we got a perfect schedule for this year!!!

[texaschief]

The Chiefs have no idea who they will have as a QB. I've said this before, but
we need to give Croyle the ball and see if the kid can play. We also need to
get as many rookie and second year players STARTING on the field as possible. I would much rather have our young players fire tested with a schedule like the 2007 schedule than get a cake schedule for these guys and let them waste it with inexperience. I am much more excited about this season and the opportunity presented to the Chiefs than i have been in a really long time. It's not filled with a false sense of optomism either!! I hope we get to see our young players step up in a rebuilding year with an awful schedule and become the future of this franchise!! Let's look at this!!:

This is what our team COULD look like if we take advantage of this season.

* - second year starters

DEFENSE:

Tamba Hali* DE
Bernard Pollard* SS
Jarrad Page* FS
Marcus Maxey* CB (if he can play AT ALL)
Derrick Johnson LB (3rd year starter)
Donnie Edwards LB
Napoleon Harris LB (6th year starter)
Jarred Allen DE (4th year player)
Alphonso Boone DT
Ron Edwards DT
CB, DT, DTThis leaves 3 positions to fill with vets like Greg Wesley, Pat Surtain, Ty Law, Ryan Sims, Kendrell Bell, Eric Hicks, Jimmy Wilkerson, Keyaron Fox and Kris Griffin. Not to mention one or maybe two of our first three round draft picks. I'm probably forgetting someone, but you get the point. we could watch this defense grow up together!!! LET THEM PLAY!!!

OFFENSE:

Brodie Croyle QB *
Larry Johnson RB (second year as starter)
Tony Gonzales TE
Chris Terry OT
Tre Stallings OG (if shields retires)
Casey Wiegman C (he won't retire yet)
Brian Waters OG
Damion Mcintosh OT
Jeff Webb WR *
Eddie Kennison WR
Samie Parker WR
Boomer Grigsby FB (3rd year player)While the offensive side of the ball is much more experienced, there is still room to infuse youth. Let Webb fly. Draft another WR and let Kennison and Dante Hall go. We've still got Rod Gardner here. He will be going into his 4th or 5th year. He was a FIRST ROUND PICK!! While Mcintosh fills a hole, he's not the stud left OT we need. We could either draft one or plug in Ramiro Pruneda from Mexico and see if he's worth the roster spot.

Bottom line, there are way too many questions on this team for us to expect a deep playoff run with the schedule we were handed this year. If we win a few games, great. I hate to see the Chiefs lose more than anything. Hell, i put a hole in my wall when the Chargers scored that 80+ TD run after the Pollard block punt the play before. Believe me, I HATE when the Chiefs lose, but we should look at this year as a developement year and look for a MONSTER season in 08. By then, we'll have at least 14 new players aquired though the draft on our roster who aren't there as of this writing. they will be in their first 2 years and our young players now will only be in thier 4th or 5th.

We also will have the option to draft a QB early in the first round of the 08 draft if Croyle doesn't pan out. This should be the focus of the Kansas City Chiefs and all Chief fans. Until we stop supporting mediocre teams, Carl is gonna keep doing business as usual and sell a crap load of tickets for a .500 ball club. As a fan base, we should cry out for a championship quality team every year but have the patience to realize that it may take a year or two to become a perenial powerhouse.

[Cisco Kid]

NICE WORK!!! Man, I'm all fired up and READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!!!

[Chiefster]

I agree; develop a real championship team. Take our lumps for a season or two, get some studs in a high draft position and a lighter schedule to develop our current players and start building some confidence; in the meantime the vets could be passing on some much needed experience. The time for quick fixes and mediocrity have got to come to an end if we are to ever get deep into the playoffs and get a shot at a championship. I'm sick to death of fielding a team that plays just good enough to get a 23 draft position.

[stlchief]

I'm not ready for lumps. Let Hermie try one season with his squad & his philosophy. Last yr doesn't count. He went 9-7 basically fielding a team he inherited. This year it is all on him. I say a few more patches and take a shot. We were not far from it last year. I think Huard in the game in Indy and a little less predictableness (is that a word?), and we would have been competetive. The D showed up. They will be better this year. I think this is the year - then if it doesn't work, rebuild and grow and take some lumps...

Yes, this is Herm's year, we will see, and predictableness works for me,
GO CHIEFS!!

Well, FWIW, I do believe this to be the game plan.

I prefer the optimism. Every team has holes. I think our season this year will be determined by how we play on the road.

I agree, there will be plenty of time for negatism if we stink after the season is almost over, but now i am looking forward to our 2007 season with the hope that beats only in the breast of Chief's Fans, GO CHIEFS!!

I'll be happy if we beat the donks, faders and Sandy Eggo, but I tend to have low expectations. :trans7: :p

[stlchief]

Before Mr. Shields departed, I thought we would take the AFC West. The raiders - well, they are the raiders and will have a rookie qb. The donks - their starting QB had a losing record, they had a losing record @ home, they lost people in free agency (and some how have 2 home Monday night games?!?!?! -- but that is another thread). the charges have a head coach with a losing record. I really thought we could take it by default. Now it all depends on filling that hole Shields left.

I think that we are clearly in a rebuilding year, and have few if any expectations for our offense.

Sure hope that is the ONLY hole that will need filling...

if we beat the faiders twice, the donks and bolts at least once it would take some of the sting off a bad year.

Yes, Wolfpack, I have refrained from saying it, but this season looks like it is gonna have me waiting a full year, for next seasons draft.

[Canada]

I know it sucks that Shields is gone...but we are still gonna kick some ***, maybe just not as hard. Who's gonna stop us...the donks? faders? no one is gonna get in our way. I am not giving up until it is over, not before it begins. If i have to play I will.

It really does suck that we didn't see Brodie at all this season. Looks like we're going to have more than 14 first, second or third year players for the 2008 season and we're going to have to wait at least another year for a monster season.
