The way to think about Neil Smith is that he spent nine seasons with the Chiefs, three with the dirty cheaters, and one with next year's champion Chargers. He had five pro bowls with the Chiefs and one with the dirty cheaters.
So his value is 9-3-1 = 5 seasons with the Chiefs and 5-1=4 pro bowls. Therefore, he's roughly the equivalent of Willie Roaf, who played with us for 4 seasons with 4 pro bowls or maybe Gary Barbaro, who played with us for 7 seasons with 3 pro bowls. [Reply]
The Chiefs now benefit from the exact same dynamic that caused Neil Smith to survey the horizon and figure out the team that is going to give him the best chance to win a ring. Why in the fuck would any free person want to play for the Chiefs in that era at the exact same salary when the Broncos looked poised to win championships, which is exactly what the fuck they did?

I think it's a great choice... he can show off his two rings as inspiration for the team to go get their second. Honestly, I don't really get all the hate. [Reply]
Terrible choice …
Neil Smith is dead to me - He’s a Bronco.
He may have not had a choice to stay here , but he didn’t have to go to a hated rival.
The tipping point for me was when he did his “swing” against us. That was a complete BS move and I burned his jersey after that … [Reply]

Speaking of extremely confusing and unnecessarily convoluted math - how's the Chiefs Franchise Index looking these days? [Reply]
