Of course I’m pleased with the winning culture that has been established, but that does not mean organizational decisions and coaching cannot come under scrutiny.
This current version of the Chiefs could arguably have appeared in the last four Superbowls but it only won one. The Hill trade is also a sign not everything is as peachy keen as fans would like to believe. Apparently Hill’s price tag was not prohibitive to KC but he left a winning culture and elite QB to go to Miami? It will be interesting to see the approach the remainder of the offseason. Questioning decisions and losses in clutch moments doesn't make me less of a fan. Blindly drinking the kool aid has never ended well for any fanbase either.

Sure the decisions can be scrutinized; but along with context should come proportional response.
The people who want to fire everybody because a draft pick didn't work out are not offering thoughtful criticism. The people who want to fire Andy Reid for any of his shortcomings are not offering thoughtful criticism because ALL coaches have shortcomings and there's literally not a better coach in football for Patrick Mahomes-so maybe people should cool their jets.
This team, as it was constructed, was in a phase of diminishing returns.
I was shocked we traded Hill. After looking at the numbers, and looking at the haul of picks, I get it, and I'm on board with the idea of a new phase. We're zigging while everyone else zags in an attempt to catch up to where we WERE. Only the people inside Arrowhead know what we will BE in September. It's going to look different.
I'm excited. I have theories, as do you all I'm sure about what we're doing, but I can't wait to see it for myself.
