How bout a little group fun?

If this team is REALLY gonna take a couple years and "major reconstructive surgery" over that span to become a contender again, who should be on and stay on this team? Who will be too old when we are good? Who could we trade now to bring more draft picks?

Here's some fun to get started that will surely get some feathers ruffled.

Trade Tony Gonzales: He's been the ultimate Chief and it's a shame Peterson couldn't get him a ring. The best way he can do that now is to trade him to a contender for a #1 pick or a young, good player.

Trade Jared Allen: Negotiate a sign and trade with Allen. Tell him to list 10 teams he would accept a trade to and get the best possible bounty you can for arguably the best pass rusher in league. Perhaps a first rounder and more.

Trade Larry Johnson: Get ANYTHING you can for him. Huge contract with big questions after an injury laden 2007. This one may be best to move next season.

I think those 3 players, the best the Chiefs have to offer in the prime of their careers would bring huge bounty to help with the rebuilding. Bringing in a bunch of first rounders and more young players may require just one more "rebuilding year.

So, who else should stay and who else should go?

That would be a huge risk and could possibly ruin the team for a few years, but it could very well work in the long run. I would def not want them to get rid of Larry Johnson because he as 8-10 years left in him if he chooses.

Larry would be the first on that list to go. No way does he have 8-10 good years in him. And I think it would be absolutely ridiculous to let Tony G play for any team but the Chiefs. And Jared Allen is out best defensive player. You are just making more holes in the team to fix. We want a great Defense...keep the great defensive players. You want to score points...keep the playmakers. Use the draft picks we have now wisely and don't drop all the talent you have on the team.

No way do I agree with any of that. As much as they could bring lets not be the royals of football please. Just because they are 1st rounders means nothing. We need to find our core guys and build around them. I think you just named a few core guys. LJ had a good line for one year and after that it went to crap in a hurry. Give it back to him and he will be back. Even herm does not say things that sound that dumb...ok well maybe he does.

Tony deserves to retire a Chief and still has gas left in the tank.

While I wouldn't blame ANY of them for wanting to be traded at this point, I agree with ya Chiefster!

I think T.G. still has 5 years left in the tank!

He has changed his diet and is the perennial all star!

I couldn't agree more. I DO think Tony has gas left in the tank. That's part of the reason why it would be advantageous for the Chiefs to trade him. Give him a chance to win a ring now. By the time the Chiefs are ready to compete for a title, he'll be in the twilight of his career. I'm thinking only on behalf of the Chiefs organization. I honestly don't care if he finishes his career with another team. He would go into the hall as a Chief. Even if we have to sign him to a one day contract. He is worth more as a trade chip than a player at this point.

I'd say trade Gonzo and try out Wilson or Michael Allan. Allan really impressed me during the preseason. Wilson was drafted as TG's successor in the first place.

I'm more on the fence about Jared Allen. He OBVIOUSLY doesn't want to be here and he's made it known that the only reason he isn't causing more waves is because of Herm. He really likes the coaching staff and doesn't want to cause a rift. He IS one of the best, if not THE best pass rusher in the game. So, that works both ways for the Chiefs.

If you keep him, great. You've got a perennial Pro Bowler for the next, what, 7 or 8 years? Or, you could trade him for multiple players and or draft picks to help fill more holes on the team than you're creating by trading him. Trading players like these doesn't "create more holes." That's just plain wrong. By bringing in high draft picks (plural) and or good young players (plural), you would be filling more than ONE hole. Thus, doing more good than harm.

Here's what you could do if you traded Allen. Bring in another 1st rounder from whoever. Miami wouldn't be a bad place to start since they will probably be looking defense at that #1 pick anyway. It doesn't really matter who you trade Allen to. But take your first pick and draft "the other Long," DE out of Virginia (Howie Long's son) then take your next pick and draft the O-lineman we so desperately need. Jake Long won't be there at #5 and no other OT is worth taking that high up. If our 2nd pick is still #5, trade down and pick up more picks. Preferably in the 2nd and 3rd rds to improve the O-line.

As far as LJ goes, personally, i think Kolby is the future at Tailback for the Chiefs. While i don't think he's nearly as good as LJ was, we don't exactly know what the problem with LJ is. So, i would test the interest in him. It won't be high though. Big contract, big injury doesn't equal big booty.

But if we were able to trade TG for a late 1st round pick and perhaps a 3rd, then trade JA for a 1st, 2nd and 4th, then add those picks to the #5 pick in each round plus the 3 extra picks we've accumulated, we could be looking at a BUNCH of high draft picks. 3 first rounders 2 second rounders 2 third rounders along with 6 or 7 more picks in the later rounds will go a LONG way in filling the one or two holes you created. I'm sure with THAT many picks, you can find SOME way to compensate for TG and JA's loss.

