The @NFLPA just released their player team report cards for 2024 and the results are ... suboptimal for the Chiefs.
Head coach Andy Reid gets A+ but Chiefs rank dead last in training staff and ownership. Ownership gets an F- from the players. pic.twitter.com/2XyHkQfFru
We saw a lot of this last year, but it's sure hard to reconcile some of it. For example, we regularly hear players rave about how great our training staff is - Rick Burkholder in particular - and we regularly have guys come back from injury more quickly than expected. But then they get an F on this report? It doesn't pass the sniff test unless all those players are just outright lying. [Reply]
So the most unsatisfied players are also the players that win the most? It's officially silly season. None the less I don't like the results of the survey. :-) [Reply]

They work them and get them back playing quickly. Seems the players think they "push them back to quick". [Reply]

It's sarcasm.
Those floors don't produce anything for anyone, other than a custodian to maintain. [Reply]

His pre-training camp speeches are some of my favorite moments of the Franchise series. I like Clark but he's the most stereotypical rich dork there can be :-) [Reply]

Sure, but that's more like a "B-" or "C" kind of rating. An "F" implies that they're fucking horrible at their jobs and the entire place should be cleaned out. [Reply]
I mean lets be honest, if you weren't gonna do the locker room don't say you are, that's a bad look.
You probably should be upgrading your facility to at least be on par with the majority of the league.
Players are also going to look out for themselves in some circumstances, like feeling like they are pushed to return from injury quickly, some guys don't like that. That however isn't anything to be overly worked up about. [Reply]

He basically called they were going to win SB XIV. [Reply]
