More trade news: The #Chiefs are deep in talks with the #49ers on a trade for star pass-rusher Dee Ford, sources say. Things have escalated and this could get done by the end of the night. Ford needs to work out a new contract with SF, which is a big piece of this.

He really has no ammo at this point. What can he possibly say about any of the verbal diarrhea and reactionary horseshit he's thrown around the last 6-8 months? Literally anytime you disagree with him he just starts popping off about how dumb you are and right now he doesn't really have a hand to play.
So he's just gonna stay under the radar and hope things turn around. Or that Mahomes is enough to pull this shit sandwich of a team that Veach has assembled kicking and screaming to a conference championship.
It's still smarter than Pete's approach, I guess. [Reply]

Sadly, that's STILL Veach's crowning achievement.
I mean...is there even a close second?
Who else can you point to on Veach's resume and say "yeah, there's a quality guy who's outplayed the capital/cost to acquire him..."
Nnadi and Ogbah. I think Wilson still qualifies even though he's been ass the last couple of weeks. Who else? Closest you get on any of the big ticket items is Mathieu, who would've cost 75% as much and actually been around for the AFC Championship game last year had Veach gone ahead and signed him when the Cardinals cut him like he should have.

I don't think we've been bad with our secondary. Like Thornhill. Fuller was a good find for the cost. Ward isn't terrible considering he was trash pile. But both trenches and our front 7.. Ugh [Reply]
Ok someone answer me 1 question.which one of our brilliant D coaches thinks Bashad Breeland covering the speed receiver is a good idea?
He's gotten Hilton and Fuller 2 weeks in a row and he looked like Orlando Scandrick out there just grabbing for dear life because he can't run with them, hell Fuller roasted him several times and just didn't catch the ball. [Reply]

Give Veach credit for Juan Thornhill. He had a very impressive pick and made a big run stop on 3rd down yesterday.

I believe I saw at least 3 dropped TDs.
The Texans were the only thing that slowed the Texans yesterday. The Chiefs defense never posed a legitimate threat at all. I think Fuller dropped 2 and Hopkins dropped at least 1. And 2 of those ended up with zeros on the board.
Oh, and the Texans would've scored on the last possession if they wanted to. I mean the Texans could've won that game by 24+ points; the Chiefs were that badly outclassed. But Houston managed to keep us in it by dropping TDs and missing kicks.
The Colts game was frustrating because I saw a team that was just spinning its wheels and couldn't quite get unstuck. Yesterdays game was infuriating because I saw a team that just got blown the !@#$ off the field. It was a shitshow. [Reply]

That guy is a going to be good
Thornhill was solid pick. And I want to be mad at him for not having the situational awareness to realize that he needs to just knock that damn ball away, but it's hard to be mad at a kid looking to make a play in the end-zone on his first career pick.
That was stupid of him, but it was also extremely understandable. [Reply]

Wasn't he the guy who knocked down the Lions' hail mary? [Reply]
Hai Guyz - 'member when we were optimistic because dumping Dee Ford was a signal that incompetence on defense, no matter how 'innocent' you argue you are after the fact, would no longer be tolerated?

We were getting repeatedly kicked in the face with Dee Ford. We demanded that it stop.
Now we're getting kicked in the balls.
Doesn't mean you should never demand you stop getting kicked in the face just because it might get worse.
Trading Ford was an appropriate risk and absolutely the correct decision. [Reply]

Meh I was okay with this deal at the time because I thought Veach was compiling picks and being smart. Also Spags kept harping on about system fits and how Ford wasn't that. Around this time it was understandable that most of CP was content with moving Ford for picks albeit the compensation was shit.
No one could have imagined Spags system was just aids and Veach's dumbass was planning to waste the draft capital he obtained on a ****stick like FC. [Reply]
