The core players who make up the identity of the team are on the wrong side of thirty (LJ, Gonzo, and Waters). We have decent to good young players in Thigpen, Albert, Bowe, Bradley, DJ, Flowers, Carr, and Leggett. We have project players in Cottam, Charles, Robinson, and Dorsey. Am I wrong that we need new starters at the eleven positions I stated? Do you want to go into next season with Jones, McIntosh, Hali, Tank, Boone, Boiman, Niswanger, etc. as our starters?
Do you think rebuilding is holding onto a malcontent RB on the wrong side of 30 who's an infraction away from a year long suspension? Or Surtain, DeMorrio Williams, Donnie Edwards, Devard Darling, Damon Huard, Page, and Webb? Are any of these guys part of the Chiefs long term future?
Right now, on our team, the only players that we drafted who are of any use are Carr, Flowers, Pollard, Bowe, and Albert. We have mostly terrible starters on our OL and front seven, which are the most crucial positions on a team after QB. Chan Gailey has turned lead into gold on offense and made up for our OL weaknesses by running the spread. Our defense is getting torched by every decent QB who tries because we can't get a pass rush.
How, exactly, does what I'm suggesting (cutting old, overpriced, useless players, drafting well, and signing good young players) differ from how good teams are built? Why don't you think about it for a while before mouthing off again.
Again, you don't know what you're talking about. Even though texaschief is wrong about most things, at least he knows something about football. You apparently don't.
