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 not that hard to find... 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.
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.

Jesus Christ...at least wait till the end of the season to pass judgement and THEN say "See if we would have spent more monies..."
We haven't played a damn game yet....hell, the draft is still 5 weeks away and everyone is writing this team off already.
It's comical all of the chicken littles in this thread...
