Pioli's Job Approval Rating: March 2012
 

OK, we're three years into the Pioli era, and there have been some significant moves in the past couple of weeks, so:

Do you approve of the way that Pioli is performing his job as the GM of the Chiefs?

Simple yes or no. You can qualify your responses via post.

No, we have a roster full of talent but without a QB we still can't compete in meaningful games.

FOL (**** our lives)

Minus the QB issue, yes.

In Pioli I trust.

We need a QB to be competitive. So no.

Still waiting on that NT.

He's made progress, but until he gets serious about the QB situation (not signing Brady ****ing Quinn), then I do not approve.

Also, he's still married to Cassel... so the answer is no.

The fact that the Chiefs were the obvious best fit for Manning and he didn't want anything to do with this franchise automatically gets Pioli a negative rep in my book.

He gets a no as of today but if the FA's perform well and our injured stars are 90%, we should have a great year.

Are you waiting on a second and third receiver?
An elite run game?
A good offensive line?
A top ten defense?
A great pair of bookend passrushers?
An elite secondary?

I'm waiting on a NT and QB too.

But let's get ****ing real here.

yep

I put yes but really I mean that I only approve of it if he can find a quarterback that can actually become a franchise quarterback down the road or at least a competent one and drown Cassel.

Tell the Jets or the 49ers or the Ravens that.

We can win meaningful games. But we're not Super Bowl guys just yet.

To expect us to be there three years after going 2-14 is bullshit.

I'd be in a pickle if we signed a REAL QB. I already spent my season ticket money booking a cruise and a ticket to Hawaii for the Mrs. for my TDY out there in May
I would find a way though Clark, I promise.....

I won't aporve of Pioli until he shows he's not stubborn and addresses the QB position.

this team goes nowhere w/o a QB.

I actually don't think he is married to Cassel but at this point really, what is out there? there's nothing to choose from till the draft at the very least

Tell the Ravens that. Or the Jets that. Or the 49ers that.

We're not going to the Super Bowl with Cassel. But that doesn't mean we can't make noise in January.

And nothing in the draft.

ok, lets see where the Chiefs are come this January.

Quinn at least gives us a known commodity and he is no Tyler Failco. I think that behind a good line and with a great running game we can be very competitive. The ravens won it with Trent Dilfer (IE Cassel). If we can get a stud NT in the Draft then we are going to be real tough. I would draft Poe with 1st pick and Pass Rusher (OLB) with 2nd. Then BPA after that. I am starting to get excited.

k

I guess with how much personnel changes in the NFL, I would rather go with a win now strategy. And not to be a homer, but with a good QB this team could make noise right now.........as in next season!

To make a run for the super bowl, you need a decent QB. If we had a QB, the rest is in place. In order to beat the best in the NFL, it's a must. WE NEED A REAL QB SCOTT.

exactly why i get so pissed that QB hasn't been addressed in three years..

Upgrades across the board for me.

except the QB's
i'd take Thiggy over Quinn and Castle anyday.

If it weren't for the QB issue, I would say yes. QB issue alone make me a big NO

TRUE FANS TO SUMMON

VEEE KAN DO ZIS

:shake: lolwut?

in case you're not sure, i'm serious

He took McCluster over Cody. If you make the decision to switch to the 3-4, you better to do whatever it takes to get a NT.

Thigpen couldn't manage a game... Casell = Huard.... How people forget...

And he used the Tony G pick on Arenas. He's made shitty moves.

He's also given us two great drafts. He's fleshed out the roster while keeping us drastically under the cap.

You're not seeing the forest for the trees.

selective memories to support their passion

The QB issue is all that holds me back from being happy. We have a solid team aside from that. Hopefully we can run the shit out of the ball and the generic QB can do enough to move the chains when needed.

Getting us back to mediocrity isn't an accomplishment.

I was on the border and I clicked yes. Then I remembered my boy Brandon Carr. damnit, what have I done?

:thumb::thumb:

Cassel cant do anything

Where is the not only no but **** no option?

