I loved the way Herm wanted to build a team. It sounds great to build a young team like, similar to the way the Colts were built, and win 10+ games a season for the next decade and squeeze in a Lombardi or two.
It clearly wasn't working... at least yet.... would it have worked? Who's to say? I don't think so. I think that what many, including myself, lost sight of is that you need older guys to show the younger guys the way.
Eventually, five years from now, I would like to see the Chiefs with their own culture, and see them drafting and developing their own players. So that, like the Colts, the Chiefs can field 22 starters who are all homegrown. I guess 21, assuming that Cassel pans out.
If the Chiefs are signing stop gaps five years from now, then Pioli is failing.
