QB Tyler Thigpen - Strongly disagree. Thigpen played better than anyone expected but hasn't done enough to warrant any long-term plans.
TE Cottam - Agree. Cottam looked great in limited opportunities. Doubtful he could replace Tony but, who could? In any case, if Gonzalez leaves I have no problem penciling-in Cottam as the starter for the next 4-6 years.
WR Dwayne Bowe - Disagree strongly. Bowe may or may not ever reach the probowl, he almost certainliy won't be considered for the HOF because he isn't a burner and he drops too many passes. Bowe would be a great #2 but he's a mediocre #1.
CB Brandon Flowers - Strongly agree. Flowers did an amazing job this year with no effing help.
CB M. Leggett - Disagree somewhat. Leggett is a good/maybe great nickel or dime CB but probably not a starter. It's great we have him now but he isn't somebody you build a team around.
LB Derrick Johnson - Somewhat disagree- DJ is a solid linebacker who gives us 1 or 2 great performances a year but looks pretty average for extended periods. I do hold out hope that new coaches and schemes can make him more effective but, to date, he hasn't been special.
DT Glenn Dorsey - At this point, who knows?
DE Tamba Hali - Strongly disagree. Hali is average to below average in general terms and a certifiable bust in relation to his draft status. We absolutely have to replace him.
S Pollard/Page - Somewhat disagree. Page and Pollard have been ok but they are not players to build a team around.
By the way, when people say the team is devoid of talent I would think they are referring to specific positions. QB and DE and the most important positions in today's NFL and we have nothing at those positions.

Well I can at least respect someone who has put some thought into why the Chiefs are lacking talent. I don't agree for reasons already stated, but I certainly respect some real thinking going on. More than 90% of the attempts in this thread. Example:
