This thread is almost a year old dude.

He could very well become an injury casualty just like 1990 1st round pick Percy Snow and 2000 1st round pick Sylvester Morris and end up delivering Pizza to your doorstep.Plus, Pollard and Page never got the chance to play under Romeo Crennel and Emmitt Thomas, so who knows what might have been if they had stayed.
Also, other rookie Safeties, Earl Thomas and Nate Allen look to be just as good as Berry, if not better and I doubt that Berry is ever going to be a whole lot better than either of those guys. The point figrostic is making is that it wasn’t necessary to spend the #5 overall pick on a Safety and I agree. You can get good Safeties anywhere in the draft as it’s the easiest position on Defense to fill. Ed Reed and Troy Polumalu weren’t even drafted in the top 15.
The argument that Berry might get hurt one day, is one that you could make for any player at any position in the league. So that doesn’t really do much for me.
As far as being able to “get good safeties anywhere and it’s the easiest position to fill,” I’m not sure where you came up with that either.
Polomalu and Reed and even Earl Thomas were all first rounders, so once again, not quite sure the point.
The number 5 pick is supposed to be used for the best player available. Taking Okung is not reality. Branden Albert was and is the starting LT on this team and they were not going to pay a RT top 5 money.
Respectfully, you don’t seem to understand how important the safety position is to our defense and this football team in general.
Safety was the biggest need of the offseason and the weakest link on the team last year. So far it looks like both safety positions have been taken care of for many years to come.
As far as Pollard goes, he’s playing for the 32nd ranked defense in pro football.

Too me Pollard was a good safety, and obviously the Texans agree. I thought Okung was going to be off the board at 5 and that we were gonna pick Trent Williams and I would have been happy with that. My jaw hit the floor when Okung was on the board and Trent and the Chiefs picked a SS. People think I shouldn’t ***** because we have a good team, but one of these games our run will be shut down and Cassel is going to need to make some big throws our line has played better but is he going to be able to have the time he needs to make a 5 step drop and hit a wr 35-40 yards deep.Respectfully, you might want to watch that film breakdown that I posted a few days ago. Berry has already played better than Pollard in only 3 games of his career.
I respect your opinion, but based on what I’ve seen, Pollard is nowhere near what Berry is and what he is going to be. A few folks out there might say that I know a thing or two.
Sure Berry has played over aggressive twice this year and bit on an underneath route or play action, but Pollard and Page used to do that every single game and they had no where near the run stopping ability that Berry has shown.
McCluster, Moeaki, and Arenas are gettting a lot of pub right now, but Berry will end up being the best selection in this draft and will be one of our defense’s finest players next to Tamba and Flowers.
12/24/2009 at 11:52 pm in reply to: ChiefsCrowd.com Article : My Take On Haley Giving The Bird To A Chiefs Fan #916970nwbearcat21;172113 wrote:I’m not saying he gave the fan the finger because I doubt he did. That article is more a rip of jack harry though than it is looking into what may have actually happened. And in reality it wasn’t jack harry who broke the news about shanahan it was chris mortenson on espn who jack cited as a source then espn withdrew it later.Also Jack did not seek the person out originally, 2 fans emailed him after the game jack then asked them for the fan who said he was flipped off’s info and simply reported what the fan said. He didn’t say it to be fact just simply what was told to him by the fan.
I don’t always agree with jack harry but I can’t just say he made up the story or anything either. He reported something that was told to him and agree or disagree with it all he did was report a story. To completely discredit a story simply because he is the one that reported it is just as bad as you say he is.
First of all. Your wrong on the Shanahan story. Jack Harry was the first one with that story. Heres the link: NBC Action News. And Here is the link that shut the door on Jack Henry after he was wrong: Jack Harry Wrong.
Second of all. Jack Harry found this fan on chiefsplanet.com after a story popped up by one of the local posters named “gblowfish.”
Harry than proceeded to email this guy to find out what happened and the fan sent him a number of long emails stating his case. If thats not “seeking the person out” than I don’t know what is.
Third. Jack Harry is one of the only reporters in this town that would make a fans email his headline story. Especially when it has to do with making a claim against a head coach of a professional football team.
Like Canada said, Somebody mentioned that they saw bigfoot and Jack Harry reported it. He is an idiot.
3 weeks ago, I said that when Brodie entered the competition he would take over. I said almost verbatim that Thigpen would stand no chance against him and it doesn’t surprise me one bit that he is giving Cassell a hard time. Brodie is awsome. He is a pure bread QB with a cannon. Like JM said: “Brodie would be a HOF QB if this was flag football.” I love that Quote J. Anyway, It’s not flag football and unfortunatly if Brodie starts, the backup will be in soon after.
