It’s all in this thread.
Regarding year 3, I don’t think the team should have been A lock for the Super Bowl but the simple truth is that he had flushed everything that was wrong with Vermiels roster and had at least 200 shots at getting someone worth a **** on the team (since you’re white knoghting makes you horribad at math, that’s 156 roster spots he can churn plus 44 during the season. That’s 15 guys to churn at the bottom of the roster looking for someone that can play. Like you know, competent personnel men would do). He had all manner of cap space, huge number of draft picks, excellent waiver wire position, and a pick of UDFA. All that and he ended up with the roster he did.
If anyone can look at that final roster and still blame Vermiel is nothing but a white knighted. Plain and simple. There is nothing at all defensible about the job Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards did here, other than maybe the balls to blow it up. But having balls does not equate to competency and does not preclude you from wrecking the ****ing franchise. Which he did.
I’m not going to go through it with you in here. This could potentially be an otherwise funny thread and I’m not going to muck it up with disapproving your dumb**** white knoghting of this asshat. Besides, there is nothing left to argue. It’s all in the thread above and the other ASU thread.
Let it go man. You were wrong. It happens.

It's not a hard concept. Vermeil had 5 years of drafts. Herm had 3. Any notion whatsoever that vermeils draft classes were anything better than a steaming pile of shit is the definition of white knighting. DJ, Allen, lj, and a couple of mediocre bordering starters. For 5 years? That's horrendous.
The Chiefs had cap space in year 3. That doesn't mean they should have spent it. In case you were wondering they were still paying priest Holmes several million in dead money by 2008. Vermeil ****ed the cap in 2003. He then restructured, backloaded contracts like a madman until 2005 when we were in cap hell. Herm is the only coach in 20 years to not trade the moon for a qb... Perhaps that would have made you happy - it could have bought us a few wins to get us to your precious 6-10 mark.
This team needed to be blown up. Not bandaided. Not saved. Blown the hell up. And thank God we had a coach with the balls to do it instead of trading for Chad Pennington and wasting money on a bunch of middling veterans so we could sell the team on a quicker road to 8-8. As if we haven't done that a million times before.
