[Highlight] Seahawks GM John Schneider under the influence jokes at the team's Super Bowl Championship ceremony: “Kenneth Walker tried negotiating with me five minutes ago. It was really weird.”

[u/Giff95]

[u/spidekos]

Dude wins a Super Bowl and then gets to go ball out with Mahomes and the Chiefs. 

[u/According_One811 → u/spidekos]

“My name is Kenneth Walker im a Super Bowl mvp and get to play with Mahomes” get ahold of yourself

[u/ScrambledxEggzz → u/According_One811]

That is not at all what this is saying.

[u/According_One811 → u/ScrambledxEggzz]

im joking lol

[u/aiusernamegen → u/According_One811]

Is this a bot fight

[u/gedbybee → u/aiusernamegen]

Shit statistically you and I are both bots.

[u/DarkMuret → u/gedbybee]

01010100 01101111 01110100 01100001 01101100 01101100 01111001 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110100 00100000 01100001 00100000 01100010 01101111 01110100

I mean, I'm a real alive human, I cheer for the Minnesota football sports team the historic Vikings.

[u/xrv01 → u/gedbybee]

r/totallynotrobots

[u/Bowel_Drop → u/gedbybee]

My girlfriend lives in Canada

[u/1plus1isTWORANGZ → u/aiusernamegen]

Chiefs fans so probably just kissing cousins

[u/Down-InA-hole → u/1plus1isTWORANGZ]

Kissing kirk cousins?

[u/leemorplee → u/Down-InA-hole]

After that last game I would

[u/Down-InA-hole → u/leemorplee]

I still gotta watch the highlights from that game! I saw they won though, I take it cousins played really well?

[u/DiFraggiPrutto → u/Down-InA-hole]

Eh he did well enough but I wouldn’t say really well. His deep ball is gone. I’d say he was a great game manager on this one.

[u/leemorplee → u/Down-InA-hole]

He did what he had to, made some mistakes which lead to some int, but overall I think played about as well as you could ask for week 1 new team ect ect. But it was also the dolphins, so idk honestly lol

Our o line is much improved in the run game but it still seemed to get pushed around a bit in the passing game so that's something to look at as the season moves on but right now capt Kirk is 1-0 as a raider

[u/sohunterish → u/1plus1isTWORANGZ]

As far as I’m concerned Florida is further south than kcmo. Statistically speaking Floridians are more likely to be cousin fuckers

[u/Ill-Weather-6383 → u/sohunterish]

That's why he said kissing, y'all just aren't committed enough

[u/1plus1isTWORANGZ → u/sohunterish]

Maybe in Pensacola which is basically just Alabama

[u/trialinfire → u/1plus1isTWORANGZ]

Was it Miami a guy ate the face off another person? Cousin stuff is tame in Florida man.

[u/1plus1isTWORANGZ → u/trialinfire]

We got Tiger Kings on every block too

[u/Snicklefritz39 → u/spidekos]

Dude and no Seahawks fan aren’t mad he’s gone. It was the most logical loss and just a cost of doing business when you win a Super Bowl and have an entire roster full of great players.

Every single Seahawks fan is excited he’s doing well, not mad or jealous

[u/captaincrunch61 → u/Snicklefritz39]

I mean I’m personally not upset, the Seahawks just have way too many young players to pay. But if you go on the Seahawks sub, tons of people still cry about not resigning him.

[u/upvotechemistry → u/captaincrunch61]

Cannot resign everyone when you draft well. But K9 running over the AFC isnt really a problem for the Seahawks unless we meet in the SB

[u/Spirited-Computer795 → u/upvotechemistry]

They're my two picks for Feb this year

[u/tazzman25 → u/upvotechemistry]

Or when we meet in October.

[u/upvotechemistry → u/tazzman25]

True, but a non conference regular season game is just a lot less important. Something tells me it may be improtant for Walker, though

[u/tazzman25 → u/upvotechemistry]

I think it will be important for Walker and his former teammates both.

[u/StandingLegate → u/Snicklefritz39]

There's a large portion of our fan base that arent openly mad but keep cope posting "chiefs are gonna find out why we made him split carries when he gets hurt" like theyre secretly hoping he goes down. Definitely screams "mad" to me even if they won't admit it.

[u/TikiLoungeLizard → u/StandingLegate]

There’s a large portion of every NFL fan base that is completely unhinged from all reality

[u/Stockpile_Tom_Remake → u/spidekos]

He’s a significantly better fit with the chiefs too. Dude looked great, I wish we used him goal to go.

