I am honestly in supporting of Re-building, but....

I don't think Carl Peterson is the right man for that.

Seriously, after reading Whitlocks article today it gave me the impression that Carl is even more than just a problem for this franchise, he is a barrier. He is very loath when it comes to admitting to making personnel mistakes.

Seriously, the Chiefs tried to hide it all season long making us think they were a playoff team by starting Huard instead of Croyle. Saying he's the best guy to give them a chance to win.

And on an interesting note, I recall Ian Eagle talking about Herm in the beginning of the season. I don't exactly recall what he said, but it was somewhere along the lines where Carl and Herm weren't exactly on the same page in terms of how things get done.

I am strongly starting to believe and see that there is some truth to that. Now, I am no Herm fan when it comes to coaching. But, if there is at least 1 thing I give the man credit for, it is having the right idea by trying to re-build this team through the draft. I think Herm wants to do that, and we're seeing that, but Carl is definately interfering or at least slowing down the process of developing youth.

And what makes me say that? Well, Why didn't we start our young guys at the beginning? Why did we all of a sudden play decide to play Kolby Smith now? Because we had no choice. But then why did we decide to play Priest before? Out of fear? I can understand the fans frustration in seeing how we didn't play Croyle at the beginning? When its clear we should of. There is no hiding the fact we are a bad team. But what pisses me off as a fan, is how this franchise tried to sell to the fans that they are? Clear cut flat out garbage.

That alone would not make me go watch another game this year! Seriously, They aint gonna sniff my money.

Anyway, the Chiefs just fooled themselves, and Carl Petersons decisions to play veterans instead of youth was simply a flat out waste. I never interpret it as a good thing when your GM and head coach are not on the same page? Something has to be done, and if you ask me, I rather keep Herm instead of Carl. And yes, I know many of you hate Herm. But at least he has the right idea by building this team through the draft and playing youth? Can we say that about Peterson?

That is the only reason Id keep Herm alone over Peterson. What exactly does Peterson bring to the table? Consistent 8-8 seasons, and signing older players 2nd tier FA's? We've seen this time and time again from him. That doesn't bode well when you have a head coach who wants to build his team through the draft.
