No, I think every other team's additions are fabulous and fool proof, while KC's are all a disaster. Am I doing it right? [Reply]

When did I say our additions were disasters. I do think MVS is a bad WR. Im not the biggest Hardman fan but even I think he's a better WR overall. Ive also said that I loved the Reid signing and the draft. Somehow you guys missed those posts. [Reply]

Again, I never said that this “will” be a reset year. What I said was that I was prepared for it as a possibility given the way the offseason was playing out, an extremely tough schedule, and the rest of the division/AFC going all-in.
This draft is full of guys that are ready to contribute. They drafted at least 5 guys that should be able to play significant roles.
Trent McDuffie for example was one of the safest prospects/picks in the draft. It’s entirely realistic that we could see zero drop-off from Ward. I’d argue McDuffie might even be an upgrade. He’s that fucking good/ready.
Of course that changes expectations. He was a top 15 player on my board. I was not expecting an addition like that. Not to mention Karlaftis, which was my best case scenario first pick for the Chiefs. Why would these additions not slightly change expectations? [Reply]

And yeah Carr is a downgrade from Rodgers. But hes still a really good QB. He shouldn't be compared with Tua at all.
They have won the SAME AMOUNT OF PLAYOFF GAMES.... one is still on his rookie contract. [Reply]

I mean, given their ages and contracts I'd much, much rather have Tua. At least there's a minute chance he becomes a worthwhile asset and you can trade him. Carr is taking up 40 million per and has never won ANYTHING of substance the entire time he's been in the league. [Reply]

That guarantees absolutely nothing.
Last year means nothing.
The entire division got tougher. They now have the worst QB in the division. Their schedule will be tougher. They got a new coaching staff.
You keep pretending that it’s as simple as “derp they were 10-7 last year so they’ll clearly be better this year with Adams”. It doesn’t fucking work like that. [Reply]

Raiders can get out of carrs contract after this season if he doesn't perform so I don't understand why you guys are bringing that into it.
Do you think Tua and Carr are on the same level of QB play? [Reply]

Yeah but they as a team got better also. And we have essentially the same schedule except a couple games in which theirs are against worse teams than the teams we're facing. [Reply]
