Love ya buddy! Cheers!

I like to think we all make that Utah-loving sack o crap happy.

shout out to him, too. Wherever the particles that comprised his being are now.

To praise those still present:

I like to think of Chiefsplanet as being better than the average message board. More in depth. Capable of analysis beyond "My team good hurr durr."

And the folks cited here are a big part of that.

Hell yeah, bud. I like to think we’re the more respectful side of CP. The opposite DC.

Back at you kccrow! :toast:

And the rest of the list too!

You’re the real MVP, but appreciate it man.

That’s a group that isn’t afraid of being wrong and has their opinion stamped on almost every move this franchise has made in the modern era.

Kudos

:(

I got you bro. I know I"ll have missed a few

Right on brotha! This is draft forum is my #1 most visited webpage lol

I'm addicted to progress, and back in the dark days draft day was our best shot at improving!

Cheers!

Crow, you missed a name! "Kccrow" needs to be near the top of that list!

My dawgs!

If you slide into my DM's, I'm sure we could find a truck stop bathroom to meet up in and congratulate each other ifyouknowwhatimeanandithinkyoudo

Still feel like a newbie so thanks for making me welcome man!

Honored to be mentioned amongst such a list! Appreciate all your input Crow. This really is the best place to talk football and I love being part of it.

It all hinges on me, naturally

Crow is the man! Good times on cp! I always enjoy the analysis!

Thanks for pointing out his mistake. I took care of that for him.

I don't think I have that much additional insight.

I do believe that Caleb Williams will be a bust because USC QB.

I certainly appreciate the actual football discussion!

Appreciate the inclusion, but other than the production per unit salary cap hill I die on, I contribute nothing.

I do read a lot here though, and I certainly appreciate the input of guys that know what they’re talking about here.

I tried to look at the chiefs subreddit and it is fairly bullshit. I honestly appreciate the community here. Keep up the good work guys.

The Chiefs subreddit is good for memes and that's about it. 99% of the opinions are hot ****ing garbage and they border on bringing every one of our FAs back...whether they suck or not. They really don't know shit about draft prospects either.

Thanks crow!! I’d like to think I bring the art of sarcasm to this board and really enjoy your takes, along with all my other CP brother-n.

/just waiting for my name to show up……..

Next year I want to have a thread where we all detail what/how we are prepping as it leads up to the draft.

Last year we had a thread about what sort of tasks y’all do as you research and stuff, and I found that helpful. Next year would be cool to share progress as it happens:

“Today I looked at “x” position for an hour,” or “I read so-and-so’s article today about who should go where.”

I just think it would be cool to see how you guys all do it, as you do it.

Thanks Crow! Right back at ya.
Appreciate all the wisdom and knowledge you drop on this board!

This has been one of the better draft seasons on this forum.

Thankful for the forum, for the yeoman's work kccrow does, and the fun conversation the rest of us have.

Crow, you are the conductor on this hype train. Appreciate you

Appreciate everyone's insights and takes in here! You blockheads combines are generally as accurate or more than the paid talking heads out there.

I know football somewhat, but I'm novice level compared to the minds in here (minus Pestilence. He's just a Notre Dame honk. Lol).

If you think there's bad stay away from Facebook.

Truth, lol

Appreciate the feedback guys but I really just wanted to recognize the guys I believe bring a lot to the forum consistently and also don't act like gigantic dicks (all of the time) to do it.

There are some more posters I don't lack respect for or anything like that but I feel like this is the group that's consistent about discussing the things I think the board was meant for.

So I guess that's the thing for me. 1) Don't be a dick 2) Talk a lot about football 3) If you can't do #2 at least bring some depth of insight in other areas without violating #1.

Damn appreciate making the list but I don't feel like I belong as much as others. Some years I have more time to really dig deep into the draft and others I rely a lot on what people on this list bring up in here. This used to be my favorite time of the year because I actually got excited to see who we were drafting, now its my 2nd favorite time of the year after winning super bowls. Crazy how far we have come.

:(

Honored and appreciated. And the feeling's mutual for everyone on the list. The arguments/conversations you guys take part in are exactly why I joined in the first place. Thanks to all for making CP a place I want to visit. Sometimes too much, but that's a different story.

Yeah I respect a lot of the time and effort many of you put into this. Talking football is a nice break from the shit show that is society.

Even if we disagree it makes for good banter.

Nice post kccrow.

Thanks for putting in the work on these players and sharing.

Fixed it for you.

Facebook is infected with ****ing tardholes that literally ****ing ruin everything.

Oh and ads.

Why am I crossed out? What the ass?

I do believe that was one of our great moderators hahaha

The sad thing is the draft forum is about to hit hibernation again. I’m going to try to be more active in here this year but it sure slows down.

ROFL

Thats a pretty good list!

Appreciate ya!

Better than any shit show on TeeVee!

I'm just upset at the intimation that I don't act like a gigantic dick all the time.

I need to try harder...

The fact it took you that long to figure it out is telling.

I always remember how much the vast majority of the board hated the draft talk when the team was terrible.

That was because we would be screaming out prospects that they should draft....and then they wouldn't. And then said prospects would go on to be good players while we drafted complete trash.

There was actually no more frustrating time than the Pioli era, when a team has a completely different philosophy than you it's difficult.

I mean Peterson sucked but he picked like he didn't even try.

I've mentioned this before but about 7-8 years ago I was pretty content taking my hand off the wheel for this very reason.

It became apparent to me that, even if they don't always execute the plan the same way I would, this front office shared an identical philosophy to me and man, that makes things so much easier.

