Well, when that authority has been to 5 Super Bowls in 6 years, and we're just a bunch of fans rooting them on, that seems to be a safe place to hedge your bets when nobody else really truly has any information to convince you otherwise. The only thing anyone has is that 31 other teams who don't have anywhere near the track record of the Chiefs passed on him. That doesn't mean a whole lot to me.
Andy Reid, Brett Veach and Rick Burkholder each have more experience, knowledge and expertise on these matters in their morning shits than all of us do combined, and that's just a fact. They are all thrilled to have him and think he's going to be fine. That's really kind of enough for me. They've been wrong before, and will be again, but I'm certainly not going to hassle them for taking a top 10 talent at #32, even if he does end up completely flaming out. I'll still take that swing every damn time.
