He kept Carl on for two years, but that was because Herman ****ing Edwards sold him on the plan to rebuild the Chiefs through the draft.

He clearly ran out of patience with Carl in 2008.

He may or may not be as patient and loyal as Lamar.

But evidence at this point suggests he isn't.

He drafts like he did last year, we will play in a Super Bowl someday. He drafts like the previous year, he's outta here.

2010 was a good draft, sure. It still doesn't compare to Carl's 2008 draft, though.

Carl hit a home run on Flowers, Charles, and Carr, and he got great value out of BRich. Also, it's not like Dorsey and Albert were awful picks, even if they haven't lived up to expectations. Both of the guys are starters for us and at the time were considered no-brainer picks. That's a total of 6 good picks- 3 of them being goldmines-- potential or already Pro Bowl status. That's batting .500, with 60% of the hits home runs. That was an amazing draft.

Pioli will never ever hope to aspire to that draft. I hope he does, but it's pretty unlikely.

I syill believe credit for that '08 draft goes to Bill Kuharich and Chuck Cook.

When Herman ****ing Edwards sold Clark the rebuilding plan, the keys to the kingdom were passed on.

True, but, how many drafts did Carl have before he hit a homerun in 2008? For being only his second draft, 2010 is looking like quite the accomplishment for Pioli.
