The surgery would have put him out for the year anyway so how would that have been any better? He tried to go without survey and hopefully play through the pain late in the season. That plan obviously failed, but why would him getting surgery and not even trying to play have been better?


And I think a lot of people forget that he's dealt with heel issues for years and played on it for years.

Well, shit, if it bothered him so much, and for so long, maybe he could have gotten it taken care of when he was already out for the entire fucking season after first game played in September of 2017? Then maybe he could have contributed right away instead of standing on the sideline looking like a bum stealing Clark's money and then being utterly fucking useless when he did finally come back.

He was supposed to have BOTH Achilles repaired and the deformity shaved off in the same offseason, a couple years after fighting off cancer?

You think his body would have healed that quicker than just doing what he did?

I doubt it would have been advisable to have Achilles and Haglunds deformity surgery on different legs at the same time is advisable. Doubt that would make recovery any faster especially when at that time he and the medical team had managed the deformity pretty well up to that point.

He had a shitty ending to his time here but I very much doubt he chose to end it like that and didn't want to be on the field more and play better when he did get on the field. 1 injury isn't going to change my perception of him since he was in college.

Well, maybe he shouldn't have had it all done ON THE SAME DAY, but yeah, over the course of the entire fucking season he missed, he could have found the time.

It's not like he was getting paid millions of dollars to a job or anything. :-)

Then retire. Or accept the hate being greedy bought him. Plus, an almost guaranteed loss of a Chiefs legacy.

Do you understand how rehabbing an injury works?

From what I've seen it involves a lot of standing around looking disheveled.

He'll be hawking Dr. Scholl's Magic Inserts on the teevee at some point.

Either that, or he'll invest in some pristine real estate and spend his afternoons day-trading and lounging by the pool with his feet up.

Whatever it is, I can pretty much guarantee that he won't be giving two sh*ts about what Chiefs fans think of him.

He never did give a shit, that's pretty clear now.

In cases like this, you have to look on the bright side and think positively, Mr. BossChief.

For example, if he simply requested that his feet be amputated and replaced with titanium spring things, he would have increased his vertical and avoided even the remotest possibility of toe cancer.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure we've all participated in this Berry circle jerk before. Our opinions are set in stone at this point - really no point in further rehashing them.

If you like him, too bad, he's gone. :-)

If you don't him, yay, he's gone. :-)

Either way, he's gone.

One of the best things about getting Mahomes is that the "face" no longer belonged to some Safety, OLB, or RB anymore. Overnight, they all became rightfully expendable and could no longer use their status to hold us hostage.

Thank God for that kid.
