I want my owner to do his best to hire the most qualified candidates. The man FINALLY got rid of Carl Peterson. While Pioli was a freaking disaster, it's not like he was some 'good old boy network scrub'. He was the most highly pursued GM candidate in the NFL. Pioli opted to hire Haley and Crennel. After that Clark decided he'd hire the damn coach.
With Reid it's the same thing. Reid was a big name coaching candidate, not some budget clown you bring in if you don't give a shit.
I'm far from traumatized that Clark didn't demand by fiat that KC draft Mark Sanchez or Geno Smith.
Instead he's responsible for the staff that drafted probably the best QB KC will ever have.

I couldn't agree more.
I would have lost a lot of money betting on the drafting of a QB when they took Mahomes. I was very pissed when they didn't draft Claussen or Rodgers when they were sitting there on the board for the taking.
My only real problem with Clark Hunt was that I was convinced there was a referendum put forth by Lamar never to draft in the first again.
I am just a fan and they are actually football people that know what they are doing I guess.
