Step 1. Have a season

Well, at least they got the obligatory "Chiefs need an OT" argument out of the way first.

You should keep detoxing. Jones is a good fit.

It is sort of weird reading through this thread....with my names attached to the quotes its like people slamming me over and over. ROFL

#1 - Find a NT. The true anchor and most important position in a 34 defense, yet we STILL refuse to address this position now heading into the 3rd year of it. Yes, we drafted Powe, but he's a rookie and after that there's virtuall nobody. Smith and Edwards are both FA's and probably good chance they won't be re-signed, and even then...they aren't true 34 NT's.

#2 - Find a (good) vet backup QB. Face it, if we were to lose Cassel to inj, our chances of winning ANY game falls anywhere from 0 to 1 percent.

#3 - Slot WR. Bowe and Baldwin (hopefully) will lockdown as a formidable WR duo for the next 7+ years....but after them we don't have anyone else. Chambers is awful....and DMC apparantly is gonna take on more of a RB role (he's gonna get killed).

#4 - Offensive tackle. I know a lot of people and radio nutjobs have this higher on the priority list, but our Oline was fairly good last season, not great, but good enough to allow Cassel to have an improving year, even gave us Chiefs fans a false sense of security given that he made the probowl. Charles had a helluva year running, so the OL had to have been somewhat good, probably better than most people around here give them credit for. Having that said, we have no depth at OT (left or right). Need to address that. If we can sign Jamaal Brown, he'd be a instand upgrade over BRich or even Albert for that matter (should Albert move to RT).

5# Backup RB. Thomas Jones was a good compliment brusing back to JC, but he was slow, and there were SO many times where he got a seal and got tackled from behind and I would think (damnit if that was Charles that would have been at least a 15+ yd run.) Appreciate Jones' work while here, but I think he should move on, the Chiefs should too. He's a helluva guy, deserves a ring, he should go somewhere and ride the pine and get one. Chiefs won't be there this season.

6# ILB - I can deal with Belcher starting again this season, he did an ok job, but it's not something to absolutely worry about at this point. Next season this probably needs to be an issue of concern, we got bigger holes to fill this season.

7# CB - Can't have too many good CB's. Hopefully Carr is resigned. But the depth behind Flowers and Carr isn't good. Arenas' role on this team is more of a ST player and after that might as well be camp fodder. A good NCB would be nice.

1. Get a franchise QB
2. everything else

while i agree with this, we're stuck with Cassel and there ain't a damn thing Pioli is gonna do about it

I might like this list more than the original.

Not to nitpick, but the OP says w play the NFC South, aren't we playing the NFC North?

Damn, you're right.

NULL AND VOID

it's a pro football talk article. most of their staff is drunk half the time.

That's the dumbest piece of crap I ever read.

No offense, of course, Zach.

I disagree.. I think for a rookie Arenas played damn well. He is a smart kid and will only get better. He will probably never be more than a NCB, but he could be a good one.

Give Charles more carries. I want that guy beat up and out of the league as quickly as possible.

1. Score more points than the other team.

Ya know....................that aint that bad of an idea!!!