I know Huards cousin. Him and his wife were over here, with several other people drinking beer over in the man cave around Christmas. I was gravling his ass for half the night over that fact.

With the rules changes that have been implemented in the last ten years, the days of winning SBs with mediocre QBs like Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson are long gone.

In today's NFL, a QB that can make plays is an absolute necessity.

Anybody who works for a Hunt, like working for Glass, is doomed to failure! But alas, he'd have failed anyway. Now if we could just keep him focused on gum wrappers...

While he has brought in some good players, he has failed in his most important responsibility to bring a franchise QB to the team. Fail rochambeau

Again, what Franchise QB was available in the last three years that we missed on again?

This.

Somewhat surprised by the breakdown. Very diverse group here.

I think Pioli is good at everything except evaluating quarterback talent. . . which is kind of like having a mechanic who's good at everything but fixing engines.

Casshole is still the Chief's starting QB so **** no.

.

If we would have brought in a QB even of Brad Johnson's ability, I would vote yes, for sure. We haven't, so I didn't.

there is no simple answer

1. his drafts and ability to craft contracts are looking better and better...honestly, some of these contracts are ridiculous and it makes me wonder if he slips GHB to agents

2. his investment in Cassel, and worse his complacency with the QB position, is unforgivable...

3. we still don't know about his ability to hire a coach: Haley was a dumpster fire, and Crennel - while admired, and a great DC - has a history of failure as a HC

so in one area he's great, in a second he's an absolute failure, and in a third he's still a question mark...

What in the **** is the point of parroting 'OMFG POLIO HASNT GOT QB YET SO HE SUCKZ COKS IN HELL' over and over again. I'm sure as **** not satisfied with Cassel either, but to say he hasn't tried is utter bullshit. Drop some names of QB's we had a LEGIT shot to get.

Agree somewhat with the TC.


I think if an obvious qb option came available they would be all in , like they supposedly were with Manning.

He drafted Tyson Jackson @ 3 and who is our OC?Nuff said.

The Tyson Jackson shit needs to be put to bed.


I realize for where he was drafted it is off, but the guy has improved alot and actually does a damn good job DOING WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO DO.

With our cap space available? Name a free agent QB we COULDN'T have signed.

Seriously? That entire draft as a whole was a tire AIDS fire in terms of talent available.

If the 22m contract of the Winston deal is true, expect a trend upward.

If this poll would have been posted 4 days ago watch it go the other way~

I would have rather had Orakpo @ 3 doing WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO DO.

Its quite easy to point at any free agent QB and say we should've signed him. Its a whole nother thing to bring them in and convince him that out of all 32 NFL teams he could play for, ours is the best fit.

He is one of the top rated 34 defensive ends against he run.


I agree he could use some serious upgrade at rushing the passer, but thats not really what he is asked to do.

At this point, Cassel is the albatross. There is no answer but "no" for me because of this.

I think my FA wishlist I posted in December listed TE, RB, RT, NT, and interior O-line.

The interior O-line was more about feeling there were quality guards and centers, than desperate need.

So far we got a good TE, an acceptable RB, and a great RT.

I'm concerned about NT. Interior O-line can be addressed on the draft.

I would give Pioli a B-. Up to a B+ if we still add a vet DT.

For me I have to take everything Pisoli has done so far to form my opinion.With Cassel,jackson and our new OC,I just can't say I approve but I am pleasantly surprised by our FA signings thus far.

Agree, good point.



Although I think Jackson could end up being a real cornerstone of the defense.


Cassel, not much hope there.

Im going to have to go ahead and vote no on this one.

Yes because there was no way to fix the QB without getting one of the first 2 picks in the draft or convincing PM to come here. The former would have been far too expensive and the latter was outside of his control mostly. But, we can't win a SB without a good QB. I have to hope he'll find someone next year or so. With the strong team we have, even Cassel will look surprisingly good this year.

Milkman said it elsewhere -- when you have a good running game and a good O-line it can create the illusion that Cassel is a pro bowl QB ... until we play a top team.