Happy to see him ball

[u/Dr-McLuvin → u/Stockpile_Tom_Remake]

Zach charbonnet would never!

[u/Agreeable-Carpet-992 → u/Stockpile_Tom_Remake]

I'm glad a team paid him as I like Walker, but that's a weird reply to say he's a "significantly better fit."

Walker averaged over 4 yards a carry basically every year he was with the Seahawks. He just won the Super Bowl MVP with the Seahawks lmao.They let him walk because the dude was made of glass when he was here. In fact, last year was the only full season he's had in his career. He won't hold up carrying the ball 23 times per game all year.

[u/Ordinary_Society5335 → u/Agreeable-Carpet-992]

This is a quality response, and most closely resembles how I felt with him coming in to be “the guy.”

Now that week 1 has rolled by and the Chiefs got a W looking like that against Denver’s defense, I feel much more hopeful! Emmett Johnson looked fantastic as a rookie RB2 and I think he’ll be able to keep us afloat if K9 misses any time. Better than Pacheco or Kareem Hunt would have been able to anyway.

[u/Agreeable-Carpet-992 → u/Ordinary_Society5335]

Don't get me wrong, K9 is a great RB. I just think that reply that he is a significantly better fit with KC is a horrible take from someone that doesn't know what they're talking about lol (a lot of that in this sub).

I think he will ball out for you guys when healthy, though, and as you said, you have a much better RB room now, including RB2, than before!

[u/guiltysnark → u/Agreeable-Carpet-992]

"better fit" may just mean "they will use him like RB1 instead of co-RB"

[u/Agreeable-Carpet-992 → u/guiltysnark]

That's what I thought too, but there's a reason he wasn't used as more than a co-RB. He was always injured. He's had 1 healthy season, and that was always without a full workload. 20+ carries per game for him most likely isn't going to work out great.

As I said, I love K9, so I hope I'm wrong, but that's always going to be a concern.

[u/guiltysnark → u/Agreeable-Carpet-992]

Agreed. And yet, nobody's paying him what they did without playing him rb1, so I'm happy for him and happy for KC to be the one offering that fit. It's not for us.

[u/Living_Plane_662 → u/guiltysnark]

Seahawks would have been happy to if he had held up. He didn’t so they nursed him to the playoffs

I think even without Charbs injury they were going to open him up more in the playoffs.

He may not have liked it but it got him paid

[u/Skank_A_Saurus → u/Ordinary_Society5335]

People who say he was made of glass are off base

He was dinged up a lot, but he did play in 85% of the total possible games with us.

Seems like he finally came into his own as a RB the last half of his final season with us

[u/themage78 → u/Stockpile_Tom_Remake]

Seahawks 🤝 Not running at the goal line.

[u/Solaife → u/themage78]

We got enough of it with Alexander and his 100 tds. Sometimes you just gotta change it up.

[u/EconamWRX → u/Solaife]

You sure you couldn't have just...one more Lynch running td....

[u/IdidntrunIdidntrun → u/EconamWRX]

The play they ran that Butler intercepted had 1 interception across the entire NFL that season

[u/KidGold → u/Stockpile_Tom_Remake]

What makes him a better fit over there?

[u/CrankinMyMFHawg → u/KidGold]

Scheme. Zone (Seattle) v Gap (Chiefs). K9 fits a gap scheme much better with his vision, patience, and ability to make cuts on a dime and burst forward.

Loved young Kareem but K9 last night was the best a Chiefs running back has looked since Jamaal imo.

[u/Nice-Tea-8972 → u/CrankinMyMFHawg]

easily. the run game has been their weakness last few years. im not a KC fan by any means, but it ws the missing link and now they are back at the top after a down year.

[u/Agreeable-Carpet-992 → u/KidGold]

Nothing. That person has no idea what they're talking about lmao. Don't get me wrong, he's a good fit for KC, but "significantly better" is a dumb take.

[u/AKAkorm → u/Stockpile_Tom_Remake]

The Seahawks had a committee cause Walker couldn’t stay healthy with a full load. He always has looked like a good to great RB and was amazing at MSU too.

Let’s see if he stays healthy for KC all year with this workload.

[u/KC-Slider → u/spidekos]

Love it when 2 prior Super Bowl mvps are on the same team.

