It's pretty clear what "went down".
Typical quote from an insular Chiefs fan.
You guys wonder why other teams are having better, quicker success (along with Super Bowl appearances and victories) than the Chiefs every year.
The Chiefs hire a guy that was more scout than GM, won a bunch of regular season games, was fired and now, he's impossible to replace.
This type of dumbassery is maddening.

Ok, fine, we know what went down. I guess what I mean is that unless I'm actually witnessing how things happen and what the environment was actually like, I tend to be skeptical about second hand opinions.
For my part, I don't wonder why other teams have quicker success than us. It comes down to QB. Name one team that has had quicker and more success than us with a worse QB. This is not me bitching about Smith, simply stating the fact that it is an accepted fact that Smith is not as good of a QB as Peyton Manning, Russel Wilson, and maybe Dak Prescott. What other team has had more quick success than we have had except for the Broncos, Seahawks and Cowboys? Those teams had a good supporting cast that just needed a spark at QB to really take off. I'm giving Reid and Dorsey equal credit for turning the team around. Dorsey got guys who could play and Reid coached them up.
I'm not saying he's irreplaceable, just that his record is good enough that firing him now, during an unusual time to fire a GM, based on the reasons that have been suggested by reporters seems like an overreaction. If Dorsey goes for more than a year without getting another crack at GM or returning to GB to wait out Thompson, I will be surprised and will say that Chiefs' fans take on his skills as a GM were incorrect. If he was as bad at the non-scouting part of being a GM as is being suggested then there is no way any team should ever consider him for GM again. We are basically saying that no amount of success in the draft can overcome the negatives he carries with him as a GM.
