What we know for a fact is that this past off-season was an impressive disaster, so we're pretty safe to make a few assumptions about how we reached this point.

The same offseason that if you questioned what they were doing while it was happening you were ripped a new one.

As far as the players that were brought in I think those guys were brought in to build the roster from the bottom up with a small hope of finding a diamond in the rough. So to look at that process as some kind of fail because the talent wasn't majorly overhauled is a little over the top IMO. I'm not down on Pioli for doing things his way. He should try to build this team the way he sees fit. We all arm chair evaluate some of his moves as good or bad and that's fine. But to not see what he's trying to do is the equivalent to burying ones head in the sand. Will Pioli's way get us what we want? I don't know but I can't blame him for the way he's started his rein in KC.

No, I'm not talking about a handful of players. More than a handful of players from the last several draft classes were around in May when the team actually got them on the field for the first time and had a hands on opportunity to coach and evaluate them.

Pioli didn't "stand pat."

He turned over 65 percent of the roster.

Well I see these vet leaders have really made a difference.

The GM gets a pass because the Owner doesn't want to spend money - yet we gave Zach Thomas $1M to ride a stationary bike for 3 weeks.

As why they brought in some of these older players was because many "experts" on here and around the NFL stated that what Herm did was wrong putting all these young players on a team with little or no veteran leadership. Apparently they believed the same thing so they brought in some of these guys to show these young guys how to prepare, watch tape correctly, and how to do the day to day things correctly to be a better NFL player. I think the reason why some of the older guys are still playing is because the young guys still aren't cutting it.

Just my .02 cents.
