Tape can say one thing, but who's to say the player isn't failing b/c he's doing exactly as he's told. You are better off seeing how they fair in your drills. By the time they realized who was out, the pickin's were slip. The guys they brought in, at least in my eyes, weren't "their guys", they were what was left, but they were still an unknown potential compared to the know crap we had.

I don't agree with what's in bold, at all. In fact, if it's true, everyone who is in charge at 1 Arrowhead should be fired immediately.
The goal is always to make progress toward a championship. Period. Not to sit back and evaluate.
You evaluate and then make the necessary moves to get better, and Pioli had sufficient time to do this before a single meaningful snap happened. Arguing otherwise is revisionist history.
As fans, we have to face the distinct possibility that Pioli is dumb as ****. So far, the evidence says he *might* be.
Meanwhile, I'm hoping like hell that he puts together an off-season this coming year that presents an equally convincing counter-argument.
