The hip injury in his rookie season really seemed to derail him. Seems like it robbed him of some of his athleticism. [Reply]

I definitely had hoped we'd use him a lot in the passing game, and for whatever reason that never materialized. He did manage 4.2 yards per carry over his career. He wasn't bad. It's actually eye-opening to me watching highlights of the last 2 seasons how many big plays he is in. Early part of 2022 there were a lot. A legit contributing member to 2 championship teams.

You had some good moments here, including 2 SB rings. (Maybe 3. Not sure how that’ll work when the Chiefs win this next SB.) Thank you & best of luck in life, sir. [Reply]

ya you have to feel for him, he was going through some shit after having to kill another man in self defense. [Reply]

Same. I thought he had the tools Andy would take advantage of with great success. [Reply]
It’s that time of year. When the Chiefs get serious and basically get rid of all the dead weight. Frustrating as hell. Did should have never been given a second contract. [Reply]

True, although I’d still trust MEHHH over Steele in the playoffs with pass blocking and ball security. [Reply]
He loved being a Chief and was a great teammate. Won Bowls here and was helpful at times to the overall product. He will have a career in coaching or with the player’s union or something. Wish him well and since I’m not a weird unhappy prick, I have no animosity towards him. [Reply]
I remember all of the gushing predictions when he was drafted. It's unfortunate that he didn't live up to those. He was serviceable for a few years, but it seemed to me that he lacked the top speed to ever be an elite back. Good luck to him going forward unless he plays for a strong AFC team. He seems like a genuinely good guy.
I think we're going to see a renaissance of running backs. Barkley and to a lesser extent Henry are showing that elite running backs have value. In the future, I think we could see the running back position fork in the draft like the quarterback position. Elite guys will go high, and non-elite guys will go in the mid-rounds. [Reply]
