It's funny, you want the Chiefs to act like the Patriots when one team has been to the AFC Championship 8 straight times and the other has been to ONE since before Ronald Reagan was president.
The Chiefs being a "good" organization is HOW they're going to be hoisting a Lombardi trophy. They need OUTSIDE help. They need to attract free agents and new defensive coaches. The Patriots promote from within. They bring in players that want to win championships. They can get away with doing what they do. The Chiefs can't, at least not yet.

How is no accountability a "good look" in terms of helping the overall cause. Players flock to NE not just because of Brady, BB, and good statistical odds. They ALSO go there because they KNOW that if NE has expressed an interest, that:
A) That player must be considered a very valuable asset whom NE believes can help them win, because...
B) NE doesn't dick around when it comes to bringing in talent, and that player knows he will be surrounded with OTHER genuine assets and NO FILLER.
There's no comfort or mercy in Foxborough. And while I agree that the Chiefs can not yet go FULL "boot camp", they COULD at least begin making steps in that direction, the RIGHT direction.
Such as IMMEDIATELY letting go of a guy that was given EVERY CHANCE IN THE WORLD to succeed, some would say MORE time than he deserved, and in the end could not do better than a defense ranked #31 overall.
