You are overvalueing (sp?) the TE position in general here. TG is a great player but most teams don't make their TE the primary recieving option for an offense for 12 seasons.

And what are we out?

We won SIX games in the last 2 years, WITH Tony.

His production didn't translate into wins.

If this team wins 6 or 7 games this season, without Tony, NOBODY is gonna notice that his production is missing. NOBODY.

hence our offense will suffer JFC thats all I wanted to hear.

Look this year the real value left is on the line, lets use the mid rounds to build our lines, it only makes to much sense.

You think we can win 6-7 games with this squad?????

100% agree.

Yeah, maybe. You said "hurts the CHIEFS", not "hurts the chiefs' offensive production". I was looking at the big picture.

It's not really about this year...this is the first year.

This question would be the exact same, with or without Gonzo.

How many more games do you think we would have won last season with a DE of Tony's caliber on the defense?

LISTEN.

The loss of Tony is OFFSET BY THE LOSS OF TYLER ****ING THIGPEN.

It's absolutely EASY to see how our offense will be EXACTLY AS EFFECTIVE AS IT WAS LAST YEAR, and possibly BETTER if we continue to build the offensive line.

He's a goddamn TE and that's all there is to it.

I do, but that's beside the point.

I said "IF" the team wins 6 or 7 games.

And the point stands.

IF this team wins 6 or 7 games, nobody besides you is going to miss a ****ing middle-aged tight end.

The same Thigpen whom many believe is a GREAT backup? ROFL

can't argue with that.

so if we win 6-7 games with a 29 ranked offense your not going to miss tony g THIS YEAR...?
