Ummm Sanu isn’t a fucking rookie. He’s a 30 year old vet and we know exactly who he is.

That’s a far cry from a rookie 6th round pick who probably none of us did our homework on. Are you seriously trying to compare these two situations?

But don't you think Belicheck knows more about it than you do?

Brett Veach has made some really good moves. Brett Veach has made some really bad moves.

Hope this clears things up.

I know what you’re trying to do here. I’m not saying that we can’t ever be critical.

There’s a huge difference between a 30 year old NFL WR who we’ve watched throughout his entire career and a 6th round pick that nobody knows anything about. The situations aren’t even remotely close. Give me a break.

There’s a reason I’m using Fenton and other draft picks only for this.
[Reply]

He's a 6th round pick. I don't 'give the benefit of the doubt' because I largely don't care at all. They're odd little novelties that occasionally pan out and mostly don't matter. Ever. Rashad Fenton barely crossed my mind at any point and to even call that 'criticism' of the Fenton pick does the word a disservice. That is tepid support of Fields at it's very worst.

In camp, Fields WAS significantly better and I'm certain you'll acknowledge this fact. Then the dude !@#$ing immolated in the 4th pre-season game and deservedly lost his gig. So be it - but to act like Fenton hadn't outplayed him by leaps and bounds to that point is absurd.

And to act like any of my posts on the subject suggest that I was just furious with Brett Veach for taking Fenton is just laughable. Are you really that hard-up for something to bitch about?

And by the way, I've polished Andy Reid's knob literally since the moment we brought him on. Look at that "Andy Reid sucks" thread when I have habitually called people fucking morons and dissected their nonsensical "he can't manage a clock" horseshit. I literally started a thread saying that Andy Reid was better than blowjobs the day the signing was announced. I believe he's one of the 3-5 best coaches in NFL history. In what fucking world have I suggested that I know more about football than Andy Reid?

But when the extent of your contributions to ANYTHING on this board is "well if Andy Reid did it, I guess I should just assume it was right" - then what the hell are you even here for? Chat boards are always about disagreement. They're always about discourse and yes, I'll disagree with decisions made by even the mighty Andy Reid. Doesn't mean I think I know more about football than he does - hell, I said a dozen times last year that Bob Sutton knows more about this game than the 10 most knowledgeable posters on this board combined. Even the dumbest guys in football know more than we do (well, maybe not all of them, but most of them). IT'S THEIR JOB.

But if you're just going to defer to authority every time a team with a winning record does something - just fucking pack it in. Is the KC Star board still around? I'm sure you can go hang out there and just shout "YAAAY CHIEFS!! "every Sunday.
[Reply]

Yeah, still doesn't make sense though.
[Reply]

He's young and played at a very high level in Seattle. Did KC overpay for him? Yup and a lot of people new this back in April. Can he play at a high level this season? Maybe. He's been banged up. I didn't like the elbow braces on in earlier games and now a neck injury nobody has info on. I think he will be a high level player, just not for that price tag.
[Reply]

Yes - you are.

If your position is "criticizing the Chiefs is substituting your judgment for Andy Reid's and thus a suggestion you know more about football than Reid" then you are absolutely saying exactly that.

That or you're just doing a really lousy job of trying to make a point.

Y'know what, you're right - it's probably just the latter. Par for the course, really.
[Reply]

Of course it doesn’t because I’m arguing with DJ. You wouldn’t dare agree with me when I’m debating your master.

:-)

You’re such an dick riding pillowbitergot. What kind of grown ass man does that?

My point is we could at least give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to a 6th rounder versus an UDFA. It’s really not that complicated and makes sense if you aren’t trying to be a pillowbitergot.

I’m not even saying you can’t have an opinion, just this fire Veach BS and he gets raped every time he trades is embarrassingly stupid. DJ’s Left Nut isn’t a pimple on Veach’s ass yet he really did believe he knows better. There’s a huge difference between being critical and that.
[Reply]

It doesn't. At all.

It's one of those points you tend to get taught in a debate course - in the course of making several arguments, any argument that doesn't help your case will actively hurt it.

So maybe the whole "Andy Reid knows more about offensive football than you so you should just shut up and assume he's right" thing should've just stayed in his pocket.

To each their own...
[Reply]

I mean, ok. I don't really care what you guys are arguing about. It's an appeal to authority, which is fine, but own it man. Don't run from it.

Either way though, doesn't matter to me.

I don't care about picks after the 4th round, I'd have them all traded away so I wouldn't have to worry about picking them. I don't really care about Fields vs Fenton or whatever you guys are arguing. I was just chiming in on the obvious.

Gooooood boy, O.City.

Such a good booooy.

I try.

Sometimes.

So much hostility.

I had staylors back when he was dealing with titty meat, and this is the thanks I get.

Sheesh.
