Stephen A Smith interviewed Kareem on his show today and Kareem had high praise for Alex but you could hear this enthusiasm go up a notch when talking about Mahomes.

There's no way it ever got anywhere even remotely serious if we're just hearing it now.

As a redskins fan and growing up there. Wilbon is useless. Just a contrarian.

Lifetime redskins an here and losing Fuller is what kills. Guy will be perennial pro bowler. Rated elite on pro football focus. You guys bent us over.

None and Fuller is 22.

I'd definitely take Jacksonville (Ramsey/Bouye), but that's it I think.

we have been on the other side of trades way more so this is a change for us. But, we know all too well what your feeling.

You avoided paying millions more to Cousins, which you can now use on other players.

Maybe
Fuller in his second year used to lead extra video review time. Student of the game. Two older brothers in NFL. not sure those two as smart.

What exactly does this mean and what are you basing it on?

Yeah they avoided giving Cousins $25-$30M a year in favor of giving a lesser QB $23.5M a year.

Had they locked up Cousins two years ago, he'd be making what Smith is now.

Not to mention that they paid him franchise tag money for 2 years. If they signed him then, his cap hit would probably be the same as Smith's will be.

Pederson: I hate that we'll face Alex Smith twice a year

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...h-twice-a-year

Some buffoon just asked for an Alex Smith tribute video. LMAO LMAO LMAO

I'll give you a "tribute" alright, one who sucks the penis...just wait til Saturday.

It all counts.

What do you expect him to say? I am sure glad I get to face a risk aversion game manager twice a year yee ha? It's like you people don't get sports in general. Name an nfl coach who trashed an active player he worked with?
Coaches in all sports do this. Basketball coaches tell you how all world their 20 point underdog opponent is. Ring a bell kansas fans? All coaches talk like that.

"I don't think we're talking enough about how big an acquisition Kendall Fuller is for the Chiefs. Assuming Eric Berry is back and healthy, no team in the NFL will add more to its secondary than Kansas City is adding with Fuller and Berry in 2018." - @MichaelDavSmith (Pro Football Talk)

It's the third time he's not worried about.

That's Wilbon's shtick though. Thinks he's a tough guy just because he's from Chicago. Values "What have you done for me lately?!" over taking a risk and winning or losing big. He's like that in every ****ing sport.

After the 2017 draft he was ****ing furious about Mitch Trubisky. ****ing livid. Even went so far to say, "Even if Trubisky ends up being great, I do not support this move, because it's such a pointless and stupid risk."

You can hate on Trubisky as a prospect. You can say the Bears gave up too much to get him. You can say there is no plan or direction in Chicago based on the fact that just over a month prior they gave $18 million to Ostrich Neck Boy. But to say, "I support Chicago sports and have for all of my life and I will never support Trubisky even if he's great" is just... wow. It's dumb.

Veach is a major blessing. Opportunistic and outside the box thinking getting Ragland, Irving, and KPL. Now the Smith trade and all it allows...amazing job.

You don’t go cutting Ford though, no way. As has been said he is in a contact year. Plus say they do acquire a couple guys and feel comfortable moving on from him you wait. You wait until the draft when all the pass rushers in free agency are long gone and the first round is over and the second day is going on and teams with needs miss out on players they wanted you can dangle him for a 3rd or 4th if you want and see what happens. They just cleared cap room trading Alex. Yes there’s going to be more but get them replaced before you go just cutting guys.

Cut Tamba and Zombo and Revis right off the bat to clear some more room. Then probably DJ. He could possibly contribute another year in the same role rotating with KPL ( if resigned) or Eligwe. At the right price and only the right price. I don’t see Veach going the route Dorsey did with Tamba a couple years ago and have no plan in place to replace him and get screwed over paying a popular yet declining vet. Bailey they can still get production out of and if they don’t need him to start even better. He’s playing a bit heavy at around 305-310 when he’s better about 295ish and quicker as an inside rusher on pass down. Parker I would like to see replaced but if they have to squeeze another year from him because they can’t find a starter his cap# doesn’t kill you. Same with West and Harris. Find their replacement first then move on.

Both those guys cover and actually hit and tackle so yea.

:whackit::whackit::whackit:

:whackit::whackit::whackit: :whackit::whackit::whackit:

Yeah that's nice; we don't want you.

The poster "Kaepernick" was right about you from the get-go, 'Snoopy'.

Bret Veach has made forgetting John Dorsey sooooooooo easy.

He might be my favorite personnel man of all-time if he keeps trending in his current direction. You have to give the innovation, the approach, and the results to Stram, Steadman, and Hunt at this point because they hold the jewelry, but if Veach navigates this current incarnation of Chiefs football to a Super Bowl victory, then there is no doubt that he should be crowned King.*


***** Carl Forever

I was looking at my boner and noticed it had another boner coming out of it.

Why not both?

You might want to see a dr for that. That’s abnormal.

LMAO

Good thought, but it has one major flaw... there’s no way Andy chucked a bag of Jack In the Box. I mean, if his wife packed him a salad that day, then you can bet your ass there was lettuce all over that room. But, Jack In the Box? I’m just not seeing it.

Veech pulled off a miracle getting Fuller. He pulled the trigger on a good deal early before anyone can look at the market or the draft and change their minds. He was bold and confident. Fantastic job

Carl drafted three Hall of Famers in his first 8 years and two in his first four.

Things went sour in his second decade in the job but he wasn’t the reason the Chiefs failed from 1989-2005.

Fair enough, but he was never aggressive, did NOTHING in regards to drafting and developing a legitimate QB prospect, and outlived his usefulness.


Not to mention, he was the king purveyor of sappy, sentimental, 'fan favorite'-retention of players that should have been cut or traded when there were better opportunities, and when THEY outlived THEIR usefulness.

