Hardcore player evaluation.

[texaschief]

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?

I will thanks. I am pretty sure that is how you started your nite off here tonite, so stop crying when someone does it back to you.

Why would you want to build your franchise around a declining TE?

wow...yeah, that was rough....my bad.

Dude...enough with the friggin' StL Rams Parrot...I FRIGGIN' HATE THOSE COLORS (caps intended!!!)

You could lose 100 pretty easy.

Really? 100? so you DO believe it's zero sum and that Gonzo's replacement would catch zero passes all season?

(Although you can decide for yourself what he is eating...)

Yeah, if your first post wasn't telling off Guru and HH for being so negative then you would be right dipsh!t

What is the average for TE's in receptions around the league?

What are the odds we will get someone with even a quarter of his talents?

Shocker, the parrots parrot has a parrot

[prough91]

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.

Really? 100? so you DO believe it's zero sum and that Gonzo's replacement would catch zero passes all season?

You said 1000 receptions, I thought you meant with the new TE and WR's, with T.G. gone we would lose 1000 receptions, which I don't know how that would be possible, so I was just saying if for some record setting reason, our receiver core caught 1000, I said they could lose 100. What team catches 1000 receptions?
