Everytime somebody says, "No, the talent actually sucks on this team" you get to ask them what we need to replace.
Is it Bowe? No. Is it Albert? No. Is it our passrushers? No. Is it our RB? No. Is it our starting CB? No. (especially was not the case when Carr was still here) We're talking about upgrades at WR2, TE, one or two spots in the back 8, and a defensive line that needs to be re-evaluated. That's a list you won't find on any Super Bowl teams, but give me a ****ing break if it's this insurmountable task that we will be lucky to get half completed. And let's not act like if Geno Smith and our new HC work out that anybody will give a flying **** about those positions listed. The QB masks about 70% of a teams problems if he's legit. So let's get the legit QB and worry about everything else at a later time. |

I'm saying that a franchise QB isn't going to make enough of a difference all by himself. Some of you seem to think this is a championship-caliber roster just missing a franchise QB. It's far from that, and 23 wins in 4 years - as many as Cleveland, Buffalo, Oakland, Miami and Jacksonville - who are also missing a QB and according to most don't have the talent we do. Let's use Oakland again. Their QB situation has been even worse than ours over the past 4 years. Coaching has been abysmal. Ownership as well. 98% of this board would say we have a TON more talent than Oakland. Why do they have more wins in the last 4 years? Hint: Because we're not as talented a roster as some of you think. |

There's work to be done, sure. The point is that if teams like the Colts can draft a QB and get some other good players in the draft/free agency to fill in gaps, why the **** can't we? Answer: Because we're the Chiefs and nothing ever goes right and we'll always be terrible boo hoo hoo I'm tired of that ****ing attitude. It's possible to be realistic and still optimistic for the future. |

SERIOUS contention. Too many people here are content with winning 8 or 9 games. Jesus Christ himself at QB doesn't make this roster a Super Bowl champion - and that's all that matters. Of course a franchise QB will make a huge difference. But until we start drafting better and signing solid FA's and not slapdicks, we're not going to become a consistent contender. |

It is going to take time. Too many people think this roster as it stands is just missing a QB. |

You come out of the next draft with a QB, WR, CB. Sign a free agent FS , grab some decent dlinmen and see what happens.

No.
We need to fix the defensive line and find a CB who isn't a burn magnet before the defense is legit. We basically have no idea about this defense in real games vs real teams because they haven't been in the situation but once, and they gave up 30 points (2010 Ravens playoff game). Does anyone think for a moment that if we were contending this year that Jalil Brown would not be a ****ing liability in a playoff game?

Jalil has been playing better as of late, but he needs to be upgraded.
Take the dline. Have them 1 gap with Poe, Powe, Pitoatua, Bailey, draft pick 1, free agent 1. |

It's not as bad as it looks. Like I said, it's a much better position than most GMs walk into. |

Their QB situation has been just as bad or worse. You say we have more talent. 2 fewer wins over 4 years. |
