Maybe it's the water in KC then because he was pretty good at his job before he was hired by the Chiefs. I think his body of work before he was hired by the Chiefs says more than what has transpired since. What happens the next couple of years will say something though.

WE WILL NOT OVER PAY FOR FREE AGENTS! EVER! IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE PATRIOT WAY

Quote:

The Patriots have reached an agreement in principle with former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Adalius Thomas, among the premier players in the unrestricted free agent pool, and the seven-year veteran appears to be a perfect fit for coach Bill Belichick's trademark 3-4 defensive scheme.

But Thomas, who played for Belichick in the Pro Bowl last month, almost certainly will be one of the highest-paid players in free agency. Rated by ESPN.com as the No. 2 unrestricted player available, Thomas figures to land guarantees totaling at least $15 million. There is speculation the contract will average $10 million per year.

NE has cash and it's saved them because their recent drafts have sucked the serious cock.

they basically had a boatload of cash on his lawn at 12:01 and really, some of the same "dumb" arguments would be shouted about Pioli if he had signed a center for 8 million/yr. Dont say that isnt accurate, because it is. Just because you need a car and have 20k, doesnt mean you spent 20k on a car worth 10-12k.

It really doesn't matter what I say.
I still have faith in Pioli.
I don't think he has screwed up the way you guys do.
If that makes me an idiot, so be it.
Only time will tell who is wrong or right.

Mecca 12-16-2009 01:38 PM

I'm fine with spending money when it's there to spend...especially when you might be about to enter an uncapped year and the league in general being uncapped.

By the time the team is really good his contract is one that could easily come off the books.

So we should demote Pioli and bring in the Hoodie's man sack. Is that what you're advocating?

I don't think that patience and logical talent acquisition are mutually exclusive.

As is yours.

"Pioli ****ed up", and "you are and idiot" can only be said so many times, in so many ways.

DeezNutz 12-16-2009 01:42 PM

Ok, so Pioli has taken a lot of heat from some of the posters in this thread, but let's ask a more specific question to those whose faith is still unwavering:

What has Pioli done well? What are his successes in KC thus far? Please be specific.

Obviously paid big dividends for the Rams. I feel like they could have addressed the o line more then the minimal they did but come on man.
