And now for a little perspective...

     Ok I admit that I am a Chiefs homer, but then I would think that everyone on this site is. Lately I have kind of had my fill of all the crazy posts on here....you know the ones. Our coaches suck, they are either over the hill, over rated, underexperienced, or just plain suck. Pioli was a bad hire, everyone knows that all he did in New England was shake Bill's thing after he took a pee. Our offensive line sucks, we need a new everything. Albert is not a tackle he is a guard. The defense is horrible.

     I think everyone needs to take a step back and then take afew deep breaths. Here is some perpective for you guys. I am going to start with Albert because I like the guy a lot and I hate hearing about how he is really a guard....really you be lieve that one? Lets compare him to a pro bowl guard like Brian Waters. You say that Albert is a guard because that is what he played in college. Waters played Tight End for 3 years in college and switched to Defensive End his senior year, and in the NFL he made his debut at Center for the Chiefs. SO just becuase Albert played guard in college means absolutely squat. He has had decent stats at the left tackle position so since he has never played anything but left tackle in the NFL...that makes him a Left Tackle.

     The Chiefs have started the year at 0-3 so now eveyone is questioning the selection of Scott Pioli and Todd Haley at the top spots....really after only 3 games. Here is a little perspective on that. Now I don't want to hear about what other teams have done now or in the past, becuase I am a Chiefs homer so I am going to talk about the Chiefs. Let's go back a bit. In 1983 John Mackovic took over the Chiefs from Marv Leavy and the Chiefs started the season 2-6 and finished 6-10. In 1987 Frank Ganz took the Head Coaching spot and started the season 1-9 and finished with a 4-11 mark, this was however a strike year where replacement players played 4 games. In 1989 Ganz was replaced with Marty Schottenheimer who began the year at 2-4 and ended it at 8-7-1. Then in 1999 Marty-ball was dead and they gave the reigns to Gunther Cunningham who raced out to a 2-4 start and got over the finish line at 9-7. Gunther was demoted in 2001 and the offensive mastermind Dick Vermeil was thrust into the job and got off to a blazing start of 1-7 before stumbling to a halt at 6-10. Vermeil cried his way into retirement in 2006 and Herman Edwards was bought with a 4th round pick to be the next head Chief. Herm slaped enough butts to get the Chiefs to a 2-5 start and then somehow managed to get to a 9-7 record.

     Why did I start with Mackovic...well because he was young, like Haley, and inexperienced (QB coach from Dallas) like Haley. Now hopefully Haley will turn out to be a better coach than John was, but my point is that if you go back to the 1980's and look at what the new head coach, with a new offensive playbook has done with the Chiefs you will see starts of 2-6, 1-9, 2-4, 2-4, 1-7, and 2-5. None of them is that much different than the current 0-3 Chiefs. Before the season everyone with half a brain new that it was very realistic that the Chiefs could start at 1-6 and now that it looks like that may happen everyone has turned into chicken little. Dick Vermeil started at 1-7 and he was known as an offensive genious. Just becuase Pioli is known around the league as one of the best front office guys and Haley is regaurded by his former players as a great offensive mind does not change the fact that the Chiefs have been a very bad team for the last few years. Now that very bad team is changing offensive scheme, defensive scheme, more than half of the roster and more than half of the coaching staff. We as fans, as painful as it is, have got to lay off of them and give them the time they need to come together and form a cohesive unit. Do really think the players and the staff don't know they have a lot of improvement to make?

     I love my Chiefs and I will give them my 100% support while they go through this painfull transition. I will give nothing but 100% of my loyalty and respect to them all. If you really think it is that easy then why aren't all of you downers out there doing it yourself?
