It's just such a ridiculous argument. It requires that you simply have slept through the Pioli era, when everyone recognized that the problem with this team wasn't it's stars. We were going out there with 8 Pro Bowlers and losing 10 games. Everyone knew it was a complete lack of roster depth and an inability to assemble a complete team that was killing the team.
It requires that you ignore the fact that Dorsey learned under Wolf, the same Ron Wolf who's always preached about horizontal roster building and creating depth and competition everywhere.
There's simply no question that this team and this roster has gotten better every single season under Dorsey. Immensely better, in fact.
Dorsey's a very good GM. Top 5? Eh, maybe, maybe not; there's a lot of luck there. But if you simply lump them as 'good', 'solid' and 'bad', there's no question that Dorsey's in the top 1/3 there; he's a good GM.

Great point about Dorsey coming from the Wolf tree. The proof of the job he's done building this roster horizontally was in the preseason last year. We are clearly the deepest I've ever seen a Chiefs team. When was the last time our 2nd and 3rd string looked that good in the preseason?
