Let's keep it real here - the above is an opinion. Backed by considerable evidence it would seem, but an opinion nonetheless.

There's not much evidence to support this. We've cut several of those draft picks and they sat out there with nobody wanting to pick them up. The guys that did get picked up immediately were guys like Turk McBride, who immediately went to play for Gunther.

Of course it is. A very opinionated opinion at that.

:D

Well, we cut Pollard, who I did not include. We cut Turk who I felt could certainly be serviceable at a 4-3 player, more so at DT than DE.

The bottom line is that this team had invested heavily in 4-3 players, especially 4-3 defensive lineman and none of these guys had a chance to grow as players. You know as well as anyone that most defensive lineman take at least two years, if not three, to mature.

The Chiefs cut Turk after one.

My feeling is that if they had added a few linebackers, especially a Rey Maualuga and continued with the 4-3, this defense would be much better off now and in the future.

As it stands, we've got a long, long way to go before we even know what we have as a defense.

It was absolutely FOOLISH to spend THREE of the top draft picks in 2008 & 2009 on FIVE TECH PLAYERS. The Chiefs should have drafted Sanchez, Mauluga, offensive lineman and skill players in this past draft.

Instead, we're ****ED for at least two more years because the amount of holes on both defense and offense cannot be filled with even adequate players in the draft and free agency.

Tom Dimitroff got that part right.

Scott Pioli did not.



Bullshit. Bull-****ING-Shit.

The last three years DID NOT have to be meaning less. The Chiefs made the right decisions in the draft. A pass rushing defensive end opposite Jared Allen. A stud WR to help in the passing game. Two 4-3 DT/DE's. A franchise LT, a college super-stud DT, a stud CB, a very good CB (Carr), etc.

Pioli is the guy that said "**** this. We're going 3-4" and basically negated the past few years. Hali can't play OLB in a 3-4. Dorsey's not a 5 Tech. Brandon Albert has taken a HUGE step backwards. Dwayne Bowe looks like ****ing Derrick Alexander out there. Flowers and Carr are fine but BFD? Tyson Jackson should have NEVER been drafted with the #3 overall pick.

Pioli IGNORED this shit offensive line in free-agency and the draft and he continues to ignore it.

I'm not even TALKING about Herm or Peterson: This season's failures lie directly in the lap of one man: Scott Pioli.

PERIOD.
Feel Better?

Not really.

This is probably the most angry I've ever been as a Chiefs fan.

More so than the Tom Bettis days.

More so than the Wing T with Levy.

More so than with Mackovic and his firing.

Way more than Ganz.

More frustrated than 1997.

Just angry.

Reerun_KC 10-06-2009 12:05 PM
Dane, it just goes to show us as fans, that this franchise has never planned for the future.

Lets hope now that we have a new GM, we are planning for the future. Regardless of what has happened in the darkest of Chiefs years, we might be working towards a goal..

Now you are feeling what I have felt the Day Herm was hired....

Hell after beeing drug through the depths of hell recently with the Chiefs. To me and my opinion, I feel we have the guys in place to make this better...

Yes it seems bleak, but never as hopeless as it was with Carl and Herm.

And that continues to this day.

Instead of drafting a young QB, linebackers and offensive lineman, which were positions of dire need, they instead traded for a 27 year-old that played in 15 games in 7 years, signed a 33 year old POS guard and signed a couple of scrubs and a couple of statues to play linebacker.

No foresight, no future, no forward thinking.

I just don't see it.

Well, that's complete nonsense. NO ONE knew what would happen in Kansas City after Herm was hired. He's taken 3 teams out of 5 to the playoffs and still managed to take the Chiefs to the playoffs in his first year even though he lost his starting QB and starting left tackle immediately.

If you want to blame anyone, blame Carl Peterson for allowing this franchise to piss away draft choices for aging players and coaches that brought nothing in the long or short run. They pissed away 35 draft choices over that five year period.

To date, I disagree. Haley seems overworked and overmatched and Pioli's personnel moves leave a considerable amount to be desired.

Do you think there's even ONE team in the NFL that would trade their 2009 draft with the Chiefs?

LMAO

I disagree.

It feels exactly the same. Although I liked the 2008 draft much more than the 2009 draft.

'Hamas' Jenkins 10-06-2009 02:15 PM
Herm was a terrible game day coach, and too much of a slackass in practice. But he had the right idea on how to build a team.

I really wish that we could have used Herm's approach to team building with DV's practice habits, and had a decent talent evaluator with a long term plan

Considering we were deficient in two of the three phases for the last 20 years, with no planning for the future, it's no ****ing doubt that we are as bad as we are.

Gun was awful at all three and had no foresight
Vermeil was a decent game day coach, a great practice coach, and terrible at talent, and he was shortsighted
Marty was a mediocre game day coach (awful in the clutch), one of the best practice coaches of all time, and a poor evaluator of talent with middling foresight.
Herm was a terrible gameday coach, a terrible practice coach, and a mediocre talent evaluator with great foresight.

The first-quarter season stats from 2008 are being skewed big time by that game against Denver.

I do not expect this team to get beat 34-0 at any point this year. Nor do I expect a 34-10 loss at home.

Does anyone remember 7 carries, 2 yards for LJ last year in Carolina? I haven't forgotten. I do not expect to see that level if incompetency from this staff.
Matt Cassel. 14-18 for 90 yards passing. Hmmm, yeah no incompetence on this staff.

Anyone from the New York area, or any Jet fan could tell you what was going to happen with Herm. And it did happen.

If Dick Curl were still the QB coach, we'd never hear the end of it from Reerun.

What, that he'd coach a team to the playoffs after losing his franchise left tackle in training camp and his starter on opening day?

Wow, what a bunch of fooking New Yawk geniouses!

Agree the qb killing rrpp herm was familiar to anyone in ny getting jets games. He was fun to watch at press conferences when he WASN'T YOUR coach.

Trust your eyes. Trust you instincts. Really....what the HELL do you think???
