How many GMs have won more Super Bowls (or been to more Super Bowls) this decade than Scott Pioli? I count zero.
How many GMs have won more playoff games than Pioli this decade (or during any decade in NFL history)? I count zero. In fact Pioli has won more playoff games with the Patriots since 2001 (14) than the Chiefs have won in their entire franchise history.
How many GMs can boast the ability to effectively blend the utilization of the draft and free agency as well as Pioli has with the Patriots, drafting the likes of Tom Brady, Dan Koppen, Matt Light, Logan Mankins, Asante Samuel, Vince Wilfork, Ty Warren, Richard Seymour, Jerod Mayo and Deion Branch, and signing/trading for impact free agents such as Rodney Harrison, Mike Vrabel, Wes Welker, Adalius Thomas, Randy Moss and Corey Dillon? I count zero.
How many GMs can say they were voted Executive of the Year 4 different times this decade by major media outlets/organizations such as The Sporting News (voted by NFL executives), SI, USA Today, Pro Football Weekly and the NFLPA? I count zero.
Scott Pioli is the cream of the crop when it comes to current GMs in this league, yet certain elements of the fanbase want the Chiefs to settle for second or third best. I don't understand why. It is that simple.
