Hate to break it to some of you, but sometimes people enjoy quality of life more than winning a Super Bowl ring. And living and playing in Miami kinda beats KC hands down. [Reply]
So the DL is a ‘priority’ yet will essentially be the same as it was last season with a rookie Karlaftis replacing Ingram.
Veach can either trade for Quinn or just acknowledge that he absolutely fucked this DL up. It’s one of the 5-8 worst lines in football. Just complete garbage.
But at least it makes up for being limited by also being paper thin.

Fucking aces work, Brett.
So he's locked into doing what he said at the outset of free agency? He isn't allowed to see how the market evolves and pivot to another path?
You're grading the offseason in mid-May and holding him to some comments from a couple months ago. Things change. The market changes. Teams change.
The question of relevance is not solely "Will the Chiefs field a better defensive line next season?" Rather, it's "Are the Chiefs setting themselves up for more success in the future?"
I would much rather have a guy who reads the room and makes the right decisions for the future rather than someone who feels the need to live up to prior public statement to the detriment of the team. [Reply]

The defensive line is a piece of shit and Veach has passed on literally DOZENS of opportunities to improve it.
So yeah, I think it’s fair to say by May that he’s put himself in a corner.
It’s Quinn or try to win with a POS line at this point. Oh, and if his plan is ‘well maybe my DL coach can just make chicken salad out of chicken shit, that’s a real bad plan.
He didn’t ‘read the room’ as he was letting all these 2nd tier FAs who would absolutely have helped this team sign elsewhere. He simply got out-hustled.
But like I said - always an excuse. I’m sure this was all part of his master plan of taking the DL that was EASILY this teams Achilles heel last year and effectively treading water. 5D fucking chess, lads… [Reply]

Nah...the question is whether he's addressed the pass rush...regardless of whether it's coming from the edge or not. If he has, who cares whether it comes from the edge or elsewhere. We will see. Impossible to predict at this point. [Reply]
