This organization would likely be exponentially better off had DV never come to town.
Funny that Herm gets the majority of the criticism around here. His plan to build a team was 100 percent correct. The problem was that he wasn't (and isn't) up to the challenge.

I agree. Vermiel is a good coach but he basically set the Chiefs back for a decade with his piss poor drafting and giving up of picks for players who wouldn't be here very long in order to win now. I will at least give Herm credit for trying to build through the draft. What'd you like to see is a Herm ran draft with Dickie coaching the team. The problem is, Dick did not really like rookies and young players a lot. Not at that stage in his career. He was too impatient when he got here. Not that I can blame him having to deal with the likes of Tony Banks and Lawrence Phillips.
