Second yes, it does say a lot about the talent evaluation that had been going on here. This roster will be turned over until both Pioli and Haley feel like they have the right guys in place. If people want to continue to make fun of the "right 53" phrase go ahead, but it's the same mantra that Parcells and Belichick chant as well. And right now I don't think we have more than a handful of the "right 53" in place. So it's very possible that next season that the Chiefs could struggle again. If the offensive line gets fixed this next offseason we could take a big jump in competitiveness. But we also need linebackers, a safety or possibly two, a true nose tackle, a better blocking fullback, and possibly two more running backs.
this team is a long way from competing and anyone who expected a record even nearing .500 this year spent too much time with their head in a paint can.

I picked the Chiefs to win 3 games this year dumbass. I had about as low of expectations as anyone. Nice guess on that.
Pioli created the "Right 53" mantra. The fans didn't. And the fans have every right to hold the GM to what he says. It's pretty sad that you justify the GM not being a man of his word. You're right though, we do need LBs, safeties, a NT, etc. The thing you're neglecting is that they had opportunities to fill some of those roles already, and for whatever reason they neglected a good portion of that. The fact that they only have a handful of the "Right 53" in place at this point is evidence that they've failed in player evaluation. There's no other way around it.
