....you're being called out by a guy who looks like a flaming hypocrite? Was there a different way you thought of completing that sentence?

It tells me that Von Miller actually had ACL surgery known to put a player on the shelf for 8-14 months, after which no one expected him to play. So not really a good comparator. What does it tell you? The only one I've heard mouthing off is Sammy Watkins, is there anyone else? You may know this, but Lamar's injury is a torn PCL. That's a different situation than Mike Vick's torn MCL. For anyone who doesn't know, PCL stands for posterior cruciate ligament which, like ACL or anterior cruciate ligament, are two ligaments that criss-cross in the interior of the knee and stabilize it. The posterior collateral ligament and lateral collateral ligament are important, but because they go down the inside and outside of the knee, their function is easier to replace with a brace. It's confusing because they all have "C" in there but the "C" stands for different positions/functions. And Sorry Not Sorry to Mike Vick, but no one on earth, Ever, should accept career advice from this guy. I hate it that he still has a platform.

Okay

How on earth do you define "low end #2"? And then what places Tik Tok Boy into that category in your eyes? I'll hang up and listen.

Take aged well (I thought so too)

Just a note, if you embed what you write inside what someone else writes, it vanishes when they quote your post to respond. MVS has contributed for the Chiefs, slightly better than what he historically contributed in 4 years as the #3 guy in GB. He averaged 30 receptions for 538 yds in GB; he had 42 receptions for 687 yds in KC. So if that's not what they expected, sure, they made a mistake, but since he exceeded his career averages by 30-40%, I would say he delivered what they should have expected. Juju SS came pretty close to a 1000 yd season and 24 for receiving yards and receptions. That's not a star, but it's not "barely a step up from JAG" unless you have a peculiar definition of JAG.

Yes, I mentioned the reason: he was playing hurt. That's why you got him on a $3.7M prove-it deal. But he's not a "scrub"; he's a quality NFL WR who went through some bad QB play and played injured, thus he needed a prove-it chance with a proven great QB. Win win. Like I said, he ain't Cheetah or Davonte Adams but he's not a scrub. As for MVS, if he's a scrub, why sign him to $30M/3 yr with half guaranteed? That would be stupid. KC's personnel office is proven "not stupid". Answer: he's not a #1 or a #2, but he's a very very good #3, not a scrub. Allen, by the way, is throwing to a 6th year player making just over vet minimum salary and a 4th round pick in his 3rd season. I wouldn't call them scrubs, but KC fans would have to work hard to make an argument that JSS and MVS aren't proven better. And he contributes such a high amount of our rushing attack that we go from 9th in the league, to 27th or something like that, when all QB rush yards get taken out of the rushing stats. That's what Bills fans mean when they say Allen contributes such a high % of our offense. Mahomes is brilliant, but he just has more tools. Frankly, our FO made a serious miscalculation that we could replace our previous quality vets (Sanders, Beasley) with said 6th year player and said former 4th round pick, and Jamison Crowder. Now the FO couldn't predict Crowder's broken leg, but it expected the other guys would take a step that they haven't.

Hi. KC doesn't rush often, but they have quite a competent rushing attack that doesn't heavily depend upon Mahomes. 4.7 ypa, 8 th in the league. Mahomes contributes 20 ypg to the 116 ypg total. Which is, just a bit below league average of 120 ypg. So yeah, the Chiefs do have a rushing attack. If you gonna shill for your team, do so from a position of facts, not this "oh poor woe is Chiefs all we have is scrub wide receivers like former probowler Juju SS and the former Packer we're paying $10M/yr" and "oh poor woe is Chiefs we can't run even though when we try we chop off 4.7 ypa which is top-10 in the league"

"A bunch of scrub WR?" ROTFL. Juju Smith Schuster is far from a "scrub WR". He came close to 1000 yds as a rookie and was pro-bowl with 111 receptions and >1400 yds his 2nd year. He fell off in 2019 with the likes of Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges throwing to him, and in 2021 when he was injured and only played 5 games, but other than that, he's been what he's been for the Chiefs this year - a 58 yd per game, 77% catch guy. If he's a scrub and never had it, why did the Chiefs pay him $3.8M on a 1 year "prove you still got it after your injuries" deal? And if Marquez Valdes-Scantling is such a scrub, why did KC offer him 3 years, $30M guaranteed? These guys aren't Davonte Adams or Tyreek Hill, but they're at worst, proven good quality NFL receivers. If he's a scrub, why did KC draft Skyy Moore in the 2nd round? Kadarius Toney cost next year's 3rd round pick, and of course Mecole Hardmen is a former 2nd round Chiefs pick. That's a goodly draft pick investment for "a bunch of scrubs.

I'm Over this thing of having QBs actual rookie years written off for Reasons. "He didn't play!" "He had terrible coaching!" You're on an NFL roster, it counts as your rookie year whether you sat on the bench eating kumquats or had a bad coach or played behind a total sieve of an OL and threw to guys who shoulda been bagging groceries

The fact that the Chargers managed 67 rush yds on 23 carries, may have had something to do with it.

LOL who was it, Chris Simms or Jason Garret who was telling us before the game about how Herbert was the best QB? I forget all that was said but it was praising how great he was at making his reads and knowing where to go with the ball on time and he was the best passer from the pocket

If I were the Chargers kicker and missed a FG then we lost by 1 point on a Jax FG, I’d shake hands and congratulations but I sure wouldn’t be laughing and smiling

?? Thought the Chiefs beat the Chargers 2x this season?

I will say this. If there’s one coach who could pull out all the stops and come up with a super creative game plan to outfox Reid, that would be Pederson

No, what happened?

Big Dick Doug doesn’t seem creative enough to match him. Could we call him Prodigious Penis Pederson?

Really unfathomable. Staley had such a fantastic defensive game plan in the first half and in the second half it was like it all evaporated like a plate of 200 proof alcohol in the sun

Pederson will see to it that they don’t

3 backs behind the QB like a sneak and then hand off to Etienne. Yep that sound you hear is Pederson’s balls clanking

Chargers have officially Chargered!

I like the alliteration

It’s like the great D the Chargers were playing in the 1st half melted under the hot Florida afternoon sun… …oh wait, it’s 11 pm

And that’s fine. But either call penalties or don’t call penalties, be consistent.

Even if it is - that kind of thing has been going un-called all game long, which is fine - but call the game consistently
