CWil03 - January 9, 2012
Exactly
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
Am I really alive? Who are you? Who am I?
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
... I'm a lil confused
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
I put that more on Muir than anything.
They didn’t even try to attack, and basically played not to lose the entire second half. Of course, it worked.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
I wouldn't say that he hasn't shown anything.
He had that AMAZING catch on the back of a defender (which didn’t count b/c of a penalty), and he had 4 games of Tyler Palko as a QB.
aasukisuki - January 9, 2012
And no training camp or practice for 6-8 weeks.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
And no offseason conditioning(which is probably the #1 thing he needs)
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
Bowe or Breaston didn't have an off season either
And they did just fine
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
Because they're rookie WRs?
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
No
But AJ Green and Julio Jones are
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
Who busted their hands?
electriclight - January 9, 2012
Ask them
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
Baldwin #1, Breaston #2, Moeaki
and DMC in the Slot
aasukisuki - January 9, 2012
i personally
would like to see us use Baldwin like NE uses Aaron Hernandez
CWil03 - January 9, 2012
I would like to use Dwayne Allen like NE uses Aaron Hernandez
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
or Gronkowski
upamtn - January 9, 2012
Denver - good luck with the Gronk next week
Ren - January 9, 2012
Moeaki is our Gronk
Allen is more of a Hernandez since neither of them can really block much.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
Mo Mo gets hurt too much though
He is the same when healthy
Ren - January 9, 2012
I had that dream again
where we went to the SB only to find out we’re tebow
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
Dwayne Allen, or even Colby Fleener ...
would make a more viable target for Matty than Bowe. 5-8 yd passes to receivers that are taller than Sasquatch, slower than frozen molasses, and with a catch radius as big as the broadside of a barn … and just hope they can get an extra 5-6 YAC consistently. Yep! Yep!
LocoLoboChico - January 9, 2012
Don't forget
run DMC
GaryfromIA - January 9, 2012
Possibly
But we still don’t know. That’s why we NEED to keep Bowe
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
I would be pissed
He’s our second most important offensive player in my opinion
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
yep might as well let JC go to
At that point the Offense is done with and they can just replace the rest with guys off the street
CorFueled - January 9, 2012
After Thomas Jones?
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Wrong
After Barry Richardson
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
no, Tyler Palko
who showed us that Cassel is NOT “the worst QB in the NFL” … that’s a “valuable” lesson
upamtn - January 9, 2012
Touche'
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Does anybody else tune out when Piolo speaks?
I know he isnt going to say anything, so I just wait for the sweet sound of RAC’s vocal chords
KCJayhawk - January 9, 2012
Given the terrible questions lobbed in his direction
There’s no wonder he avoids answering them. My goodness…
cheapham - January 9, 2012
Process we talking about process
I hate that word now
BuckeyeChiefFan - January 9, 2012
that's how the process works
upamtn - January 9, 2012
Sounds like Alan Iverson
golfbard - January 9, 2012
Practice?
cheapham - January 9, 2012
Allen Iverson?
Falcon58 - January 9, 2012
Zorn
will be OC
chiefs316 - January 9, 2012
I doubt it.
He’s never been an OC before.
aasukisuki - January 9, 2012
He was for about a month with Washington
Before they promoted him to HC. THAT’S how good of an OC he is!
cheapham - January 9, 2012
Looking at his resume...
… Zorn has been and has coached winners. Maybe now is the time to get him a shot at OC?
Pacific Chief - January 9, 2012
And if there was a place for him to get his 1st shot...
you bet your ass it’d be with the Chiefs.
R2J_24 - January 9, 2012
Thats right
He tried to do it while being HC and failed
chiefs316 - January 9, 2012
Sooo..
I’m convinced that if we don’t sign Bowe and Carr, we don’t want to win the division and are striving for a championship in the future.
BuckeyeChiefFan - January 9, 2012
are not striving for a championship oops
BuckeyeChiefFan - January 9, 2012
agreed
Pacific Chief - January 9, 2012
but we still have Copper!
instant win!!!
upamtn - January 9, 2012
Really.
You think that defines whether or not they want to win?
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Somewhat
When you have so much cap room you can easily sign two stars on your team for a while and you don’t when it is in the best interest of your team, it doesn’t make sense. Unless we sign some star CB and WR instead. Im not sold on Baldwin yet although he has looked good at time but bad also.