I am not sure that there have been a ton of great QB options outside of PM right now that are just heads and shoulders better than Cassel. I guess we tried with PM and he apparantly wasn't interested in us. He would rather go to Tenessee or Denver. Both of them have been hamstrung in improving their teams because they are waiting on a response from him. We weren't going to get Luck or RGIII. Quinn isn't that bad of an option for competition/backup role. We really haven't seen what Cassel could do with a good line (at least as a Chief). We know he was serviceable with a good running game and there is a chance ours might be the best it has been in a long time this year. We now have 2 good tight ends and that is good cause he doesn't look past 10 yards. We could be a really ground it out type of team and with a good NT/draft we could be scary good on defense with getting E. Berry back. I think there is reason to be excited. We are a overall much more talented team since he took over. Gets a B+ from me. If we get a franchise QB in the next 3 years then he will surely deserve an A. We also have one young team overall still and they are much more talented than the young team we had under Herm and Carl.

Poll fail.

Its a he's the best GM or he sucks poll.

It's actually a simple question. Do you approve or not?

A GM's job performance is not based on one signing, one pick. Did the Tony G pick make King Carl a good GM?

Gotta love the people bitching about Cassel and then also bitching about every single option available to us to compete with him.

32 teams in the NFL and you barely need more than 1 hand to count the # of franchise QB's in the league and people on CP act like they grow on ****ing trees and the Chiefs are the only one without one.

True fans win.

Deez, come to the bright side.

Polio is going to lead us to glory.

No. The Matt Cassel experiment has gone on for FAR too long. Anyone else would be doing serious prison time for stealing so much damn money.

There is absolutely NO WAY that Matt Cassel would have kept his job 3 years with any other franchise.

This is a passing league. We have had the WORST starting QB in terms of yards per attempt since he has taken over the offense. The soft schedule, and a GENIUS performance as offensive coordinator by Charlie Weiss got Matt Cassel one respectable season that landed him in the Pro Bowl, but the truth however, was that when we really needed Cassel in that playoff game against the Ravens, he couldnt deliver anything but checkdowns or interceptions.

This offense needs a leader that can shoulder the load, put the team on his back and win the game with his arm if needed. This team right now for all its improvement, is never going to be any better than Marty's teams.

If the game is not played PERFECTLY, one mistake costs you the game. When theres no time on the clock for the running game, we dont have a guy who can move the football quickly down the field. Our D can hold and hold and hold and hold, and when Shat throws that pick down in our redzone and they score on the short field, we're fecked.

No number of signings is ever going to cover up his blatant disregard for how badly Cassel has performed, and his lack of trying to rectify the situation and get someone in here that gives us a chance to win. REALLY WIN.

Not just the soft schedule regular season games, but the tough games against the best teams in the league. Playoff games.

Until Pioli delivers a Quarterback that can utilize all the weapons that he's signed, all it amounts to is good intentions.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Hard to look past Matt Cassel still being the QB without any real competition coming in here.

But I do like the other signings we've had. Hillis, Boss & Winston.

This.

Imperfect world. He's doing pretty good here. No injuries and we're in the playoffs. Next year too. And we're competitive even with cassel.

What I love about Pioli:

-His recent draft record

-His ability to offer contracts at RIDICULOUSLY cheap prices to some damn fine talented players (Charles, Winston)

-The way he abuses Adam Teicher in press conferences

What I hate about Pioli:
-Quarterback

-His incestual relationship to former Patriots players that makes me want to kidnap teenagers and force them to eat my feces

-Quarterback

-His incestual relationship to former Patriots coaches/front office staff that makes me want to kidnap teenagers and force them to eat my feces

-Quarterback

-The way he ignores ignores or lies about any questions dealing with his incestual relationship to a former Patriots quarterback that makes me want to kidnap teenagers and force them to eat my feces

-Quarterback

-All of his other hypocritical rhetorical ticks in interviews that piss me off (ex: "competition at every position" = earn your spot every time you step onto the field unless you're at the most important ****ing position on the field and your name is Matt Cassel)

-The amazing number of excuses he/his supporters make up to justify these abortions of decisions

-Quarterback

Tally all the points up, carry the 3..... I arrived at "no"
