Along with being a huge Jayhawks fan, I am also a huge KC Chiefs fan. When they went 2-14 last season, it sucked. Then we fire Carl Peterson and Herm Edwards, a good start. Enter Scott Pioli, he only helped to put together the Patriots Dynasty the last 9 years, and new Head Coach Todd Haley, offensive guru from Arizona. So, things are looking up, particularly going into Free Agency with a ton of cap space and the #3 overall draft pick this year.
Scott Pioli just finished up his first trade for the Chiefs, and I got to tell you, it is a great trade. We pick up Mike Vrabel(solid linebacker and locker room guy) and Matt Cassell(the QB we drastically needed), for only a 2nd round draft pick. I would say this is very successful, get a starting LB and QB for a 2nd round pick, can't go wrong.
I know that people wanted to give Tyler Thigpen his chance next season, but if you really look at what he did this year, you will see that he is not a starting QB in the NFL. His success this year was due to the ability of OC Chan Gailey to realize his QB's limitations and run an offense that plays to the strengths. Unfortunately, it was an offense that is not sustainable in the NFL because it can't score if you get inside the 5 yd line. Oh yeah, Thigpen can't hit a receiver deep to save his life, he lacks arm strength and accuracy. I gladly welcome Matt Cassell as our next QB and get even more excited about what the future holds.
