I mean you may as well go all in on Payton right?
What is the Chiefs Planet beef with Cheffers again? That Super Bowl was a 31-9 mauling and never in doubt so I canât imagine itâs from that game. Does he have a history of reffing them out of games or something?
Denver should push all in and hope somehow Payton can revive Russ. They are in tough spot regardless, so should be taking the high risk gamble - even if overpaying for the chance that Payton is has the magical touch.
Are we even sure Payton is good? Considering the talent that Drew Brees was and the weak NFC south shouldnât he have had more success?
Why not go all in on Bienamy or Leftwich who donât cost any compensation?

Of course not. Itâs very possible heâs overrated and/or the game has caught up to whatever edge he had, but when youâre in as bad of shape at the Broncos, what choice do you have.
Leftwich is fine, but doesnât seem game changer. I could see Bienamy as he could be amazing (or could just look good because of Maholmes and Reed).
You guys know Peyton is white right?

Cheffers looks like Chiefs and it is deeply confusing for them.

Yes, thatâs kind of my point. People look at a white coach like Payton and find every reason to give them credit for team success when thereâs a lot of reason to be skeptical, then people look at black coaches and find every reason why their success is maybe due to other factors.

Not buying that Mahomes helps the Bears much. I just rewatched SB LV and dude was running for his life, holding the ball forever, forcing throws that werenât there because there was no pass protection and nobody was open. In other words, every Bears game in recent memory. If you put a McClaren engine in a 1972 station wagon, that doesnât mean you have a Formula 1 car.
The first half was still terrible - phantom fouls all over the place. Also Cheffers called the James Harrison flop that cost the Chiefs a playoff game vs. the Steelers playoff. And this year he called the Chris Jones roughing the passer when he literally stripped the ball mid-sack and still braced his fall with the other arm.
Chiefs opponents in Cheffers games are called for penalties at rates 5% higher than all others and have 10% more penalty yards. That seems to be consistent with how Cheffers officiates most games. In a median season he calls about 10% more penalties and 10% more penalty yards than the other crews
However, the Chiefs are penalized at a rate 25% higher with Cheffers and are called for 28% more penalty yards.
With what? They wonât have had a draft pick in the first two rounds in three consecutive years! Their cap is completely fucked by Russâs contract. That team is way more than a head coach away from contending for anything.
The defense is good though. On the off chance Payton is lightning in a bottle itâs worth it. Whatâs the alternative, tank for picks that arenât yours?
Trade Russ for picks :)
But they gave up a first and a second round draft pick for him??!!!
Couldnât they just as likely get lightning in a bottle from a first time head coach and also use those picks for better players?

Yeah, this. If it were just money for Payton, then whatever, but they are giving valuable capital that they have hardly had any of.
Demeco Ryans to Texans as head coach. First ever team with three consecutive black coaches. Of course Culley and Lovie were lame ducks fired after one year so meh.
Wait, the Broncos just traded for a head coach?

The Broncos traded more away for a coach than the 49ers traded for Christian McCaffrey.
