LMAO I used to look at it and go, "a ****ing Moose"? "Count Chocula, please"...

Ha! I didn't get to eat Count Chocula as a kid. I'm sure I would have liked it more.

Cookie Crisp was pretty bomb too.

Oftentimes, when coming home from school when was in second grade, I would open a box of Golden Grahams and eat that cereal straight out the box with my hands while I played Toejam & Earl for Sega Genesis.

I used "poor" only because "disappointing" was too long.

You shouldn't get too worked up over a headline.

this article is biased. T. Jackson, Magee, Suckop and Cassel are hardly busts.

Great NFL franchises are mostly comprised of players who can be described as "hardly busts."

The only thing you really need to take from what I wrote is this -where are the ****ing GAME CHANGERS?

Lots of good memories about those days, though you must be a little younger than I. I think I was in 6th grade when that game was out.

Either way, agree 100% on 2009 being horrendous personnel-wise. But I disagree that we didn't show major signs of improvement over 2009. And I think it's way too soon to make any kind of judgments on rookies. I think it's a pretty unfair standard to expect 2nd round picks to net over 700 yards in their rookie season or to already be ready to be a shutdown corner. You point out a few exceptions, but hey... just because Tom Brady became a great QB doesn't mean that all QBs in the 6th round should be expected to be great QBs. The truth is, around half of second round picks are going to fail, around 75% will not be solid starters, and around 85-90% will not be pro bowl type starters. Chiefs Planet has a weird way of overstating how much of a guarantee and how good second round picks are supposed to be.

Berry,Flowers, Charles and McCluster could all be that person.

As well as Bowe if he actually performs to his potential.

Bowe and Charles?

Who drafted them again?

I wonder if that picture of Pioli in the OP is recent.Compared to pics from last year he looks like he has aged 10 years already in KC.Poor kid.:fire:

Pioli needs something GOOD to start happening with the players he selects.

Since his first draft was a bag of horrible shit, he damn well needs someone from his second class to live up to the bar set by other rookies just last year.

Maybe if Tyson Jackson was a badass and Colin Brown had turned into a competent right tackle we wouldn't demand so much from McCluster and Arenas.

But Pioli shit his bed, and now he has to lay in it.

You can put Aarinas on that list. His return game can be huge for this team. He may/may not become a great CB but he is a play maker on ST. He can change the dynamics of a game with a big return.
