Who Should Be The Next GM Of The Kansas City Chiefs? - Arrowhead Addict - A Kansas City Chiefs Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more
BESIDES Marty who sticks out to you. I dont really keep up with GM names but most of them tend to be a high level guy and gotta say he seems more realistic than Marty coming back.
It's not happening so don't waste your time!
You dont think we can get him or that Pioli wont go...Quote:

Moot point. Uf he isn't gone yet he probably won't be. Unfortunetly....
we won't see a mid season move, depending on how we do the rest of the season [like no improvement] he may get axed after.
I don't know why everyone thinks that any old coach would make a good GM. Promoting an old HC has failed more times than it has worked. Head Coaches are good evaluators of talent and can coach that talent up, but they are not the one's coaching are they. Then there are the HC/GM dual roles that alway seem to fail, because the HC duties takes away from the GM duties.
Chances are the next qualified GM is someone on anothers teams back office that most of us have no clue of their qualifications to make an honest opinion either way.
I would think we would have a better chance signing a NFL super agent like Drew Rosenhaus than any ex-coach or player. But that would probably be a pay cut for him.
Marty.
My only problem with Pioli is his handling of our HC position.
I was not Todd Haley's biggest supporter, but he had earned the job.through last season, and into.this one. Plus, Pioli seemed to be interfering with Haley's offense, which.seems to.have been the problem between him and Haley.
And then there is the current situation, which is a direct result of that issue, aside from being his decision.
I like the talent on this team, for the most part. So I see plenty of value.in Pioli as a GM. He just needs to get the coaching situation under control.
I agree 100%Quote:

Marty would be intresting to me. I would support that.
PIOLI!!! I want him to have a fair opportunity to finish what he began. I for one, believe he is the best GM available to build a long term contender in KC. I don't want short term patches, a one season hit wonder...I want a dynasty!
Fans are judging Pioli by a QB issue only, they're not seeing the improvements he's made overall to the team & franchise from a business perspective. A GM's role is complex, much more complex than what fans see on the field only.
I've talked to several former Chiefs players recently about the current issues. They all feel our roster talent has us close, though some do agree we need to improve our QB position. Some feel that will be taken care of when the opportunity is FEASIBLE, which it's not been. We didn't stand a chance in hell of drafting Luck or RGIII. Skins gave up 5 picks to trade up, including 3 or 4 First Round picks...that's one hell of a risk on a QB unproven in the NFL. A rookie with a history of previous injury, also, that caused him to miss an entire season, his junior year, I believe it was.
It takes an average of 3-5 years for a new GM to have success after re-building, and 5 yrs. is the greater average. Pioli is only in his 4th year, which isn't complete. We realistically have not had any feasible opportunities to draft or sign a FA QB proven better than Cassel since 2009. At best, they were equivalent. Manning wasn't a solution, he was a one season fix, and he's had inconsistent games in Denver. He's 37 yrs. old, bad knees & neck, facing a 5th neck surgery to remove bone spurs by his own admission.
It took Bill Cowher 13 seasons with the Steelers before he won his one Super Bowl. Wouldn't it be a shame if we were close as many pro analysts believe, with the most talented young roster in the NFL...& we fired the man who brought us that close. Pioli re-signed key FA's, like Hali, DJ, Flowers, Charles...retaining roster talent & bringing in young new talent. Starting over again at this critical point in time is not a solution.
It's been proven that teams which have changed staff every few years (less than 5)...fail more than succeed. Change isn't always a good thing, it's been shown that frequent change can stunt or hinder a teams success. Consistency on staff & roster are a important factor with long term consistency as contenders. An impatient fan base cuts off it's nose to spite it's face some times.
Pioli isn't responsible for years of losing...he only came here in 2009, not 1999.
Additional thoughts; A rookie QB takes an average of 3-5 years to evolve before his full potential can be judged as bust or success in the NFL. It took Peyton Manning 7 years after he was drafted in 1998 before he won his first playoff game...SEVEN YEARS! Yes, there are exceptions, such as Tom Brady, but not every QB drafted has that quick playoff success.
Brady Quinn; fans want a first round pick, well...he is one! He could be a diamond in the rough, since many pro analysts feel he's not had a fair opportunity since being drafted as a first round pick. No one succeeds in Cleveland. Elway wanted to jump on the Tebow love fest of media attention, which was VERY beneficial public relations & fan relations. Tebow wasn't better than Quinn, but he benefited Elway on the business side of the game more than Brady would've, so that's who Elway chose to start. He knew it was only for a year, then he'd dump Tebow. Truth be told, the rumors are probably true that Elway & Manning began talking behind closed doors months before it was made public Manning would leave the Colts. They're good friends, & have been for a while. Mannings closest personal friend lives in Denver too, Brandon Stokley, who Elway signed with Manning.
The biggest problem with Quinn will be our impatient fan base. According to NFL QB research I've done...it takes a QB an average of 36 starts to work out the kinks through trial & error. Our fan base as it is today...will be calling for Quinn's head after one bad game. Their impatience & frustration built up from years of no playoff wins...will be taken out on Brady before he's given a fair amount of time to show whether or not he's a first round diamond. Fair amount of time to evolve...36 starts. Some don't take that long, but most do.
Keep dreaming. Not going to happen. He has no integrity whatsoever. This article is all the proof anyone needs:Quote:

