3 years ago who would have thought Chief fans would be saying 'Carl Peterson, he's a real nice guy compared to Pioli."

It just comes across as if someone is feeding him a bunch of stories now that Haley has been canned. And based on his comment last week about "a conversation" he had with Haley during the season where Haley told him that his dad told him he "couldn't win" with Cassel, I wouldn't be shocked if he's getting a lot of this stuff fed to him by Haley... |

Let me know when he has a hold-out or calls out players in public.

What free agents should we have signed that weren't because Pioli created an environment they didn't want to be part of?
Same question goes for coaches. Same goes for our own free agents over the last couple years. We haven't lost anyone except for Shaun Smith to FA and we replaced him with Allen Bailey and Amon Gordon....both look to be just as good or better and Bailey was very impressive as just a n00b. Last year, given the circumstances, we had a pretty good FA period. Breaston Gaither McClain Gordon Could we have gotten more? Sure. Were there more than a handful of teams that improved their teams more than us in last years free agency? I dont really think so. I cant remember a player we passed on going on to having a good year. One things for sure, Pioli needs to have one hell of a solid draft to prove to some of us that the strength of this team the last two years (having solid drafts from top to bottom) was put in place because of him and not the guy running the show now in Chicago. |

One could also produce a convincing argument that letting Shaun Smith go ended up being the right move for the team.
Tyson Jackson played very well all year and Gilberry/Bailey are much younger and have an upside that is far greater than Shaun Smiths. |

How about depth at safety? How about a right tackle?

Every starting quality RT that was a free agent re-signed with their own team.
The only guy that had a chance to be a starting quality OT (that actually hit the open market) was Gaither and we took a gamble on him. As far as safety goes, I was a little surprised they didn't bring in Merriweather or the other guy NE cut...but the reasons for such showed themselves over the course of the season. Merriweather was hot garbage. There werent many people that knew more about them than Pioli and it showed to be the right decision. ... I think that, for the most part, Pioli has made good decisions regarding this roster but when your centerpiece is Matt Cassel nothing else matters. |