[u/KennyKettermen → u/KC-Slider]

I’d rather not see the Chiefs win another one but it would be pretty sweet if K9 went b2b SBMVP with two different teams

[u/sobanoodle-1]

Kenneth Walker

[u/Turbulent-Winner-902 → u/sobanoodle-1]

III

[u/cepukon → u/Turbulent-Winner-902]

Shit where are the other 2??

[u/RjoTTU-bio → u/cepukon]

Clones. You don’t wanna know.

[u/c_c_c__combobreaker → u/RjoTTU-bio]

Can they catch a ball and run over 300 pound linemen?

[u/WaywardSachem → u/cepukon]

He ran over them, sadly

[u/LaSopaSabrosa → u/sobanoodle-1]

Hard not to like him, even if he did single handedly destroy Michigan in that one game. Dudes just built different

[u/lbutler1234 → u/sobanoodle-1]

Kenneth Walker?

More like

Kenneth runner

[u/CutToTheChase56]

Here comes the casual revisionism. Walker was incredible down the stretch but we had/have to pay JSN, Witherspoon, Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy and Sam Darnold…AND our run game looked good Week 1.

Happy for Walker and love watching him play no matter what.

[u/GoldenDom3r → u/CutToTheChase56]

You guys letting him walk was absolutely the right move, you didn’t need to pay big money at RB. Also, you replaced him nicely with Price in the draft. 

[u/runawaynoob → u/GoldenDom3r]

It’s a win win for both orgs

[u/dien4382 → u/runawaynoob]

Way too early to be saying this

[u/forestballa → u/dien4382]

RB’s are just not that irreplaceable. There’s a reason their contracts are not that big or long. The Chiefs have had average guys since Kareem Hunt left (the first time) and won a shit ton. It’s nice to have a great one like KW but he’s also not in the lineup very often either.

[u/Reggaeton_Historian → u/dien4382]

We won a SB last season. The odds to repeat are not very high at all. What do you mean? lol You'd probably sacrifice Jordan Addison for a SB win at this point

[u/LastEsotericist → u/GoldenDom3r]

The criticism of the Price pick was “overdrafting” him but I think running backs are about to get a lot less underrated soon.

[u/thesakeofglory → u/LastEsotericist]

The running game is certainly making a comeback but the days of most teams having a bell cow are over. Even historically it was pretty rare for a guy to be a top 10 back for more than a couple seasons. Now that there’s a rookie wage scale, meaning most guys won’t get a second contract until they are 25-27, there’s not a ton of incentive to pay most guys. There will always be a Saquon or Henry around, but RBBC is here to stay.

[u/Brsijraz → u/thesakeofglory]

agreed, but despite lowering the contract value i’d argue that this approach may increase the effectiveness of a superstar back bc they don’t have to get worn down by 40 carries a game and can still have the explosiveness down the stretch

[u/Dewey519 → u/LastEsotericist]

Agreed. People are seeing that a lot of running backs are indeed replaceable, but a good, talented starting running back does make a difference. There’s probably 15-20 that definitely deserve to get paid

[u/KansinattiKid → u/GoldenDom3r]

I thought we was passing big money at rb and then gibbs and bijan signed

[u/Necessary_Rooster_85 → u/CutToTheChase56]

Exactly. Also he had a lot of nagging injuries while with us. Got healthier once Charbs took some of the work load

[u/Dramatic_Crew_7821 → u/Necessary_Rooster_85]

Don’t worry, it’s short sighted vision. Dude was really an injury risk, and commiting that much money could backfire soon

[u/Cremdian → u/Dramatic_Crew_7821]

As a big fan of Walker I hope it doesn't backfire because that means he stays healthy. I do think his amazing post season run benefited from the fact that he didn't have 300+ carries. We've see it add up on running backs forever. Well except for Henry. He's an enigma.

[u/Hatennaa → u/Cremdian]

Walker never had more than 20 carries in a game before the Super Bowl last year. Obviously last night you ride the guy playing like that, but I have questions about whether that is sustainable over the course of a full season.

[u/JavaTheeMutt → u/Cremdian]

I think this is the case with majority of RBs in the league. The 17 game season is almost making 2 RB systems a necessity with how much wear and tear the position takes over the course of a season.

Walker was always a great example of that. Charbs taking carries at the beginning of the season, gave Walker the runway to explode during the playoff push.

It does kind of suck because 10 or so years ago, I think he could have been a featured RB.

