Yup. And Nate to the clue factory.

But if we trust the process, maybe we can start the next rebuild a year or two later.

We could easily trade Shady for a sixth. Or maybe package Hyde and Poyer for a seventh that could become a sixth.

I'm not so sure. We have a bunch of high picks. We could sign 3-4 solid players in free agency. And if we get rid of a couple more of our stars for sixth rounders, those picks could really pan out.

Nate threw two. I think those should count.

CTE in a living poster?

Not necessarily. A lot of us believe and/or we're told by people close to org that Terry made that happen. Saint Doug asked for too much. Terry all but made him quit because he wanted him to.

The better question may be why does anyone following the NFL like Bleacher Report?

It's possible, in retrospect, that McDermott thought that Tyrod was playing so poorly that if he started and won the Chargers game, that win could set the franchise back a decade.

Keeping Darcy and Lindy was probably more blunderful than Beanie and Cecil.

So Tyrod it is? Thanks!

I'm thinking more like "All hat and no cattle."

Unfortunately, on the leadership council, McDermott just replaced Tyrod with Nate, Kyle with Cedric Thornton, and Steven Hauschka with Reid Ferguson.

I saw Larry Csonka get an unnecessary roughness penalty called against him while he was carrying the ball.

Practice and preseason are played at approximately 3/4 speed. A lot of guys look good or great in practice but cannot replicate in real games. RJ is a good example. He couldn't handle the pressure or rush a huge portion of the time, which was non-existent in practice and preseason. The best example to me was Trent Edwards. He also was a practice and preseason all-star. And don't talk to me about the 4-0 or 5-1 start before he got clobbered. We won a few games but he wasn't that good and didn't show the talents he needed to show to be good regardless of raw stats. When Chan was made coach originally, he saw how good Trent looked in practice and preseason, and thought, as good and great coaches do, that I have a lot to work with here, and I can coach him up. He started Trent for two or three games and immediately saw that TE couldn't handle the rush. All he could do, like Peterman, was read the defense pre-snap, make a quick decision and with his quick release throw an accurate short completion. Chan didn't decide to bench him for Fitzy the backup, Chan just cut Trent. You never see that. He probably just didn't want to be tempted again. The same thing happened to McDermott with Peterman.

Fwiw, I saw both Ryan Groy and Conor McDermott warming up on the sidelines, coming out of three point stances, but didn't notice either way whether they got in the game in regular OL positions. And it wasn't during any injury timeout or anything.

They are very different quarterbacks. I have no inside baseball info but I just think he is waiting a few days to announce that TT is starting, and the Chiefs have to spend the next couple preparing for both.

Tailgate was great. Had a terrific time with New Era and Heitz et al. Then the game. Ugh. Nice little stadium. They couldn't even sell out 27,000. Good place to watch the game from though, and a beautiful day in LA.

In his defense, he had to call that pass. He didn't have Mike Jasper available for the game to hand it off to.

Shoot me. Oh, wait... McBeane already did.

Which is kinda surprising considering if Peterman played the entire game and only threw three interceptions in the second half it would have been an enormous improvement.

About 225 yards considering punts.

He definitely looked better than Mike Jasper back there, I mean Tolbert.
