oldtimer 8,686 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I know times are slow and we are just impatiently waiting for Sunday night and in the mean time thinking about next years roster blah blah blah So let me ask you this? IF you could chose an early exit from the playoffs ( not making it to the AFCCG) & EB getting a job made possible by his early availability , landing those extra draft picks OR going to the AFCCG knowing that the delay in EB's availabilities hurts his chances. Whadda you choose? yea I know times are slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur75 415 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Win.. There is never one person above the team. These windows of a super bowl capable team are very slim. We need to take advantage of every one because you never know when its another 50 year drought. oldtimer and qnet 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WichitaZRide 321 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Its a team sport, not a "get EB a job" sport. I want the success and if we lose out on draft picks so be it. As always, draft picks are a crapshoot and we could end up having an early exit in return for KeiVarae Russell and Tony Moeaki. I want the glory now... oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,150 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yeah, at 53 I'm getting up there myself. I'd rather see more SB wins, and the more chances they have, the better. By the time Mahomes retires, assuming he plays as long as the average QB, I will be retiring (hopefully sooner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,209 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Is the question asking whether we would prefer winning this year or hoping for a chance to win a couple of years down the road? Lunacy! The Chiefs could have two early first round choices next year and there would be no guarantee that they would win. They might end up with Brian Joswiak and Ryan Sims. Kelce could decline or Mahomes get hurt. Reid could retire or have a medical issue and the team doesn't find the next great HC. In the NFL, one has to take everything immediately. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't plan for the future, but things are so uncertain that they have to take all they can now while the team is hot. .

I'd like to think Veach a better talent evaluator than Peterson ( I think that's who it was) but your right on the flip side losing in the AFCCG and not having EB get a Job ( assumption being he would IF we dont get that far) would be dble kick in the whoo hoos. I can hear it now ..TeamX woulda taken EB but he was still OC in the AFCCG and we didn't want to wait that long. It's not inconceivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we really sure that a team that wants EB will not hire him because of the Chiefs success in the playoffs? Maybe, but no sure thing. On the other hand, there's a greater that the Chiefs could lose Sunday and EB still wouldn't get a HC offer. As far as talent evaluation goes, Veach has some hits but also some notable misses. Getting an extra third isn't that likely to have an impact on the playoff record two years from now .... unless it's Jamal Charles instead of Knile Davis.

Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 It's actually tough. Because you know if Poles got a GM job he'd likely bring Bienemy with him. Having two extra 3rds the next 3 years is a pretty big deal. You expect those guys to be eventual starters and we are short on draft capital. Having said that, I believe with everything clicking this team is still the best in the AFC, and SB appearances don't grow on trees. Verdict: This is all about winning Lombardi's.
