The kid sounds good to me.
Bonus playing for Chan too!
I think we got one here. Cox will undoubtedly win the job. His experience in Gailey's system will give him the leg up and it's crazy to think we're going to get another starter that was an undrafted free agent or low round draft pick.

Brackenridge
Webb
Stallings
Cox
Could all be starters who were picked up in the 6th round or later.
5 out of 22 starters isn't too bad.
This just keeps getting better. I am ready for some football!!
GO CHIEFS!!!

The flip side to that coin is that 5 players are good enough to walk on to our team and start. I'm not sure that speaks kindly to the program.Quote:

We wouldn't have that problem if we had drafted better earlier this decade....but, no. Herm was left with a team of old past super stars and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round busts.Quote:

You can get all over Dick and his drafting, but he has won more with his style of football than Herm has with his.Quote:

The guy had a good run, and I for one appreciate what he did for the Chiefs as an organization and for what he did for the fans.
He is getting up there in years, and decided to go ahead and leave the organization to spend time with his family and I don't blame him for that, nor the position the Chiefs are in right now.

But if you don't blame him for the position the Chiefs are in right now, you're blind. He and Peterson ran this team ragged and he abandoned ship before it went down. He saw this team get old and peaced out for the next coach to take the blame.....guess it worked.
Well he got good players to win games while he was here, and he had done it before.Quote:

Yeah...one super star he and CP tripped on, the other he didn't even want....Quote:

Thank GOD he's not drafting for us anymore.
HH, this isn't even debatable. He was horrible in the draft and there's no reason you need to try and defend him. It's a fact that EVERY SINGLE ONE of his drafts were busts with the exception of 7 or so players out of 6 years.
That isn't successful drafting no matter how you try to spin it.
I am not attempting to prove that his drafting was successful.Quote:

Are you saying that Herm is a genius for taking the job, or just ambitious?

Vermeil was dealing from a position of strength. He was able to trade away players who were drafted before he got here to obtain players like Roaf. Waters, Shields, Weigman, Gonzo, and John Tait were all in place before he got here.Quote:

Vermeil didn't HAVE to rebuild an entire defense and offense in 2 years. He already had the most dominant line in the NFL in place.
He brought in Trent and traded for Horn for Roaf after Tait left.
Other than that, what did the guy do besides install a high scoring offense and a high yielding defense?
Tell me what Herm has had on this team that even comes close to resembling a dominant portion of the team. Vermeil already had the offensive players he needed and a middle of the pack defense....Herm wasn't left with SH@#.
He was left with JA and LJ. Two players who want out, one we should've traded and one we finally DID trade....that's it. Thank GOD the guy can find talent or we'd be even more fu%$# than we already are.
