The one-year wonder, a true ChiefsPlanet legend. Hell, a true Star board legend.

I dunno who said it, by I don't agree with the notion that you can't be a Super Bowl contender without a top 5 qb. At all.

It's not really about whether you can be a contender or not, it's about giving yourself the best shot at winning over the longest period of time.

Well, we're doing it...

by trading multiple premium draft picks for a 30 year old average quarterback and letting a bunch of guys we drafted walk in free agency?

No, I wouldn't call that "building through the draft".

They spent a shit load on free agents in the vermeil years. Gave up a shit load of draft picks during that time. And we are going to point to one year where they were quiet?

4 seasons of heavy offseason free agency activity and only one playoff berth.

They gave up a shitload of draft picks during the Vermiel years? A 2 for Surtain and a 4 for Roaf. Who am I missing/forgetting about?

Also please don't embarrass yourself by trying to compare signings like Kendrell Bell and Shawn Barber to possible signings like TJ Ward, Emmanuel Sanders or even guys like Jarius Byrd.

Very first year they didn't have a pick until the 3rd round (everbody remember Eric Downing?) because of the trades for Green and Vermeil himself.

Trent green. Dick vermeil.

The chiefs added many quality players through free agency. If you're going to throw Sanders and ward out there, those guys are every bit on the same level as signing Barber and surtain.

ROFL

Those were the days!

The revisionism on Shawn Barber is hilarious anyway.

The dude was a pretty good player in Washington. He came here and was one of the better players on a terrible defense.

People bagged on Barber but WORSHIPED Mike Maslowski. Go figure.

You misspelled his name. It was MaSLOWski.
