    Default Elway's a fool for signing some FA's he has...

    Yep, that's right. I think Elway's a fool for signing Ware and Talib in particular. I'm not alone, several pro analyst articles I've read have more or less said the same...the signings were "risky".

    I don't know why some Chiefs fans are worried and think the donkey signings were so great. Below is a quote from one pro analyst:

    "Ware was just released by the Dallas Cowboys Tuesday afternoon at the official start of the NFL free-agent period: the team didn't want to carry his $16 million salary cap figure for the 2014 season. Ware turns 32 before the start of the season, was hampered by quad injuries and finished with a career low six sacks in a career low 13 games."

    I don't know why some think the signing of Talib was all that great, either. The quote below is from another NFL pro analyst giving thoughts on the donkey's latest signings:

    "Talib is a risk, too. He's had hip injuries and also incurred some off field issues, which ran him out of Tampa Bay just a few years ago. Plus, last we saw of him he was being taken out in the playoff game by the Bronco' Wes Welker on a play Bill Belichick called one of the dirtiest he had ever seen. Clearly, Talib has forgotten, or was charmed by dollar signs, whatever."

    The donkey's signed two injury prone aging players. One of which has had off field issues, too, and another coming off his worst career year ever, and they spent $87 million to sign those two "risky" players. I don't call that making "great" moves on Elway's part, rather, call it foolish.

    Elway's ego has more to do with who he's signing than any other factor. He's trying to make a media splash because his ego LOVES the attention, but he's also trying to redeem himself & the franchise after their pathetic humiliating Super Bowl loss. He's really not that smart of a GM.

    He's been signing aging injury prone players, including Manning, at the end of their careers chasing one Super Bowl win, that's it. He's trying to build a one year SB winning team. He's not preparing for the future, nor for a team that can compete consistently for consecutive seasons. Hey, maybe it's worth it to some, but I'd rather have a wise GM like Dorsey, who builds more through the draft, homegrown young and healthy players who can compete for years to come, and win consistently and for more than one season. I want a Dorsey & Reid dynasty, like Green Bay & the Pats built...not a one year contender.

    I asked him straight out if he was a Broncos fan. That's my statement, not Brd's. Look at the responses I got and judge for yourself if I got a straight answer. If it looks like a duck, walks like duck, and quacks like a duck...It should come as no surprise that someone calls it out as a duck. And if he'd said "yes", it's not like he'd been kicked off the board, plenty of fans on the board from other teams. The red flags for me were the constant little argument starting cracks, all the supportive statements of the Broncos (he sourced a report from a website founded by CRAIG MORTON era donks fans), and never a compliment about a Chiefs player.

    A lot of folks seem to be trying to turn this into Brd's accountability for his thoughts on the Broncos. Where's Doobs' accountability for the stuff he's posted?

    hahaha bash a former chiefs player THAT THREW THE FANBASE UNDER THE BUS!!!

    Eric Winston threw a fan base under the bus to where ESPN and all the sports networks were calling Chiefs fans Classless

    No, it that's in ADDITION to a lot of other things you've posted that's making you less of a fan.

    Did Brady and the Pats get the call in Carolina last year at the end of the game? Or in the AFC championship game? No, they didn't.

    Please illustrate some examples regarding "every team cheating" instead of just throwing out nonsense.

    That smacks of a "can't attack the message, so attack the messenger" type statement.

    Guess again, clod. I already pointed out an example of the Hawks fans calling out the Donkeys getting away with blatant holding and not getting called for it in the SB. I'm not the only Chiefs fan pointing it out. I personally know a Raiders fan named Grant whose pointed it out & says the Donks cheated their way to those SB's in '97 and '98 & I'll bet I could hunt down multiple other Raiders fans that would say the same thing, as it was Al Davis that led that investigation regarding the Donkeys being over the salary cap in 96 -- 98.

    So you believe that denver is the only team thta cheats and every other team plays without cheating? You think the refs get EVERY call, no call gets by them unless they ref a broncos game then they let things slide?

    On the contrary, it does help me when multitudes of others are acknowledging the same thing and they aren't all Chiefs fans.

    And regarding the Donks fans in your hometown that wouldn't rank Elway #1, does that mean you alone by yourself? I'm willing to bet it does.

    Nice try at side-stepping what I asked, but you fail.

    Once again you are humping your neighbors dog & ripping things out of context. Nobody said they thought "the refs get every call". What was said that they are blatantly ignoring holding calls on the Donks & there was pictorial evidence to prove it & that they would indeed have thrown a flag on any of the other teams, because I've seen the refs throw the flags on the other teams, just like they did to Seattle in the SB when the refs saw holding and it was blatantly obvious.
