Would you consider the offseason FA period a success for the Chiefs?

I would say that Pioli has done a good job.

However the 2 most important positions on this football team have not been address.

QB and NT.

He's tried w/ Cassel and that plan has miserably failed. He won't ever admit it, and we're going to unfortunately ride that train until it literally flies off of the tracks. Pioli's idea of competition are QB's that don't deserve to start in the NFL, and most likely never will. That's not competition, that's filling a roster spot. Quinn sucks and Stanzi hasn't played enough to really get a grade on how well he's playing, but if you're a betting man you'd think that his lack of playing time would mean it's because he's not ready yet.

This is the 4th season now that we've played in a 34, and we've yet to seriously address the NT position, the most important position on the defense. I'm betting this is what we go after in the draft in the 2nd round. Hope to god we don't reach for Dontario Poe in the 1st. That would be reeruned on all levels. He had a monsterous combine, but that doesn't mean shit. He played like shit in college against sub-par competition. That's what matters.

We have enough great players on defense that they'll be fine. However an entire football team fails or succeeds usually on how well the QB plays, since he touches the ball the most and ultimately leads the team to the endzone. Cassel is garbage. Outside of RG3 and Luck, there isn't any QB in this weak draft that's worth of taking in the 1st rd. I really just wish we'd trade Cassel to Miami. They're starving for a QB now.

My guess (based on gut feeling only) is that Stanzi wasn't ready last year due to the lack of offseason and short preseason, but that Pioli and Crennel think he's going to be the man pretty soon and signed Quinn as a stop gap. So Quinn or Cassel will start the season, but Stanzi will take over when he is ready.
