I can tell you that if I were Andy Reid (who just happens to own a home in San Diego, which is a 45 minute or so flight from Phoenix), I'd chose Arizona over Kansas City because they're closer to competing for a playoff spot.

I think it's really close.
Some of the guys that played so well on the AZ defense last year did so because they were so well coached. If you would have swapped the entire personnel group in KC and AZ, I think the KC personnel group would've given you a better defense under the AZ coaching staff than they actually had this year.
Larry's a better player than Bowe and Michael Floyd might be a stud, but Bowe's no slouch and Charles is as valuable an offensive player as any non-QB in the league.
Give KC a good coaching staff and allow them to fatten up on the SD and Oakland games while splitting with Denver and I think KC has a nice, clear path to the playoffs.
You can't understate how awful this coaching staff was this season.
The real difference in talent
could be the depth of the respective squads (the Chiefs have
none), but I can't claim to be able to speak intelligently to the Cardinals depth players. That may give AZ a slight edge, but I honestly don't see the Cards having a clear edge in starter talent.
