My thoughts about the JA issue

**bigpoppachief** · 04-18-2008, 01:54 PM

I am a super chiefs fan. last season was a horrible roller coaster ride. I love JA and thank god for him and D Bowe because i just might have killed myself if not for them. But let's look at this situation in trading JA for some picks. Honestly it make sense . Will I like not having JA in a chiefs uniform NO but after this season is over and JA leaves because of BS then would i look back and say Maybe we should of gotten something for JA YEah Def, I mean we got to realize JA really wont want to be in KC because of carl so more then likely he will leave next year and even if he didn't what happens if he doesnt perform to standard due to more double teams and such. Yes Jared Allen is a great player but he can't save the chiefs himself It pains me but I think if we can get more quality picks in the long run it might just be the thing to do.

I'm not saying that isn't possible but I simpy don't see that happening here.

Who were you referring to?

Anyone who thinks that any owner would move a team from a city where they've been setting record attendance records for at least a decade and where the fan base is still in the top 3 in attendance during a 4-12 season. That's just nonsense.

I agree with you in principle, but its not totally out of the realm of possibilities, however, not probable as it may be. Look at the Cleveland Browns.

Well then I agree with you.

LA doesn't have a stadium and no NFL team will move to play in the old Coliseum, especially the Chiefs. Move from one old stadium to another? no.

Besides, moving from KC to LA would be a lateral move at best for the Hunts. LA has had NFL teams before and couldn't do enough to support them. Why would you risk a top 5 attendance for a city who's had two chances to support a team and couldn't handle it?

It's a poor business risk and the Hunts haven't made too many of those in the past.

Agreed, I to don't see it happening; just playing devils advocate.
