exactly.

This is one of the reason why Carl and Marty were pretty damn successful right from the start in KC. We had a stockpile of high draft talent from the bad seasons of the 80's......

They had some young superstars and veterans all entering or right at the primes of their careers.

Carl could have blown up the team 2 or 3 times by now instead of playing it safe and mediorce for the past 10 years and gaining nothing.

Of course why would he want to do that, blowing up the team and starting fresh would be the easiest way for him to get fired.

I don't belive in the "blowing up the team philosophy". Since the advent of the CBA the NFL has become alot like the College game game in that it's pretty much a 4 year roll over. If the coast isn't so great you always keep the good players.

That's not a good point at all. Carl has stated he's gonna retire in two more years so I doubt he's worried about getting fired.

Then he won't be rebuilding because its more than a 2 year process.....

Think about this team, we maybe have 10 players. When I say blow it up I don't mean get rid of everyone just the old guys/guys who suck/guys who are overpaid.

O.K. I'm fine with that but isn't that what a team should do every offseason.

Yeah,

That absent minded guy that wrote the article should have included Eric Hicks and William Bartee on the "out the door" list.

My thoughts too.

Besides the Chargers analysis, this is just another Captain Obvious article.

Honestly, you know what the best thing for the Chiefs to do is?

Draft the best player available. Thats the best thing for this team to do.

Because realistically look at it this way? Has it ever crossed your mind Chiefs fans, be honest, that this team has a lot of holes anyway?

And that we could use a possible upgrade at a lot positions.

Whether it'd be LT, QB, WR, DT, LB, S? Who cares? We could use talent anywhere....Draft the best guy that will be available when we pick in the middle of the 1st round. I dont know about you, but thats what I hope Peterson does.
