Chiefs let Smith walk because of how good Mahomes looked. Vikings let Keesum go because of how he looked...
Minnesota was #2 in points allowed, Donks were #24. The 2015 defense is dead and the concept of only needing an average QB died with it.
Veach has seen everything Mahomes has done in practice...and there is no way in hell they let Smith walk if he isn't playing fantastic. His GM career is riding on it. They would have let him sit another year. Veach literally said " He's the best player I've EVER seen". This guy is an ex-scout that has watched thousands of hours of film.
Think on that...
Well said. The Reality Slap is going to be one for the ages in Dungver, yes.

STD/LAC are on a slow but very steady path to doom in which the final leg of the Spano's chair gets shot by John Herod when Phyllis hangs it up, and final, sweet death occurs.
I'm talking "back to the Junior Seau 90's"-Chargers where getting a win against Cleveland was a "thing".
As to the Faid, I was somewhat concerned when Gruden came back because I've always liked his style and respected him. But after watching him operate since taking over, there's no fucking way all of the Ref's in the universe are going to help that hobbled nag of a team along. And if Rumors are true about McKenzie being pushed out, then they will be living in the basement over at Dung Valley with their new room mates for a VERY long time. [Reply]

Chargers are a tough team to figure out... haven't won more than 9 games since the 2009 season, but they've finished 2nd in 5 of those 8 seasons. Weird.
Raiders have only won more than 8 games once since 2003, with 12 in 2016 and fell back to 6 last season. They've finished 3rd or 4th in 14 of 15 seasons.
Two of the tougher teams to project really - lots of talent, but damn. Chiefs are definitely positioned well within the division, so they better take full advantage of it while they can. [Reply]
I promise I didn't write this article. Maybe the writer follows my posts here and at the Mange? Either way it is what I have been saying all off season.
At the least you are #1 at something other than Sooie calls this offseason:
Chiefs, Jaguars among most vulnerable division winners
1) Kansas City Chiefs (AFC West)
When Alex Smith (33 interceptions over the past five seasons) was at quarterback, the Chiefs knew he wouldn't turn the ball over. They can't assume the same with second-year pro Patrick Mahomes taking the reins in 2018. Mahomes' future is bright, but I don't think he'll be off-the-charts great immediately -- he's only started one game in the NFL, and you have to expect hiccups when working in a younger, less experienced player like that. And, of course, former offensive coordinator Matt Nagy -- now coaching the Bears -- will be missed. Kansas City did add some offensive firepower by signing receiver Sammy Watkins, but the real issue here is the defense, which gave up points and yards by the bushel last season. Marcus Peters, Derrick Johnson and Tamba Hali are gone, while Justin Houston hasn't reached double digits in sacks since 2014. Signing linebacker Anthony Hitchens was a smart move, and cornerback Kendall Fuller -- who came over in the trade that sent Smith to Washington -- is a good player, but I don't see anyone on the roster who can rush the passer like Houston in his heyday. The key is safety Eric Berry. Will he be fully recovered from the Achilles tear that wiped out his 2017 season?
The competition: The Chargers, who finished 9-7 last season, are much improved, especially on defense -- and with veteran kicker Caleb Sturgis on board, I don't think they'll have the kicking problems that effectively kept them from making the playoffs last year. Jon Gruden's Raiders will be better. Denver has a QB in place (Case Keenum) who will help win some games, while the Broncos' defense will get a huge boost from the addition of rookie Bradley Chubb. This collection of teams will make it very difficult for Kansas City to defend its division title. [Reply]
