Ego Mc****stick, on the other hand, never had any usefulness. He's been nothing but a damaging shitheel for his entire time here. This franchise is no more respected league/nation-wide than the 2-14 joke he took over. At least most people understood that the 2-14 squad was rebuilding (and managed to develop a hell of a lot of talent in the process).
Carl took over a moribund franchise, turned them around immediately and raised expectations to a level he was never able to live up to. He created the "Arrowhead experience". He just never got over the hump and eventually started to believe some of his own hype. Absolute power corrupted and we turned on him. He reached the limit of his utility - a good, but not great general manager.
Pioli, OTOH, isn't worth a shit. Hasn't ever been worth a shit and hasn't done a thing for this franchise. Unlike Peterson who is the reason many of us believe the Chiefs deserve more, Pioli's done nothing but hurt this franchise from day 1.

There's something for your treadmill, Scott. Hope you've warmed up those chair-throwing arms.