After drafting 14 guys this season and then around 7 more next season, 2009 could be looking VERY GOOD. Football prospects don't take 6, 7, or 8 years to reach the big leagues. You can't compare the Chiefs to the Royals. Rookies react completely different to each sport.

Given their track record, this coaching staff won't miss on too many draft picks. Presently, they have 10 of 14 picks making major contributions to this team. That's a 71% hit rate. If we could have that same success rate in 2009 as we have right now, we'd be looking at close to 22 new starters over a 4 year span with at least 3 more behind those starters pushing for playing time....i'd say that's a pretty successful rebuilding job.

Not to mention, if we were able to unload TG, JA, and LJ, while also unloading Priest Holmes, that would clear up A LOT of cap room and would allow the upper management the flexibility to go out and get a few of the younger elite players on the market that could help with the rebuild.

I don't trust the management, and coaches to make the right decisions, texaschief.

Herm is doing it all wrong as it is now.

Build around the teams strengths rather than hoping you get something for getting rid of them makes no sense to me.

Worth more as a trade chip? Are you serious? Who would you take for him? Let's get rid of the one guy on offense we KNOW can get the job done. That makes sense.

Did you not just post a couple of days ago all the busted draft picks the Chiefs have had over the last few years, but you seem to think that if you trade these guys then we are going to get equal replacements for them and players to fill other holes. Do you truly believe that all our needs will get adressed? First off you have to HOPE that you can draft a great TE, DE and RB. Then you are talking about our entire Oline and Secondary getting fixed and none of these players being a bust. I would rather gamble with the 10 picks we have now and keep the three most talented guys on the team right now.

I can only see trading Tony or Jared if they specifically insist on being traded. However they are the cornerstones from which your management should be building the team. LJ may or may not be tradeable. First his injury status would have to be examined by the other team in question. If he does have a soft tissue injury in the foot or has broken a bone that isn't healing well, he will continue to have injury issues....this would make him nearly untradeable considering the size and length of his contract.

As for the person who suggested LJ has 8-10 years left, that is highly unlikely. He is not young...he is in his late twenties, and most runningback decline rapidly after the age of 30. He has 2-3 good years left (if healthy) and 4-6 total years left in the NFL.

Are you even seriously a Chief's fan or do you just like coming on here getting everyone riled up? T.G. has not shown any sign of slowing down. When you're developing a QB, why would you want to get rid of the one guy that can catch anything thrown his way? Finally, a true fan would never, ever want to see T.G. in anything but a Chiefs jersey.

But recieving THAT many passes and he only avg 11.8 when he had been averaging 12.4 over the previous 7 seasons might indicate a slope.

Still, no downturn? hmm. Just because he was thrown the ball more this season doesn't mean he's still operating in his prime. What is he doing with the ball after he gets it?

He generally had 3 seconds to get open. How far down the field can a guy get in three seconds? After going to ESPN so I could make sense of those stats, I can't really see a downturn. That's barely over a half a yard. If he continues declining at that rate, he'll be ready to retire in 18 years.

He is dragging 3 or 4 guys with him for another 5 or 6 yards.

This is while he is being double, and sometimes triple teamed.

When you're team rarely reaches the red zone it is much harder for a TE to catch a TD pass.

Nice research though.

Tony Gonzalez revolutionized the position. Soon, the NFL is going to be flooded with Gates, Winslow Jr., Alex Smith, Jeremy Shockey, Vernon Davis, Shannon Sharpe, Jason Witten, Tony Gonzalez type players. Tony is no aberration. Hell, you're about to see two BIG TIGHT ENDS coming out of Oklahoma and Texas either this draft or the next.

You listed 7 TE's that are still playing. That means 21% of the teams in the NFL have players you put on par with T.G.

Put those TD numbers into the right perspective. How many TD did the Chiefs score? If averaging 0.6 yards per catch less over the last 7 seasons is a slope then you are right. However to me it look as though he is good for 70-80 catches a season, 900-1000yards and a first down every time he catches it. Dosen't sound like he is declining at all. It's the offensive scheme that is declining.

Winslow has had ONE full season, Smith has had 3 full seasons, Davis has had ONE full season and Shockey is a dominant TE when he's healthy. Of course they're not going to have the same numbers as TG.

And yes, as you look around the NFL, the talent at TE has sky rocketed. Dont act.

Winslow has had ONE full season, Smith has had 3 full seasons, Davis has had ONE full season and Shockey is a dominant TE when he's healthy. Of course they're not going to have the same numbers as TG.

And yes, as you look around the NFL, the talent at TE has sky rocketed. Dont act.

They're not as good as T.G.'s first years, that's what I was looking at. Shockey's over the last 4 years have been mediocre compared to T.G.'s. And what am I supposed to not act?

