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

[Mr_Tomahawk]

With the additions of Routt, Hillis, Boss, and now Winston; do you consider this a successful offseason thus far?


If no...who else would we need to sign (realistically) in order for you to consider it a success?

Have you seen both play? There's a considerable difference.

Ya, Orton is way better, it's obvious.


They don't get us to where we need to go, though.

Seems Clark has succeeded in lowering expectations. After 4 years of doing exactly nothing, we sign one big name and our fan base is ready for a parade.

This.

We've had the same three massive holes since this regime took over.

Yesterday, one finally was filled and people are ready to erect a statue of Pioli next to Lamar's at Arrowhead.

At this rate, we might see a legit fix at NT by 2015 and at QB by 2018.

A downgrade at CB, two backups, Eric Winston (Thank God) and Brady Quinn as the competition Pioli spoke about is far from a "good" FA period.

What the **** does Cassel have to do with the moves made this off season?

for me it's because he wasn't released.

The front office's arrogance lost them the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. And the Chiefs could have cut Cassel and kept Orton for the same exact price.

The QB decision is critical. And they ****ed it up big time. They promised us competition for Cassel. Instead, they got us a backup.

That decision alone turns it from an A- to a D.

Do you think qbs grow on trees or something? Did the qb truck drive by arrowhead and nobody came out to greet them?

At least we didn't get led on by Manning, sit around with our thumbs up our asses waiting for him to call us back, and drive our starting QB to demand a trade only to find out that Peyton Manning is not walking through that door.

That would really suck.

Ya lets release our starting qb and be left with only one qb on the roster who's never taken a snap. : facepalm :

it would have been awesome if Cassel got pissed and demanded a trade tho.

Manning is done people. Get over it.

we're still with one QB anywho, Cassel's worth to this team is Zero.

As opposed to whom, Manning? Cassel or Quinn will put up better numbers than Manning

actually i'd rather had Cassel released, Ortan for this season and draft a Franchise QB next season with our roster in place to make a run.

This poll asks the question about this free agency period.

I am not satisfied with the overall job that Piol has done as long as Matt Cassel remains the QB.

But my response is based strictly on the question posed.

At the end of the day, I believe the approach to building a team is to build your core through the draft, and to find role players in free agency.

The core was essentially built by the previous regime, with a couple of pieces added by Pioli in the draft in the last couple of years.

Overall, while I agree with the team building approach Pioli has taken, I haven't been overly impressed with the drfat selections he has made.

So, if this poll asks are you happy with the job that Pioli has done overall since he was hired, with Cassel and his drafts, and his prevuious forays into free agency, my answer is a resounding no.

But the question is, are you happy with what Pioli has done in this free agency.

That is what I am responding to, and my answer to that question is yes.