Good thread. I’ve been reading about this guy since it happened. Turns out, this guy is in like a “tug a war” with all these other teams now and will probably make more than he was gonna with the Choakland Gayders.
Nice work on the combine stats AKChief, impressive sheet for a second day pick.
Im in, lets get him!

You aren’t doing anything wrong but I will say this, any Fantasy Football guru that thinks they can run a real team simply because they are a Ace at Fantasy Football is a fool. That was my entire point and why would I want to play a game that isn’t to my liking? All I am saying is simply this, there is a reason the GM’s in the NFL make millions of dollars of Salary, because they know wtf they are doing for REAL. I will never attempt to play Fantasy Football and your correct, I never have even tried. I have so much on my schedule now that I don’t have the time and even if I did have the time I would most likely find somethinng else to do. I watch just enough tv to cover football season and I watch wrestling. I usually record that and watch it while laying in bed instead of watching David Letterman. Don’t feel as though I am insulting fantasy football players, just keep in mind that in no way could a FF guru ever be a GM for real. I doubt Scott Pioli plays LMAO!!!
pCe my friend……..:bananen_smilies046:PS: I never have done the franchise mode on Madden, I just play a season and usually don’t make it to the end due my schedule.SH!T happens.
The more I read your posts, the more I think that you are 15 years old. Its been a while since I bombed on anybody here at “The Crowd.” But I cant help myself right now. What are you on? You sound higher than Tamaric Vanover after a Bam Morris drug deal. “Thats why GM’s make millions of dollars of salary.” WTF are you talking about? Millions of dollars of salary? All the guy said is that Bradley scored him some fantasy points and you want to make sure he knows that he is not qualified to be a GM. Thanks Sherlock! For a second there I thought he was taking Pioli’s spot. Who mentioned GM’s anyway? I thought this was a Bradley Thread.
Then we had to hear about your friend who lost his wife because of Fantasy football and how he goes to a Fantasy football group meeting to kick the addiction. Seriously? I think him and his wife have bigger fish to fry.
You said that you are WAY to busy to participate in Fantasy Football. Funny. For a guy with such a busy lifestyle, why do you have 3 times the posts that I do and you have only been a member since February. I can guarantee you that Fantasy football takes a lot less time than you spend here! Its a once a week, maybe twice a week thing. And YES, it DOES take a pretty knowledgeable person to win a Fantasy Championship, especially if you are in a money league. Does that mean that the winner thinks that he could be a GM? NO. Its a computer game! “just keep in mind that a FF guru could not be a GM.” Thanks for that Chris. By the way, If the Chiefs DID have players who scored alot of fantasy points, they would be MUCH closer to a Championship than they are now. THE BET-TER THEY ARE IN RE-AL LIFE, THE BET-TER THEY ARE IN FAN-TA-SY! Oh, by the way, I AM totally questioning your intelligence. As a matter of fact, Im almost positive that you are the same idiot that Coach booted in January for talking crap in a thread to Tex and I. If you aren’t, your just as smart as he was. The fact that you admittedly watch wrestling would axplain your 5th grade mentality. After that admission, you should never dis anybody again.
I guess I should finish this off by saying that its OK to say all of this because it is “my opinion.” Right Chris? IMO. Right? Just sugar coat a toilet full of your bullsh!t facts by saying IMO. Stop! its annoying and you look stupid.
Most people on this site play fantasy football and / or Madden and arent ashamed of it. So stop talking crap about something you have no idea about! I run a business, go to school at night (not right now) and have 3 kids and a wife. I still find time to do things that I enjoy, like typing this message about you!
P.S. My Wife is not leaving me Chris. HAHAHA. Please do not respond. Reading your usual comments is already too tough to handle.
jmlamerson;138535 wrote:I’ll admit that I’ve always been impressed with Page’s ballhawk skills. He will always get INTs. And you may be right. It could just be that he’s had miserable front-sevens and he will improve with age. But he just seems to miss so many tackles and get thrown on so many times a game. Except for his INTs, I haven’t seen him as anything but a liability. And you have to admit, he misses and awful lot of tackles.True, for some reason he has always refused to wrap up.
