Some of us were championing Schwartz as the new HC of the Chiefs.

Why is it silly to compare two teams that started over, both with next to nothing on their roster?

It's silly to compare because the Lions have, for the most part, been at the bottom of the NFL for nearly a decade. They should have much more talent on their roster than the Chiefs, just due to draft position alone.
I would really like to avoid getting into a position by position analysis in this particular thread, but I'd take Albert over Backus, Waters/Asamoah over Barry Sims, and the turd I just cut over Gosder Cherilus.
I think Delmas is a player but I'll take Berry every time. They play a 4-3, we play a 3-4 so the LB position is different, I'd take our running backs, CB's, etc.
I think the Chiefs will be further along in the "process" (****, I hate the word) than the Lions in 2010 and 2011.

Everyone hates the picks initially, (sans Berry and Asomoah) then begin to rationalize it because some pundits like it - instead of sticking to their opinion.
It happened after the Cassel trade, it happened after last year's draft, and it happened this weekend.

See, here's the thing: I
only worry about
me.
I form my opinions based on information I've gathered, whether it's from this site, SI, PFT, Playboy or Tube8.com.
It's ALL me.
Secondly, I put my ass so far out on the line each year that if I'm wrong, people either take shots at me, relinquish the fact that I'm right, or I have to fess up. Either way, I'm good.
I'm not trying to change anyone's perception when I post and I'm not trying to gain popularity.
This is the ONE place I can come and talk about the Chiefs freely, regardless of whether I'm right, wrong or indifferent because I'm basically on an island in SoCal. No one gives a shit about the Chiefs. It would be like if you were a die hard Dodgers fan living in St. Louis. Who would give a ****?
Chiefsplanet will alway be comprised by a majority of fans that see no wrong with what their hometown does because it's their hometown team.
I'm just a dude with an outsider's perspective.
