Then those players would go back to Andy Reid and play good again.
There was always this impression that the Eagles and Andy, wouldn't over spend for their own players as they felt it was more about their system than the individual players.
From what I read, the downfall of Andy in Philly was ownership was getting more involved in the GM aspect of things and were forcing his hand with certain players, like making the decision on his QB for him by keeping Vick and I could tell you that Vick and his turn overs was the single reason the Eagles Struggled to win his last two years leading up to Andy's release.
So I am not really sure Andy is different. I just think the Chiefs are letting him run the team the way he wants to, which is why they hired a GM after Andy so that they were compatible in the decision making.
