I never thought Cottam was gonna amount to anything.
He didnt do anything at TN…..how could he do anything in the NFL.

I Wasn't Particularly Thrilled With Cottam Either
Thought he was more of a “tools” guy who’d never really measured up in real production in college to what people seemed to think he’d become in the NFL. I think many people tended to see him as a future Tony Gonzalez because that’s what Carl Peterson kept hinting he’d become, whereas by that point I figured Carl Peterson just didn’t know what the hell he was talking about and should have drafted Jeremy Zuttah.

Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
6. The Chiefs will go 7-9 in 2009, good for 2nd in the AFC West. Revision: We go 5-11 and finish behind Oakland.
7. Ryan Succop will not perform better in 2009 than Connor Barth did in 2008.
8. The Chiefs will have a bottom 10 defense this year.
9. RB will be a problem area this season on offense.
Or Anthony Collins
Who is now a pretty solid starter at RT for the Bengals and who would have been a definite upgrade for us at that position.

Your predictions...
look pretty damn good with the exception of Succcop. That kid is here to stay after nailing that 50 yarder and consistently kicking off deep.

Well, I Deleted A Couple Of Them
The one about Larry Johnson getting cut before the season pretty much blew up in my face…not that he’s done anything to make me think he shouldn’t have been cut. :)

Umm Sean Ryan had a nice little TD catch for us last week
I dunno if I would call him a stiff.
D-Bowe, Mark Bradley, Bobby Engram and Turtle. Four Chiefs WRers. 4 Pro Bowlers.
as much as I want to hate Ryan
I think he’s coming around.
He’s made some big catches against StL and Baltimore.
not sure that his blocking has come around yet… but he’s certainly the #1 TE on this team today.
* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
great question
He certainly should have the physical tools.
But, you’re right… if he even played against Baltimore, I didn’t see him once.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s on his way out, which is too bad… he’s all potential. But that’s not enough for this team.
If the Chiefs sign Pope or another TE… Cottam is gone, IMO

Agreed
Potential is not enough to stay on this team. I had high hopes for Cottam, but he may be out!
I want K.C. Wolfs' job!
I'm surprised as well..Really thought Cottam would amount to become
a good nfl tight end..Not great but good.
IMO the jury is still out on Sean..I was highly skeptical of him but his td catch last week impressed me..

Me too
but he needs to have better control of that ball. He got lucky as hell that it bounced right back to him after he fumbled…
Put this in your pipe and smoke it:
1. Chiefs will be at least 8-8 and vie for division champs
2. DJ will break out and finally have his year
3. LJ returns to form
4. DBowe drops will reduce

I think the verdict is still up in the air on him
I still have hope that Cottam will produce. Its kind of like Dorsey I know he was a high first round pick but just give him a little more time I would say he will end up starting before the year is over….
He is hiding under a desk somewhere at Arrowhead
Hoping they don’t find him when they come looking for his playbook.
Is the desk levitating 3 foot of the floor?

Then

I resent that Brad

You know UC
This optimism is getting irritating and the pessimism is getting nauseaus.
I am beginning to use Google for spell check and am losing the enjoyment of the game.
Is this too much realisticity or uber-fan overload. I am thinking of starting a Chiefs Fan Re-hab site in AZ. Do you know of maybe a Spahn Ranch type setting nearby that My ..ah.. er Followers might commune to work out our
Issues

Ryan is better than cottam
Cottam had size which got some people excited, but just like most herm draftees, they had a major flaw. Here’s herms quote about bernard pollard.
“He hits hard, but he’s not a guy you want to get out in space with a receiver”…….Why would you draft a safety that can’t run in open space with a receiver??? Exactly.
