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.

let go of the past

He was relevant what.. 3 years ago?

 

In terms of the average NFL career, that is ages ago that he was good. His career has been over so some time now.

Almost certain to end in disappointment to the Chiefs.....but, what, me care ?   I wish CW a recovery from his addictions.  (drugs and excessive food)

 

Admittedly, Special K slipped up with the weight thing... But the I truly believe the Bills management (at the time) handled it the wrong way...  Karlos was

 

coming off a phenomenal year, and he may have begun resting on his Laurels prematurely.   IMO, that kind of production earned him the benefit of the doubt...

 

Rex, Rob, and Whaley got a whole bunch wrong that season, and casting out Karlos was one more thing to add to that pile.  -Come on, Is he worse than Randy

 

Gregory?    If he can stay clean, and return to fighting form, a team would be dumb not to give him a shot....  -He'd be a star in KC's passing attack, perhaps

 

even a 1,000 yard rusher.

Bills FO should bring him in for a look/workout and then take him out to eat.

Three years is an eternity for an NFL player. Now insert RB and it is even more so.

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. 

Exactly right.  This story is even from a Chiefs writer.  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!

You'll have to ask 34 hotdogfan, it's his thread.

 

Judge said I'm not allowed within 500 feet of Karlos, anymore.... That's how fanhood gets repaid sometimes.
