We were considered one of the early winners in FA in 2009. Deja vu.

i think the early projections this time last year were

Peyton Hillis 1000 yards
Baldwin 700 yards 10 touchdowns
McCluster 90 touches
Stanford Routt will make us forget Brandon Carr

all of that went over like a wet fart real quick, but it was a whole spring/summer of that garbage.


I will say this time the FAs they signed this offseason pale in comparison and should not be held to the same standard for two reasons
A) All of them have consistent production at what they do even if their skillsets are 1 dimensional and their ceilings are capped.
B) All of them are not "acquired by association" meaning this new regime doesnt have an elitist pool of only 25 players they will sign because of coaching connections and stupid trees of craptastic shit coaches like our prior fail of a GM.

so the FAs are better, and better in the sense that none of them are good enough to get you 1000 yards at anything or even 4 sacks. So you cant have those type of homeristic projections and tend to have to be realistic about what they will do, and thus you will get realistic results. Dunta Robinson will not be Brandon Carr, and probably cant even beat out Javier Arenas, but he will still contribute, more than Stanford Disroutt ever did, and that alone is an upgrade.

I found it amazing that the KC GM assembled a coaching staff that quickly made those predictions BS.
