All manner of craziness this time of year, I was listening to Middlekauf, an ex scout who shows up on Fox, and he was predicting the Rams come back to the pack and don’t win the west because of the Gurley factor. Of course he lives in the Bay Area and grew up a niner fan and seems to be a Jimmy G apologist.
It’s funny these media guys claim to be impartial but some have pretty clear biases.

You're always gonna get some guys who make claims like that. But those guys don't stand to lose anything with their analysis. And sometimes it really isn't an honest opinion. Its one they think will get people listening, reading or viewing.

If you wanna know what the truly unbiased experts think, look at the oddsmakers on betting sites. Those guys stand to gain or lose a lot with their projections. Most of them think the Rams are pretty darn good.

Yeah, I know, but I fall into the trap anyway, yelling at the radio.
Guys like Bayless and Stephen A are easy enough to ignore, the stuff they say is outlandish, but then there are other guys who claim not to care but still rehash the same lazy takes, like the system qb stuff or the moving on from Goff stuff and now the Gurley is done stuff.

If they are honest, then they'll sound like everybody else, and people won't watch or listen. So get a headcase with a controversial view who can talk interestingly about it.

Ratings gold, man.

While I completely disapprove of literally everything in your post, this is just sad. That commercial souls never be quoted, shown again, or remembered. That crap was lame.

Frank Clark ready, Kelce ready, Mahomes ready.... for y'aaaall! (Better?)

I think the Chiefs better be worried about their own division before being worried about any other ya’lllls Chargers will sweep em if they don’t bring their A+ game.

They've said that the last three years. Truth is LAC still dont have an OL, Broncos still dont have a QB, and the Raiders still have several holes.

I'm actually wondering if KCs receiving core might be The Fastest Show on Grass. I mean Watkins is the third fastest receiver and he roasted S Gilmore in the playoffs. Hill, Hardman, Watkins, Kelce. DANG! Most explosive offense all time? Then we got the 23 year old MVP QB with a howitzer dangling from his right shoulder. Then a very underrated bell cow in Damien William. And believe me, our division knows this. KC is the envy of the AFCW.

I like Hill Mahomes and Kelce. All fantasy studs. But until you get Hill back (I would be surprised if less than 4 game suspension) and Williams proves to be a long term solution the Chiefs will not be firing on all cylinders. They had some studs and D last year and still stunk up the league so I am not buying a miraculous turnaround on D just yet.

We have the deepest WR core in the league. We can go 4-0 without Hill even if Mahomes threw a no look pass every time. D will be much better. Our safeties were a mess for much of last year for starters. Berry nearly missed everything and wasn't right when he did come back. Sorensen came back late after he broke his leg in camp. Honey Badger dont care. Huge difference maker. Sorenson is healthy. Thornhill is a steal. Stud pass rush, of course. Plus guys will be playing much faster from the LB'er spots with a more player friendly scheme (Hitchens). I like fast LB'ers in Darron Lee and Dorian O'Daniel too. Williams gonna have stud numbers. I really like Darwin Thompson, though. Williams may be getting less reps as the season goes on.

I will say this, though. I hope Breshaud Breeland is a gamer. I like Fuller and Ward. We picked up a CB from Clemsen I really like. His tape is awesome but he hardly played. I don't know what that's about. But if Breeland plays like Ammerson last year, that could be very bad. Nobody can do worste than Ammerson last year, though.

Dude... this kid. He had 61 broken tackles last year. K Hunt had 58 the year he came out of Toledo.

I KNOW this is just a bait post but I will bite. First - I loved watching the Chiefs LAST year as everything on offense turned to gold. THIS year the Chiefs have 2 vet WRs of note. One will likely be suspended for 4+ games this year. The other is a talented but underachieving WR who relies on his physical skills vs his skilled receiving play. They have one rookie WR who is a burner but will be situational at best. Then they have..... ummm....then they have....uhhh hmmm they have ABSOLUTELY NOBODY else OF NOTE. They better hope a couple no names overachieve or that Kelce can carry the passing game until Hill comes back or it could get ugly!!

I've never heard the term "bait post" in my life. So for that I'm got hit you with some TRUTH you know you want.

It's really obvious you are selling some good players short. DeMarcus Robinson is a good player. He shows up in big moments. He had some sweet plays last year. See his TD's against SEA, SF, and Mahomes #50 against OAK.

Byron Pringle- Straight up stud muffin. This guy got hurt before the season and missed the whole year. Stud. Muffin.

Gehrig Dieter- Aka Mahomes homeboy. This guy was an undrafted guy that worked the scout team with the future MVP. I actually only thought he made the because he and Mahomes are so tight. But by all accounts he's being groomed into a really solid play.

And for the record, Hills suspension wont be more than four games. It could be for only 2 for what he said on tape. Hill was framed.

So now that I've learned you real good, you can be happy knowing you have the TRUTH.

Heh. He'll be 26 in November, and has yet to play a game in the NFL. His college scouting reports emphasized that he had a case of the dropsies. He was a UDFA. He does have a criminal record, so he fits in with the Chiefs, I'll give you that. Missing the whole year is not a good sign, either. Maybe he does something, it's insane to emphasize that he is a stud muffin given his less than stellar college career, the lack of ANY real pro experience, and the fact that he was a UDFA, meaning no team felt he was worth a pick. If you are not just hoping, but counting on him performing, that says it all. Having a couple good preseason games - mostly against other team's roster hopefuls - is not cause to believe him a future star.

A bait post is a posting that is so outrageous it’s only purpose is to bait readers into reacting. The bait poster knows better but prefers the controversy of the bait post. So you are either an extreme Chiefs homer or you are a bait poster. Your response does not include ANY information to support your claim that the Chiefs have the deepest WR Corp in the NFL so it has little to no merit.
