USA Today predicts Chiefs at 4-12 for 2014
I could see it happening but really 6-8 wins seems pretty doable.
AFC West Broncos 12-4 (2): Could be better than 2013 team even if wins and offensive output dip. But schedule is murderous. Chargers 8-8: Last year's schedule allowed late-season charge. This year's could easily produce late-season slide. Chiefs 4-12: Tight salary cap meant crippling free agent defections, and they didn't sufficiently reload in draft. Raiders 3-13: Best thing influx of over-the-hill vets can do is change culture. Carr, Mack promise brighter days ahead. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...colts/9767615/ |

Their defense fell off the map after the 1st half of the Charger game when Hali and Houston went down. They didn't seem to recover for the rest of the season. It was the first time, that I knew of, where they played a 1st string QB and they crumbled. Their failing defense was sadly evident during their playoff collapse to Colts in the playoffs. This is an important year for the Chiefs. 4-12 doesn't seem that outlandish. |

If KC goes 4-12 and let Smith walk, they wouldn't draft a QB. They'll take the best defensive player available. WAG here, but I'd guess the likelihood would be a safety to replace Berry, another 3-4 OLB, or a pass-rushing capable ILB in that order.
They'd sign a FA like Jason Campbell, Dan Orlovsky or Hoyer (assuming he doesn't light the AFC North on fire) and let said placeholder QB soak up damage until Murray or Bray is ready.

You mean when we had Todd Haley and Romeo Crennel as our coaches, Matt Cassel as our QB, and Scott Pioli as the GM?

The only thing that's wrong with me is I take sadistic delight in seeing the Chiefs smash the heads of retread quarterbacks against the wall until they bleed out.
I could sit here and have hope that the heads of retread quarterbacks will one day destroy the wall, but I know it will never fall. So I'm going to be a sadist about it and laugh with maniacal glee. One day we'll smash a franchise quarterback's head against that wall, and it will shatter in one blow. I will then laugh with maniacal glee as our opponents bleed out. These are dark times. But you can find joy in them. Not all who wander are lost. |

Mariota? Hundley? Winston?
Who will be the Chiefs first franchise QB since Len Dawson? |
