This thread is titled "Chiefs sign Alex Okafor". Alex Okafor plays the SAME position and is getting a FRACTION of what Dee Ford got.

It won't be when he's hurt again.

Oh that's right, zero.

How many of them are gonna match his production?

Oh that’s right, zero.

You’re right. The way to build a team is get a high quantity of expensive players, not focus on quality. Fkn lmao.

Thanks for the nitpick, it sure makes a BIG difference.

And no, I don't hate the guy at all. It appears it is you who are blind. Because you haven't actually read a word I've said.

I would have taken Dee Ford back. I even would have entertained giving him a long-term contract for the right price.

I was NOT in favor of playing Dee Ford for 1 year on a $16M guaranteed salary with his history of injuries. His on-again/off-again career is not worth that kind of risk. That's all it is for me. That's all it EVER was for me.

Ok. We get all that.

So if you hate Ford so much, why did you want to pay him 24 million dollars?

Just answer the question!

They were damn close to one this year when Ward intercepted that pass but then!.....

Fuck.

You're an idiot.

For the record:

Didn't like the Mathieu signing when first announced. Wanted to keep Houston and didn't like to see him cut.

The ONLY move that I really agree with was letting Ford go. And that's the one that's got you all fired up, Auburn fan.

Which production? 2018? 2016?

Or 2014, 2016, 2017?

Do you actually like those odds? If so, I'll take your $16M right now and put it to good use.

I love how every move has to be either a steal or a pile of shit

Some moves can be just fine, which is this one :-)

Exactly. Just from memory there was like two goofy games that made that stat.
He did disappear.

If Reid allows them to get away, we won’t miss them.

Peters and Hunt.

Exactly.

BipolarPlanet as usual. Either the GM is a freaking genius on par with Sir Isaac Newton or he has Mike Singletary disease. There no room on CP for a middle ground.

Peters was hot garbage for the Rams.

everyone compares him to Ford... the comp is Alan Bailey. We will move up and draft a speed rusher.

The common denominator on both those moves is CHunt’s focus on PR, not winning the SB.
