Add to the list new coaching staff, new front office, and new owner. I am not particular what order they come! :cuss:

Not all of those moves panned out. But you pretty much have no argument if you're suggesting that the Chiefs haven't given lots of opportunities for young players to win jobs, and haven't pushed players who underachieve out of the starting lineup (when there's a halfway adequate replacement for him).

Richardson isn't starting because he's not very good. If you think that's dumb, perhaps you should ask why a left tackle from a big-time football program fell all the way to the 6th round. There are 31 other teams that agree that the guy isn't very good.

I'd love a superstar.

But we always draft the Molly Shannon type and not the Polamalu type...

That's true, but you can't do it without any help. The safeties have a lot of field to cover as is. It doesn't help when a QB has all day for WRs to explode deep and it doesn't help when the safeties are doing the job that the front 7 should be doing.

Well they also refuse to play Herb Taylor....

I think the Chiefs refuse to play anyone else on the line because they seem to think the same guys playing together is more important than benching a dude for blowing.

Mays will never be a superstar. And then you'll probably make embarrassing excuses for him and his "scheme discipline," too.

How many times have you seen Mays play...honest question.

At Clemson? He was a LT there.

Ah cool, why don't you argue with me about the Hali Cromartie thing some more too and tell me how wrong I was...

None.

Honest answer.

You were right. I thought he played RG at Clemson, but when I looked it up after I made the post, I found out that I was wrong, so that's why I tried to withdraw my previous comment.

That may be so, but they're rotating him in for snaps at RT. Richardson isn't even sniffing the field. There's probably a reason for that.

Sean Taylor also ended being one of the best safeties in the league before he died. He was playing superbly his last year.

Yet, he was right about Woodson, where you did believe Woodson was a 1st round player.

Just sayin....
