Yeah, you can win a SB as a WC if you have elite QB play. Welp...

2013 "feels" like 1989 to me. It doesn't "feel" like 2001 or 2006 or 2009. I've been fooled in the past, by Levy (he won in the CFL!) and especially with the Mackovic hire (Oh, well he was Tom Landry's "Right Hand Man!"). But I wasn't fooled by Gansz, wasn't fooled by Gunther, wasn't fooled by Vermeil and wasn't fooled by Pioli's bunch. I could be wrong and maybe I'm being fooled again. But right now, I think they've made some solid moves and I'm hopeful. Check back next Spring. |

Besides, the only thing Carl ever built was something that clearly wasn't good enough.

As a fan that's nearly 2,000 miles from KC that's watched a horrible team for the better part of 15 years, my hope is a consistently competitive football team. Championships aside, this team hasn't won a playoff game in more than 20 years. I'm worn out. I'm spent. I drove all over Los Angeles to watch the Chiefs on a 19" TV for a decade and spent more than $3,000 dollars on the Sunday Ticket in the past 10 years, not to mention travel to other cities, only to watch them lose. A playoff win would be nice. Ugh. |

For something completely different that this franchise hasn't done in 30 years is draft a first round QB. We average a new QB every 3-4 years and one playoff win with Joe ****ing Montana. **** the retreads. Draft and see if we can develop a QB worth a shit to take us to the promise land.

He got ****ed over by the player strike. I still believe, had he not been fired after a strike year, fielding a team of terrible replacement players, and allowed to continue his rebuild of that team after the strike, that he would have been successful over the long term in Kansas City.

I liked Levy but I do believe he had a fair opportunity in KC. I know that Lamar Hunt said his biggest regret was firing Marv, but I also believe that Marv wouldn't have had the success he had in Buffalo without the growing pains he experienced in KC (and to a lesser degree, the USFL). He had a helluva coaching staff, especially offensively, in Buffalo. |

He was hired onto a team that was complete shit. Last year was the worst year I can remember, but that's because this team had better talent overall than a 2-14 record would indicate. But that was the product of piss poor coaching and QB play. Those teams in the early 80s had some of the worst football players we've ever seen in our lives.

And just for the record, I wasn't then or am now "Anti-Marv", although I don't think that he would have had the same results in KC as he had in Buffalo, mainly due to Jim Schaaf. |

But outside of DT, the core group of players that Marty had his early success with wer the players drafted by Schaaf.
