How much, if any, do the responsibilities change for OLB's if we are changing to a 1-gap 3-4 defense? Could that weigh in ont he decision for the top pick?

No, it doesn't. But it also trends in the right direction.

How many times in Chiefs history have they actually been 8-8 for a season?

Trends in the right direction? Like that 10-6 season in 2010?

8-8 doesn't get you any closer to the Super Bowl than 2-14, 4-12,7-9,4-12 if your not going to draft and develop a QB to take the leap into the post season and beyond.

His 2nd year here.....he better have us in the AFC Championship game.

Without the benefit of the last place schedule he will get this year? I doubt it will happen.

From a business owners perspective it makes sense. minimum 8-10 wins keeps butts in seats and fan interest up.

Not saying i agree with it, but i can see the business owners side. Clark wants the bleeding to stop RIGHT NOW. Not next year, or the year after.

How many playoff games have they won since '93?

If the Chiefs are in a position for a luxury pick, and it's not going to be a QB, then OLB seems to be the sexiest pick out there.

Tamba Hali IS an outstanding athlete are you nuts. Find a guy as big as him with that kind of stamina that goes until the whistle. He has blood and sweat coming off him in the 4th quarter in blowout games and hes still making a team's LT earn their pay check that week.

There was a gaping hole at LBer behind him, literally, he was playing next to a bum at DE when our starter got hurt, he had an awful safety that cant come up in the box and play the run or do ANYTHING. And Stanford Routt, Jalil Brown, Javier Arenas to his right... need I say more

there's a reason they signed guys like Dunta Robinson and Mike Devito. Run support, guys that will come up in the box and bang next to Tamba. I may not like the signings but Tamba will still come to work against every teams highest paid offensive lineman, their LT, protecting their most important position in the game, their QB. And that offense has to game plan specifically for him and that.... every week.

It's quite clear that the 10-6 season was not a trend or otherwise, they'd have been able to follow it up with a 10-6 record or better.

If the Chiefs go from 2-14 to 8-8, that's improvement. That's progress. That's moving in the right direction.

Now, if they fall back to 2-14 or 4-12 or 6-10, they have a serious problem, whether it's QB or pass rusher, etc. But that hasn't happened yet, has it?

This team has not put together consecutive winning seasons since 2005-2006, when the team was on a step decline.

If they don't improve to 8-8 or better in 2013 and stay around the 2-4 win mark, they have far more serious issues than Alex Smith. And if Alex Smith is solely responsible for a 2 or 3 or 4 game season, he'll be gone.

And if Alex Smith is gone after this year then someone's head should roll because it was a ****ing HORRIBLE move.
