MTJ06 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Kansas City March 7, 2008 Chiefs meager free agent crop raises red flags The Chiefs have been very quiet on the free-agent front, with OLB Demorrio Williams representing the only significant addition to a club that needs substantial upgrades at numerous positions. Both coach Herm Edwards and GM Carl Peterson have stated that their intention is to focus on building through the draft rather than free agency, a notion which makes sense considering their pressing need to get younger. However, with the sparse crop of new faces arriving in Kansas City since season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vudu Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I can understand. Not to mention their main superstar on that team is too busy partying all night in NYC and trailing behind Jay-Z's behind. Sorry but I can understand how Kansas City can be a sucky place to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsMan57 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Rebuilding through the draft is a great concept. But too bad this isnt 1980 anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Jet1121 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The vets dont want to play for Herman because he is a stupid goof. I saw Tony G a coupe weeks back you can see his body and face expressions when he tryed to defend Herman and Carl Peterson. Not even there Vets on that team belive Herman and his coaching ways. He'll be gone if he goes 2-14 or another 4-12 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Remember how the media was busy telling us "losing" Herm and getting "only" a 4th round pick showed the franchise was in trouble? Yeah...that's kinda why I'm not worried when they say our offseason was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 years? better rethink that. was it not priest holmes not a FA, marcus allen, donnie edwards, n. harris, ty law, patrick surtan, eddie kennison, and trent green. shall i continue? Marcus Allen went to the arch-rival of the Raiders, and with good reason. And that was 15 years ago. And he was 33 years old at the time & hadn't carried the ball >200x for the previous 5 consecutive seasons. Most of the rest of those guys were flocking to Dick Vermeil. Vermeil happened to be in KC. Donnie Edwards was a hell of a lot better when they had him the first time around. It's not like Donnie's agent's phone was ringing every 5 seconds with 20 NFL GM's fighting over him at age 34. Napoleon Harris lost his starting job in Minnesota the year before Herm got him. He isn't any better now. Who's their other major acquisition? Damien McIntosh? He's awful & even in a desperate situation this is the best KC could do. I never really thought about it. But yeah, FA's are avoiding Herm/KC.

SoFlaJets Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 hmmm...kind of puts a new spin on my concept as to why we had only had one big FA signing (before this winter that is) Ty Law-and THAT signing made a lot of sense-Law was the perfect candidate for a Herman Edwards team-maybe it WASN'T Woody after all, maybe that was why we'd keep hearing about this or that guy being brought in for a possible visit and nothing kept happening-maybe it was Herm all along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_monkey Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I don't get it. What's not to like about Herm & KC? Great BBQ, free pass to skip work-outs whenever you happen to feel tired (if you're a veteran) and no big heavy playbook to learn. Awesome.

F*** the Chiefs. The whole franchise can line up to suck me off one at a time for consorting & conspiring with a Jets HC while he was under contract here for 2 more years; forcing us to take a mid-4th rounder when the going rate was multiple picks in the 1st and/or 2nd round.

Boozer76 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The Chiefs are a storied franchise. Their immediate downfall started with Carl Peterson, who no doubt is just bright enough to think Herm Edwards is a good coach. Chiefs fans are extremely loyal and dedicated and for the most part pretty bright in regards to their football knowledge. They don't deserve to have this bain of a curse on them. The curse of duhHerm really belongs in places like MIA and OAK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetscode1 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 They players aren't dumb. They don't want to play for a convict and Peterson hasn't done anythiung since Mart ball left town. Mangini may run a tough training camp but the jury is still out on him building a winner. The Herminator stands convicted and then leaves when the senetence is about to be announced.

Thats why they are on to him. LOL!!! They really have little to "beech" about. Most of them were PUMPED when they "stole" Herm from us. And one's own feeling as to what Herm was "worth" or what you think we otherwise would have done with him or how empty his head is - that's all irrelevant. He was under contract with the Jets, the Chiefs obviously tampered, and we got a single mid-round pick in return. No "punishment" for Hunt or his scumbag lackeys. The Jets tampered with Parcells and (deservedly) had to cough up like 4 draft picks (a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd, and a 4th) I think. Then your own Patriots had to cough up a 1st rounder for BB, who was fired from his only prior HC stint with Cleveland. No one "knew" he was going to win 3 superbowls with NE (all tainted, of course). Is it fair? The merits of the coach's skills or fame, to me, don't factor into it. You cannot tamper with another team's coach. Chiefs did. They can rot with their ill-gotten dufus of a HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 There is hope. Some big rep old washed up DB or a DL guy nicknamed Tank or Turk will be funding his retirement off the Hunt family fortune thanks to Herman Edwards. Signing Alan Faneca or Damien Woody or drafting Mnagold and D'Brick in ROund 1-solid, productive OL guys-is beyond Edwards' capacity. Those guys-Jones, the Knish, Marko, Moore-can be picked up in the later rounds. Or resigning guys like Kareem McKenzie or Randy Thomas-inconceivable. Dave Szott and Pete Kendall probably had to be signed on one of Herm's days off at his Anthony Robbins-type gigs. Those must be going great guns these days, huh?
