Where to the Chiefs go from here? What are their strengths and weaknesses?

Woodrow · 09-15-2000, 08:10 AM

I see alot of different views on why the Chiefs are not doing well. I have a few opinions, of course these are only my views and are suspect.

1. Gun has been, for most of his career, a defensive type coach. Conclusion: Go with your strength.

2. Gun is an emotional type coach. Conclusion: In an area where strength is necessary emotions should be stiffled. I'm sorry to say, not head coach material. (Shotenheimer was strong and hard and won a lot of games until he became emotional.)

3. Jimmy Raye may be a great coordinator, maybe not. Can he call plays effectively? Will his plays work in the NFL? Conclusion: Turn over all offensive calls to Jimmy, this will either prove or disprove the ability of the man. (Refer to #1)

4. Does Elvis have the tools to be a QB in the NFL? Does Elvis have the intelligence to be a QB in the NFL? Conclusion: (The gospel according to Tom) No! Mechanically he is fit, mentally I feel that he is not. This can be proven by the actions over the past few years. He has grown, but he still does not have the intellectual skills needed to throw off defenses.

5. KC needs to clean house after this season and make a new start, especially if the team goes less than .500.

I am no expert in football, I feel I do know alot about human nature. Some of us tend to be stubborn and set in our ways, Gun and Elvis both seem to fall into that category.

Remember Joe Delaney?
Some of us do and are acting on our belief that he was a hero.
This is a bandwagon that all are invited to jump on!!!