He traded what was essentially a worthless 1st round pick for Joe Montana and signed Marcus Allen.

He was terrible with Herm from 2006-2008 but otherwise, he did the bidding of his head coach.

Jared Allen is a HOFer.

Tamba Hali is a Chiefs HOFer.

How many of that era of players( Charles, Hali, Flowers, Albert etc. ) can we attribute to Herm? Seems like the philosophy changed somewhat upon his arrival, and I'm not referring to the "youth movement" of Herm vs. Vermiel's preference of veterans, I'm recalling that we began to score pretty well on large sweeps across the draft board, top to bottom.

IMO, Carl should have left with Marty. They came in as a team, and should have left as one. Both were clearly past their expiration dates as Chiefs personnel. Had Carl not lingered, he could have possibly rejuvinated his career as Marty did briefly with San Diego.

Sure, Dougy. I'm sure you with your franchise QB and elite D are shaking in your boots.

I guarantee Dee Ford does not play much next year due to the back injury. We will pay him 8 million to be this year's tamba Hali

Time to let go Clay.

The baptisimal waters of the Mahomes river will wash away the Smith scars.

We are re-born.

It's not that, Pitt. Pederson simply recalls the excruciating pain one has to endure when watching Smith attempt to play the game of football.

It's enough to make even the most zealous football fan hurl their $10.00 nachos all over the persons sitting next to them!

wakka-wakka-wakka! :)

What a shitty ****ing pick that has turned out to be.

The thing I'm second most excited about in regards to the offense, will be observing how the casual fan jumps to their feet and proclaims a Moses-level miracle at how "great the O-line has become"!

IT'S A MIRACLE!

ROFL

Now I might go to some games next year..

Opening. ****ING. Day.

The crowd is going to be so loud if Mahomes comes out and leads us to 6 on his first possession.

this morning at work, another driver where i work arrived. oddly for whatever reason he is a browns fan. we have spoken all year about mahomes and smith. he would have liked smith in cleveland. didn't know about the trade.

i approached him with this beauty:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n6RoOwSKI7M" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

My uncle is a Redskins fan and he's laughing about this trade, thinks the Skins are idiots and that it's Donovan Part II.

He hopes the Skins tag and trade Cousins. Weird thought imo, but I think they have the cap to do just that if they wanted to. I'd find it hard to believe it would happen though.

We had the curse of sf qbs they have the curse of andy reid's leftovers.

I'm planning a vacation going to Training Camp at St. Joseph & I'm taking my fishing gear so I can fish the Missouri River also. It's going be fun watching Patrick take all first team reps.

Same here, haven't gone to game in years because of the shitshow we've had over a decade

So you know more then the Chief's medical staff, coaches, and GM about Ford's health?

Interesting.

Alex is going to wish he picked the Browns instead of the Redskins. The Cleveland fans will hail him as a God if he gets them to 6-10 next season whereas the Washington fans will run him out of town on a rail before Halloween arrives. He's going to find out real fast that he not playing in front of cordial Midwest fans anymore. Welcome to the real world Alex, you picked your own poison.

Alex Smith is going be Redskins very own Matt Cassell. He had one good season in him and it's going be down hill from there.

nope just speculating, but back injuries are a definite career long issue in most players. Its the same thing as you guys saying he will have a great year because its a contract year. So, you know for sure that he will be a stud just because he is playing for a contract?

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...ll-celtics.jpg

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/6e/52/90/6...he-vikings.jpg

I think he'll be more of a Grilbac.

He'll have a lot of potential, perhaps one career year, but accomplish nothing...

Hey, where's my pos rep at, you summana bitch?!? :)

:)

No but if you look at “because Chiefs” history there’s more of a chance he doesn’t play or perform vs he does something of substance.

Plus we’re talking about Dee Ford right? That alone means we’re probably right.

Outside of a 6 game flash of talent he's been a huge waste of a draft pick (in any round...)

What's Sam Cassel got to do with this?

I haven't said that but it does fit an actual historic trend. My point is they arent going to pay him if they think his back is too jacked up to play, he can still be cut and save the $8MM.

What exactly is Ford's back injury?

"because Chiefs history" says we won't draft a QB in the 1st round or start a young drafted QB too correct? :D

I'm sorry I'm not sorry for the bump, but this thread shouldn't be on the 2nd page.

Ever.

His contract is guaranteed for injury so if his back is too messed up to play, he receives his entire salary in 2018, whether they cut him or not.

This needs to be stickied.

ESTO

One thing I don't see mentioned much is what smith is walking into as far as DC media is concerned.
I don't view SF media or kc media being exactly harsh.
But DC? It could be brutal.

Hell, all the ill will will go towards Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder. They've had 13 years to see what Alex Smith is.

This thread is about the positive. **** Squirmin Herman Motherfuccking Sack of **** Edwards.

and put in the Hall of Fame someday.

This has probably been posted by WOW. Denver offered Talib and a 2cd for Smith.....

http://www.12up.com/posts/5964723-re...th?a_aid=36553

As does the Mahomes thread.

The funny thing is, we could still grab Talib.

I went to the last three games (the last being the crushing loss that only Clark and Andy could blow off), so let's hope all of these moves are a sign that Clark isn't the ass we've grown accustom to.

@DanHellie: At @EASPORTS Super Bowl party. Travis Kelce playing Alvin Kamara in Madden and the first thing Kelce does is bench Alex Smith for Pat Mahomes [emoji23][emoji23]

Holy shit. LMAO

I distinctly remember in Kelce's video from Tuesday that he said he'd be giving Kamara a heavy dose of Alex Smith and Justin Houston. Guess not!

That’s ****ing epic.
