I'm guessing a lot of sane GM's, if they had their druthers, would like to release well over half of our roster that is loaded with LOFT.

Lack of ****ing talent.

...the thread on Quinn Gray comes to mind...

No doubt that is true. He passes on a couple of people and they will start their whining and crying

That's all I was trying to say.

:D

New info?.....

Pioli, KC talks heating up

Discussions between the Kansas City Chiefs and Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli have intensified, according to an NFL source.

Although negotiations had not begun as of early tonight, word out of Kansas City was that the possibility of a marriage was picking up momentum.

Even before he interviewed last Monday, Pioli was presumed to be the Chiefs’ top choice to run their football operation. That hasn’t changed since Kansas City chairman Clark Hunt conducted a thorough, close-to-the-vest search that has included multiple candidates.

Hunt, interim president Denny Thum, and Pioli have increased their dialogue and think they could form a strong partnership, which is crucial, because regardless of whom the Chiefs hire, that person will have to work closely with Thum.

As part of the search for a general manager, Hunt has stated that he plans to split the job, with Thum handling business matters and the new hire focusing mostly on the football side.

Although it has been suggested that Pioli, 43, might be seeking total control and thus wouldn’t be comfortable with such an arrangement, the increased intensity of talks indicate that might not be the case.

Hunt has decided to split the job after former general manager Carl Peterson, who was with the club for 20 years, held both titles. In dividing the job, Hunt has said he wants a general manager who would be a ‘‘fresh set of eyes’’ and ‘‘shrewd evaluator of talent.’’

Pioli, a two-time Sporting News Executive of the Year Award winner, would qualify.

While Pioli and the Chiefs moved closer, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has emerged as a top candidate to become the Denver Broncos head coach, according to Adam Schefter of the NFL Network.

McDaniels had a second interview with the Broncos last Thursday

Someone needs to bookmark this page. All of this bashing of whiners is going to come back to bite someone in the ass come April.

It won't be me.

I'm in the small group that doesn't determine draft picks busts in the first week of camp...

He has my full backing. I don't care who we draft, I trust his judgement.

People (especially online) seem to want everything NOW.

RIGHT fuckING NOW.

In a situation like this, you get the best man you can for the job... and let him handle his business.

It's not gonna be instant gratification.

There is all types of whiners on here. One group wants Stafford or no one else the other group wants a RT and Thigpen as the QB. I am sure there are other groups but those are the top 2.

Well, I was referring to the Pollard/Brady thing, but......oh well.

Which is exactly why I think that this place (generally) will turn on him.

Christ, there are people whining in another thread that Arizona has won a playoff game more recently than we have.

10 years of Top 10 draft picks will win you a few playoff games.

But you can't have an intelligent conversation with these mouth-breathers, they wanted results yesterday.

Pioli was also the pro personnel man for the Ravens, drafting Ray Lewis and Jonathan Ogden; He's legit.

I think Clark wants a young franchise QB, and so far everything Clark has said he wants to, or will do has pretty much come true.

Actually, JO was 100% Ozzie Newsome.

Everyone in the organization, from the coaches, to the scouts, to Art Modell wanted Lawrence Phillips.
