Teams like Washington, Oakland, etc have been known to throw money at every superstar FA possible despite the current state of the team, and it's backfired for them. You can't really say Clark has been a failure because he hasn't taken that risky approach. He deserves his criticism, but his FA approach doesn't prove him to be a failure. You may not agree with it, but that doesn't make it a failure.

You know what I do? I always look at the results. Because that's the bottomline!
you said Clarks FA approach doesn't prove him to be a failure? well, my friend, honestly, I disagree with you. Because it has made him a failure.
When I look at the Chiefs signings in FA I see journeyman type players.
Honestly, Devard darling was supposed to the Chiefs #2 WR. As we all know, that signing hasn't made an impact at all.
Alphonso Boone who was a backup in Chicago, a good depth guy for your defensive front, but you know something? thats all he is? According to the Chiefs, they thought he could start?
Damion McIntosh who probably wouldn't start on most teams is a starter on the Chiefs and a very bad one.
Adrian Jones is another guy who was waived by the jets. And is also a very bad starter on the Chiefs offensive line. Why is the offensive line bad? Gee, look at the signings? Jones, and McIntosh. yay! And we all know having a good offensive line is an intergral part of success in football. To see the Chiefs just patchwork the line as a fan makes me sick to my stomach.
How about Pat Thomas and Demmorrio Williams? 2 starters on the linebacking core. Who are backups. thomas was cut by Jacksonville for a reason? hes not good. And hes a starter on the Chiefs. An important position once again just being patched up by the Chiefs.
Just look at these guys the Chiefs sign? Did any of these guys improve Clark Hunts team? I think we all know the answer to that question. Its definately part of the reason clark is a failure.
