His moves didn't thrill me this off-season, but I'd rather take a year to evaluate an entire operation than to blow money needlessly. But there were few free agents that were going to bridge the talent gap we had going into this season.
You can be mad he didn't address things, but saying that we will never be good, it's the same old shit, is complete and utter nonsense.
There is nothing about this season that reminds of me of a Carl Peterson team.
Are we terrible? Yes. But I really think some would rather just be 8-8 with a few free agent additions than really weeding through this roster.
If Pioli sucks in a year and 4 months from now, you can say it's much the same, but it sounds like you expected Pioli to fix the mistakes made over an entire decade over one off-season. Not possible.

The Bad Guy,
I want you to understand I have nothing against Pioli. I don't think it's his fault mainly because I believe football operations really boils down to who owns the team. Im not a big fan of Clark Hunt. I hate to admit it, but, I don't have faith in the guy.
Look, all Im trying to say is the philosophy and mentality at Arrowhead hasn't changed. Just because the Chiefs have a new regime it doesn't equate to anything. The owner ultimately calls the shots in the end.
You can't build a team with scrubs? Its that simple. When you see the Chiefs trying to upgrade a position they're weak at with a sh*t player. It makes you kinda wonder. I am mad you know why? Because it really seems like this is a franchise that is not dedicated to winning. When you're weak at a position, the proper thing to do is go out and get yourself a player who is better then the player you currently have. It's that simple. Not replace a scrub with another scrub? Such is the case when they replaced McIntosh with Ndukwe. Thats just an example of what Im talking about.
It doesn't take a genious to figure this out. When "GOOD" players are available in FA they act passive all the time. There is no excuse. They have chances, instead they sign 2nd, 3rd tier players, we've seen it with Herm and now were seeing it with pioli. Again, this philosophy and mentality is the reason why they are losers.
