How much money did they drop on him again?

Good thing they didn't re-sign Carr.

Good coaches raise the level of play from their players, they mask their defiencies(sp?) and gameplan to their advantages.

Romeo has not done that in any phase of the game for kFc this year. They are turning the ball over on O and ST's and their D is not getting TO's. They are being beaten like a rug in the passing game and teams are running on them. There is no clear plan of attack that one could point out and then they get down and are forced to throw out what little they did prep for.

Romeo should not venture outside of DC again in his career. He is like a sucky version of Wade Phillips

Routt's fate was sealed when he gave up late in the Chargers game. He had problems throughout the season, but I think that was what did him in. Inexcusable for any player to flat out give up on a string of plays because things aren't going well.

outside of Charles and Bowe the Chiefs have **** else on O.
their D has some pieces to it but Derrick Johnson is the only big time guy who isn't named Eric Berry.
KC needs talent upgrades in all areas, they need a competent GM who can evaluate talent and develop it.

do i think Romeo is a good HC? hell no, but do i think a "good" coach will be able to go in there with the same talent and win? hell no.
you're going to have to get a perfect hard nosed X's & O's teacher to squeeze blood out of that stone.
for KC to improve they need a great coach. without the perfect hire, you can put just about any average or good coach in there and they won't win much.

i look at KC the same way i see us.
they have **** for talent and they need an overhaul. if they get a exec who will take over and own the team from the picks to the players to the coaches then they'll improve.

Considering how Porter's health is going, I'd bring in Routt just as insurance.

fontaine · 11-06-2012, 05:06 AM

Am I missing something here? If you're going to cut a guy then why not trade him before the deadline last week?

baja · 11-06-2012, 08:08 AM

He's Romo's fall guy

I enjoy watching kFc and Oakland get beat down.

Plus I usually practice guitar while the non-Bronco games are on.

One more bad move by a bad team.

I still don't know why they didn't go after a guy like Koppen for C depth earlier in the season. Instead of finding a guy who can at the very least snap the ball consistently they bring in a bad G so they can keep a good G at C! What kind of sense does that make? They must be hoping that Lija will learn how to snap on the job. I would have found the best C sitting at home before I went and found Hockstein. If they had a guy of Hocksteins quality at C who could at least snap then they could move Lija back to a position he is good at.

Insurance? He would probably be great insurance to the other team getting a guaranteed first down due to pass interference.

Sometimes a player needs a change of scenery and a winning, confident environment like Denver may be it.

broncosteven · 11-06-2012, 03:37 PM

Has anyone even made a move for Routt? I would have thought Belly would have been all over him ASAP.

Guessing his contract numbers are scaring folks away.

Now if he clears waivers he can be had without the 6 million a year.

While decent CB not worth those numbers.

He will play again but for a lot less and if in NE probably play for a long time. Just like loads of other players have done on the rebound.

He has cleared yesterday. Yet no one has made a move we know about
