Valid points. But in the end (no pun intended), we got fucked. [Reply]

Correction, we fucked ourselves.
And for anyone arguing the merits of that dumbassef, short-sighted move, wake up and realize that the proof is in the Tyreek Hill pudding. Some fools can learn from experience! [Reply]

True, but it stinks that they couldn't see their error in the first place. [Reply]

Patrick Mahomes could tell me to have sex with Brooke Pryor or else he’s going to leave KC, and I’d do it. Happily. I’d even pretend to like it if he wanted me to. [Reply]

Not trying to :-) you here but this is pure speculation as well. Quite frankly IMHO we didn't miss a beat without him. Damien Williams stepped up when he needed to and played like this is his normal self IF given the chance in which he did. He definitely showed quicker feet and burst than Hunt for sure and I will go out on a limb here and say DW actually improved the RB position to some degree at the time he took over. And now with some serious thoroughbreds in our RB stable I feel very confident in this position. [Reply]

I knew I was speculating. But fuck it, I refuse to lose Hill. And if we do, I want a mint for him... [Reply]

I would say Mahomes definitely has pull/influence with Chiefs brass...even CHunt. He's their golden unicorn. He doesn't HAVE to sign an extension...
He's friends with Hill...and knows the REAL dirt.
I have a feeling they all regretted releasing K. Hunt...when the SJW witch-hunt dust blew away. [Reply]

It's not an "SJW witch hunt" to release someone who wont' stop brawling off the field and continually lies about it to the team. That person has a disciplinary problem and is a repeat offender who should be off the team.
The NFL has a problem that when a team that does the right thing by releasing players with poor character, other teams that don't care about players' character reap the benefits. That's the league's problem. Releasing that person is still the right thing for the Chiefs to do. [Reply]
Someone should make a new poll. Has anyone changed their mind? Then changed back again? Ive been firmly on the "not in favor of" the whole time. In fact I feel like it may be a blessing for re-signing him for cheaper than expected. Better us than the Patriots or Cowboys. [Reply]

Right... the standards for character should be the same for everyone, but because running backs are easily replaced Hunt got the boot, whereas Hill is getting every inch of rope the Chiefs think they can credibly give him.
The Hill problems should be evaluated the same whether he's a practice squad player or a Pro Bowler, but I think the fact that he's still around clearly indicates that it will not. [Reply]
