Plus it's gonna be even longer for us to get our new GM's "players" right? 3 more years of setting up the new GM's style, brand on the team, culture, blah blah.

Man I'm tired of waiting on this team to do something in January. I really hope Clark picks the right ****ing guy this time around.

The first questions Clark should ask the new GM should be:

1. Will you draft a first round QB?
2. Are you subject to changes if need be or gambles to make the team better?
3. Do you hate the Patriots as much as we all do?

If Geno is the real deal, there aren't many pieces to replace.

2014 we're in the post-season.

Yes, other teams have done it, but they are not in the same group as the Chiefs. KC is in with the likes of Cleveland, the Bengals, and other sad sack wrecks.

If he is flip flopping for a new GM by January/February then Bowe is gone. If he keeps Pioli then Bowe is also gone.

There is a really high chance of no Bowe, unless he is tagged again. and if Bowe gets tagged again I am sure he will not like that.


also to even have a shot at Geno I believe Pioli has to go. Scott Pioli drafting Geno Smith? Pioli putting his ego and Pats Tree bullshit aside to do something different? No way that happens.

1st of all, Duh.

Secondly, FA doesn't begin until March.

that doesn't give you much time to work out a new deal, especially if the other side is not budging.

example Brandon Carr. They had to make a jump on Routt in February because Pioli knew his fears come March was Brandon Carr testing FA and not budging on any deal from Piolis end.

The same will happen with at least one of Bowe, Dorsey, Albert, if not two of them. Only one tag to go around and as it stands right now Pioli has NO leverage to get any of these guys to sign long term, unless he severely overpays them. And he's not doing that.

I could get a deal done with Bowe in 24 hours if I had the power to do so. It's not difficult. It's just stubborn GMs being stubborn assholes in their stubbornness and stubborn stubbornity.
