Face it: There is no "hidden" talent on this team. There's no "Jared Allen" in waiting and there certainly not a Neil Smith or Derrick Thomas just waiting to receive better coaching. Guys like that, impact guys don't need coaching. You just turn them loose. The Chiefs don't have that right now on defense and the greatest D-line coach or defensive coordinator in the world wouldn't be able to create a guy like that with the existing talent. |

I think we should pick up Sproles, have him split time with Charles, and pick up a bruiser back somewhere. I'm an advocate of a RB committee. It keeps RBs fresh and decreases wear, and tear.

So you're going to wait 3 years before getting someone who can get after the QB? Our defense is young I'd say it's not bad to have a couple of veterans on the defense. Peppers still has time to be productive so I think it'd be a good signing.

Sproles is not going anywhere. SD needs him to help take teh load off of LT next season.

You think the Chargers won't re-sign him? It'd be smart if they kept him over LT. Do we pick up a big back in free agency or in the draft?

If the Chiefs can acquire three impact players in the 2009 off-season, I'd be pleased as punch. And how I can I rate Thigpen as below average? Well, when a QB's numbers fall off drastically in the second half of 9 consecutive games and during that time, the same QB wins only one start, I'd say he'd be considered below average at this point in time. Additionally, he hasn't proven he can play under center effectively, which by my estimation, is pretty important. |

Really? How can you say that? There are guys in this league that are passed over time after time, then for some reason, it clicks. James Harrison of the Steelers is a perfect example. The good thing is, these guys are ALL young. How many players have looked like dogshit in their first 2-3 years, then all of a sudden "got it?" It happens all the time. If these guys were 8-10 year veterans, then yeah, I'd say we've probably seen what they really are. |

There is no way to fix the defense unless we get a good defense pass rushing end. Dorsey even if he was good couldnt do it by himself. We need ends in the worst way. We set the damned record that a team that played 14 games set. Yet we did it in 16 games. PATHETIC!
I am ok with not drafting a qb this draft. I wont be made if we get one, but we do need help on the dline really really bad. |

Just speculation on my part, but we know they are not going to franchise him, and that sends him to the highest bidder. A bruiser can be found just about anywhere. FAcy, or the latter rnds of the draft.

610 said we offered Pioli the job but 2 things....
1. He wants to be paid like the top GM in the league. 2. He wants total control. |

Pioli wants total control over football operations not business. Why wouldn't we give him total control of the football side?
