Flaco is benefiting from a running game and solid defense, which Thigy could do just as well. Ryan is about the only QB to come out and do good his 1st year.

They might. And they should considering the expectation of such. The fact is Thigy's first year was no worse than a lot of 1st round picks. The question is consistency and getting him under center. Unfortunately for the Chiefs that means having an O-line who can block in an under center style offense. We do not have that line.

Yes! This is the NFL, not ML baseball. With FA and the salary cap, there is no reason teams in the NFL cannot go from having a bad season to being in the playoffs the next.

Miami sure turned it around in a hurry. And other teams seem to be able to play for the current year and still build for the future at the same time. It is time the Chiefs start doing just that.
