John Dorsey agrees to be the Chiefs next GM

[Hammock Parties]

The excitement around Pioli was just:

1. We fired Carl.

2. We replaced him with someone who seems smart.

This is different.

We know these guys know how to win. 100 percent. This isn't a "potential" home run.

Clark hit a home run. Now it's just a question of is it a solo shot or a grand slam.

What's interesting is that even early Pioli ballwashers like myself (embarrasingly, admittingly) hated a lot of his early decisions. But we supported Pioli out of faith that he knew what he was doing.

This isn't the same. Reid is making a lot of really good moves that fit what we want. The only move we're sort of neutral about is the Sutton hire, but there's potential for that to be a good hire too.

Kudos! These guys as Andy says" Check their EGOs at the door". Take notes Egoli. They will get this done. Will we win a Super Bowl? Probably not with Manning and Brady in the way. Flacco is coming into his own too. Will we win a playoff game? no doubt!

I honestly thought the Chiefs were finally as emotionally dead to me as the Cubs. Now I have the slightest bit of hope that this team will actually be fun to follow again.

Build a team, make a run. I don't care if its Alfred e Newman. This is what I want.

Exceptionally specific.

Hot diggity! This is shaping up to be the best offseason in a very long time!

[Mother****erJones]

Best HC on the market, best personnel man on the market. Got both. Clark is batting to perfection. Now lets see how these QBs do in senior bowl, combine and pro days

[BossChief]

I'm thoroughly convinced we will take Geno Smith with the top pick to finish off the trifecta of awesome moves.

1) He is similar in many ways to Aaron Rodgers and Donovan McNabb...the two chosen quarterbacks of Dorsey and Reid.

2) Andy Reid is a pass first coach and we have no quarterback that can fit his requirements as a passing team.

3) Guys like Andy Reid and John Dorsey don't come to a team like KC and turn down other offers unless they think they can win here. Beings that both guys understand the vast importance of QB in todays NFL...neither came here to trade for a guy like Alex Smith.

4) Clark went out and got the top QB coaches available...he wants a QB.

Chiefzilla, I like you a lot but why is it whenever I see you post stuff it's about ****ing bullshit that doesn't matter like Todd Haley or Pioli's scouts?

Your talents could be put to far better use.

After more than four years of reading his verbose ****ing bullshit, I strongly disagree.

I apologize for the thread swerve. I've said my peace on both fronts (have stopped responding to Haley stuff, even though I'm still being insulted and egged on in other threads).

On the scouting front... look, all I'm saying is that 4 years ago Pioli blew up our scouting network four years ago. Turns out, we fired some really good scouts. I'm just saying... let's not overreact and assume we have no talent in our scouting organization. I bring these things up because just because we have a new organization in place, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to learn from mistakes we made in the past.

Normally, I'd agree. However, the curent scouts have failed to bring in anyone exceptional sans Houston and Berry. You can make an argument for the old regime but for this one, I'm not so sure.

Well, keep in mind that Chuck Cook was scouting director that headed up some really horrible drafts under Lynn Stiles and Carl Peterson. Amazing how much better those sames scouts looked when they started providing information to a good leader who knew what to do with it. Scouts are only as good as the head personnel guys who know what to do with that information. It's very possible the scouts fed good scouting information to a incompetent boobs who had no concept of how to use that information.

I bet a lot of these scouts look a lot better when Dorsey gives them direction on who to scout, and makes better decisions based on information the scouts give him.

I am with you. Lets not forget that new England's QB coach nearly quit because Belichick and Pioli continued to ignore his pleas (literally standing on a chair) to draft this kid out of Michigan named Brady. He begged them to draft him starting in round two and they ignored the guy for five rounds.
