Chiefs ****The Clyde Edwards-Helaire Thread***** - Page 186

According to Spotrac, we saved $2.25 million by releasing Damien Williams.

That doesn’t seem worth it to me. We’d be better with him to at least split the load with Caught from bEHind.

I'm not too sure he plays nearly as much as he has been after that. LeSean had his role greatly reduced after the fumble that cost us the Colts game in 2019 then was basically banished to the shadow realm after his fumble that cost us the Packers game.

DW opted out due to COVID.

And then we released him. He could still be on the roster right now.

He had a pretty valid excuse if I remember correctly.

That's how much Andrew Wylie makes. We kept that fat faggot over Williams.

FFS we were FOS and now we are FUBAR.

I think you're correct. Just think how good the offense would be with a good RB.

I said we should bring in Todd Gurley to help the run game and people laughed. The run game we have now may be the worst in the Mahomes era. At least with Williams he could catch the ball and had the speed to take one to the house every now and then but these guys can barely muster 60 yards per game right now. We can't continue like this.

Are you talking organization or fans?

Gurley has the knees of an 80 year old arthritic broke dick.

We could've not signed Jarran Reed and been able to keep Damien Williams plus had enough left over to hire a few cheerleaders that don't look like they could eat an apple through a chain link fence.

That's my read, too. I think the team didn't trust Damien after he (reportedly) loafed it on his rehab in 2019 but his success in 2018 and 2019 made them believe that anyone could be plugged into his role and excel. The passcatching out of the backfield is what I miss the most.

I said this team needed another RB in this draft cause Clyde at his best is a 1b. I wouldn't have been opposed to them spending a 1st or second on one, but they didn't even bring in any UDFAs for a look. Makes no sense to me with the attention they paid to the OL TE and FB position.

Exactly why they thought he would work for them. He does not have the traits of other smaller backs but they assumed in this offense he would still be an above average fit.

Veach and Reid are human and will not make the perfect decision every time.
