Chiefs To those who wanted to rebuild

While Carl has sucked in the draft almost 90% of the time, we actually have one example of a responsible rebuild within the history of the 90's Chiefs. In '97, we turned over the offense and defense and the team sucked at first...but improved throughout the year and eventually went to the playoffs off a 13-3 record. They didn't ditch all the vets...but kept winning vets to compliment the younger talent and it worked out.

Of course, they followed up that season with the melt-down the next year which ended in Marty's departure...but I remember at the time, this is the way a rebuild should be handled.
