In 2012 Morris averaged 4.8 ypc. In 2011 McGahee average 4.8 ypc. Charles is on a completely different level than those guys, averaging 6.4 ypc in 2010. The first two had success because of the running QB and the option offense. Charles had success in spite of the QB.
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.

The Chiefs have done an absolutely horrific job of choosing defensive lineman in the past decade, save for Jared Allen.

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.

Their troubles lie squarely on the shoulders of their GM. Whiz will be a head coach in 2013. Bank it.

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?
