Half those guys were sent packing and the rest were converted to a defense in which they weren't drafted to play. What Pioli's done is completely erase the past two drafts - threw them out the window.
Bowe's taken a step backwards, as has Albert. Pollard's gone. Turk's gone. Tank's a part-time player. Dorsey's playing out of position.
So, now that we're on this path, you'd think we'd be improved, right? WRONG. We're worse across the board. In throwing players in the trash in order to convert to a completely different defense, Pioli set the Chiefs back at least one year if not two. And he did nothing to compliment this team in free-agency.
In my opinion, it's an absolutely valid way to evaluate and quantify progress.
And so far, there's been NONE.
It's been all for naught.

That happens all the time all over the NFL not just in KC.. Many times a new GM and HC come in and want their players, team, etc.....
Yes the last 3 years were all for naught. We knew as they were happening any respectable GM who comes in is going to clean house and start over...
Its sucks, its going to take some time, but if we can endure 3 years of Herm, then we can endure Pioli and Haley finally trying to build a championship team in KC, first time in a long time.
