Pioli believes in Cassel.

Cassel is like the bosses son.
He can be the most worthless part of the company, but you just know that if you speak up about it that you could get fired...so you say nice things about him and ignore the fact that you wish he would jump off a bridge. |

Game strategy and talent evaluation are two completely different things. It's interesting in that we have the same people doing both sometimes.
There are certainly times where fans would've probably made a more logical game strategy decision than a coach. You see so many terrible time management moves and poor challenges, etc. And there are plenty of times where fans have no clue why a guy falls off the earth. Look at how so many people wanted Burfict in the 7th yesterday. But it's not like anyone here sat down and actually talked to the guy like NFL teams did though. If your job is on the line and you have some guy acting out of control and he tells you it's not his fault and it was just poor officiating, you probably aren't going to draft him either. |

Is that really part of your selection criteria?

2) No real comment on this one.... 3) I kinda think he got thrown under the bus. I liked the try. 4) Who cares. 5)WOuldn't it be better to wait and see? I mean if Poe turns out to be beast you will be wrong on this one. If that list of 5 things is the worst you can do, then you haven't really said much. This franchise was utter shit when Pioli took over. I personally like the way it seems to be going.

Scott Pioli inherited a 2-14 team stockpiled with some of the worst players in the NFL. In three seasons, he has rebuilt it into a perennial playoff contender. He hired Todd Haley, boo hoo. Todd Haley and his staff actually took players like Dwayne Bowe, Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson and got them to reach their potential. Glenn Dorsey was a lost cause until Haley showed up and made him work off the gut. When the relationship with Haley was unsalvageable, Pioli cut ties. He has drafted well, even when you don't like it. The only bad draft we've had with him has been the Tyson Jackson year, which was atrocious, but the guy had three months with the scouts to pick these guys. Scouts are out ALL year looking for the types of players you want. It was also an historically weak draft. Pioli traded for Matt Cassel, yeah. And it was a great trade. We got Mike Vrabel, who was absolutely instrumental in our transition to the 3-4, and a starting quarterback for a second round pick. Did Cassel have a pro bowl year? Where he threw 27 TD to 7 INT? Where he took us to the playoffs? Yes. Okay, then. I'll take that for a second round pick any time. The fact that Cassel has proven, OVER TIME, to not be the answer at QB is in no way an indictment of Pioli. We didn't know he wasn't the answer! He sure as hell looked like it in 2010. But oh boy, now that we know, we sure are ready to put Pioli in the doghouse for bringing him in. Hindsight is 20/20, and you have lasers coming out of your eyes. Settle down. Pioli is going to be around for a LONG TIME. And frankly, I couldn't be happier. To be a good team, you have to have consistency, and that includes the front office. This team was one blocked field goal away from the playoffs last year, and that's after losing Berry, Charles, Moeaki, firing the head coach and losing the starting QB, and without their #1 draft pick for several weeks. And against a first-place schedule. This team is getting really good. Yes, we need a new QB, but did you really want Kirk freaking Cousins? Nick Foles? Come on, man. If we're taking a quarterback, it is going to be the best in the draft, not the seventh guy off the board with a noodle arm. |

no offense but Pee Wee Herman could have played OB for the Chiefs and made the pro bowl with that schedule.

I don't think Orton wanted to stay here. I don't know why, but he certainly has to know he'd have a better shot at playing as a backup in KC than Dallas. Orton didn't want to come to KC in the first place... he wanted to go to Chicago, and even put out a threat through the media to try and keep the Chiefs from claiming him. I don't blame Pioli for that one. You can't hold guys against their will.
