My 9th Grand-kid is getting baptized this week.

You mother****er.

Now I'm down 1...

I think this is a postive thing as it forces us to really know what we have in our young WRs. If there is one position group that we have struggled with as a franchise it's WR. Give these young guys an huge opportunity and see who emerges.

Well if this doesn't validate the move, I don't know what does.

Just my opinion, but even before this move I was on record saying that the Chiefs best Super Bowl window will likely come between 2018-2020 with Mahomes on a cheap contract. This move just reinforces the idea that the FO feels the same way.

They are going to make the remaining cuts next offseason to launch us into the Mahomes era (Smith, Hali, DJ, etc). Use the cap room to extend the young guys who you want around to help lead in the Mahomes era (Peters, Ford, Hill, etc). Use a little bit of the cap room to sign the few FAs who might get your roster over the hump, much like Seattle and Denver did before their SB runs.

Dorsey and Reid know what many of us on here have already known as well-- it's all about what is best for the Mahomes era now.

There might be some truth to this...it's hard to bench a veteran $10m WR that's underachieving. He was their FA prize two years ago. What ever was Maclin's issue last year, they obviously felt they could get similar production on the cheap going forward. He was brought in to offset Bowe's departure. I guess it played it's course. Hill made him expendable.

They must like what they are seeing out of Robinson in OTAs.

It's a very shrewd move..similar to how the Patriots roll. Most teams cut declining players a year too late or wont admit to a contractual mistake. The are gambling on the young WRs to step-up.

The fact that Alex doesn't doink hail marys off the goal post, or throw a flea flicker into a lineman's back is not a mark against him.

At least Cassel's reeruned shit was funny and entertaining. Smith's is just infuriating.
Oh well, at least they will BOTH be members of the has-been garbage pile.

- Chiefs have a good record with Alex Smith as their QB - doesn't matter wins and losses are a team accomplishment
-Chiefs lose to the Colts in the playoffs despite scoring 44 pts - we lost because of Alex Smith
-Chiefs run D gives up a lot of yds to the Steelers in a playoff gm - Alex Smiths fault
- Maclin gets cut - Alex Smiths fault
- Your wife cheats on you - Alex Smiths fault



Let me guess the crisis with North Korea is Alex Smith's fault too?

ROFL Thank god this putrid episode of Chiefs football will soon be history. I can only hope that 2PM educates a bunch of sorely lacking knob-gobblers about what it means to have your very own QB that can do more than check-down, stare-down, and be dragged to victory by a team whose individual players possess more talent in their urine specimen than the QB ever will.

Well, he was no Dwayne Bowe, but I guess he had a few moments that were big for us.

Nah, can't really think of any of those. Maybe they'll come to me.

There was that one catch that helped the Chiefs beat Pittsb.....well, I guess not.

Bewbies 06-03-2017 01:28 PM

The only shot we had at a Super Bowl this year involved lots of horrific QB injuries, so I'm not thinking this changes our season all that much.

I hope he's done, cause I enjoyed watching him when he was on the field once in awhile. If he has a great year somewhere sadface.

Red Dawg 06-03-2017 01:28 PM

We don't need Maclin and his 12 mill, it's that simple. We have youth at WR that need to play if for nothing else so that in 18 they know what they are doing when Mahomes starts.

Maclin is hardly worth his pay in this offense. Smith makes it look even worse paying his salary.

Great point.

The sacrifices we make now will pay huge dividends for Mahomes in '18.

2017 is a 16-game preseason. Get those reps in, boys. You're all competing for starting jobs in 2018.

No...Cassel was horribly inaccurate. He was most certainly NOT entertaining.
