We'll see another big roster purge this offseason and a real run at players in FA and some more trading before the draft to load up on picks. I think for right now Pioli is simply keeping bodies on the roster that he is familiar with for comfort reasons only. I don't think in any way shape or form they will continue this after this season.
This team is probably shorter on talent than any team in the league. I think this season is nothing more than a throw away while Haley learns some HC ropes and Pioli does more scouting (I remember hearing a while back he himself was already out visiting and scouting college players). It's very possible that this team won't even be very competitive next season as well. When you've had 20+ years of crappy GM duties and bad drafting it's not an easy fix. I think personally, the Vermiel years were FAR worse from a drafting standpoint than the Herm years and IMO Vermiel set this franchise back more than anyone from a drafting standpoint. Or at least, he and Carl did during the years Vermiel was the HC.

Good grief. A big roster purge? As has been pointed out, they turned 60% of the roster over THIS season. If they have to do it again, that says a lot about their talent evaluation. You think our GM is making moves not for the better of the franchise, but to stay in his comfort zone? And you're OK with that? Seriously? I guess we should just expect another 5 years or more before we find the "Right 53".
And I'm so glad we got to have an entire throw away season to help out our head coach. It's nice that the Chiefs have refunded money and reduced ticket prices because it's an official "Throw away season". They reduced player and coach salaries too right? Since the season doesn't count?
I'm amazed at what Chiefs fans will justify for this franchise.... Carl Peterson created an entire fan base of martyrs.
