Hello all,
Seeing the thread about Tyreke possibly seeking a trade, I wanted to pick back up on this subject. My original post mentioned the AFCW upgrading QB talent, big time as a reason for not building our team to beat KC. Since then, I have thought of the playoff run the Chiefs have been on over the past few years. They've had quite a run. Thing is, I remember our 90's Bills going on a sustained run and it was awesome(save for the SB's), but after so many seasons played AND the extra playoff games, there comes a point where our key guys were just worn down. Everyone seems to "get up" for you more so than, say the Jets. Playing the Bills at that time was the "Super Bowl" for a lot of teams. With KC, not only has the division gotten a lot tougher, but key guys are getting older or seeking to get paid. Kelcey is 32 yrs old, I believe and he has a lot of wear on those tires. Honey badger left for more $. A glance at their roster doesn't show a ton of players over 30 years old, but the key players have to be wearing down after a long playoff run. I believe Kelcey has played an extra 15 games over the course of his time here. That's almost a full extra season for such a key player. A few players nearing the age of 30 will probably feel this effect too. If Tyreke stays, he's 28 and has a ton of wear with the extra games played. Just curious if anyone thinks their time is up due to these extra games wearing them down over the past few years. Thoughts and thanks.
EDIT: Tyreke gone to Miami. Changes this, drastically.
