Browns trade Edwards to Jets

[nychief]

obviously rhetoric is not one of your strong points.

what we were asking for was...change. we got it. now does that preclude questioning? no. but the amount of bitching and back and forth (trade gonzo! I miss gonzo! trade JA! I miss JA. draft! free agents! character! why can't eric hick go to the lockeroom! bryalon edwards?) going on is pretty comical.

we have to be patient, and hope SP has this under control soon. quite frankly the team was a tire fire when he arrived... it is gonna take awhile. this team is supposed to be built from the bottom up... lets see what they can do with a some time... again, the losing is painful - i understand.

For the millionth freaking time. We all knew we were going to lose. I thought this would be a 4-12 team with a lot of luck.

It's the "foundation" that should have been built this year that's in question. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Bullshit.

This isn't politics. No one was asking for "change". People were asking for IMPROVEMENT.

Every team across the league has improved this offseason, save for the Chiefs. EVERY ****ING TEAM.

Denver hired a new coach and GM, have seven new starters on defense and are the top ranked D in the league. Ask yourself: Why couldn't that be the Chiefs?

The offensive line has been THE worst in the league since 2007 (and it was close in 2006). Since 2006, the have had injuries occur to ALL FOUR STARTING QB's! Shouldn't that be a ****ing RED FLAG?

All Pioli did is sign a 33 year old never was in Mike Goof. What did that get him? An injured $63 million dollar QB in preseason game THREE. And he still hasn't recovered.

Also, do you understand that the Chiefs have now spent their last three TOP PICKS, round one in 2008, round one in 2009 and round three in 2009 on FIVE TECH DEFENSIVE ENDS? That's not only unheard of, it's a complete waste of opportunity.

What's even WORSE is that Pioli's next move was not to address the offensive line but to draft a CORNERBACK!! WHAT? What's wrong with Flowers & Carr from the 2008 draft? Oh yeah, NOTHING!

This has been one gigantic cluster**** from day one.

First off this self-righteous indignation is silly. Do you think that the roster was a couple players away? That just because CP drafted a boat load of bust in the pervious 3 years we should run the 4-3? That's idiotic. It's simply pissing in the wind. Pioli took the job, probably thinking it was - using a medical analogy - a bypass operation - only to find that the patient was Terry Schiavo. He had to pull the plug and start from scratch. This team was in shambles after years of poor drafting and leaning on either too old or too untalented players. There are holes EVERYWHERE and there are only so many draft choices a team has... Second guessing is fine - but use some context. If we had drafted Jason Smith - we'd have ****ing Brokie still getting killed and everybody would be up in arms about it. If we had drafted Sanchez - nothing would have changed - Dirty would be just as dead as Cassel looks.

If we look at this honestly - there were simply too many holes and changes to be made to expect a good year.

I think we need to think (HOPE TO HELL) that this a bloodletting year and that we can take a step forward next season - a la JJ in Dallas 89/90 or even BB first to second year jump with the pats. Otherwise, I dunno... Some people are less reactionary than others, I understand... so, ya know... get all pissed off and tell your buddies what you'd have done as GM - if that make you feel better...
