The "rebuild" did begin this offseason. They brought in a ton of rookie free agents (Patterson, Brackenridge, Sippio, etc.) and have been playing many young players from day one (Tank, Turk, Bowe, etc.). The draft choices have been solid (if not spectacular: Bowe & Smith, especially). Croyle will be a solid NFL QB for years.
The Chiefs simply COULD NOT overhaul the entire team in one off-season. It's simply not possible. And there's no way this team should have started Croyle from day one because of the very offensive offensive line.
Carl was smart not to call it a rebuild. Since he has, attendance has been down and people are calling for his and Herm's head on a daily basis.
CP knows his fan-base all too well. Hence 19 years of mediocrity. Overall, Chiefs fans can't stomach a rebuild.
But it's too late. It has begun.
