There’s a reason he’s running an NFL team and we’re here posting “did we sign this piece of shit yet”
Over time you realize it's typically the same voices who want to trade everything for everyone every time it comes up.
Big packages of picks for malcontents or players who've peaked because we have to win right now, immediately. There might never be a next year, the ceiling's going to cave in at any moment, I've been watching this team too long without a super bowl (as if the Chiefs in the 1980s have anything to do with today), the feeling that we are perpetually a player or two away, etc.,
This need to lean on band-aid fixes. This weird need to try to smash and grab instead of building a dynasty is part of the fan culture for now. It's bizarre.
There's a puzzlingly pervasive idea on CP that this type of trade is what winning teams do, even though it very clearly is not. Loser franchises do things like trade huge packages of picks for guys who aren't QBs or even pass rushers. A loser franchise traded a lot of draft capital for Randy Moss. The winners picked him up a year later from the bargain bin, but mostly just win with their guys.
And this, friends, is why you should never trade that much compensation for a single entity unless said entity is a highly proven and talented QB or HC. [Reply]

2 1st round picks for a HC would be ridiculously stupid unless it’s prime BB. [Reply]

Kroenke doesn't care. He got the quick wins to establish LA as a prime nfl market. That's all he cared about. Making that team a fast winner. The guys been poison everywhere he's gone and yet the NFL wants to double down on him. Few things more satisfying to know he doesn't win by buying himself a championship. [Reply]