KansasCityChris;138487 wrote:Do you ever appreciate when the Chiefs get praise at any position?JM’s post wasn’t because he was mad that the Chiefs got praise, he was mad that Page was rated higher than any of our other DB’s and Pollard didnt make the list.
jmlamerson;138474 wrote:You are right. Page isn’t the worst safety in the league. He’s just the worst starting FS in the league.Not even close to the worst starting FS in the league. I could argue that at times he has been brilliant. You could come right back and tell me about blown coverages like when he bit on play action for a go ahead Charger touchdown last year. All in all, he’s inconsistent, but I do like his play in the Red Zone, usually. I know you have never been a Page fan JM, but lets face it, a FS is the center fielder, they dont play the run or blitz near as much as the strong safety and we have not had the front seven to allow any of our DB’s to be outstanding, ESPECIALLY a FS. The coaches seem to love Page. Bob Gretz said that Mike Brown would have took Pollard’s spot, not Page’s. Do I agree with that? NO. BUT, I think he’s better than you do. As far as rankings go, Page makes picks and that alone can get you some cred. He has 10 in 3 years and he’s only 24 years old. Alot of upside JM, you cant deny that. ONE MORE THING… He has closed out 3 Choakland Gaider games with picks, you know that counts for somethin J!
As long as you have a 90 year old, decrepade owner with skin disease, who drools on a towel that rest’s upon his lap, dresses like evil knievel and trades coaches for draft picks, YOU WILL NEVER BE SUCCESSFUL!!
jmlamerson;138275 wrote:San Diego isn’t as good as they were two years ago in a lot of spots (including DL and OG), but Rivers and his receivers are getting better and better every year, especially with the addition of Chambers at WR, and I think that will be the difference.Or to put it another way, they went 8-8 and won a playoff game against the Colts with Merriman and LT out. They now have English and Siler to prevent the dropoff at LB in case of injury, and Sproles proved that he can be an able backup if LT goes down, at least when he’s playing on turf and not Heinz Field. Not to mention that their schedule, like ours, isn’t really that tough. I think they’ll kill the Browns, Bengals, Skins, Cowboys, and Dolphins. I think they beat Tennessee (Week 16, when Collins will inevitably be hurt), Eagles (at home), and Ravens (at home) teams just due for slumps. And I think they go 4-2 in division. That’s twelve wins right there. Not to mention that the Giants have looked awfuly mortal without Plaxico and the Chargers certainly can beat the Raiders twice.
I know I sound like a Chargers fan, and I hate the Chargers, but their GM has built that team into an annual contender. I can’t help but admire it.
Now, here’s my plan. Pioli should offer Cassel to the Chargers for Rivers. We should leak the story that the Chargers are considering it. BAM! We have another Cutler situation and we sweep the AFC West.
Haha. Well done.
jmlamerson;138174 wrote:You’re underestimating San Diego, who I think will go (at least) 12-4. They are a very, very good team in their prime. Norv Turner isn’t exactly Bill Walsh, but he’s not as bad as his reputation suggests, and he’s taken the Chargers a whole lot farther than Matry ever did. And Oakland is a better team than they were in 2008 (of course, so are we), and we split with them in 2008.On the whole, our division isn’t as bad as everyone thinks it is. I think the AFC West ends up with a better record than the NFC West (abysmal), AFC North (Baltimore is due for a slump season), AFC East (I think only the Pats have a winning record in 2009), and maybe the NFC South (Atlanta is the only team I don’t think we beat on a neutral field).
All in all, I agree with you that we’re going to be better than a lot of people think, and, heck, I admire your enthusiasm. But talks of sweeping the division and the playoffs are just slightly premature.
I dont think San Diego is in their prime. Their best Offensive Guard plays for us now. Merriman is a huge question mark and his replacement is a rookie (Larry English.) The new D-line coach is Don Johnson who was the D-line coach for Oakland the past two seasons. Their best D-lineman Jamal Williams got a DUI earlier this year and will probably miss the first couple games. Their second best D-lineman, Igor Olshansky went to Dallas. To top it all off, they probably have the weakest Safeties in our division (Clinton Hart, Eric Weddle, not impressive.) Ladanian is old and not what he used to be and I dont think Sproles can handle more than 20 touches a game. No matter what anybody says, Norv Turner does not impress me as a head coach. Overall they have a great young quarterback and tight end, but not much else shines. Im not convinced JM. You might be right, but I just dont see it.
jmlamerson;138152 wrote:7-9 is very, very doable.I think we go 4-2 in division (losing at SD and at Oakland). I think Oakland and SD also go 4-2 in division, as the Broncos go 0-6.
Add in home wins over the rebuilding Browns and the overrated Cowboys, and a at least one win against either the Jags, Bengals, or Redskins. That’s seven right there.
I think JM is pretty close. I also have us 4-2 in the division. Although my second loss is not to Oakland, but Denver. Oakland has not been a problem for 5 years and I dont expect them to be now. The Denver game at Mile High is always the scariest game of the season. We lose there every year, Just like they lose here. If Pioli makes us 8-8, he’ll probably get his own street.
Who cares if LJ drinks. As long as it aint in KC I dont really care. NOT A BIG DEAL!
