It’s not the same league as it was before free agency. If you don’t have your team turned around in a couple of years and hitting their peak within 5, you’re spinning your wheels.

Look at the guys we’ve drafted since Herm came to town. Excluding this year’s class as it’s too early to tell, only Bernard Pollard and Kolby Smith are performing at top level (and Smith is debatable). Jarrad Page is getting close, as is Tamba Hali. Jeff Webb, Brodie Croyle, Dwayne Bowe (even though he had the most receptions of any rookie last year), Turk and Tank all show promise but still are squarely in the developmental stage.

Go back a year further and we find Derrick Johnson, again a promising player but still needing further development. Dustin Colquitt doesn’t really count – punters either have it or not. Thankfully he does!

So signing lots of young players and expecting them to take you to the playoffs within two or three years is not realistic unless you either keep a core of talented veterans to provide leadership or bring in those veterans via free agency.

PATHETIC

SHAMEFUL

Anyway back to my rant. When has this team ever shown any consistant playcalling? as far as I can tell it happens when Herm and the staff decide on what QB to start for the next game. A bit of advice here Herm, There is a Quarterback that knows this franchise on the team his name is Damon Huard.

For grading purposes I could not even grade this team. This team is beyond hope. They fit in the same catagory as the Lions, and Rams. No reason to grade cause there coaching staff all (censored). I do like Gunny though. Guns knows defense like bo knew football. As for Herm the destroyer of franchise Edwards. I would like another towel please. For those who do not understand this. It means the best place for him is as a restroom attendant.

I would love to know where I could apply for Carl Petersons job. Because it seems I know more then him and make alot less money.

This proves the world wide point of “The lless you know the More you make”

P.S.

I have 7 tickets for sale and a ton of memorbilia also. Herm you just plain (Censored)

I didn’t mean to come down harshly on Charles, he looks quite promising. There were a couple plays where he went down without much of a fight, though.

I agree that the secondary deserved better than a D, which you can see by the generally positive remarks in that section. The main detractions were no turnovers (but there was no pressure) and the high percentage Ryan was able to complete at. Like you point out, a lot of this falls on the lack of a pass rush.

The offensive line was horrible. Too bad for Thigpen. It is very hard to judge his performance under those circumstances. It is obvious that he is as athletic as Croyle with an arm just as lively. The speed of the game really affected Thigpen. I do understand looking at him in the game because he is talented, and practice does not allow you to accurately evaluate a player.

Larry Johnson ran awesome, finally. You can see the difference in him. He ran angry with that old chip on his shoulder. It is frustrating to see him go down easily at times. As for Charles, he did drop a couple balls early, but continues to play well. I disagree with the statement that he goes down easy. It may appear that way, but he also gains positive yards when most other backs would take a loss. He will eventually be our starting RB.

As hard as it is to swallow, we have to start enjoying the postive steps are team is making, regardless of how small. We are currently one of THE worst teams in the league. The only way we can survive as fans is to find those positives and look forward to the day we have a coach and GM that will can build around them.

The thing that hurts the most is knowing what a proud franchise Lamar Hunt created. The Chiefs have a history of having solid players that respected the Chiefs tradition as well as the game. The Chiefs that we fell in love with loved the game and played with passion……and were never this bad.

Now we’d be lucky if we could get a third rounder for LJ…

Q: On the whole your thoughts on the team’s performance?

EDWARDS: “I don’t know. I think we went in phases. We battled back in the second half. We made it kind of interesting but they drove right down the field after a long kickoff return and that got us out of the game. We came back twice but we couldn’t put any points on the board.”

Are you kidding me? You don’t know? What kind of reply is that? Battled back my ass, You got burnt and your copping out on the answer!
–

Q: Are you inclined to use him next week?

EDWARDS: “We’ll see. We haven’t made a decision on what we’re going to do yet. He did some good things, but he just can’t throw that many interceptions. All of them were points: 13 points on two of them and one touchdown for seven points.”

You mean you really have to think about it? let’s look at the stats shall we?
–

Q: Your defense should be ahead of your offense at this point. Is this disappointing after having spent a lot of resources trying to fix that. Is that more disappointing?

EDWARDS: “Yeah. We’ve drafted most of the players over there. We’ve got to play better on defense. There is no doubt about it. We haven’t the last two weeks – we haven’t played very good at all.”

Uh, Did he just admitt to something that he did? Did he just say he failed? Ofcourse he has a We in there!

Of course, we might be competing with St. Louis, Detroit, etc for coaching services. Think anybody is as gullible as “us” and willing to give up a draft pick for Herm? Heheh