BuckeyeChiefFan - January 9, 2012
Why let them go?
If you don’t sign the best then you are not committed to winning. Why upset continuity with new heads when you have Pro Bowlers already?
Pacific Chief - January 9, 2012
Exactly
LookListenLearn - January 9, 2012
I agree.
I don’t want to sign some other CB/WR. I want the people we drafted and developed to stay he forever. Bowe and Carr are special and if Pioli can’t see it, then that is just sad.
BuckeyeChiefFan - January 9, 2012
Should he just give them a blank check
and let them fill it in?
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
I'd like one of those
upamtn - January 9, 2012
-
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
you forgot to have Clark sign it!
upamtn - January 9, 2012
He's too cheap.
Haven’t you heard?
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
he spurges on a few and screw the rest
if total spent= less than cap. That means cheap
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
Yes!
Someone that gets it! You keep your fan fave players – or some of them anyway; depending upon what they will cost in toto – which are the real reasons the fans show up – plus they also sell the most merchandise. And hire vet and league minimum scrubs to offset the cost. That’s just good business. Like this one guy had for his sig line: “The Chiefs selling profitable mediocrity since 1969.”
LocoLoboChico - January 9, 2012
Just give me an American Express Black Card...
… and cover the monthly balance and we good :P
Pacific Chief - January 9, 2012
let's just spurge on a bunch of good players and win us a SB
then we can declare bankruptcy the next year
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
Well hell if BK was an option we should have done that years ago
Ren - January 9, 2012
bankruptcy is always an option
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
it has nothing to do with splurging...
…just keeping our homegrown ProBowlers as Chiefs. Why take the risk on new talent when we have the pieces in place already?
Pacific Chief - January 9, 2012
cheaper
and we could get some money back too
like the royals, our farm systems made a bunch of good players
but we sold them for money
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
@ Tarkus...
… Of course not, but we have all pieces in place. It’s up to the GM to keep talented Chiefs on the roster. Pay them what they are worth, you know what you are getting. Anything else would be a gamble, and that’s not in the Chiefs best interests.
Pacific Chief - January 9, 2012
How do you know he's not wanting to pay them what they're worth?
Who determines what they’re worth anyway?
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
worth=how much someone is willing to pay
so how much are we willing to pay?
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
What we think they're worth.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
too much
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
I believe worth ...
… is determined by on field performance compared with others at your position.
Pacific Chief - January 9, 2012
Maybe Bowe doesn't want to play here anymore.
At any price. Anyone considered that?
Scott B. - January 9, 2012
By whose determination?
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
by whoever is willing to pay them
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
IOW, each team.
That’s what I’m saying, that the Chiefs will pay them what they think they’re worth, but they’re not going to give them a blank check, just because they’re homegrown talent.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
I say we offer him a deal and we see what everyone else is offering
let’s start with his current paycheck
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
His own
I’m just saying it’s possible that he might want to go play somewhere else.
Scott B. - January 9, 2012
That's not really true.
He can only get what someone is willing to pay.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
That's been my problem too.
electriclight - January 9, 2012
agreed
chiefs316 - January 9, 2012
Need
To try to get RG3, wont be cheap
chiefs316 - January 9, 2012
So now are they forced to fill the cap space?
because Clark was still spouting off about drafting players and not signing people in FA
CorFueled - January 9, 2012
Clark is cheap - we just need to deal with it
Ren - January 9, 2012
Clark just paid a kicker 3.5M$/year
And our best pass rusher 60 million.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
well if he hold true then
we should pay Peyton 65 mil
Ren - January 9, 2012
per game
upamtn - January 9, 2012
yes...perfect
Ren - January 9, 2012
i dont think he is cheap
And i dont mind not over paying for free agents, but he needs to stick to his word when he says we want to draft and develop our own guys. Losing Carr and/or Bowe would go against what he is saying
CWil03 - January 9, 2012
Both of those guys probably can command more in the open market
Ren - January 9, 2012
maybe bowe can join the falcons and lose more games
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
I really think a top WR will push them over the top.
GenericBrand - January 9, 2012
they have julio jones
but it’s more on matty fail than anybody else
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
Same situation as here in KC
Offensive talent to spare… can’t find the endzone with both hands.
