If Mahomes pans out, he will be a Chief for 15 years. We will cycle through every other position including head coach during that period. We need a great GM for Mahomes to reach his full potential. Dorsey was that guy. [Reply]
Don't for a second think because Reid is clock challenged and his play calling gets dull that his ability to evaluate talent is directly tied to that. The two are not mutually exclusive. Evaluating talent and then using the talent correctly are two different things. [Reply]
The cap thing is an excuse to justify Clarks moronic decision. With the exception of Rodney Hudson who did we lose that was worth a fuck? I wont argue Dorsey gave out terrible contracts but he could find talent wether it was March or December. Id argue we never had anyone like that. The drafts sans 2013 were excellent. Peters looks like a Chiefs HOF'r and Kelce will threaten some of Gonzalezs records. Reids a great coach who sometimes makes dumbass in gsme decisions but Reid/Dorsey was a perfect marriage. Maybe they hire someone good maybe they dont but it was nice to have a competent regime for the first time in 20 years. [Reply]

If you believe the chatter from the insiders, we did keep the talent evaluator. [Reply]
I would think Reid had as much input as Dorsey on draft picks. Dorsey has never been good in negotiating contracts, trades etc from how it's appeared. I think people maybe giving Dorsey more credit than deserved as we don't know it all. Time will tell.

Or where were you going with this? Posted via Mobile Device
Dorsey is widely recognized as one of the best GMs in the NFL. His future is ahead of him. This will likely be be Reid's last contract and his best season culminated in poor clock management and his QB puking on the field. [Reply]

This seems to be consistent with what we are hearing. Dorsey was upset about the power Reid had. Reid had the final say on the roster. Etc., etc. [Reply]
