AND I'm pretty sure everyone knows we were an average defense away from being the best team in the NFL during the Vermeil tenure...when you have coaches telling Carl it's the system, it's the system...what can he do?
He can't predict the future...I would say he's done an ADEQUATE job since Marty...and I definitely would have no problem with him being fired...
But he's not even close to the worst GM in the NFL...

IMHO the sole reason we were a SB contender was because of Marty. Every year he was handcuffed by a cheap GM\owner who never spent the necessary dollars to upgrade the team except for the every other year 1 big FA bust that they signed excluding Marcus and Montana.
The Chiefs routinely over achieved based on the rosters overall talent and that was because Marty willed them and coached them to succeed.
But in the playoffs you have to have superior talent and great coaching to win and we didn't have neither.
