And I've given him credit for the moves I think he deserves credit for.

Chambers fell into his lap. I'm not going to give him credit for picking a guy up on waivers because the two teams ahead of him passed. It was a no-brainer and worked out for 2009. I personally don't expect the same level of production in 2010, but I hope I'm wrong.

TJ was a good signing for the money. But he's not a long-term solution.

I hope the Lilja signing works out, but I'm concerned about his knees, and that we're apparently going to play him out of position.

I've done nothing but praise the selections of Berry an Asomoah all weekend.

You know where I stand on McCluster.

I also think Jackson will improve this year and be a decent player. Certainly not worth the third overall pick but will help the defense in the run game. The point i'm trying to make is I don't think Pioli is as bad as some of us make him out to be and he's not as good as some think.

You did back away, and it doesn't surprise me that you think you're right.

As much of Pioli's man juice as you've swallowed, I can understand why you'd defend him (or poorly attempt to) at all costs.

Two years in, and with one of the easiest schedules in recent memory, there's no reason not to win 8 games.

You just want to make excuses for when it doesn't happen. Gotta protect your boy.

Fair enough.

Go have another drink Phil, and make sure you duck this time when the wife goes for the haymaker.

Right.

But whether it's Grbac, Boller, Troy Smith or even Flacco, they've been unable to get over the hump.

Flacco, IMO, is becoming more and more like Cassel each and every day.

Give him four first round offensive lineman, a first round RB, bring in Boldin and Stallworth, then hope he produces.

it amazes me how butthurt some people get just because they think NFL draft sites are legitimate sources

Yeah I wish I'd never posted that exchange...My bad and nobody elses....So what's your point? You don't have one...you're just an internet ...not even tough guy...but a pussy....got it...boy..eeee.! Fuk you pussy!

No worries. Life happens. I understand that. OTW just wanted to use it to twist things. That's the kind of asshole he seems to be.

It's a silly notion, regardless of whether the "vast majority" has come to that conclusion. I pointed out that this is what would quite possibly happen very early on in my tenure here. The problem is that you, as Chiefs fans, are so immersed in the team that you can't see just how much of a trainwreck you really had here. As bad as you thought it was, it was even worse when looking from the outside.

That's an even sillier notion. He came in late, had to use scouts who'd been looking for 4-3 prospects when he wanted to run a 3-4, got the late batch of coaching choices, was stuck with a pick that he didn't want and couldn't move, and had to get rid of shitheads like LJ. Frankly, if you want to find a place to kill Pioli, I'd start there. Keeping LJ when he had the chance to dump his ass for free was a huge mistake, and I stated my opinion to that effect at the time.

It wasn't overplayed at all. Hell, even the positions your claiming were in place clearly demonstrated that they were not. The DT position, which was for a 4-3 as opposed to a 3-4, was a position of much struggle in 2008. How that's supposed to be "in place" is a mystery for the ages. As for WR, when the guy shows up 20+ pounds heavy, is lazy and gets suspended, I don't see how that's really fitting the notion of being in place.

No such significant resources existed.

He doubled the win total after trading away the only known true "threat" the team had on offense and converting the defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4. That's only paltry if you're looking for reasons to complain. As for Cassel, I love how you all have thrown him away after a season in which the offense sucked like Mega Maid around him for much of the season.

I've already demonstrated how ridiculous your position is. Rehashing it will be a waste of time, because your argument isn't rational.

Yes, you want to hold your GM to a standard that hasn't been met in over a decade, and to call anything less incompetence. That's ridiculous on your part. Now, suddenly, you're downgrading to "playoffs", after you used to make fun of those who'd have been happy with 8-8 or first round of the playoffs. That should make you re-think your positions, but it probably won't.

Totally understandable. Me too.

This is no offense to any of them, they're critical posters but can't say I blame them. Hamas, OTW and even Dane they express truth when it comes to this team, but it's the truth part that is hard to swallow. I try to look at the bright side of this team, not saying they're negative or anything, but they're willing to detect the flaws of this team from the inside out and give their takes. I can respect that because it enables me to see things differently coming from their point of view. Hey, each have there own approach right? But thats the planet and thats what makes it great is different peoples thoughts, opinions and personalities.

I give them credit for just letting it out and expressing their thoughts and frustration. A lot of what they say relates to why this team has failed over the years. They may not be right all the time, but at times I can see how they are. So I could get what they're saying from time to time. Don't get me wrong, Im not trying to kiss butt, lol just saying things the way I see it.

Personally, I think they're horseshit.

From Don Banks and Peter King at SI (both of whom I enjoy their normal insight) to douche****s like Walter or Scott Wright, they're a bunch of Mel Kiper wannabe's.

I've said for years that Walter is a ****ing dumbass and Scott Wright proved to me this year (because I went on his "supposed" chat), that he's as ****ing dumb as the granite countertops in which my laptop currently lies.

It's hilarious to me that guys like Mecca, with his absolutes, passive-aggressive bullshit and never-wrong attitude, treat these sites like the ****ing Dead Sea Scrolls.

Thats their fatal flaw no doubt about it. I agree about Flacco as well.

I didn't back away, and Deez just apologized out of courtesy, despite his having done nothing wrong. You really are an idiot. Do you have to mark your shoes "left" and "right"?

He apologized for mowing the lawn, dumbass. He wasn't conceding to you, you ****ing dolt.

All you've done is make excuses and claimed you've won the argument.

You're a delusional troll.

Damn, never seen anybody put it like that...weird thing is that its kind of true.
