Hey, I'm new to this blog and all blogs in general to be honest.  I've been a die hard Chiefs fan my whole life and I hate to see the shape our team is in. It seems to me that Carl has always been able to do one thing good at a time but lacks the ability to multi-task.  He built a great D for Marty but no offense. Built a great offense for Vermeil but no defense. Now, he's trying to build a whole team through the draft and ignoring free agency. You have to do both.  Look at the 49ers of the 80's, the Bills and Cowboys of the 90's and the Patriots of recent years. They didnt rely just on the draft or just free agency.  They realized you have to use both effectively to get a winning team, to get a dynasty. Teams that rely purely on the draft end up like the Buc's of the 70's and 80's or the Bengals of the 90's.  They go decades upon decades of dwelling in the cellar because the draft is a pure gamble. Now we are in a heck of a shape. I'm not going to bash Carl or Herm.  They're both ok at what they do but they are not the men to lead the Chiefs out of this mess. We need to get that assistant GM out of New England that Whitlock mentioned in his column the other day and then somehow entice Cowher.  Thats me dreaming. In reality I think Herm and Carl will be resigned to lengthy contracts at the end of the year.