So is this audio segment of Jason Whitlock and Kent Babb:
Real Talk with Jason Whitlock, On Demand - Fox Sports Radio
I'm going to put it to you bluntly because I'm not a man to pull punches, but you're starting to sound like if Pioli ever comes to a sudden halt, your face is going to go halfway up his A$$.
wooohoo first post from my new transformer infinity with keyboard dock....no more crappy spelling for me boys and girls..
Well it's about time. Board management will soon convene to discuss the possibility of re-instating your membership in good standing. j/k :DQuote:

IF Pioli stays he should have to get rid of the coaching staff AGAIN. He is def not a good evaluator of coaches.Quote:

Matthew in fairness that Twitlock / Babb link is 90% Kent giving his views. It's worth a listen.Quote:

That's pure absolute BULLSH!T !! Fans are NOT judging him only by the QB. They ARE looking at the bigger picture.Quote:

The Chiefs are right back to where they were in 2008 after 4 years of Pioli & if you take away the players that were drafted by Carl/Herm/Vermeil from this 2012 squad, then this years squad is even worse than the 2008 squad. He has NOT improved the team -- the results on the field don't lie.
Everybody is fully aware that being a GM is a complex job -- what's being said is he isn't up to the task. He has no credentials for the job other than he married Bill Parcell's daughter.
Pioli has done nothing except embarrass the Chiefs franchise.
You've already had it pointed out to you that the Chiefs had the feasible opportunity to draft Andy Dalton. What part of that didn't you get?Quote:

Piloi isn't a GM...he's a politician.
Manning can still play QB better than any QB on the Chiefs roster & if can play 2-3 years for you while you draft & groom his successor, then he's worth having. This is precisely what Denver is doing & I'm willing to bet they will benefit long-term from this more than people may think. Common sense ought to tell you that.Quote:

As I said before, if you take away the players that were drafted by Carl/Herm/Vermeil from this team, then the talent ISN'T there.
See above examples with SEA, CHI, SF, and 1989 Chiefs that prove your statement to be BS.Quote:

Sorry, but a blind man with a cane can see through that one. The fans that want him gone are simply looking at things with diplomacy and are not letting sentiment get in the way of their judgement....that's the difference. As I said before they are quite correct to hold him accountable for what he's done and what he's failed to do.
You are going way out of context with this one to try to defend him. What Pioli is being held accountable for, is the fact that there has been no progress since his arrival regarding the Chiefs ability to contend with the NFL's top teams. They can't even compete with the league's average to mediocre teams right now and are the laughing stock of the NFL....that's not progress, that's regression.Quote:

You are right. We'll have to see how Osweiler pans out. But he does, at least, appear to be a better prospect to take over the reins than Sorgi, Painter and Orvlovsky were in Indy.Quote:

Lets not forget we had a GM in the wings here in Emery and we let him go to Chicago.
If Quinn doesnt win us many games and we end up 4 wins or under I think he will go. If Quinn brings the team back (a little late now) we might win a few more... enough for GM and HC to keep their job another year, us out of getting a QB... then another year of backup QB plays :(
Bill Polian. I heard him on ESPN today about trades he would make around the NFL and the guy knows what he's talking about. I was impressed.
If we have enough losses to draft geno/barkley without trading up imo he will be fired.