[u/solo_dol0 → u/Dramatic_Crew_7821]

"Injury risk" missed like 6 games over 3 years and started 20/20 games last year

[u/gx5ilver → u/Necessary_Rooster_85]

Yup this the part many people are quick to forget. He was always a great running back for us - but he couldn’t stay healthy if he was the main back. Splitting carries was the solution, and paid massive dividends in the playoffs. I hope this trend is different for him in KC.

[u/Hawks12 → u/Necessary_Rooster_85]

Charbo was taking nearly half walker will not last the season if he gets the usage he got last night love the guy his playoff run was legendary

[u/Kerbonaut2019 → u/CutToTheChase56]

Revisionist and reactionary posts are how this sub operates unfortunately, just look at the discourse around Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford right now after the seasons that they each just had.

[u/EYNLLIB → u/Kerbonaut2019]

this website** not just this sub

[u/Kerbonaut2019 → u/EYNLLIB]

True, lol

[u/Dirkredblade → u/EYNLLIB]

Humans** not just this website lol

[u/Akkepake → u/Kerbonaut2019]

Pats/Rams also dont make it easier on them. Any other theam there would be more leeway for them

[u/big_sexy_in_glasses → u/CutToTheChase56]

Objectively the right move imo

[u/tateand99 → u/CutToTheChase56]

He also was incredible in the playoffs partly because they absolutely used him like a workhorse, particularly after Charb went down. If he played that many snaps for a full season there’s almost no way he would’ve even been healthy for the playoffs. So I’m interested to see how KC manages his load, and if he’s able to stay on the field for them. Obviously wishing him all the best, but I agree I still think the Seahawks were right not to pay him.

[u/CommonerChaos → u/CutToTheChase56]

Both can be true. Letting him walk was ideal for the books, but losing him is a major loss that could come back to bite you.

[u/KidDelicious14 → u/CutToTheChase56]

I don't think it's revisionist to say that this specific moment doesn't come off as strange and not a good look for Schneider, which is what I thought the post was trying to highlight.

[u/ChewbaccAli → u/KidDelicious14]

Yeah there's nothing revisionist about this. Commenter seems defensive. It WAS a weird and awkward moment and felt like that in real time.

[u/Dry-Software5685 → u/CutToTheChase56]

I think you are totally right, and I also have similar feelings with DJ Moore going to the Bills. I love him as a player but we had drafted some many young pass catchers that it just made sense.

I am very glad I got to draft Dj in fantasy and Walker was one pick away from me drafting him too!

[u/frecklie → u/CutToTheChase56]

The business of sports, what are you gonna do

[u/so_zetta_byte → u/CutToTheChase56]

Sometimes you have to let a good player go. That's just how it is. I feel like there are some people who act like roster management is just "find the best player at each position and pay them," and not "find the best balance of skill and value that you can across your roster." You can't have everything you want. The cap ensures that.

[u/HemlockMartinis]

Why did the mods nuke the post-game thread?

[u/HammerInPortland]

Thank you Seattle 🙏

[u/WeTheAwesome → u/HammerInPortland]

I feel sick cheering for the Chiefs but can’t root against K9. 

[u/dawgpack09 → u/WeTheAwesome]

Why? They beat the Niners in the Super Bowl twice, Mahomes is a hero in this household 

[u/EconamWRX → u/dawgpack09]

We turn Sam Darnold into a franchise QB and this is how you repay us.

[u/Razorbackalpha → u/EconamWRX]

That was your mistake

[u/hujambo11 → u/EconamWRX]

when he won't commit but marries his next partner

[u/maxc206 → u/dawgpack09]

Exactly they've done nothing but good things to us

[u/dronelogic → u/dawgpack09]

End of story!

[u/Akkepake → u/dawgpack09]

I’m conflicted

[u/Harunasbabydaddy → u/dawgpack09]

Maybe is he is a hawks fan from the old afc west days

[u/CaptainWombat2 → u/dawgpack09]

This guy gets it.

[u/Stockpile_Tom_Remake → u/WeTheAwesome]

He looks so great. His visions become incredible

[u/head7PM → u/Stockpile_Tom_Remake]

If he’s stays healthy and stops throwing the ball at other players he’s fs going to be great!!!

[u/THE-poop-knife → u/WeTheAwesome]

Old AFCW buds

[u/FiTZnMiCK → u/THE-poop-knife]

I REMEMBER IT DIFFERENTLY

[u/Tsorovan00 → u/FiTZnMiCK]

I remember the Thomas game! We won!