Falcon58 - January 9, 2012
They need a more dynamic backfield
ArrowSpread - January 9, 2012
Nope! Another TE! ;=)
LocoLoboChico - January 9, 2012
Did they even target Tony G. more than once?
electriclight - January 9, 2012
After SD kept Turner
I guess it was too much to ask for another AFC West team to be stupid with the head coach decision. You will never regret not hiring McDaniels. Crennel is a high quality hire. Congrats!
Now, if you keep Orton, well……
margabelle - January 9, 2012
thanks! good luck next week in New England (you'll kinda need it) ... nice game yesterday, too
upamtn - January 9, 2012
I feel like smoking crack, that way pioli talk sounds normal
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
You may understand what he says too
Ren - January 9, 2012
I remember taking LSD in my youth
not a wise thing to do
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
right. shrooms were much better.
neiowakcfan - January 9, 2012
never want to take LSD in your youth
orally is the only way to go with that
upamtn - January 9, 2012
Uhhh ... what other way is there to drop acid??
LocoLoboChico - January 9, 2012
In your eyeball?
electriclight - January 9, 2012
Ewww ... no way, Jose!
That’s just crazy!
LocoLoboChico - January 9, 2012
It's been done.
Both eyeballs.
neiowakcfan - January 9, 2012
Was that Pioli speaking?
All I heard was “something something something Dark Side. Something something something complete”
Pacific Chief - January 9, 2012
the force is strong with this one
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
Some idiot on the radio just called Romeo an Uncle Tom...
some people should just not be allowed to open their mouth
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
what if RAC real name was tom and he had neices and newphews?
could we call him an uncle tom?
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
Lol
What a maroon…ala Bugs Bunny
Pacific Chief - January 9, 2012
he wanted to say that Romeo will be a "yes man" to Pioli...
instead he said he is going to be an Uncle Tom….fuggin idiot
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
will say it 1 more time
If this team expects to march Cassel out next season as the starting QB, I will not spend a dime on anything Chiefs related. Not tickets, Not shirts, NOTHING. I will miss my extended family in 306 but enough is enough.
BucktheFroncos - January 9, 2012
would you spurge on crack PB&J?
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
yeah I do not want to see cassel as the starting QB
Ren - January 9, 2012
isn't it about time for someone to do a 75 word Fanpost about the Crennel hire?
with an approval poll, of course …
upamtn - January 9, 2012
in the words of the late great Colonel Sanders
I’m too drunk to taste this chicken
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
And when the corp big wigs took over his business and started franchising it
He said the gravy tasted like wallpaper paste. He was a smart man, lol.
LocoLoboChico - January 9, 2012
you better do it before i do!
and Ill get ALLLLL the glory
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
no, no ... you, please
I insist!
upamtn - January 9, 2012
I was thinking of skipping the words and just have the poll
Ren - January 9, 2012
i dont feel like being famous today
KCinAZ - January 9, 2012
Pioli + Cassel = BFF :)
If Pioli cant detach himself from Cassel, he digging his own grave. Call a mulligan, and try again. Cassel aint it.
ArrowDread - January 9, 2012
but he did lead us to the playoffs.....
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
He did?!?
I remember JC getting us in the playoffs last year, and the QB falling on his face vs Baltimore
ArrowDread - January 9, 2012
jesus christ? No that's tebow. Sorry bro
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
to much spam on this board
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
Stuff Posing As Meat
upamtn - January 9, 2012
I've never heard that before... I just laughed out loud. Wow.
Falcon58 - January 9, 2012
I want to say it was Foxworthy ... awesome routine on "broke food"
upamtn - January 9, 2012
rec'd
gotta be green
58 was my friend - January 9, 2012
Check the expiration date very carefully.
Tarkus - January 9, 2012
Chiefshero - January 9, 2012
I'm imagining him saying this in that sweet effeminate voice of his.
“No sis, I’m not mad. Thomas won that game. Not you.”
Falcon58 - January 9, 2012
I enjoyed the Denver troll
and his “umadbro” posts. While I didn’t respond, all I could think was “Hell no! We get to play Denver twice again next year!”
neiowakcfan - January 9, 2012
Brady: Imma kick your ass real badd if I see you in the playoffs
different stadium, different date BUT SAME RESULTS – Guaranteed!!!
