I'll say it. I'm not scared.
I haven't been overwhelmed with our off season acquisitions.
I'm not that excited about Cassel. I just feel there should have been more pressing needs dealt with first. There were a lot more weaknesses, in my opinion, that should have been addressed. I would have much rather kept our high second round pick.
I feel like all we have been signing have been a bunch of fringe, special team players.
I also noticed that if anyone even hints on this board that they aren't completely satisfied with all of Pioli's decisions that they are quickly shouted down and sometimes told they are not true Chiefs fans.
Get excited if you want, but I'm not drinking the kool-aid yet.
How do you feel?

First, I would really love to go back through your post and fix the atrocious spelling and grammatical errors, but, alas, I have to be to work in thirteen hours. Second, I do not take offense from morons. Tim, do you really have nothing else to do? Are you so sad and pathetic that it actually makes you feel better about yourself to come here again and again just to spout off nonsensical ramblings? Putting that to the side, you really, really need to come to this year's home opener. I know a really big Canadian that is just dying to meet you.

Wanna know the big difference in what you said vs actually making a point?
If you were to say that we need a pass rushing defensive end cause we had the worst sack total in league history then that is a fact and pointing out a need that the Chiefs have.
Saying that we are one of four crappy teams is not a fact. It is not constructive, it is someone bashing on the Chiefs for no apparent reason other than to say the Chiefs suck.
I have never gotten on anyones case about comments that are true or constructive, but I have always had something to say about people who mindlessly bash the Chiefs. And here you are again, fighting for your right to bash your favorite team!!![]()

I can't see how anyone can be diappointed in the chiefs off season. After all CP is gone, at the least we have hope. Weather that hope is fullfilled, we'll just have to wait and see.
Am I suprised we haven't signed at least a starting center and a starting DE, you bet.
On the other hand I believe our other transactions have been smart football decsions. Varbel is a proven starter and will be a very good leader and mentor for our defense. Engram will give us another solid reciever and good mentor for D. Bowe. Cassel gives us two good young QB's, hopefully competing for the starting job.
All the other players signed gives us depth and all are very good special teams players. Better field position makes us better on offense and defense.
Paoli has a proven track record at building TEAMS, we have too trust that he can do that for the chiefs.
I don't believe any of the really good coaches in the history of the NFL have been NICE people when thier teams and players weren't performing. They got in players and coaches faces and got thier oints across. I believe Haley is cut from the same mold. We've had Vermel, who gave us a great offense and no defense and Edwards, who gave us no offense, no defense and no special teams, both nice guys and could't get the job done. WE've got new management and they're going to do things thier way. Let's give them our support and belive in thier way and hopefully they can turn the Chiefs into consistant Super Bowl contenders.

The reason is because Pioli's only two months into the job. He inherited a team with needs at every position. A team like the Redskins could sign a guy like Haynesworth to a massive contract and say, with a straight face, that they're only one player away. We could have blown our entire cap on expensive, mediocre free agents, even good ones like Bart Scott, Jason Brown, Canty, etc., and it wouldn't have gotten us anywhere.
We can only draft one guy per draft pick, by the way. And odds are 1 in 2 that he'll bust. We got two starters (our QBOTF and defensive captain no less) with ours this year. It's the best move the Chiefs have made in the past dozen years.
In the past two months we've bolstered our depth, our special teams, our QB position, our LBs, and our WR corps. And we did it all for a 2nd round pick and for less than they cost of signing Bart Scott. What is there not to like so far?

People who think that either didn't watch enough Chiefs games last year, or didn't watch enough Pats games last year.
I like Thigpen as our backup and as a gadget guy. Maybe even as a slot receiver some downs. But people who think that he's going to be a better QB than Cassel need to watch more gametape.
So Chris, what makes you the biggest Chiefs fan? Haing doubts does not make you a worse or better fan. There is nothing wrong with questioning the direction of the team. Prough does not mindlessly bash the team like some people do. Those are the fans that you should be questioning. Why wouldnt people question a team that went 2-14 last year. Some of us are more optimistic than others and it does not make anyone better fans than the other. If people dont question things then nothing ever gets changed but you picked the wrong guy to call out being a Chiefs fan. I have known Prough for a couple of years and he bleeds just as red as the next Chiefs fan. I would watch who you call out before you end up looking like an a$s.![]()
