Furthermore, you seem to be conflating strides with "wins".
Mike Brown doesn't help this team make strides by stubbornly starting him when he's costing the team games.
Mike Vrabel doesn't help this team make strides when he continues to start and get decimated every week.
Mike Goff and Rudy Niswanger don't help this team "make strides" when they are veterans with no upside.
At what point does "leadership" become less important than losing games because of poor tackles, or putting points on the other team's board because you can't execute a shotgun snap to a quarterback?

Dude. For crying out loud ... go get some panties that fit. You're scaring the neighbors.
I'm not really merging or combining or confusing the concepts of wins or strides or anything else. Actually, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything ... anyhow ...
Every person you mention is part of the problem. Not part of the solution. Are you Google converting my nice, English posts into Swahili or something? Let me try once again ... try to remain calm ...
1) Leadership is very important in any enterprise. As a person interested in history, you should know this ... the Army figured it out a long time ago.
2) The team was and is bad ... very bad. Again, you cannot turn a team like this around in a brief time. There are problems everywhere and, because football is a team game, those problems affect every other individual player's performance.
3) Pioli and Haley are rookies in their roles. It will take time for them to acclimate, organize, and implement their plans. Rightly or wrongly, it is too early to tell whether or not they are taking us in the best direction.
4) This team was undisciplined. As a fan of the Chiefs, I'm pleased to see Haley bring that needed discipline to the franchise. And, it was sorely needed. It is this kind of foundation that, if Haley is successful, will serve us well in future.
There's much more I could say, but in short (and I don't want to repeat this again), it's far too early to tell whether or not Pioli and Haley are going to win at Kansas City. Their goals are well-stated; they want to build a team that competes year in and year out for the playoffs and the Super Bowl. That means it won't be difficult to tell if they've failed or not. In the meantime, it's just silly to second guess someone who is stirring a giant pile of turds with a stick.