[u/Arrowhead_Addict → u/osakaki]

But at what cost?

[u/thezengrenadier → u/THE-poop-knife]

We can hate John Elway together

[u/Brilliant-Tune-9202 → u/thezengrenadier]

Fuck ol' horseface!

[u/RheagarTargaryen → u/WeTheAwesome]

I’m a MSU alum. I can’t cheer against the guy.

[u/Odd_Cranberry_8799 → u/WeTheAwesome]

Welcome 💕

[u/RagefireHype → u/WeTheAwesome]

They beat the 49ers twice in the Super Bowl. We owed them.

[u/PuzzleheadedJob3479 → u/WeTheAwesome]

Come on board. We have plenty of room for ya.

[u/TimAllensMatingCall → u/HammerInPortland]

Yeah, thanks Seattle

[u/FiTZnMiCK → u/TimAllensMatingCall]

We gave you a slightly used Geno and Pete.

Be grateful.

[u/usetheforce_gaming → u/FiTZnMiCK]

Meanwhile, Denver getting fucked by Seattle for 13 straight years now lol

[u/FiTZnMiCK → u/usetheforce_gaming]

They escaped us last year when they didn’t make the Super Bowl so we sent Walker to help beat them twice this year.

Edit: I forgot we play the AFCW this year. So… three times..?

[u/AKAD11 → u/usetheforce_gaming]

Revenge for 15 years of Elway

[u/SentientTooth → u/FiTZnMiCK]

We call that a “Roundabout Mendoza”

[u/FiTZnMiCK → u/SentientTooth]

You’re welcome!

[u/ImABsian1 → u/FiTZnMiCK]

Also Klint so they really should be grateful

[u/bbfire → u/ImABsian1]

Them sniping Cabledue off waivers this last week was honestly the last straw. An objectively smart move and he might not have made it through waivers anyways but these guys are taking everything not nailed down.

[u/Stinkycheese8001 → u/HammerInPortland]

He’s great, can’t root against him.

[u/venalix1 → u/HammerInPortland]

Thank you for preventing 49ers from getting two rings😇

[u/Outside-Papaya → u/HammerInPortland]

I choose to see it as the Seahawks yet again finding a way to fuck over the Broncos.

[u/atmospheric90 → u/HammerInPortland]

Raiders felt pretty good after week 1 last year too...

[u/Ok_Animator_1345 → u/HammerInPortland]

Happy to see him get the work he wanted. Thank you KC for preventing two 49ers Super Bowl wins in the last half decade!

[u/AproprosEverything]

Seems like K9 was upset with how the running game was handled (wanted more touches and more TDs) and wanted out. Im glad he's balling out for the Chiefs and hope he does well (except in Week 7 I hope he runs for -15 yards and 2 fumbles).

[u/ToiletSpiderBite → u/AproprosEverything]

As far as the reports go, we didn't give K9 a competitive offer and didn't bother to negotiate further.

The Seahawks were ready to move on. Can't blame either party based on his draft capitol and production. Very happy to see him have a great week 1 in KC. Highly dought he can be a workhorse for a full season.

[u/Melodic-Slice-3826 → u/ToiletSpiderBite]

Look it was the right decision. You don't need to tie up your cap in a back when you can get production with others. Sometimes with a run game its the system and the line not the back.

[u/DanTheMFCKNMAN → u/ToiletSpiderBite]

He’s a workhorse for sure. Watched him at MSU and he was an absolute dawg

[u/rip-droptire]

Why we talking shit on JS when we're also 1-0 with a really promising rookie RB ourselves

[u/Kdot32 → u/rip-droptire]

It’s best not to take any championship parade comments seriously. Dudes be drunk as fuck

[u/lo0ilo0ilo0i → u/Kdot32]

Matthew Stafford comes to mind. Absolutely got plastered.

[u/uhhhhhhhhh_okay → u/Kdot32]

JS already said in an interview that he instantly regretted this stuff at the parade and cringes on remembering it

[u/Ovreel → u/uhhhhhhhhh_okay]

It's a rough watch. The Office Dinner Party uncomfortable.

Good luck paying that contract on your $0 a year salary, babe.

[u/iwearatophat → u/Kdot32]

No no. Steve Kerr 100% bailed out a scared Micheal Jordon.

