We signed a ton of short term contracts to players who are good but not great.

If the goal is to put "butts in seats" than he's doing it all wrong. Signing big named FA is the way to go about it. Seriously who's going to sell more tickets? Brett Favre or Sean Smith?

Spin it however you want...
You are suggesting the Chiefs should have either torn the team apart and committed to a painful rebuild the year after a massive fan revolt. Or option B, because we invested in Alex Smith, we should be throwing money as if Smith is a guy who can carry a team to the Super Bowl on his back. I'm not a fan of either of those choices (and no, I'm not a blind Dorsey apologist. I've consistently been critical of his big offseason moves last year).

Also, it's hard to claim Hunt doesn't want to win big after he went over Peterson's head to give Herm license to commit to a rebuild, and then hired Pioli and told him he had time and patience to let him build the team his way.

We will likely get comp picks for Albert, Schwartz, and maybe both McCluster and Asamoah. We will likely get comped for losing a ton of free agents (mostly big contract free agents). At this rate, we might get 4 comp picks and some as high as the 3rd round.

Signing Jairus Byrd hurts our ability to win comp picks. Extending Smith, Houston, and Berry does not.

Not asking to make huge investments.

You don't trade 2 2nd round picks for a QB to regain respectability.
You trade late picks for that QB.
What the Chiefs are telling us is that winning in the regular season in their priority.

I thought Alex Smith had already regained his respect the previous two season.

you hear that?

That's the sound of the careers of Charles,DJ,Hali,Bowe ticking down to a end.

next year when we get all those comp picks we better think about using them to replace our best players because they are about done.

congrats on 'maintaining'

Wow. So we're already back to regretting the Smith trade? That didn't take long.
