That 10-6 team was a good team. The reason they didn't make the playoffs that year is because the AFC was an incredibly competitve conference that year. that 10-6 team even though they didn't make the playoffs was just as good as a playoff team. Even despite not accomplish the main goal.

Ok so you're gonna say the starting Qb wasn't on that 9-7 team. Fine. I'll turn around and say Damon Huard played just as well as Trent Green when he was hurt if not better. Ok Roaf wasn't there and that a bit.

Do I think this team would win 7 games under Vermeil. absolutely. I'll take a Dick Vermeil squad over a Herm Edwards squad anyday. Ok Vermeil may not have won the bowl, but at least his teams executed, were disciplined and played an exciting brand of football. Ok Vermeil would not give you 13-3 seasons ever year, but at least his teams made progress. They went from 6-10, to 8-8 to 13-3. In 3 seasons he went from 6-10 to 13-3. I'll give the man some credit and I do miss him over this ass clown.

You need to look at player development yes you are right. And we had very good player development under Vermeil. that's all in part because he knows and has good understanding on how to work and deal with players. thats what makes him a good coach.

Ok this team has a lot of rookies fine. but all I want to get at is, these rookies aren't going to flourish properly when the coaching staff in front of them stinks. player development and good coaching have a lot to do with the progress of a player. They go hand in hand.

You don't look at the wins and losses? I'd love for you to tell that to some NFL teams. they'd laugh in your face.

Ha ha.

some of you guys need to switch to decaf, and not take the internet so seriously

I dont know about all that player development under DV, yes DV is miles ahead of Herm in terms of coaching... But DV brought in players that fit his scheme..

Hell do you remember we started the season with T-rich as running back before PH blew up in Washington?

What? Really? I thought Chiefsplanet was the be all to end all of Chiefs fandom?

I think alot of dogs get kicked and people hurt from this board.. No way you can blow up on here and not let if effect your personal life...

Your right, some people have serious angry issues....

Let preface my post here by first saying that, like you, Warpath, jsp, and others, that I agree that the premise of this thread is absolutely ****ing ridiculous.

However, with better coaching, at least along the D-Line, I think we would see a little more cosistency from Tank and Turk, rather than just flashes, and that that we would see more flashes from Dorsey.

I do think that Gibbs is doing a pretty damn good job with the secondary, but the coaching everywhere else on the defense leaves a lot to be desired.

As to Kawika, yes, he was far from being one of the best players on this team, and he isn't ever going to be a great LB, but he did produce far more consistently for a team with a better staff.

DV was just as stubborn when it came to our weaknesses.

He'd punt (and EVERYONE WATCHING in and outside the stadium knew the defense couldn't hold.) By golly, he wasn't about to quit believing in them though. Not after 4 or 44 games.

The sad, solitary, indisputable fact is that any HC after Marty pales in accomplishment to Marty. Perhaps the one HC willing to dare a face off with the King.

And before you start this Marty-lover BS to me it's more about the quest to conquer turning into the ability to over-achieve and then a slow slide into complete suck and embarassment.

There are a ton of things I love about both DV and Gun but they DIDN'T PRODUCE. They're gone, but somehow the guy that hired them keeps hanging on in the shadows like some combination of the Emperor from Star Wars and an intestinal parasitic worm...

I'm sorry?

Dick developed players?

Name 5.

I agree, cant argue that....

Marty is still a tool... LMAO

That was a good speech Rausch.

The Chiefs have a third year first rounder, a 2nd year 2nd rounder, 2nd year third rounder and first year top 5 pick on the DL. They are underachieving. The starters still don't have a single sack do they?

Tank has progressed from being invisible to showing an occassional flash. McBride has progressed from being invisible to being completely irrelevant.

Right now Taylor can't unseat McIntosh. That's a gross coaching error.

I'll go as far to say that Cottam, Morgan and Charles were good value picks, but poor choices for this team at this particular time.

Green was a better player in KC, Waters, Kennison was thought of as a lost cause, Hall, Allen, Colquitt.

Tip me, the waitress has big tits and does fine all by herself...

done...
