I've said multiple times that Herm is not a good gameday coach. But if you're going to blame the Chiefs for personnel problems, blame the right person. There's debate about whether Herm can coach up players. But it is undebatable that from a personnel standpoint, Carl Peterson screwed this roster up from 1999-2005 by bringing in worthless but expensive free agents, extending contracts for players like Bartee who sucked, and being the worst drafting team in the NFL. I don't know the exact stats, but I believe they were both among the worst drafters in the NFL AND the oldest team in the NFL. That's a really bad combination. So when we talk about developing players, realize that while most teams have a strong foundation of young players to work with, Herm has been forced to rely on more second day draft picks and undrafted players than most coaches would ever have to work with.
Blame coaching decisions and arguably development of players on Herm. Blame the personnel/rebuild problems on Carl. That's all I'm saying.

I am misguided in venting on you about
I am just frustrted.
While rebuilding is the way to go you have to draft to match the philosophy of the head coach.
To me that philosophy is the most important issue.
Herm is drafting players who are ready to step in today, guys who were freshman starters were esp coveted.
Just because a draft pick is more nfl ready today doesnt mean he'll be the best player.But thats the safe route which shows up in every thing herm does.
I don't want to draft players to match herm i want players to match the NEW head coah.
