Damn, gone an hour and a half and this thread blew up.
Thoughts:
Someone said Jason Brown has had no impact in STL. Might want to ask Steven Jackson about that. Dude is facing a constant 8 in the box, and he's SECOND in the league in rushing yards.
Someone also made the ignorant claim that it would have cost KC 25% more to sign him. STL was in as bad of shape as we were/are, why would he demand more to play here?

I still haven't seen an answer to these questions:

What has Pioli done well? What are his successes in KC thus far? Please be specific.

What has he started to build? Are there any new pieces to the foundation? Does a 5 tech count? The kicker?
The puddle of mud is enough? At least that ugly ass house isn't here any longer?

First, this has NEVER been about wins - it's about acquiring some building blocks. I wouldn't have signed Haynesworth, but I absolutely would have signed Brown and either Canty or Olshansky. That would have not only opened up our R1 pick for a playmaker, but would have given us young, long term solutions to build on.

Couldn't agree more, Fish.
