Oh yeah, the offensive decline had nothing to do with losing Willie Roaf and Will Shields. Nothing to do with losing Eddie Kennison and Trent Green. All due to age.
The Chiefs' offense went from first to worst because during the Vermeil era, Carl Peterson let our veterans go old and did NOTHING to bring in young talent to replace him. So when Herm takes over, he is expected to win with Jordan Black instead of Roaf. Chris Terry instead of Tait. Etc....
And let's not forget that for as much shit as Herm got for being an offensive trainwrecker, he was also the guy who made a really shitty offense somehow work by letting Chan Gailey run a very unHermlike spread offense.
