Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 On 4/14/2019 at 1:27 PM, Doc said: He had his shot. He blew it. It's over for him. Expand I think that's pretty much it. It reminds me of an anecdote told by a (probably legit) college admissions counselor. He wrote about refusing to take as a client, a family who had their sights set solely on the most prestigious Ivy League schools for her son. He was a legit candidate - straight As in the hardest classes, star athlete in his sport, high test scores. Except, as a freshman in HS, he had committed (well-documented and admitted) a legitimate hate-crime. The counselor had to point out: "Yes, he has all these great qualifications. But he is competing against candidates who have qualifications as good - and who have never done what he did." Karlos has legit claims to being an NFL-quality player. He came into the NFL with questionmarks about his weedy habits and work ethic, his actions after being signed confirmed those questionmarks, and he's competing against kids with legit potential to be NFL-quality players who do NOT have his history.

JimKellyTryouts Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Chiefs signed Carlos Hyde and extended Damien Williams who filled in perfectly after Hunt got suspended. They likely don't need any other FA rb. 2

I’m a huge KC fan but my god, we have some of the dumbest people covering the team and frankly, the dumb writers are at least smart enough to understand the dumb audience they are trying to reach. I’ve never seen a fan base as bad as KCs fan base, about wanting to sign ANYONE, ANYONE, whose name they heard somewhere before. Doesn’t matter who is on the roster already, and doesn’t matter thatva salary cap exists.....I promise, you go to any of the Chiefs fan pages on Facebook right now and you will find this exact quote “Carlos Williams is a BEAST! We should sign him!

IgotBILLStopay Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Why Chiefs? Why not us? If he is any good keep him. If not, then release him. We need youth in the backfield in a big way. Him not playing the past 3 years may be a blessing since he will have less wear and tear. Edited April 14, 2019 by IgotBILLStopay
