Waters WILL retire. You're crazy to think he'll come back for another year of this. Herb is only good by comparison - he's shown nothing to show that he can be a legitimate LT for 16 games. He would be a service 6th OL, but given the chance, I'd rather have Gross at LT and Colombo (why the dislike for him?) at RT, with Herb backing both up. We need to sign an additional LG after Waters retires, and move Albert to RG. Niswanger is OK at C, but he's not in the top 10 by any means.
You can't really believe the crazy things you're saying, right? The Chiefs need a massive overhaul. Your plan of sticking with Croyle, keeping the current OL (+1), trading for LBs, and in general maintaining the status quo is pretty obviously not going to work.
It stinks that we've wasted the past two years on a failed "rebuilding" project, but that is the way it is. You can avoid reality, or you can admit that we need to fix what's broken.
