Any average NFL RB would be doing what Morris is doing this season or what McGahee did with Denver in 2011. Even Lance Ball averaged 4.8 ypc on nearly 100 carries.
Whether we lose one or both the Chiefs d-line is not nearly as devoid of talent as you are making it out to be. Compared to what the Cardinals have to do on their o-line, our d-line is in much better shape. Our secondary is what we need to address on defense. Not the ILB you keep brining up which is one of least positions of need on any defense.
Yeah their o-line sucks. What is your point? That it is not going to be as easy a fix as you are suggesting? No one is arguing against that a large part of their troubles are o-line but to suggest that is an easy fix and our issues are somehow much tougher is disingenuous.
And again, a premise of yours is that Whisenhunt is a good coach, with which I agree. Well why couldn't they have a better year if they supposedly have all this talent? And if the reason they didn't have a good year is because of o-line and QB, well then you are underestimating how important those things are to that team. It is either Whisenhunt isn't that good or the talent isn't clearly better than any other teams'. Either way one of your arguments is wrong, so which do you choose?

What a bunch of bullshit.
Jackson, Dorsey, Bailey, Smith and Pituatoa SUCK. Silar is garbage. I'm healthier than Kendrick Lewis and I'm 47 years old.
You can argue all you want but that doesn't change the fact that the Chiefs need a shit ton of personnel on BOTH sides of the ball before they can compete for the playoffs, especially considering there's not an RGIII or Andrew Luck or even a Cam Newton available this year.
I said it in 2009 and I'll say it again in 2013: Scott Pioli set this franchise back FIVE YEARS with the selections of Tyson Jackson and Matt Cassel and it could be several more years before they're ready to compete consistently.
