Chiefs ***Official Pioli Media Tour Thread*** - Page 14

Micjones · 08:34 AM

Pioli's slated for interviews today with both the Star and 610 Sports.

The Star interview is around Noon.
He'll talk with "The Big Show" sometime after 3.

Thoughts on what we'll get from him?
Will the KC media hold his feet to the fire?

Most of us will be at work and won't have access to the live interviews.
Post the gems in this thread, please.

Two .500 football teams.

You only get a few...we whiffed on acquiring any competition whatsoever, didn't even bring in a capable backup....Scott is ultra ****ing fail.

Actually people do overstate the number of alternatives to Cassel he's had.
That colors people's perception of him.

I'm not apologizing for Pioli here, but I do think we should have some perspective.

He is in complete control imo.

If that's the case, then he's in full CYA mode.

You think his job is safe. But you think he decided, without input from Clark, to do all these interviews?

Think about that for a minute.

Pioli is acting like there was NOTHING better out there. He's dead wrong. There have been plenty of posts about the number of alternatives. Even if you eliminate certain ones.....we still had a shot at Andy Dalton and Josh Freeman. Both have done more (even if they lack consistency) than Cassel has ever done.

Or do what other teams do. Trade up and get someone?

Brock · 10-17-2012, 10:25 AM

I'm amazed how other teams can seemingly find an endless supply of QBs to develop, use, trade for draft picks, etc. Meanwhile, Chiefs fans make excuses for why Pioli can't even come up with one decent backup.

Weeden has been throwing to Josh Gordon and Greg Little.

We weren't taking Freeman at #3. In 2009, No one would have and no one did.

We weren't taking Dalton. Cassel had just made the pro bowl and we won the west.

I can't ever blame Pioli for KC not having a QB better than Cassel. I would have liked to have gotten Jason Campbell but he obviously didn't want to come. Same for Manning.

Making a trade is impossible. Especially during the draft. Nobody does that!

Kill yourself.

We took a 3-4 DE that sucks at his job at #3. We could have damn sure taken a QB there.

He tried hard to trade back in 2009. It was well documented. We did trade back in 2011. Where are you coming from?

What about the other teams picking in the top 10 in 2009? Did any of them need QBs? You really have no argument.