I would suggest that none of the TE's listed are nearly the player that Tony Gonzalez is. The only thing being discussed in the comparison is their receiving numbers...ummm anyone else notice that the only other competent blocker in that list was Jason Witten. And Witten has been in the league for a few years, but only has one really impressive year (this one).

For right now Tony Gonzalez is in a class of his own at the TE position. Gates is the only other receiving TE that has approached his excellence for more than a season or two, and Gates is a less than mediocre blocker.

Tony Gonzalez began a trend of NFL teams watching the NCAA ranks for solidly built basketball players that could translate to the football field. Before Gonzalez, the premier TEs in the game were guys like Brent Jones and Jay Novacek who were essentially oversized receivers, much like Shockey or Winslow Jr. The only two on that list that really could compare to Gonzalez down the road are Winslow Jr and Vernon Davis, and only if they put their minds to becoming complete players (receiving and blocking)

Exactly...this is the over all sentiment of this entire board. that record is the ONLY thing you people see. It's ridiculous. Until the Chiefs fell out of playoff contention, the Defense was in the top 10 in the league. The Super Star RB got injured. That alone took away at least half the offense. The line didn't perform. ok. With the defense this team has, once the line is rebuilt and we get a couple corners, this team is right back in contention....but the only thing being said is how awful this team is.

There hasn't been one thread posted about how the young players performed after the season ended. I try to talk about the future but so many of y'all are holding onto the past instead of discussing the future.

The only thing being said here is how bad the head coach is. I've posted several threads here trying to talk about other stuff and all i get back are how bad of a coach Herm is. It's ridiculous.

dude that is the first time it has been posted in a loooooong time. Fact is we were 4-12. Recognizing problems does not make one pessimistic. Just cause some disagree with your assessment of getting rid of LJ, Tony and Jared, does not make us pessimistic. I would love to think Herm is the greatest coach ever. Fact is, he isn't. Yes, the defense has been rebuilt. Is it perfect? NO. Is the offensive line is shamble?? YES Does that make me pessimistic? NO.

You usually demonstrate a really clear knowledge and understanding of the game...please read my post again. I wasn't saying that some of the other guys on that list didn't compare to Tony "this year" as receivers. I did say that none of them are even "decent blockers" except for Witten who is excellent. Witten until this year has been largely a possession receiver who wasn't a threat in the red zone. He had one good year. Comparing him to a legend is hardly fair. Most of the other guys have similar flaws.

Tony Gonzalez isn't a spring chicken any longer...but he probably has 3-4 really good years left. I wouldn't say 8, and I'm not sure who did....but 3-4 years of him roaming the middle with Bowe on the outside and LJ/Kolby Smith in the backfield gives the Chiefs hope...IMO

Okay, I'll start with Vernon Davis...he is well below average as a run blocker. He doesn't get low enough, stands up coming out of the block and loses all of his leverage.

Shockey is a beast blocking downfield for receivers, but he is a piss poor run blocker, that is why often times the Giants split him out on plays to force a linebacker/safety out of the box and put him in a better position to block from his strength.

I haven't watched as much of Winslow, but I will say that he could easily be discounted just because of his injury issues over the first 4 years of his career. Heck for that matter when has Shockey stayed healthy for an entire season?

Like i said previously, the Chiefs are hitting on 70% of thier draft picks the past 2 years. So, if we have 20 or so draft picks over the next two seasons, that means around 14 of those players will be major contributers to this football team. Add those to the 10 new major contributers to already on the team from the past two drafts and the entire team is rebuilt.

But you only hit on that many players if you get your pick number high. Like the 14 i suggested earlier this evening.....but you seem to just leave this part out for whatever reason. I never said we'd draft a starter with every pick.

And how many does everyone start with? 7, so you want to trade Tony G, Jared and LJ for 3 draft picks so that we can aquire 14 rookies to fill 5 O line spots, a DE, Two corners (at least) a TE and a RB. Good luck with that :bananen_smilies046:

i said around 20 because that would leave room for movement of picks to trade up or trade down in the draft.

I think you could get a 1st, 2nd, and mid round pick for Allen

I think you could get a 1st and mid round pick for TG.

I couldn't tell you what I'd expect in return for LJ. That's why i posted earlier that it would probably be better to wait to trade him next season after we know what exactly we've got in our super star RB.

Do you even read my posts or do you just spout random insults?

also, i fail to see why trading 3 players who don't really want to be here anyway is such a bad thing.

Larry has NEVER wanted to be here.

Jared doesn't want to be here.

Tony can't afford a rebuild at this point in his career.


