But your solution to a bad cap and aging stars is 2-14. Why don't you endorse that with the 2014 season?

To be fair, he endorsed the plan for 2014 without any certainty of how that season turned out.

He would still be backing that plan even if it had turned out 2-14.

I am one of those that he gets a ton of shit from, but he deserves credit when he gets it right.

Only two CP members seem to know me that well, luv and DMAC (possibly Flop as well), and I think they'd both say I'm relatively sweet.

But he spent day upon days telling me that draft position is important (it's not. Good teams don't draft high). Why isn't he raging about all the "meaningless wins" 2014 brought along?

I'm just flipping him shit for throwing stones while just getting done telling me Herm didn't wreck the franchise. I didn't pay a damn bit of attention to what zilla in 2014. Our only 2 hired guys quit and I was killing myself with hours. It sucked.

Sweet? There is an adjective I don't use often describing grown ass men. But if you can get sweet done, kudos.

They would probably describe me as sweet.

Let's be clear about this.

I have never promoted tanking for draft position. But I did say that when you rebuild, yeah, I'd rather lose 14 games playing young prospects than lose 12 games with band-aid middling veterans. Yes, I view those as meaningless wins. The roster Herm inherited was geriatric and it not only took up the entire cap, it led to a multi-year cap mess.

Herm needed to sledgehammer the roster. If anything, he should have done it sooner. Dorsey was given plenty to build upon (7-8 pro bowlers, reasonable cap space). There was no need to sledgehammer that 2014 roster. Just wait it out for one year, wait for some shit to clean up, then make a move in 2015... which they did, and they did it effectively.

You obviously never took the time to read my assertions. I asserted that if Herm were worth half a **** at personnel he'd have found some depth for not a lot of money like Dorsey had. You turned that into high priced free agents for "meaningless wins." And you touted how Pioli was given the third overall pick as if it was something other than the team being a goddamned hot garbage ****ing cluster**** disaster.

This whole thread is about there was no cap space. The guys on the defense were old, save Poe Houston and Berry, who was not nearly as effective at the time as he is this season. The defense had just collapsed the whole season - capped off with the incredible playoff loss.

The offense was extremely limited. Smith was ineffective against better defenses and was over 30 (IIRC). And about 80% of the production came from 1 RB that was almost 30. The WR corps had ****all besides and old slow Bowe.

On the whole, most of the playmakers were old save a few young guys along with using a good chunk of the cap to get back to competitive. To top it all off we had just floundered on yet another playoff run.

The situation is not all that different from what Vermiel left. The cap in terms of being ****ed for the next year wasn't as bad, but Dorsey sold out to get the team not a total shit****, much like Vermiel sold out to win in the playoffs. And the offense wasn't as good as Vermeils and the defense wasn't as bad, but the defense couldn't hold a 28 point lead against a crap team. And all the offensive production came from a RB that is over the hill in RB standards.

Why no sledgehammer? Why is it perfectly acceptable for Herm to butt**** the franchise? Yet you aren't screaming for Dorsey to dump everybody worth a **** so we can "get young (shitty) guys snaps?

Why?

I think Direckshun is sweet. He's a sweet man. You hear that term when it's appropriate and I believe that it's appropriate here.

Perhaps we should start a poll?

He's Voyager

It's very clear who on here posts opinions because they NEED to be smarter than everyone else about the Chiefs. Their posts are all saturated with that agenda.

Being confident or even arrogant about a particular opinion is different. I don't see how people can see you as one trying to look down on others.

This offseason had a lot to do with that.

This year, instead of "projects" or "depth" we drafted two players who came in and started day 1.

Our 1st and 2nd round picks came in, played well, and erased big holes on this team.

THAT is getting value out of your draft. Just think how many games Peters has won for us. And Morse has been our most healthy lineman all year. Not only that but the rookie even played elsewhere on the line.

Unfortunately I'd say Reid has been our lost healthy lineman all year. Or Stephenson.

Funny how that works..
