With the exception of Larry Johnson, I have seen that happen with everyone who has left or come to KC. We hate a guy until he has arrowheads on his helmet, and once a guy trades his Chiefs uniform for another one, we hate him. Sure, there may be different levels of hate, but you sure don't care as much about a guy not here anymore.
My example is Tony Gonzalez. I don't give two poops if that guy gets a super bowl ring- especially since he left KC because he didn't think he could get one here. So, getting a ring was more important than staying in KC, so good riddance. Other people still love the guy and wish the best for him. I hope Atlanta goes 5-11 every year he's there. I'm bitter about his leaving.
I think Brian Waters IS still a good lineman, but it wasn't my decision to cut him, and I don't know why we did. But... we did, so we move forward without him, and complaining about it isn't going to help. I am intrigued by the fact that he's not on another team yet.
