Should the Chiefs have drafted Aaron Rodgers over Derrick Johnson?
Would we have been in a better position now???
Rodgers would have gotten to learn from Trent Green a few years.... Hmmmm....thoughts to ponder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_NFL_Draft |

In hindsight, yes. But at the time I would have been PISSED OFF if we had taken Aaron Rogers. I remember at around pick 12 when DJ was on the board and the Chargers didn't take them. I was thinking, OMFG he's still there! This can't be! Pick 13, 14 when Carolina was on the board. There was a few routes they could go but they went with an LB and it WASN'T DJ!!! I was sitting there for the next fifteen minutes going... "OH MY GOD THIS IS GOING TO BE SO KICK ASS!"
I have never been happier about a draft pick in my whole life. I know in hindsight this is reeruned, but I seriously thought he could be the next Derrick Brooks. Maybe he still could be under the right situations (which aren't in KC ![]() |

And for the record a guy by the name of Jared Allen was drafted under the Vermeil regime... a guy who could have been a cornerstone for the Chiefs rebuilding efforts on defense... a guy who Herm/Dictator Carl traded away in 2008. |

We were the only team in college or pros that Dick Vermiel didnt take to the championship game that he coached. He was a great coach. GREAT |

But the push to win now and his complete inability to draft--and, yes, Grandpa was running the show almost entirely when he was in town, LJ aside--absolutely killed this franchise. This organization would likely be exponentially better off had DV never come to town. Funny that Herm gets the majority of the criticism around here. His plan to build a team was 100 percent correct. The problem was that he wasn't (and isn't) up to the challenge. |

He really didn't want to come out of retirement, but Carl talked him into it. All the blame, should rest squarely on Carl Peterson's shoulders, not DVs. |

His job was to win now. Plus, it's been 4 years since he's left. Plenty of time to rebuild had it been done properly.

Plenty of time? Sure, but we truly started rebuilding in '08 (thanks, Carl) and had a fantastic draft. The new regime and the new direction, however, undermined any of that potential progress, as we started over again. |

The Chiefs started mortgaging the future just to get Grandpa in the first place, giving up multiple day one picks. Anyone who was excited about this was being ridiculously shortsighted. The truth is, the owner never should have allowed CP to give up that kind of compensation for a coach. |

I hated his dumb ass when he was the Jets coach, and I sure as hell never wanted his dumb ass as the Chiefs coach. About the only person with less intelligence on the planet than Herman ****ing Edwards is you.
