Sure and every team runs the same system so a player on one team should be the same on another team...correct? Just because he is doing well with Chiefs doesn't mean he would have done well in Seattle. Two different teams and systems. There is a reason he is not in Seattle. He didn't fit their plans.
If you're going to say McGrath couldn't have the same success here, make your point using specific arguments. Why can't he? How specifically did he not fit our system?
Pete Carroll said he was cut because we had injuries and suspensions along the defensive line and they needed to open spots for the DL. He also stated they were hoping to pickup McGrath later but KC snatched him up too soon.
Now, McGrath is playing great in KC, and is already becoming a cult hero among fans for his awesome beard and blocking skills. Andy Reid said he'll get a chance to start even when the regular starters come back because he's a great blocker with excellent hands. We saw the same thing here in the preseason, when he made some great catches and was playing very well against the starters.
As I said, that move stands out as a really bad move by our front office. They should never have gone into the season with only 2 TEs considering how many injuries and problems we've had at the position. McGrath is a million times better than Kellen Davis, and we could REALLY have used him with 3 of our starting OL injured.
