Chiefs 2019 Free agency Thread - Page 55

We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.

If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

Brady slumped his shoulders and hung his head, looking as if he thought the game was over after that pick. He did not know there was a flag.

Okay time to leave this thread until this impending argument dies down in 48 hours

Maybe KPass can finally blossom in his final season like Ford did.

I don’t think I have ever been more excited about a player finally getting to see the field.

It sure seemed fine the first time he hurt it and had surgery in college. He's hurt it twice since and had another surgery.

There's also the injuries both knees, a concussion, an abdominal tear, a hammy, and a groin.

Off the top of my head anyway.

Or he could be wrong and the back surgery got it figured out and the yoga Ford has been doing has really done wonders for his flexibility and injury history. I feel like the organization knows better than us which one it really is.

I just think people might be siding with the former because they still mad.

I'm actually not mad at all. AT ALL.

I'm worried about his injury history and rightfully so. He's never proven he can stay healthy in back-to-back seasons.

There’s no way you can watch that and tell me he knew or that it even had anything to do with the poor throw regardless.

Just about everybody watching, including the announcers, didn’t even know there was a flag and almost nobody knew who it was on after the play when they realized there was one.

But somehow Brady did? :-)

Right before the play where Dee is offsides, the ref that throws the flag walks to the NE huddle and talks with Tom and mouths the words “I got you”...probably because Tom alerted him to the fact Dee had been lining up in the neutral zone.

That same ref is the one who threw the flag.

Mahomes liked a tweet today from a guy saying the Chiefs should go after Landon Collins. For whatever that may be worth.

He and Veach are tight so it could be something, or merely Mahomes just likes Collins potential here like many of us.

They FINALLY got 1st round production out of him in his 5th season.

By the Dee Ford standard, KPass still has a year left to "flash" and 3 more years to actually produce.

Ford was behind tamba and Houston... You're acting like he couldn't see the field simply cause he was unproductive

He was still at 1st round pick who averaged 7 snaps a game.

Actually, he didn't see the field in his rookie season because he lacked lower body strength, due to rehabbing a knee injury he suffered his senior season at Auburn. That's why he didn't participate in the scouting combine. I even said as much earlier today.

I don't know why it's so hard to understand - the guy is injury prone. You simply cannot say that he's not. His medical records say otherwise.

But he had 1 good season and didn't get hurt. He should be the centerpiece of the new defense.

I’m glad Ford is here to stay.

He’s going to beast out for that contract. We’ll have him at his best.

Chris Jones is probably the centerpiece of the defense. Ford is an elite player that plays a premium position though. I don't get why tagging him for a year is a problem. If he gets injured, that's sucks but for 2 years now, he's been elite when he plays. I fully understand and actually agree that a LTD probably shouldn't be part of the plan, but I don't agree with letting one of the best pass rushers in the league go when we can franchise him.

But I have to give you props for actually having this same position during the season. A lot of the anti-Ford people only became that way after the playoff game.