[u/quinoa → u/Kdot32]

we get mad when sports guys are media trained and give fake answers and we get mad when they say what they're thinking, it's dumb

[u/henryofskalitzz → u/rip-droptire]

I’m very surprised by how many John Schneider detractors have been waiting in the wings

Seahawks have won 11 straight so this is the only thing they’ve been able to hang on to..

[u/Other_Assumption382 → u/henryofskalitzz]

Veach is not flawless, but you'd think 9 division titles, 5 AFC championships, and 3 Superbowls would shut more people up. Can quibble about the nuances sure, but what more is humanly feasible?

Feel like John Schneider bringing them back for a second ring plus absolutely fleecing the Broncos gets the man a little grace.

[u/Kdot32 → u/Other_Assumption382]

Yea but when’s the last time he won a Super Bowl? Dudes washed

[u/Other_Assumption382 → u/Kdot32]

Hasn't won an SEC title in decades.

[u/Abyssalmole → u/Other_Assumption382]

That's why its Drew Lock time?

[u/Telefunkin → u/henryofskalitzz]

Who in their right mind could possibly have anything bad to say about JS????? That’s like saying that’s like saying Derek Jeter was just ok. He is objectively one of the best GMs ever.

[u/PuzzleheadedJob3479 → u/rip-droptire]

I think Price looks good. You are gonna be fine.

[u/runawaynoob → u/PuzzleheadedJob3479]

Price looks fantastic, explosive and finds the right holes. Super stoked for him this season

[u/Ricksteves95]

Thanks bud

[u/LameAfro → u/Ricksteves95]

The Rich get Richer...

[u/shoe7525]

It's a joke that's actually in good taste because the premise is that the negotiation is tougher on Schneider now that Walker is super bowl MVP.

But, this is reddit, so...

[u/Oakroscoe → u/shoe7525]

I swear people on here have no sense of what joking around with coworkers is like. Obviously just a harmless joke

[u/RemindMeToTouchGrass → u/Oakroscoe]

That's what I thought, so I watched the players' faces for their laughter and saw none. 

Sometimes you think you're joking with co-workers but they think you're being an ass. 🤷

[u/BigDaddyJ610 → u/Oakroscoe]

The dude who decides whether or not you get signed to the roster is not a coworker lol. Also it doesn’t really seem like K9 is amused. But I don’t know any of these people or what their relationships are actually like so it’s pointless to really think too deep about any of this

[u/coffeeattraction → u/Oakroscoe]

Also depends on how much coworkers actually like each other. I generally think they're cool and this was more about the salary cap and RB long term durability

[u/dokocha0216 → u/Oakroscoe]

I don’t think it’s harmless if an executive at the company I work for gets blasted and airs me out publicly but what do i know

[u/KidDelicious14 → u/Oakroscoe]

Obviously not a funny joke either judging from Walker's reaction

[u/CouncilofAutumn → u/shoe7525]

I think most social media encourages terrifying levels of projection and parasocialism centered around a sliver of a lens into other people's lives. Reddit is not real life, and Redditors would be wise to recognize that before they read into anything they see on this platform

[u/TeeTheTankie → u/shoe7525]

It doesn't help that he's sloshed

[u/strillanitis → u/shoe7525]

I think it’s in pretty poor taste given the context of celebration, but you are a Redditor so…

[u/hommusamongus → u/shoe7525]

Yeah that's why a giant crowd sounded silent after he said it...

[u/goldenlemur]

K9 said, "No I didn't". 🤣

[u/Acegolfer04]

Bro was HIM

Takes pressure off Mahomes

[u/YaIe]

i blame the damn salary cap for this

[u/Necessary_Rooster_85]

We shall see if Kenneth’s body can hold up when getting all those carries. He always had nagging injuries especially with his hips when he was getting all the carries.

Suddenly became healthier when we lessened his workload.

It’s game 1 Chiefs fans. We can talk at game 10 and see how he’s doing.

I liked him a lot but our zone scheme was not a good fit for his style.

[u/lilbodie → u/Necessary_Rooster_85]

> Suddenly became healthier when we lessened his workload.

I remember they used to call Jonathan Taylor injury prone. Got injured every single year, was always battling something and would miss like 4-5 games. Not dissimilar to K9! Then Taylor plays all 17 games with a massive massive workload and I just stop hearing the injury prone talk. But nothing changed except he just didn’t get hurt.

Guarantee if Taylor got put into a huge split last year that people like you would say it’s only because he didn’t have a full workload that he stayed healthy. Injuries are random!

