I liked the Dorsey hire because he appeared to come from an organization that values the importance of drafted and developed QBs.
I personally wanted Chip Kelly because I view him as an innovator in a stagnant league. A guy who is playing chess while the other guys play checkers.
It turns out that based upon the way in which our FO cornered itself, we were the sap playing Three Card Monte while the rest of the league is playing checkers.

I'm "meh" on the Reid hire. I liken this team to 1988 team, where there's a lot of talent that was coached poorly and play well below their ability.
I think that Clark Hunt, much like his father in 1989, plucked the best and most successful coach available in Andy Reid. But Reid, unlike Marty, is coming off of some down years and didn't leave on a good note. I'm shocked that he's actually coaching this season because I would have assumed he'd take time off due to the recent death of his son.
On one hand, I'd like to think that the Chiefs now have one of the best offensive minds in the NFL and one of the best quarterback talent evaluators and developers of QB talent. On the other hand, it's possible that they hired a guy that's burned out but doesn't know it yet.
As for Dorsey, it's impossible to judge at this point. The only move that we as Chiefs fans are aware of is this trade for Alex Smith. After being a part of a Green Bay organization that continuously drafted QB's, developed them and shipped them off for picks, this move is somewhat curious.
I'm excited to see what happens in the 2013 draft. Hopefully, he's a John Schneider type of guy that learned a shit ton while in Green Bay and not a Scott Pioli.
