The way Herm is doing it requires more patience. We're rebuilding both sides of the ball at once and refused to do any more patch jobs with veteran free agents.

Uh huh, whatever helps you sleep at night. With 8 of the 11 starters on the offense being in their 3rd season or younger, Shanahan has the ability to focus both picks and FA dollars on the defense for the foreseeable future, and they've got an offense that will keep them in every game. Could it not work out? Of course. But don't pull the bullshit out that the Chiefs are going about it in a better way. 7-9 looks like it *might* be a rebuilding year under Shanny, after Carl's own comments the other day, who knows what a rebuilding year will look like in the final standings.
