Thank you. Here's the thing with KC:
We haven't had the experience, in the entire history of the KC Chiefs, of seeing this franchise run the way that Scott Pioli has said that he will run it. After the Chiefs SB win back in the day, everything started going down, and kept going down until Carl and Marty arrived.
They brought respectability back to the franchise, but a lot of patchwork-type decisions and drafting, contract negotiations shot to hell, and then just general apathy landed us where we are now.
What I'm trying to say is, it's not so much about wins and losses at this point; it's about dissecting every element of the franchise, and starting down the road to success using proven methods that yield results.
When Pioli says "I build teams", I hear "I'm going to find the best matches between positions that rely on each other( both technically and mindset-wise ), and slowly bring that team together until they would kill and die for each other".
And that takes time.
But man, when that kind of groundwork is laid and comes to fruition?
Opponent better look out, and step the **** BACK.
