It wasn't the losing season. He had lost control

The problem is that Carl needed to be replaced along with Marty. They had a good run together, but both lived out their utility. Andy Reid, like so many coaches, is going to be defined by his choice in QBs. Alex Smith can be the starting point, but Reid must acquire a franchise QB, or he'll be yet another one of KC's dismal failures. |

If Marty didn't have any success following the 1998 season, I'd tend to agree. But since he coached up some decent San Diego teams, I' tend to believe his time in KC was prematurely cut short.

After that Monday game, the Chiefs lost to the Chargers by one, beat the Cards, lost in Denver by four, beat the Cowboys, lost to the Giants and beat the Raiders in Oakland, Had he truly lost control, the Chiefs would have been winless or close to winless. That was not the case. |

Was he ever going to bring in a legit QB? His most successful years in SD coincided with Brees and Rivers (the latter had a pretty solid rookie season in '06 when the Chargers won the division and lost on the freak fumble in the playoffs).

But the bottom line still remains that he was ultimately unsuccessful in achieving the goal.

That's a question that will never be answered.

With Carl, I'm pretty confident we know the answer. He's on record as saying that he preferred to bring in vets rather than gamble on rookies.
Loser philosophy, which we unfortunately have to deal with a bit longer. |

Considering they chose Trent Green over Drew Brees, I'm sure you're right.

Knowing how good those Marty teams actually were, the fact they couldn't get over the hump and win the whole thing was a letdown.
But, I dont' think anyone would argue that if we get back to the point where seasons like THAT are letdowns, we'll all be pretty happy. |
