Chiefs were a top ten team last year despite a god-awful offensive line. If the line simply becomes league average, we'll be as good as any team in the league. Nobody wants to hear such stuff, though, because this board is full of anti-homer bed wetters.

You're exactly right - A god-awful line + WR's who were just as bad....A little improvement will go a LONG way this season. Laughable that anyone would have them at #24 and behind the jags no less.
