Could this end up being a more disappointing offseason than 2009?

[keg in kc]

I'm thinking purely personnel moves. The coaching staff has a better pedigree, even if Reid is basically the last guy I wanted here. But player-wise? What are we looking at here?

Now this is not really a "draft Geno/Barkely/whoever" thing, it's more of a "how ****ed are we as fans of this franchise?" commentary. About the circumstances we, as fans, find ourselves in. I mean, think about it: we get the number one pick and for whatever reason, whether it's the prospects at the position or the front office philosophy, we aren't taking a QB. We get a complete turnover of the front office and coaching staff that basically everyone wanted, and Matt Cassel will be shown the door, to everyone's joy....yet our new quarterback is Alex frikkin Smith. With Chase Daniel serving as his boy wonder.

Does it get worse than this? Seriously. You couldn't script this stuff. This is like the Bad News Bears and the Indians from Major League had a baby who decided to play football. "Change" comes every 5 years or so, but nothing ever seems to get any better.

The football gods continue laughing.

Reports are saying that the "defensive player" who is still in Kansas City meeting with the#Chiefs , is Sean Smith.

Wait there still in a meeting?

This is how teams like the Patriots, Steelers, Ravens, and Packers have been built. While I think everyone knows that this isn't going to yield an 11-5 season in year 1, it's hopefully setting up this organization to be great in the next 3-4 years and on.

Except.. you know... the chiefs don't have a quarterback that would start for 30 other teams in the league.

"year 1"

a rebuilding year of what was suppose to be a 4 year rebuild the last four years from the Herm regime

so essentially an 8 year rebuild. Only the Chiefs can rebuild of a rebuild, with the ****ing 1st rebuild regime's foundation players nonetheless.

This was the only reason I pimped Herm. He was a huge influence on the draft philosopy ever since he was in KC the first time.

He knows talent. He's an excellent evaluator of talent.

Problem is he's a horribly inept HC...

I wouldn't let him coach it, but I'd let Herm build my team in a New York ****ing minute.

I think the roster is already filled with solid talent and with coaches that actually have a clue, they'll be competitive this year. All I'm saying is that hopefully they can finally get to a point where they're just practically breeding talent year in and year out through the draft. Re-sign our big name free agents who are leaving? Who cares. We have a guy waiting in the wings to take over for him.
