Does anyone think KC will be a contender in 2008?
-The possibility of 2 new coordinators (offense and special teams) and the time it will take to learn a new system.
- Needed upgrades on offense at 3/5 of the OL, WR, FB. - Needed upgrades on defense at both CB spots, perhaps SS, OLB, a pass rushing DE. I know Herm is supposedly great at the draft, but right now the only production is from 1 of the draft picks. Does anyone think KC can fill all those holes quickly and efficiently? |

I think if 80% of the upgrades you posted are made, we can win the AFC Worst.

No. But I do like the general direction of the team since Herm took over. We are getting younger, our drafts have been good, etc. You just can't do it all at once.

This team has a lot of holes to fill, It would be tough to get the O-line fixed in one year. IMHO this has been one of the biggest dissapointments that the Front office failed to address. Their failure to plan and draft/acquire replacements for an O-line that everybody knew was aging was a mistake that has been overshadowed only by their failure to acquire adequate D-tackles during the DV years.
The Corner situation is the next big problem. Ty Law hit the wall last year. I don't think Sapp is the answer. Neither he nor Brackenridge can beat out Ty Law for the starting spot. And the way Law is playing that is just pathetic |

LOL ... I have no faith in Herm as a HC. A very good talent scout, HC he is not.

Pollard - Several blocked kicks on ST. Page- Several picks. Bowe - stud. Hali - Good DE. DTs/DE - Not great but has made a bad group decent. Now, Will this team be a contender in 2008? So much of it depends on Brodie Croyle. I think they'll fix the O-line issues. |

They should be by 2009. Next year they have a bunch of holes to plug. 2 more offseasons and we better go at least deep into the playoffs and be a young enough team to continue doing so.

I think we will be serious contenders to win the afc west next year, and then in 2009 we should be contenders in AFC
