So did Shea get the Hook or did the Chiefs Slice him off their roster?  Must be Rough on him, but I wonder if he thought it was a Trap signing as an UDFA?

Hope Shea is not hiding in a Bunker, but I guess this was the only Fairway for the Chiefs to do it, hey, maybe he can sign with Philly and be an Eagle and get some Green and get a Caddy!

Once you've committed* a half-billion dollars to a single player, I guess it's time to start shaking the couches for all the spare change you can scrounge.

*I know, I know. It's an NFL contract, so the Chiefs haven't really committed that much money to Mahomes.

Wow, that’s a shame. I really thought he might push Mahomes for the starting job by mid season at the latest.

I remember Collins starting a game for the Bears against the Panthers in 2010, the final year of his career, and completing 6-of-16 passes for 32 yards and 4 interceptions, yet the Bears somehow won 23-6.

Sums up life as a Bears fan pretty well.

Todd Collins played in 3 games in 2010:

Subbed in for Cutler when Jay got hurt.  4-11, 36 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT.  8.1 QB Rating.

The game you just mentioned.  6-16, 32 yards, 0 TD, 4 INT.  6.2 QB Rating.

The NFC Title Game against Green Bay (replacing Jay).  0-4, 0 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT.  

That latter game got him a 39.6 QB Rating -- MUCH better than his first 2 games!

I'm not trying to make fun of the guy.  Even a back-up NFL QB is among the top athletes among the total population.  He had a long NFL career, and had his bright spots.  But he was definitely done by 2010.

Matt Moore didn't play poorly in that Sunday night game last year against the Packers.  Cris Collinsworth said it during the broadcast and I agreed, Matt Moore was not the reason they lost that game.  Defense let the Chiefs down for sure.

That being said, the NFL is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league and teams are always looking for upgrades.  It will be interesting to see who wins the backup QB job in KC.  The loser likely gets cut unless rosters get expanded because of the pandemic.

If I may offer some personal insight... it's because every year some UM fans constantly forecast "we'll beat you this year because of X,Y, and Z"... and say it with a straight face like it's an absolute certainty. First it was Harbaugh, then Shea, this last year was Speed in Space, etc. 

I'm certainly not painting all UM fans with the same brush, but many OSU (and I suspect MSU) fans tire of the constant talk, and excuses. If you want to talk about why you think the team will progress this year, by all means, lets discuss... I love talking college football! But the arrogant segment really wears on people, myself included.

TL/DR... OSU and MSU fan bases are going to get a kick out of the 5 star savior QB who was going to win the B1G and take UM to the playoffs.... getting cut before the preseason.
