Brandon Flowers Lands On The All-Joe Team

PrintUSA Today released their All-Joe team, named after former Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Joe Phillips, which recognizes the guys who don't get a lot of recognition.
Landing on the list for the Chiefs is CB Brandon Flowers. USA Today writes: "With 70 pass break-ups and 13 picks in four seasons, he's also going places ... like Honolulu in the near future."
In 2008, Dwayne Bowe made the list as did Matt Cassel (when he was in New England). Also making the list that year was then-rookie Brandon Carr. Seems USA Today knows good football players when they see them.
In 2009, Tamba Hali made the list after his transition from 4-3 defensive end to 3-4 outside linebacker. Also on the list that year was Bernard Pollard, who was released by the Chiefs prior to that season.
In 2010, Ryan Lilja made the list as did former Chief Wade Smith (remember him?). Derrick Johnson also made the list that year.

It does seem as if they somewhat know their stuff
At least as far as the Chiefs go
1st Round - OT Jonathan Martin - Stanford, 2nd - NT Dontari Poe - Memphis
3rd - WR Marvin McNutt - Iowa, 4th - ILB Tank Carder - TCU
5th - RB Vick Ballard - Miss State, 6th - QB Austin Davis - Southern Miss
7a - TE Kevin Koger - Michigan, 7b - CB Janzen Jackson - McNeese State
Sign one of the top FA guards (Carl Nicks, Ben Grubbs, Evan Mathis) Sign a FA QB. Either Kyle Orton, Jason Campbell, Josh Johnson, or Dennis Dixon.

Fact:
Brandon Flowers, desite constant AP speculation to the contrary, is a better CB than Brandon Carr.
That ought to get things started :)
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
Wrong.
Brandon Carr, per the article itself, made the team as a rookie. Using this algorithm, he has been as good as Flowers is now, for many years. So, under said formula, Carr has been the best corner on the team since day one, Flowers should be cut with Sabby being brought back and thrown into his spot.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
I'm not judging this based off the making of this team
Did I suggest I was?

Messing around
Took what you started, and finished it with Sabby playing CB opposite Carr.

Nice
I wasn’t sure. I thought it might look that way, given how I said it :)

Nope, I knew what you meant

WHAT???
Flowers and Carr both drafted the same year, and both landed starting positions at the same time. If I’m remembering right, the following year, the entire secondary was 1st and 2nd year players: Flowers, Carr, Paige, and Pollard. As for who was quickest out of the gate – it was Flowers. After his second year, Carr was the subject of many comments on this site about how bad he was. His 3rd year was his break-out year. Now he’s the talk of the town.

Took awhile for DJ to finally blossom
hopefully with a consistent FS and SS behind him, it will cut down on the number of TD’s he gave up this year
what'd he say this time?

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
just something about hard work and perseverance paying off
Could be that he signed, could be just a random motivational charge to his followers.
Probably will find out later today.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
Maybe he’s just saying that he’s got to have a little more patience before he gets his fat contract.
"Hater" is a term used by weak-minded people in the face of legitimate criticism.
Pretty much...in the grand scheme of things, it could mean almost anything.
I really hope we get a front page story soon about him getting paid though.

Another snub for Branden Albert

Hammerfisting my own balls since 2006
Rg3 will be given what Bradford was given
St louis will work on their lines this draft, amost seems as if these teams lose to be first in the draft 2 to 3 years and with FA, and the right coach, they become young and are good until the older players start slowing down then they start losing again and draft 1 round and 2nd round again its a mad cycle
Look what detroit and the 49ners did all though years of losing and all the sudden one two years and they complete for the super bowl funny aint it !!
