He drafted Hill in the 5th round and we got 3 amazing years of the guy on a rookie contract. It was an absolute home run of a pick.
Obviously disappointing given that he may never play another down with the Chiefs again, but do you think we would've been better off in terms of wins and losses having drafted anyone else in the same slot?
Only person to blame is Hill himself. And maybe the Chiefs organization if all that "support system" stuff put out there when they drafted him was just nonsense. [Reply]
Quit blaming the Chiefs and blame the NFL for enabling abuse. Goodell should be publically fired in humiliating fashion to allow this to continue. JFC the Titans pick was a 1st rounder. [Reply]

That's a very different case than any of the Chiefs. Get the facts around what happened. Still not good, but not Hill level. [Reply]

Chiefs obviously love guys with domestic violence in their history.
No one in the league cares about it, don't act like your team is any better. [Reply]
I don't "blame" anyone but the player. He threw away MILLIONS of dollars because he can't control his temper. That goes for both Hill and Hunt. So the Chiefs and the NFL gave them a chance, knowing they had some issues. JFC, alter boys ain't going to win a SB. But...give a young man MILLIONS of dollars, I believe controlling his temper should be expected. [Reply]

Even if Hill never plays for us again, we got great value for a 5th round pick.
I don’t have a problem with 2nd chances. Hill should be cut. Got his 2nd chance, and he blew it.
Yeah, I agree. That didn't "look" great, but it was very minor in the scheme of things. Luckily Ray Lewis didn't have 200 cell phones with cameras filming him stab two people to death.
Unfortunately, Hill will be signed by someone as soon as the dust settles and we'll get absolutely nothing out of the deal. [Reply]

It was stupid, shortsighted precedent to set, and now it's going to bite us in the ass. [Reply]
