Coming back to this thread, and **** this dude.
He was always about the money. He can go ringless and suck a dick. We actually did make him an offer and he took the one from TN. So **** this dude |

Yep. Bet he'd have had a hell of a lot more fun in KC than Nashville this season. And he'd still be rich.

And that was something I said in that other thread I got pushed back on. These dudes already have generational wealth. So getting that extra 3 million or whatever isn't doing shit. IT's a degree of selfishness I cannot identify with. A lot of these guys don't want to build a legacy or be great. They just want to get paid. |

Come on, we could do this whole discussion again without the "but we have Toney and Skyy Moore" aspect

I think it hurt us by not getting silverback, but helped us getting a lot of bargain FAs, as well over the last few years. They have to decide they want to be great to sign here. No dollar chasers, only ring chasers allowed. |

Hopkins has always been about 'the bag' first and everything else second.
If he comes here cheap, it's because nobody else offered to pay him. I have no idea why anyone is still interested in this ass. |

Well DHop, turns out you need the Chiefs more than the Chiefs needed you. Shame the WR cult still won't see that. |

Guy cares about only one thing - getting the most money he can. And whatever, it's his job - I get it. But can we stop pretending like Brett Veach is going to go win a bidding war for an over 30 WR at this point? We don't need to. Even if you avoid making moral judgments ("who needs someone who cares more about money than winning?") it's a simple math and precedent thing. Pretty hard to ask our own guys if they can take a little less when we're negotiating with them only to turn around and get into bidding wars for guys with no equity in the franchise. |

Man, just think, with Hopkins we might have won a ring this year.

Lol, no I can see. Mooney hasn't even caught 3000 yds in 4 years, 3 whole TDs in the last two. He's nothing. DHop, otoh, has had terrible QBs, and still has seven 1,000 yd seasons. In fact, he's played with more shitty QBs than good ones. just last season he did it again with three of the worst QBs in the league. So don't try to sell me that BS about how Mooney just hasn't had a good QB to throw to him. DHop has several seasons of shitty QB play; didn't stop him from catching 1,000 yds/yr seven times. And in case you didn't notice, we're on the doorstep of a three-peat. You don't half-ass things when you're on the verge of history. You push your chips in and make it happen, the cap be damned. If KC three-peats, there is no argument anymore about which team is the greatest of all time. No more arguing about which dynasty s the best of all time. No arguing about who is the best HC. No need for Pat to try t win 7 SBs if he three-peats. Clark Hunt has to know, because he's not an idiot, that winning the SB in 2024 and three-peating short-circuits all of those arguments. his Chiefs automatically become the greatest franchise in NFL history. And he becomes the greatest owner of all time. He should be pushing Veach/Andy to go all-in this season. It's his ship, after all. He should be telling those guys, "yeah, we'll probably have some cap issues two/three seasons from now, but we'll have done the impossible, and we'll be at the top of a whole new mountain; the one team that won three SBs in a row." **** sakes. See the big picture. |

Washed up, lol. 1057 yds, 14.1 yd/reception, 48 1st downs, 62 yds/gm, . . . all while getting double- and occasionally triple-teamed. Didn't actually watch him play, eh? And who the **** give a crap about some potential WR3? **** signing some bottom-tier WR, in the distant hope that he might become a decent 4th option, lol. And is probably just as likely to shit the bed, because he has no actual statistical history of being a good WR. |
