What I dont know and what we all dont know is whether he can do in KC what he did in NE, there are many factors on why NE is good and has been good for almost the last decade. First and most important being they lucked out and found a late round gem which happened to turn into a HOF QB.

That hardly ever happens. And you can bet NE didn't draft Brady in the 6th rd thinking that he would soon one day replace Drew Bledsoe as the starter for many years to come.

We don't know what went on in their draft room. We dont know really who had more say in player personnel.

Really the only assumption we are making is that The Pats had good drafts and were Super good during the time Pioli was their GM, so that must mean Pioli can do the same in KC.

We have no way in knowing that. ATL hired Rich McKay, at the time was NFL's best GM because of how he turned the Buccs into SB champs and competitive. Rich McKay didn't do anything in ATL

There are many holes on this team before we can even be called a mediocre team. What happens if Pioli comes in and fires Herm and hires a new coach that is a 3-4 guy? we don't have 3-4 personnel. That alone would set us back for 3-4 years. Waters and TonyG are all gone by that time so those are 2 huge holes that we have to address.

I do know one thing. Bill Belehick is a great coach. And he coaches the games, not Pioli. He has a say in what kinda players he wants because he know what he needs in order to succeed. Something Herm doesn't know because Herm is reeruned and doesn't know why hes even coaching in the NFL other than he's black.

Well, see the bolded part...that can be said about any draft pick you bring in too. This guy has a track record that would lend credence that he is a good bet as a potentially great GM. I hope we take that bet...
