While I was and am extremely happy with the 2008 draft, I'm of the opinion that Clark should have cleaned house immediately and begun a new era. Instead, he extended the era, which IMO, has only been further extended under Pioli. Clark's going to need to bust his ass to get this next move right. |

He was 2-2 with HC's, drafted some HOF players, and there was a chance to believe in him going against the grain and hiring an offensive guy in DV. It didn't work. We moved on. I honestly think when rebuilding the HC should get 3 years and the GM 4. Well, both have happened and we're seeing the same results as the day they got here. Time for the GM to leave as well...

That said, the time for Clark to cut the cord, IMO, was 2007. While CP had a phenomenal ten year run, his final ten years ruined any chance of a legacy in Kansas City. |

It took guts for Herm to do what he did. He could have played veterans and saved his job, but he instead committed to playing youth, even if that meant losing. Bad coach, but he put this team in a much better place. |

Pat Thomas
DuJuan Morgan Tyrone Brackenridge Weston Dacus Ricardo Colclough Will Franklin Brian Johnston Oliver Celestin Tommy Jackson There were probably more that were picked up and cut. That's just a cursory run through. We had tons of players we brought in that year.

The youth movement had some failures like Niswanger and Croyle. It also got Albert, Flowers, Carr, and others quality "young guy" reps. Most importantly, it cleaned up the cap and set the table for a GM to be successful. Herm helped KC immensely. Even if you don't like him as a coach. |

DaJuan Morgan was a third round draft choice in 2008. Franklin was a 4th, Johnston a 6th. Are you telling me that they should have been cut in training camp? ![]() Brackenridge was signed in 2006 and Dacus in 2007. You know, special teamers and developmental players. Every team needs them. Colclough was a former starter for the Steelers, Browns and Panthers. He was far from "young" during his 2008 stint. You're going to need to better than this to prove your point. |