For the optomist here, what year will the Chiefs be in the Super Bowl? It OBVIOUSLY won't happen in the next few years since "Herm is such a bad coach," so why wouldn't you trade Tony? This isn't a ZERO SUM game. The Chiefs will still throw on the downs they need to throw. It will just be thrown to a different target. Most of those receptions will just be dispersed amongst the new TE and the WRs. Just be Gonzo would be gone doesn't mean you lose 1000 receptions.

My whole point is why get rid of a guy that we KNOW is there for a first down consistently for someone we HOPE is going to be there. Adress the needs we have with the 10 draft picks we have now.

None...I guarantee it....the NFL record for Pass attempts is owned by Drew Bledsoe with 691 (1994)...for his team to have even 1/2 of the 1000 receptions mentioned he'd have to complete about 72.3% of his passes...a full 2% higher than Ken Anderson NFL record 70.5% (1982).

To put it in perspective that everyone can understand, this year the Patriots had a very pass-happy offense and Brady only had 578 pass attempts...assume his backup had another 10-15 in mop-up duty and that means they approached 600 attempts. Brady had a very nice completion percentage of 68.9%, but would've needed about 87% to get to 500 completions. Until the season is expanded to about 25 games (never) don't expect anyone to approach 1000 pass attempts, more or less completions or receptions for a team.

Canada only agrees with me about Herm being a sh!tty coach as far as I know.

This guessing as to what the draft picks or returning players would bring back works both ways. What if we trade away Gonzo and bring back a Shawn Merriman and another Jared Allen? What if we trade Allen and bring back a Tom Brady and a Larry Johnson?

Just because you guys say we won't get anything back in return for those players doesn't mean it will happen. Arguing that we won't get any good players from those draft picks isn't just a little pessimistic?

If we get rid of 3 pro bowlers and bring back 6, that wouldn't be a good trade?

Actually I think Canada's point is that trading a current pro bowl caliber player for a draft pick is more of a long shot gamble than it is a risk/reward situation.

Why don't you two agree to disagree on this topic.

TexasChief is clearly of the opinion that the team can't be fixed in the next 2-3 years and the better solution is to trade the "icons" and get value for them.

Canada is of the opinion that you don't trade away "icons" you build around them.

Its clear you two don't appreciate the others position, and frankly the rest of us are tired of watching a chick fight with no CHICKS...

Instead of building around LJ, JA and TG, we rebuild this team around a new line, Kolby Smith, Dwayne Bowe, Jeff Webb, Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson, Jarrad Paige, Bernard Pollard, Tank Tyler, Marcus McBride, Brodie Croyle, the 4 First RD PICKS that we COULD have this season and any other starter we could land in the rest of the draft.


But according to y'all, the only players on this team are Allen, Gonzo and LJ.

This team can be SO much more....but it does take risk and sacrifice.

How bout a little group fun?

If this team is REALLY gonna take a couple years and "major reconstructive surgery" over that span to become a contender again, who should be on and stay on this team? Who will be too old when we are good? Who could we trade now to bring more draft picks?

Here's some fun to get started that will surely get some feathers ruffled.

Trade Tony Gonzales: He's been the ultimate Chief and it's a shame Peterson couldn't get him a ring. The best way he can do that now is to trade him to a contender for a #1 pick or a young, good player.

Trade Jared Allen: Negotiate a sign and trade with Allen. Tell him to list 10 teams he would accept a trade to and get the best possible bounty you can for arguably the best pass rusher in league. Perhaps a first rounder and more.

Trade Larry Johnson: Get ANYTHING you can for him. Huge contract with big questions after an injury laden 2007. This one may be best to move next season.

I think those 3 players, the best the Chiefs have to offer in the prime of their careers would bring huge bounty to help with the rebuilding. Bringing in a bunch of first rounders and more young players may require just one more "rebuilding year.

So, who else should stay and who else should go?

WTF????? TimSatt is gone? I missed it. Sorry to hijack the thread, but if I may say so:


































:yahoo:






I say trade LJ because you need a line for an RB to be successful. Keep everyone else. UNLESS you are saying trade TG just to let him have a chance at a ring and to show a little class.

If they trade Jared Allen - a young player in his prime who is excelling despite mediocrity around him, that what the hell are you building?

Timsatt has had some decent times, it is just that his bad far outweighed the good.

McCain, Romney or Guiliani would all have to select a running mate that can gather and motivate the conservative groups. All 3 of these guys can attract fiscal conservatives and many moderates, however they lose the NRA, religious and Pro-Life votes...which are core numbers for the GOP.

The one thing about Rudi is he'd foce the Dem (whoever it is) to actually campaign in CA and NY seriously...which would make a number of other states harder for the Dems to win.

Personally as long as Hillary or McCain don't win, I guess I'll look at the next President as better than the worse case scenario.
