Love your signature photo!

Sometimes, sure. He's a good coverage safety. I don't know if all the success has tainted people's perceptions of our players or if they just don't pay attention to the rest of the league.

Let's just look at this statistically... No wizard metrics
Bryan Cook gave up: 61.7% comp, 397 yards, 13.7 ypc, 3 TDs, 2 INTs, 6.0% missed tackles

Here's a listing of some of the better and more well-known FS's in the NFL
Camryn Bynum: 61.5% comp, 442 yards, 13.8 ypc, 2 TDs, 3 INTs, 6.8% missed tackles
Jevon Holland: 54.2% comp, 321 yards, 12.3 ypc, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, 8.8% missed tackles
Kyle Hamilton: 72.4% comp, 326 yards, 7.8 ypc, 1 TD, 1 INT, 7.8% missed tackles - AP-2, PB
Budda Baker: 74.3% comp, 608 yards, 11.1 ypc, 7 TD, 0 INT, 9.9% missed tackles - AP-2 and PB
Geno Stone: 66.7% comp, 312 yards, 14.2 ypc, 5 TD, 4 INT, 15.6% missed tackles

Harrison Smith: 66.2% comp, 506 yards, 11.8 ypc, 4 TD, 3 INT, 9.4% missed tackles
Kerby Joseph: 44.2% comp, 330 yards, 17.4 ypc, 1 TD, 9 INT, 5.7% missed tackles - AP-1, PB

It sure looks like he fits in the better of that group, which includes 2 guys that made AP-2nd team.

Looks a lot like Camryn Bynum who was a priority FA and got 4/60 this year.

Wow, guess I missed that. I thought Reid did a great job.

That is more in line with what I remember.

He dropped off hard last season in coverage. Statistically, he went from a career low 60's completion percentage against to 77.4% and gave up 502 yards. Easily career worsts for him.

I think name recognition factors hard sometimes, and we tend to look past the reality. Look at the AP-2 guys from last year at Safety. Purely name, not performance.

I've been as guilty as anyone so I won't pretend not to be.

Charger fans seem to think he sucks

but if anyone can coach him up it's the Chiefs

You guys really need to stop basing your opinions off of what random opposing fans on a message board say.

The “he sucks unless we sign him” post has become a running joke around here, but it didn’t come from nowhere.

That’s absolutely the thought process of the average message board fan.

it's not an opinion its what they seem to be saying is all I said. I don't know much about non-Chief players unless they are really good or I notice them when they are playing the Chiefs.

Have you submitted a picture of your junk next to a stick of deodorant to Titty Meat, and PM’d Bob Dole yet to confirm your membership?

Honestly I REALLY wanna see the kid get a fair shot at FS.

I think he might be the best pure coverage safety we have on the roster.

If Titans fans wanna shit on him, I get that. His last couple years there were disappointing.

Chargers fans? They can take their sour grapes and **** all the way off. He was genuinely good for them last season.

Conner at FS and Hicks at SS feels like the future. I think a big part of this signing is it allows McDuffie and Conner to play where they are most comfortable. It was basically like improving three positions for the price of one.

That’s why Veach is a 4D chess wizard.

Dave Merritt is the best DB coach in the league. This dude will take his game up a notch.

Also it’s true
