Just once I would like to see KC........

**KcBigChief** · 03-02-2008, 06:55 PM

Just once Id like to see KC go after a Marquis player, a big name athlete, a leader. Don't even say Donnie Edwards either, we just brought him back home where he belongs.

Seriously, there are a LOT of Free Agents out there in key positions that could help this team ean respect in the league and confidense in the locker room. Every time I see teams like phill'y and the Brown's picking up great players to booster there roster I wonder to myself, what is KC doing? Who are they looking at? What free Agent are they talking too? But the answer is REALLY noone.

Every High profile free agent in the off-season is surrounded by possibility's and rumors and interest from numorous teams. So far this off-season NONE of these players have seen ANY interest from the chiefs.

Take Chad Johnson for example. Here is an ALL-PRO reciever who is wanting out of cinncinati. We need a top reciever as bad as ANY team in the league. He would be a GREAT complement to bowe, (Who by the way is going to see a TON of double coverage next year if we don't get him another threat.) plus he has said in the past that he loves playin in Arrowhead because of the loud croud and college atmosphere.

Now, I understand that chances are he's gonna go where he can get the biggest $$$$. BUT, so far KC has not lifted ONE finger or shown an ounce of interest in Johnson. Why? Can any of you tell me that he's not worth ATLEAST and interest. I would think we could atleast call his agent and see if there was ANY chance he'd be interested in KC.

Once you do that, ESPN catches wind of it and ALL of a sudden theres a story. Then little guys like us can feel better about our Chiefs in knowing we atleast showed some interest in a guy like Johnson.......BUT NO!!!!

Like Iv'e said before, get used to the Chiefs relying on the little guy. Fine by me, but I bet if you put Johnson on one side, Bowe on the other, Parker in the slot, Johnson in the backfield and Gonzo at tight end, you have a defensive cord. with a bigger cup of coffee in front of him than his usual.

ONE player can make a HUGE difference. We need more help than that but my point is we NEED to go get us a LEADER. ROOKIES don't lead very often, they are ROOKIES. Just a bunch of young, unproven guys who have more money than they had the day before.

Remember the quote, "rookie Mistakes". A leader helps minimize the amout of those a team has. If we don't find us a couple THREATS, leaders, dominate force, BIG NAME players......we are just another Buffalo Bill.

You are just cherry-pickin' the numbers that support the theory. While I am pretty much doing the same from the opposite angle. Some teams win it with a top-flight defense, some don't. Some win it with a top-flight offense, some don't.

Showing me that the Giants were "#4" in postseason defense is far from amazing. That's fourth, out of twelve. Barely in the top third.

Only once in the last ten seasons, has the best defense won it, three times for a top-five defense, and, well, having a top-ten defense is really just having a good defense, not so much a great defense.

While you want to have a great defense, and a great offense, neither is detrimental to winning a Super Bowl.

Which is obvious by the point differential of the Giants this season. (21.9 allowed, 23.3 scored, +1.4 points per game.)

The Giants were very average on both sides of the ball, and won a Super Bowl. While the Patriots were dominant on both sides, and lost a Super Bowl.

Defense does not win championships. Champions win championships.

How am i "cherry picking?" I'm not the one jumping around from rushing defense, to pass defense, to points allowed to pt. differential, to scoring.

The stats i showed were ONE defensive category. "TOTAL DEFENSE." I posted the same category from 98 to 07. I'm comparing apples to apples. Not apples to every other fruit imaginable.

Well, since I started the conversation about the Giants being 17th, going off of scoring defense, (Apples) and you decided to switch it to defensive yardage (Oranges) I would call that cherry picking.

How do you like them apples?

(That statement needed to be made.)

But it is irrelevant to the basis of the discussion. The fact remains that building a top-five defense doesn't really get you much. Certainly not enough to warrant the "defense wins championships" statement.
