So, how does everyone feel about the Reid era so far?

[BradBigglestein]

I'm an Eagles fan and I've been posted now and again. Reid was a huge part of the Eagles for so long, so I will be heavily following the Chiefs going forward. More out of curiosity than anything.

So the NFL Draft is almost here, and I'm curious as to what everyone thinks about the Reid era in KC so far and what moves the new regime has done under Reid.

they better come out of the draft looking like Emma Stone and not Sandra Oh (who might be the ugliest woman on the pl anet). If not, that's strike 2.

if they come out of the draft w/out a potential QBOTF, ten that's 3.

Better be a redhead emma stone.. ****a blonde

[Dayze]

I concur. I almost don't even recognize her as a blonde.


Good lord I find her so yummy.

Alex Smith.

The Alex Smith debacle killed all the warm and fuzzies I had when we first brought him and Dorsey on.

2 very high 2nd round picks for a guy that probably would've been cut. If we don't bring in a prospect QB we can develop, preferably, but not necessarily, Geno - then **** em.

Pretty much how I feel as well. I'd like to add that I do like how active they were in free agency from the start.

I'm good so far, not great.

Too much to pay for Alex Smith, but if they can get out of #1 to recoup the cost that's a big win. NOBODY sees a legit QBOTF in this draft folks, but i'm in the camp we definitely need to try for a potential guy in 2nd or 3rd (this assumes we can move out of #1).

Most of the other FA moves are positive, not spectacular. Filled and upgraded most every hole, and nobody seriously overpaid, so that's solid!

so far the major change for the good is that the front office is now making the players happy. Getting Bowe signed to a deal won the whole team over.

Well, I'm not a Chiefs fan, but I want to see Andy Reid do well. I've never disliked him.

The Eagles hired the guy I really wanted in Chip Kelly and I'm extremely excited for what he will bring. But Reid was a big part of my life as an Eagles fan. 14 years is a really long time to be a coach in sports. Young teens became adults and got married during the time he coached.

If the Chiefs make it to a Superbowl I will root for Andy Reid unless it is against the Eagles :P

Like who?

meh ... talent level looks remarkably like it did last year.


The cornerback position is the only place where i see any significant improvement.


Cross your fingers and hope that coaching makes a big difference

I'm liking the new staff. I like that they want to start winning now, they went out and invested.

I think Alex Smith was by far the best option and every day branden albert opens his mouth, this staff looks sharper.

I would like Geno because he is the best QB in this draft, but I'm okay with them going with another QB later in this draft -- to me, the important move is to get QB's in here now so that the young QB's can begin growing in this offense and competing for the starting QB position asap.

I'm very happy they let the worst starter on this roster walk -- Glenn Dorsey has impeded this team for years.

I like the CB moves very much -- the more smith's on this roster, the better

Right now, I grade the new staff at a solid "B" and I expect this team to win at least 9 games 2013.

How are you able to start a thread?

[BradBigglestein]

There is a button on the top of the page that said "new thread" and I clicked it.

This all the way. They totaly screwed up and did it so hard that it will cost them for years. They paid so much for Alex that they have to play him regardless if he makes them look like fools or not. They will win enough games now that they will be out of reach of an impact QB and since they traded their last chance to get one (next years high 2nd) they won't be able to move up. They boxed themselves in. Realy bad move. Not impressed at all. I expected them to do something bold and creative not Marty and safe. This "We can't draft a QB because there is no Andrew Luck and RG3" idea is a cop out. There rarely are guys like that in one draft.

Same lame moves as have been made for the last 30 years will bring the same lame results.... Blowouts if they make a playoff game.
