Let's imagine 2016, without $12 million or whatever it was going to Berry, or his huge contract extension last year, which averages $13 million, in which the Chiefs essentially won 10 games without him. Do you really believe that the Chiefs wouldn't have won 12 in 2016 and 10 in 2017 had they put that $25 million (or whatever the number) into the D line, WR corp or secondary? If so, how can you say that with a straight face? |

Conley is super fast and really bad about getting separation with crisp routes. Landry is a machine at getting open and making catches in crowds when he's absolutely #1 in the defenses mind to try and prevent that very thing. Conley gets like 2 catches in a game maybe and one will be for big yards because he's a big streaker outside receiver. Landry is a slot who set the franchise record for catches twice in his first four years. They could not be more dissimilar and would be a great combo with Hill taking the top off. We can't afford him but your hard pass is super ignorant. |
Berry basically won the Atlanta game himself, and brought KC back with his pick six in Carolina while Alex was shitting the bed in Carolina.

Given his recent history of an attitude problem that resulted in a suspension, do you feel confident that #22 would give a maximum effort for the team on a year that he feels 15M under paid(2018 maybe) or if he was franchised tagged against his will? My concern is that he'll go into a tantrum mode and will not help, but would hurt the locker room under that circumstance. If the decision makers trust him under those conditions or choose to give him a new contract, fine. They know more than I do, but I don't think I'll ever be a fan of his in any way. |

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, hope no one minds me just dropping it here. Got this email from Pro Football Focus about "10 record-breaking rookies from the 2017 NFL season" Pretty damn eye-popping stats for Kareem Hunt in terms of elusiveness when compared to other rookies over the last 12 seasons.
3. Kareem Hunt, RB, Kansas City Chiefs PFF Era Record Broken: Most missed tackles forced by a rookie running back Hunt’s NFL career started in the worst way imaginable after he fumbled on his first professional carry, but from then on, he was near-flawless and he ended the year with an overall grade of 88.9, the third-highest grade among running backs. At the close of the campaign, Hunt’s 1,327 rushing yards were good enough to claim the league’s rushing title, while his 527 yards from breakaway runs (runs of 15-plus yards) were also good for first among players at the position. However, it was Hunt’s elusiveness that truly separated him from the pack. On the ground, he forced a colossal 61 missed tackles as a runner, 13 more than the next running back this year and four more than any other rookie running back in PFF history. Add in the 16 missed tackles that he forced as a receiver and you get a total of 77 missed tackles, nine more than any rookie running back has managed over the last 12 seasons. https://www.profootballfocus.com/new...f778-191479837 |
Kareem Hunt runs a 4.7 40.
HARD pass. |

Anyway, you were definitely on the "Berry is way overrated" train. Sorry for the mishmash quotes. They were just all pretty good discussions. It's funny to re-read them. Quote:

I never took issue with you saying you didn't think that a safety wasn't worth the contract or that you'd prefer we spend that cap elsewhere. I only took issue with you saying he just wasn't that good because it clearly isn't true.

I do find it interesting that the defense in the game Peters did not play, the defense probably had their best game of the season.
52 less passing yards than the average per game for the 15 games in which Peters played. 52 less rushing yards as well. Gave up 7 points less than the average. And forced 3 turnovers. The numbers for that one game were top 3 defensive numbers for the season. While it was just 1 game, it is interesting. |

The dude averages 10 YPC. You want to trade picks and $16m of cap space for a guy who needs to catch 120 balls to crack 1,000 yards. You're a real ****ing genius. I understand completely how differently they're used. Doesn't change the fact that they're both possession receivers. We've got the one who's bigger, stronger, faster and can jump higher at a fraction of the cost. And I'm honestly not convinced that Chris couldn't match the mighty Landry's 60 yards per game if we targeted him as frequently as the Fins do JL. Conley>Landry all ****ing day. |

A team just doesn't simply get better while losing an All-Pro player. The Chiefs with Peters>>>>>the Chiefs without Peters. |

I'd have rather spent the $25 million given to Berry elsewhere. At this point, he's held together by Super Glue and Duct Tape. The Chiefs would be a better team had they invested it elsewhere. |
