Chiefs Release Breaston

[Gee!]

Per Shefter.

 

[Zeno]

Could San Diego be his destination or maybe Pittsburgh?

 

[MadCardDisease]

I'm thinking Pittsburg when they lose Mike Wallace.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, Breaston was way overpaid by the Chiefs.

The Chiefs also released Kevin Boss (TE). Apparently he suffered a concussion in the 2nd game of the year and then was placed on IR as doctors felt he could not be cleared to play for the rest of the year. Sounds like Boss's career is done.

Breaston wasn't ever much of a scoring threat as he only has 9 TDs over 6 seasons. Me thinks Warner made him more than he was along with having Fitz and Boldin on the field at the same time.

I was gonna say Alvin Harper 2.0 but that would be giving Breaston a little too much credit.

Damn, you boys are killing my main man, Stevie.

I agree that his stats were inflated playing with Warner, but you can't fault him for that. I also remember him playing super tough, especially for a player of his size. Breaking tackles, out jumping people, fighting for extra yards.. The man played hard all the time. Anyone remember the game saving tackle and fumble he caused when he chased down an INT at the 2 yard line or so? I want to say it was against the Rams...

Its 3rd and 5.

You have Steve Breaston, Andre Roberts, Early Doucet, and Rob Housler on the field.

You would you throw it to, to move the chains ?

The Cardinals O-line doesn't allow a QB enough time to throw a 5 yard pass so it doesn't matter.

Dunno. New coach, different offensive system, new (or coached-up) QB.

New day.

Seriously!!!!

Thanks for the bad memory....

Certainly for me #1: Breaston, 2: Roberts, #3 Doucet.

I believe stats would argue for Doucet, however.

:BIM: Pittsburgh, with an 'h'.

This is why the middle of the draft is so important. The Cardinals were not wrong to let players like Steve Breaston, Alan Branch, Antonio Smith and Calvin Pace go, but they did fail in drafting their replacements and using those saved resources to spend on impact players. One reason I didn't like the Michael Floyd pick is because the draft is flush every year with WR talent. You should be using rounds 3 - 6 of drafts to stock up your #3, 4 and 5 WRs to develop, replace, and then let go unless you strike gold. You aren't going to hit every time, but WR is such a deep talent pool because of the college game that smart teams should not have any problem filling their WR depth needs.

Just kind of a quibble, but I think that the Cards did a fine job drafting and developing replacements for Breaston (Andre Roberts), Branch (David Carter), and Antonio Smith (Calais Campbell), not to mention Karlos Dansby (Daryl Washington). Where they've failed is in finding the key positions that any NFL team needs to be successful: Quarterback, Pass Rusher, Left tackle.

The Cards have even been okay at drafting and holding on to cornerbacks, which would be the 4th item on my list. They even got a fine running back (not in the sense of "fine dining" as much as when your wife says that your Valentine's Day gift was "fine") in Tim Hightower, but then proceeded to sit on their balls by drafting Ryan Williams and deciding that he was going to be an upgrade immediately.

I guess that excludes the NYJ.

If you are a cardinals qb you cannot throw it.

Is this a trick question? Steve Breaston of course!

What's the next question?
Who do want playing quarterback on third and 9?
Kurt Warner or Max Hall or Derek Anderson or Kevin Kolb?
The Jeopardy question is "Who is Kurt Warner?"

That is really the Jeopardy answer in the form of a question.
