Post here. Pertinent free agent signings can still have their own thread. Anyone who replies with a Q, because something is buried in this thread should blah blah AIDS tree. [Reply]

His first draft was pretty damn good, and in fairness to him, I don’t think anyone saw Andrew Luck pulling a Barry Sanders. That significantly set them back.
I think he’s done all right, but after 3-4 years we’ll have a better overall idea. [Reply]

Eh. It's not his fault that Luck abruptly retired. [Reply]

I admit to being on this ship for a few weeks. I remember it vividly because it's the first time I've ever been wrong about anything. :-)
Shockingly, later in the same season I was wrong (and you were right) about LeSean McCoy not being active for the Super Bowl. When it rains, it pours. [Reply]

Dude thinks he's Bill Belichick or something stupid.
Spend your money. Your franchise QB was locked up. You had cap space. SPEND IT. [Reply]
Luck screwed them but they had a shit ton of cap space and did mostly nothing with it, were wrong on their bust running back and are bringing in Rivers?
Would any of you be happy about that? Meanwhile Veach brought in a bunch of guys we all thought were terrible and turned out to have like a 90% success rate and won a SB.
I mean sure Ballard drafted Quentin Nelson but that was a no-brainer. Rock Ya Sin lookin good? Parris Campbell? I'm not so sure about the future of that franchise.
I guess he's had solid draft picks but free agency woof. [Reply]
It’s just so nice to have this completely different free agent mindset, compared to years past... “where’s our splash signing!” :-) “give us somebody good!11”
Now I’m really just hoping for a great draft, and maybe a couple mid-tier free agents if possible... no splash, no problem... just keep the band together to whatever extent possible [Reply]

If not for PMII we all could have been hoping, dreaming that Brady would come to KC only to have our hearts broken with the signing of Dalton. [Reply]