I contrast them to the Blues who simply don't share my philosphy on hockey - but y'know, they won a Cup with this 'sandpaper' shit that Armstrong and Berube love. Still means that I'm gonna be less content with anything they do, though. Even when hindsight says they executed their plan perfectly.

Then there are the Cardinals, who neither share my philosophy nor are they particularly good at executing their own.

But yeah - just having an organization that you are on the same page with is nice. My buddy is a die hard '3 yards and a cloud of dust' guy and he just wrings his hand over some of this stuff much in the same way as I used to do under Herm and Pioli. Because even when they get it right - you hate what they're building either way.

How many times in the last couple of years have the Chiefs done something or hadn't done something, and you say to yourself: "man, I don't know why they did it that way, but they have a plan and it's going to work."

Doesn't stop me from criticizing and talking about it, but that's the general sense I get.

Like: if the Chiefs take a tackle in the first round this year, I think it's a mistake. But it means Reid sees something, and I'm good with that.

When the Chiefs literally draft the guy I would in like the 4th round I know I can relax, me and STaylor were talking about Sneed in the draft thread and they took him it was like man stuff like that is so nice.

Right.

Even a pick I didn't like - Moore - is one that demonstrated a plan that I absolutely loved. Using the draft to build a deep, talented, cost-controlled WR corps in an era where WR contracts seem likely to explode to untenable levels.

It was a great plan and even when I didn't agree with the execution of it, it at least provides some comfort knowing that the plan is sound and they'll keep at it - sooner or later they'll get it right.

Yep. It was Joshua Williams for me.

Nice, I wasn't on him at all.

Thanks again, guys.

I'm checking out for a while or until the mods do something about all the trolls and complete assholes, whichever I feel is best.

I think staylor, boss and direckshun know where I'll be.

Peace.

Asshole. I see how it is.

Take a break though. It's pretty ****ing dead and pointless from now until camp anyways. I'll probably be checking out here or there until it ramps back up again.

Awesome job again on all of your breakdowns.

Ah, for the days of 'Hamas' and his Mother**** You Scott Pioli thread(s).

Thanks Crow it was alot of fun talking prospects & at times debating disagreements on a player.

Let's do it again next year yeah?

Thanks again Crow, I've enjoyed the last few weeks here of hearing people's thoughts on prospects. Especially ones I'd never heard of, lots of which you'd brought to my attention.

:(

Hey man thanks but you keep us in the know when it comes to college players and the draft. It is much appreciated.

I imagine that he also reached out to a few others here - but Crow has made the decision to permanently retire from Chiefs Planet. I personally will greatly miss his contributions to the draft forum and other areas of this site.

I don't know any of the background/story on the ongoing curfufel that led to this - so I have no thoughts or context to add related to that.

Hopefully they are just taking a break. Internet message board drama shouldn't effect your real life.

It shouldn’t, but reading constant negativity tends to create a depressing culture.

Man, that's a real bummer....he brought so much insight to the board.

what's with the cockgobbler thing?

That sucks.

Damn. I hope crow comes back when draft season starts picking up.

But yeah, there are definitely some assholes on the main board that I could see running people off. Some of them make it hard to want to share insight/info/effort.

Let's not sugarcoat things.

He said some pretty reeruned shit and continously doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on it instead of just saying oh **** yeah whoops.

If being right on the Internet is that important well than yeah he probably should retire from the Internet.

Nothing personal against the dude. He just took himself way too seriously.

I don't know what the context is but if it's come from DC it makes me even less inclined to pop in there!

DC is aids tea.

The context was more along the lines up "Andy Heck developed nobody" along with other random bizarro shit.

This.

Dude was never disrespectful unless dissed first and is/was an important piece to our draft conversation.

I've made my feelings known on how i feel about posters leaving over minor drama and Kccrow is no exception to that. But dude feels how he feels, whatcha gonna do.

It felt like more posters joined the conversation this year than ever before and Kccrow, at times, seemed a bit uptight and defensive, and at times, looked like he was out to prove something.

I don't mean that in any disrespectful way, if you're reading this, crow. Just an observation. This year felt a little different. Hopefully life is being good to you.

I'd just hate to see you go out like that.

I enjoyed discussions with Crow because typically he'd state a position and defend it with substance. that's a good thing.

But yeah, the bolded was a chore. He's done that a LOT over the last several years and it was just really strange to me.

But hey, we don't know what we don't know. There's presumptively some underlying cause for all that and I won't bother attempting to get into it. But it's...different.

Best I can figure is it's largely a 'I put effort into trying to make solid, informative posts and get 3 drive-by idiots offering nothing in response - why bother?' sort of thing. And I've thought it a time or two myself.

But really, the overwhelming majority of discourse with Crow was from folks who are usually similarly informed and willing to discuss these things. But he'd still get pretty wound up just about every draft season for one reason or another.

I think that's pretty much it. It's why a good majority of actual draft discussion happens in here. You can't have it out in the Lounge because you'll get idiots doing exactly like that. And sometimes they leak into here every once in while. I can see why it got old with him.

**** off.

This is why this sub-forum is such a blessing

Bout to ban your ass from this thread. Keep it up.

I know he was going through some personal shit I hope that gets better for him and hopefully he will be back. He put alot of effort into his draft takes and even our disagreements were pleasant Hendon Hooker comes to mind

What a shame. Seems at least a bit self inflicted, though. He went REALLY hard on trolling that Araiza thread.
