How much do you blame Alaird Baird ?

Well how are you going to know whether or not the "new guys" are going to pan out unless you play them? I don't understand why Kansas City sports fans have such a hard time with the concept of developing young players. Seems like if you aren't signing proven free agents or if rookies don't come in playing at peak potential, it's not good enough. You see it with the Chiefs, look at Larry Johnson, no one thought he'd ever become anything because he didn't blow the league away right off the bat, same with Dante, and now I'd say it's with Kawika Mitchell... maybe all sports fans are like that, I don't know.

This is, at its heart, a fairweather city. The fairweather fans are gone now, but rest assured they'll be choking up the ticket lines when the team is good again, to make it harder on those of us who have been here all along.
