If you are basing this off your experience playing Madden, give this regime some time...1 season is too early to write them off.
Christ people...give them the benifit of the doubt.

I'm basing it off three things:
1) Being a Chiefs fan and seeing the way this franchise operates and has operated in the salary cap era. The ownership group has remained the same. We have seen three different GMs in the free agent era, and NOT ONE has been aggressive in manipulating the cap through signing bonuses to sign elite talent to fill key spots, even when in "win now" mode. They DO NOT deserve the benefit of the doubt in this arena.
2) Following the NFL closely and reading everything I can find about front-office tactics, especially roster construction (in case you hadn't noticed from the baseball threads, I follow front office moves/player acquisition tactics and strategies pretty closely). It's honestly information that's not that hard to find, if you have an interest... there's a reason some teams can always work around the cap and sign key players even without a huge amount of cap space, while the Chiefs cannot.
3) Work experience. I've never worked in an NFL front office, but I was an editor at a national sports publication, editing primarily NFL and MLB articles.
Look, I get it. Some people are willing to believe blindly in this front office because it is the Chiefs front office. Based on your man-love of Bray, it seems like you fall at least partially into that camp.
Some of us are not. Some require evidence of competence from this franchise at this point, since it has so rarely been displayed over the past four decades.
