The guidance systems on the Mars Phoenix Lander isn't too hard to fix either if you have the right engineers.

Guess what the Chiefs are missing?

Raiders are 4 years into rebuilding, still have questions all over the roster and turmoil throughout from ownership to lowest levels of coaching and you think it is better off as a franchise? The Chiefs are first year into rebuilding, played their worst game in almost two decades, were down to their third string QB, and they still had a chance to win that game down to the last two minutes. Even right now the Chiefs have more direction and fewer questions as a franchise.

In my opinion the Raiders should be much further ahead than the Chiefs at this point. With all the top 10 draft picks it speaks a lot about how crappy the Raiders are that they are still even considered in the bottom half of the league.

The problem with the offense is not just that we have the most conservative coach in the league running the team in his image, its that he let the talent level of the offense drop off the map as well. We will never really know how good Croyle is as long as he has no protection up front and only Bowe and Gonzales as target. Bowe is going through a bit of the sophomore jinx in main part because he is the only true threat this team has. I don't think there's a QB in this league that could shine with the assembled cast that we have.
I'm a believer that it all starts up front. The fact that we accepted cast offs and neverhasbeens to take over integral roles on our team brought about predictable results. I made the comment before the draft that this team was not moving to build an offensive line and got shot down for it. Looking at the results of our offseason moves, does any now doubt that we are not building an offensive line?

The Raiders are slowly getting their shit together, the chiefs haven't finished falling apart quite yet. Once LJ, waters, Edwards, Surtain, and Gonzo all retire at the end of this season because they'd rather retire than come back, then we can really rebuild.

SBR, you are right, 100%. I'm okay with Croyle as our QB, but Herm's ridiculous philosophy has finally worn me down. I will be happy when he lets the OC actually call the plays. Herm is ruining LJ. I know everyone on Chiefs Planet hates LJ, but the reason LJ never gets the rock 20 times a game and gains 150 yards is because Herman Edwards puts this team in a hole, and we have to pass 40 times to catch up. Herm Edwards is rubbish.

You're crazy.

The right side of the offensive line is ****ing pathetic.

Jones and McIntosh would not be on any other NFL squad.

That's the root of problem on offense.

Herm is the same guy that almost killed LJ by running him 30+ times a game. As long as McIntoad and Jones make up the right side of the line LJ is going to have no chance.
