him and Larry Johnson in the backfield was a great thing.. Priest was a monster and showed it every week. He was a GREAT during those 3-4 years dominating teams.... hell of a player. Thank you Priest

Priest Holmes. Unfortunate timing in Baltimore. Injury riddled in Kansas City. Arguably 3 1/2 years of the best running the NFL has ever seen. He didn't just make you miss, he made you look foolish. He didn't just break tackles, He ran over men. Unfortunately he met an all too common NFL running back fate when Merriman "ended" his career. What a fun running back to watch.

@QBDogKiller Point taken and understood completely. I agree with you, and sadly that seems to be the way it is in most organizations/jobs/career fields. But as you said, eventually the attitude catches up with with the player, and they stop producing. Well said.

"LJ was a complete and total fucking dick. I don't know why he ever became a part of our organization."

NFL front offices don't give a shit about attitudes as long as a player can produce.

Look at DeSean Jackson, a fucking diva receiver with no perspective. Someone is going to throw millions at him when he hits free agency this off-season.

Eventually, the attitude will catch up to the player (like LJ) and they will stop producing.

@dudestr5552 jamal charles replaced his ass

@TnepExo LJ was a complete and total fucking dick. I don't know why he ever became a part of our organization. What Carl Peterson and the Chiefs front office were thinking, I don't know, but it seemed that everyone liked the Priest. And so far everyone in and around KC seems to like Jamaal Charles. Hopefully we can shake off the ugliness that was the Larry Johnson incident soon.

@dudestr5552 Lj was an asshole; this coming from someone that knew about how treated people that delivered pizzas to his house.

[dudestr5552]

Not to mention, everyone in and around KC seemed to all like the Priest, as opposed to LJ - LJ was perhaps the most hated player the Chiefs ever had.

I liked Priest Holmes because he didn't (at least, not initially) demand a high-paying contract, and he wasn't a screwball off the field. He just came out there on Sundays, did what he needed to do, and played extremely well. Why we ever signed Larry Johnson (the exact opposite of Priest Holmes), I'll never know, but I'm glad those days are over. Now if Charles can stay healthy, our run game will once again be unstoppable.

That's when we had Dick V as coach and our Offense was INSANE!
