James Palmer does a fantastic job.

NFL insider for Bleacher Report.

James, how are you, sir?

Good to hear your voice, buddy.

What's going on?

Well, not a lot.

Getting excited for football.

And we're in strange territory here because for quite a while, you know, been one of the favorites when it comes to talking about the Kansas City Chiefs.

And now a team that's looking at 9th, 10th, 14th on these different power polls.

I'm curious, what's your expectation for what a 6-11 Chiefs team is with a quarterback coming back from major reconstructive surgery?

We are seeing, like, listen, for the, you know, really up until maybe last year or maybe the year before at the earliest, the AFC West has resembled a lot of the AFC East that Tom Brady and the Patriots ruled, and they just made it easy for them to get a home playoff game by being a –

division champ winner and oftentimes giving them a leg up and being the number one seed, being able to play all the way through the playoffs.

It looks a lot more like the AFC North did with Tomlin and Harbaugh having to battle it out and throw in, you know, back in the day, Marvin Lewis and Devin

and then later this current Joe Burrow inclination of the Bengals where you've got real competition.

It gets tougher to get that one seed and hold everything at home.