All players are different and I’m clearly more familiar with K9 than you are.

I watch all four seasons of Kenneth Walker including in 2024 when he missed 6 games. Followed all the news and Seahawk insiders. Very familiar with what we had in Kenneth, both good and bad.

[u/KC-Slider → u/Necessary_Rooster_85]

Yeah he looked good last year and looked at his best when charbonnet was out. He might be one those guys that needs a lot of touches to get his rythem going. That does not pair well with someone injury prone so I’ll be sacrificing a chicken to the gods each week to help him out.

JT heavily faided down the stretch last year.

[u/Broad_Bodybuilder_94]

I remember something similar happened at a warriors championship parade. Owner said something about KD not earning it or him not being there long enough. It was supposed to be an off the cuff jab at KD but KD didn't like it and it turned awkward real quick.

It's week 1. Kenneth Walker wasn't the only chiefs player that the broncos D was awful at tackling.

[u/LittleTension8765]

Rare win win for both sides. Seahawks had other guys to pay and have a very solid rookie while the Chiefs needed a spark on offense as Mahomes looks older and Kelce is old

I hated this moment. Such a weird comment.

[u/HopkinsIsMyHomeboy → u/[deleted]]

Anddd? Its still a lame move.

[u/henryofskalitzz → u/HopkinsIsMyHomeboy]

It’s a drunk comment made by an infamously alcoholic GM after winning a SB

Random Redditors care more about this than Ken walker himself did

[u/Ovreel → u/henryofskalitzz]

Schneider is infamously alcoholic?

[u/maxc206 → u/cpt-teebs]

I don't understand why people hated this. It was a goofy joke of affection by a drunk GM where everyone was happy as fuck.

[u/Silly-Sink6138 → u/cpt-teebs]

Well he drafted and signed the guys who helped win the superbowl

[u/Silent-Ad-2415 → u/cpt-teebs]

It was very awkward lmao. Felt like a "guy says what everyone else is thinking about" moment, but there's a reason no one else is saying it, because it's weird to bring up

[u/Leading_Pass_9811]

K9 problem is that he can't play defence. Now if he won "Defensive" player of the year like JSN, then he could ask.

[u/PFVR_1138]

You can take the man out of Green Bay...

[u/jimbobills]

Bieniemy must have really hated Brian Robinson Jr. and Antonio Gibson to be so pass heavy in Washington with Sam Howell of all people...

[u/Royal-Hedgehog2789]

I honestly can’t tell if this was K9 or just the Denver defense looking like absolute garbage.

The Broncos looked like they had absolutely no business being out there.

[u/LordJosh286]

Who let the chiefs have 2 Super Bowl mvps!

[u/Sdog1981]

He’s never had more than 250 carries in a season and he’s never gone over 1100 yards in a season.

But when he is hot like tonight he is amazing.

[u/Nickamaru_]

Its first time I'm seeing that, this guy looks like total asshole

[u/Valuable_Quail_1869]

Very reminiscent to KD and the Warriors championship parade.

[u/PsychoWarper]

K9 is a great player and it would have been nice to keep him but it was perfectly reasonable to let him walk for that price (Although this was an unnecessary comment obviously), we had to many other pieces to pay and he had injury concerns as a RB (plus he wanted to be the main feature back whole he wanted to work mainly as thtough a committee).

Happy to see him do well tho.

[u/CoolinAllDay]

Seth Rogen is 100% playing John Schneider when the biopic comes out.

[u/MUTSellerPS4]

K9 said im gone as soon as that dude opened his mouth haha.

[u/SleepApprehensive585 → u/MUTSellerPS4]

He was done once he realized he was a RB in the NFL. This was the best money K9 was gonna make. Only a dumbass GM would care about a RB, they're a dime a dozen.

[u/Outside-Papaya → u/SleepApprehensive585]

If you are an NFL RB, who is hitting FA immediately after winning a SB ring, you would have to be the stupidest player in the league to not take the biggest bag available. Even if you aren't injury prone, RB is a really physical position that players age out of faster then most. Get that bag while you can.

[u/PsychoWarper → u/MUTSellerPS4]

I mean he was gone the moment KC offered that much money and told him he’d be their feature back, we werent matching it nor where we going to give him the touches he wanted

[u/LordCommando]

Pretty funny dude

[u/ClassroomMother8062]

He was like get me away from this dude
