Oak. Cle. Buff. Jets. Chiefs.
Not a franchise qb on any of them. Thanks for the research in proving how valuable the qb is otwp Posted via Mobile Device |

So, we are a talented team, just like Jax, Oakland, and Buffalo?
I agree that there is in general a sentiment that we are a talented team, but if we are now agreeing that all the teams in the NFL are "talented" than I guess that doesn't leave us very well off.

Talent level on this team, outside the Herm players, is about average.
That's not nearly good enough when your QB is utter shit.

And the talent level on teams such as Buffalo, Oakland, Jacksonville, etc is well below average, their QB play is utter shit, yet they've won as many games as we have over the past 4 years.

I would agree on only one of the original points. The Chiefs do have more talent than those other teams. The only thing that Pioli has done well is retain most of the talent he inherited. The players in general have not been coached up by our coaches. DJ is an exception. Houston is an exception.
Pioli has brought in only 2 impact players through the draft. Pioli is also responsible for bringing in the coaches, setting a dictatorial atmosphere and an inability to see that having Cassel as the only option was a huge mistake.

Sadly, I think guys like Fitzpatrick and Henne are better than Cassel. Palmer certainly is.
We're splitting hairs, though. This isn't, and never was, one of the best rosters in the NFL. It's near league average, give or take.

Henne covers something like 6 games. Christ, Jacksonville pulled a guy off a ****ing tractor a few years back. So again... KC's QB play is at least as good, if not better than these teams from 2009-2012. KC's coaching is at least as good, of not better. KC's so-called talent level is supposedly leaps and bounds ahead of Buffalo, Oakland, Cleveland, Miami and Jacksonville - yet it hasn't translated into more wins. Why? Hint: It's because this roster isn't as talented as people think it is. |

A league average team with a franchise QB can compete for a title. A league average team with Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn coached by Romeo Crennel can compete for a #1 pick.

Don't really give a shit about how much or how little talent there is on the team. Get a QB, THEN go bitch about how Kendrick Lewis isn't good enough. |

Do you agree or disagree with my assessment of the following players:
Albert (if healthy) is a solid LT. Bowe is a fringe #1 WR (true #1 WR are rare, just like true #1 pitchers are rare in MLB--not all teams have them.) Hali is a solid OLB. Houston is a solid OLB. DJ is a solid ILB. Flowers is a solid corner. Charles is a ****ing beast. That's a pretty talented core, IMO, and those positions are pretty tough to fill. A competent GM could supplement this talent pretty quickly, IMO, but it all hinges on first getting the QB. |

Yes. I would agree with that assessment. EDIT: This is the same core (minus Houston) we all thought would be easy to build around in 2009. Yet four years later, we've won 23 games in four years. Because we don't have much talent outside the core. |
