That's why I put an extra pair of hand warmers in with the foot warmers. I stuck them down at my toes. :)

How many games did you make it to this year?

LT Brandon Albert - Strongly agree. Albert had a very promising rookie year and looks to be a starter on the Oline for the next decade.
RB Jamal Charles - Disagree somewhat. He provided some excitement and is a good (not great) player to have but he isn't a player you build a team around.
QB Tyler Thigpen - Strongly disagree. Thigpen played better than anyone expected but hasn't done enough to warrant any long-term plans.
TE Cottam - Agree. Cottam looked great in limited opportunities. Doubtful he could replace Tony but, who could? In any case, if Gonzalez leaves I have no problem penciling-in Cottam as the starter for the next 4-6 years.
WR Dwayne Bowe - Disagree strongly. Bowe may or may not ever reach the probowl, he almost certainliy won't be considered for the HOF because he isn't a burner and he drops too many passes. Bowe would be a great #2 but he's a mediocre #1.
CB Brandon Flowers - Strongly agree. Flowers did an amazing job this year with no effing help.
CB M. Leggett - Disagree somewhat. Leggett is a good/maybe great nickel or dime CB but probably not a starter. It's great we have him now but he isn't somebody you build a team around.
LB Derrick Johnson - Somewhat disagree- DJ is a solid linebacker who gives us 1 or 2 great performances a year but looks pretty average for extended periods. I do hold out hope that new coaches and schemes can make him more effective but, to date, he hasn't been special.
DT Glenn Dorsey - At this point, who knows?
DE Tamba Hali - Strongly disagree. Hali is average to below average in general terms and a certifiable bust in relation to his draft status. We absolutely have to replace him.
S Pollard/Page - Somewhat disagree. Page and Pollard have been ok but they are not players to build a team around.

By the way, when people say the team is devoid of talent I would think they are referring to specific positions. QB and DE and the most important positions in today's NFL and we have nothing at those positions.

This team is devoid of talent. When you need to turn over roughly half the starters, plus get good depth, that means there is a distinct lack of talent.

we're all just jealous of you Shox
you're obviously getting your brains ****ed out

Well I can at least respect someone who has put some thought into why the Chiefs are lacking talent. I don't agree for reasons already stated, but I certainly respect some real thinking going on. More than 90% of the attempts in this thread. Example:

You have to think to be a true fan? Include me out.

I think a "fair-weather fan" is someone who only gives two-sh*t$ when the team wins. Most of the people around here are discouraged because they want the team to be better. If we were all fair-weather fans this place would get about seven posts a day.

But at least you got the part about the Chiefs not being a good football team right.

No, no, no, you got that all wrong. To be a true fan, you either have to think the team has great talent, live in Jackson County, or go to games.
