Chiefs Fans: Would You? Could You?

Hey Chiefs fans, it’s time again to play… Would You? Could You?

Like any other Chiefs fan at ArrowheadOne, I dream dreams for the Chiefs of multiple Super Bowl trips in a row… replaying one-handed grabs over and over again in my head… watching future Hall of Fame performers live out their careers in red and gold right in front of me…  among other dreams, which I can’t get into here (after all it’s a family friendly web site).

Yes, I have spent a lot of time in the land of “what if?” Like, I used to think about… what if the Chiefs hadn’t drafted Steve Fuller… they could have had Joe Montana. Instead of TE Gary Butler… they could have had QB Dan Fouts. And, instead of RB Greg Hill… they could have had Larry Allen. I know, I know… that was such a dark period in my dream life.

Now, my “what-iffing” is all about the Chiefs’ future. So, let’s play…

Would You… Could You… sign WR Anquan Boldin to tutor this young wide receiving corp?

Anquan Boldin is the Marshawn Lynch of wideouts but he’s 36 years old now and although he’d have some value as a leader for the younger WRs on the Chiefs roster, I’m not sure how much he has left in the tank. However, Boldin has 82 career TDs over his 14 year career and would still just as soon run over you as run around you and the Chiefs could use a little bit of that kind of moxie amongst their novice collection of pass catchers. If the Chiefs did sign him it would strictly be with the idea that he’s a one-and-done hired gun.

Would You… Could You… give Chris Jones the Dontari Poe Hungry Pig treatment and get him in on some goal line scoring situations?

Chris Jones is probably more athletic than Poe was and he could not only run the ball up the gut and throw a TD to someone like Demetrius Harris (although I wonder if Harris will be on the team this season)… but I’m betting that Jones could run the option. The idea of putting Jones and Tyreek Hill in the same backfield conjures up all sorts of defensive Chinese Fire Drills. So much so that… I wouldn’t care if Jones was sent in just to see if they could get the defense to jump off-sides… it would just be too much fun watching the defense go stick-in-wasps-nest crazy.

Would You… Could You… predict that Andy Reid, with 184 careers victories, will surpass Chuck Knox, who has 193 career wins in 2017? If so, you’d have to give the Chiefs at least 10 wins this year to do so.

I’m on board with at least ten wins. The ArrowheadOne writers will do their predictions the week before the season begins, so I have time to solidify exactly how many wins that will be but, I’m comfortable with making Kansas City a team that is at least two wins above .500. Last year’s 12-4 record resulted in a .750 winning percentage so at least ten wins seems doable. Many will point out that the schedule is one of the most difficult in the league but since all the team in the AFC West have similarly hard records, I’ll stand by the ten-win season… at a minimum. Will you Stand By Me?

Would You… Could You… make one big change to the Chiefs offseason? And… if so, what would that change be?

The changes the Chiefs made this offseason were bigger than I would have guessed so if you could take one back… which one would it be?

1.  Keep Dontari Poe.
2.  Keep Jamaal Charles.
3.  Keep Jeremy Maclin.
4.  Keep John Dorsey.
5.  Other…

Would You… Could You… get on board with the new instant replay rule and the final call coming from N.Y.?

The league has changed the way instant replay will be handled and it’s said that up to one and a half minutes per game could be saved. Now, when I think about all the instant replays, which includes every TD, then that’s about 15 seconds per replay? It’s obvious that the games have gotten longer and longer and instant replay is one of the reasons. My idea for years now, has been to have a crew of people from one centralized location, who look at all the angles and then they make the call (or a vote is taken). That’s essentially what the league is going to do now.

“The final say on replay reviews and challenges now belongs to senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino and his supervisory crew, who will work from the league’s New York command center. Referees will participate in the conversation via wireless headsets and a video tablet rather than the previous sideline “hood.”

The reason I came up the with idea years ago was… that’s exactly what’s happening in all the living rooms across the country: we’re given the three or four different views of a play within 30 second after the play, and we can see what the right call is immediately. So, why can’t the refs do the same. Now, apparently, they can. The question is… are you good with that kind of decentralized control of a call… and ultimately a game?
