Joe Posnanski: big SI Scott Pioli feature
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vau...10/1/index.htm

Story broken up amongst 8 pages, so I'm not going to copy/paste the full text here.

Figured this would be of interest to us all here.

I'm a believer in Pioli and his way of doing things.
The coaches are also improving. Cassel and Bowe are being coached up big time and it shows.

Dam, I'm so stoked we got tickets for the DUNGVER game...woot woot

I'll be shocked if McGimmick produces 100 yards of total offense in a game this year.
Give me an f'ing break. Charles is a running back and no one expects mccluster to be charles. Why are you so obsessed with yardage? Know how many 100 yd games harvin had his rookie year? 1. Know how many reggie bush had in 2009? None. Know how many welker has had minus moss? None.

The past two weeks, the underneath checkdown has been there. In arizona, we were horrible at 3rd and long and often checked down. They need mccluster. I'd like to se a repeat of the jacksonville performance where he converted on several key third downs. If his role for 2010 is to help us improve us on third down, or to open opportunities for innocvative playcalling that's okay. If his role is a harvin or bush role its an important role, even if its not going to get you 1000 yards.

Uh, one of those "worst teams in the NFL" was in first place in their division. Yes, that division is the weakest in the NFL, but to say that Seattle is one of the worst teams in the NFL is a pretty lame attempt to discredit the way the Chiefs dominated them.

He can't even do it. Most of the players with 2nd round grades haven't aren't impact players at all. GoChiefs is talking out of his ass.

Eh, he tries to be contrarian but people who been here awhile see through it and don't give it much play.

wait...

did someone just say Pioli's 2nd draft looks like a C+??!?

hahahahaha

Ok...

Berry has played just about every snap...McCluster was having a solid year before injury...Arenas handles return duties and plays a pretty good nickel and has had a nice blitz or two on the year...Moeaki has played very well for a rookie all season long...Asomoah has filled in nicely on the line...and Lewis has been a starting safety when healthy...

BUT YEAH

C+!

Jesus CHRIST GoChiefs is a damn attention whore moron this year.

oh and our 2009 draft has 22 TD's, 4 INT's and is a part of the culture change that has us at 7-4 and 1st place in the AFC West...

but hey...

if you guys want me to, once again, post some of your FAVORITE TEAM'S DRAFTS from 2009...I will. You guys want to see the Ravens draft again? The Packers? Who? The Bengals? The Jets?

I'll tell you right now the 2009 draft was brutal...and we came out of it with Matt Cassel, Tyson Jackson, Jake O'Connell and Ryan Succop...with a few other stiffs like Donald Washington (a mecca favorite) who will probably never pan out...

So...if Matt Cassel continues leading this team to wins and division titles and keeps taking giant steps forward like he has this season...

I hate to say it DUMB****S...but our 2009 draft would be categorized as EPIC WIN...

which, once again, would make you drafturbator fools look like total idiots...(but what's new?)

but hey! HAMAS WANTED MACLIN AT #3! YEP! MACLIN! WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER REACH THAN DHB AT #7! BUT WHAT AN EASY THING TO DO! CALL FOR A GUY WHO HAS ALREADY PLAYED A YEAR AND THEN TELL EVERYONE HOW GREAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF WE TOOK HIM AT #3! YEAH HAMAS! JIMMY CLAUSEN AT #1 FOR LIFE! V! GHOLST! 4 LYFE!

I think that Pioli should be commended for separating the wheat from the chaff of the old regime, but almost all of the impact talent was already in place.

You could make a case for Flowers, DJ, Bowe, Hali, and Charles all making the pro bowl this year.

Top that off with Albert, Waters, and Carr as solid starters and Cox, Richardson, Studebaker, Williams, and even McGraw as rotational players, and the cupboard wasn't nearly as bare as many thought.
I agree, the thing I often question is how productive would these guys be with the old coaching staff? I think coaching has a HUGE part to do with the turnaround. Herm seemed to believe in just throwing the young guys out there and letting them learn by playing. I don't know that there was a lot of teaching going on.

In my opinion, Pioli's greatest accomplishment so far is in the Head Coach he chose and the coaching staff he's managed to acquire due to past relationships.

Jesus CHRIST GoChiefs is a damn attention whore moron this year.

GoChiefs is just trying to regurgitate all of the shit that Hamas is spewing. He's just trying to be associated with that group of posters, but he has no real grasp of what they're even saying.

So in turn, his posts just come out as a bunch of misconstrued garbage. It's kinda funny actually.

It's like a 10 year old boy who heard his daddy talking politics and then tries to mimic what he heard to his friends.

dude GoChiefs is what he is...he's the biggest flip flopper I've ever seen...he tries to go against the grain as much as possible and even when he's proven wrong, knows he's wrong...he'll keep on going just to get that attention he used to miss out on...

I'm glad I don't think like that...I'm glad I'm an objective person who cheers for what I see...rather than for my "board rep"...

I have been one of the BIGGEST Cassel bashers on the board and off the board all year long...I hated him. Loathed him...told all of my friends (who don't care) all about it...

but even I can eat my crow on this one...because the dude has heart...he wants to be great...he's a leader...and he's turned a corner.

Hence the reason I started that thread where I predicted last week would be his week...the dude has arrived...and we have a QB.

Everyone of us should be thanking and praising Clark for hiring this guy.

I'll have to eat crow also if Cassel turns out to be good. But it will be hilarious to see all the drafturbators reactions. They've been wrong about just about every quarterback the past couple years. Saying Jay Cutler is a franchise qb, saying Freeman would be a bust, saying Bradford would be a bust, saying Sanchez will be a franchise qb(he's not so far but he could be I'll admit), and that Clausen should be a #1 pick.

So it wouldn't shock me if they were wrong about cassel either. But to their credit, I will have been wrong also. Eh atleast I wasn't loud and douchey about it.
