Pioli can't have it both ways.

but possibly, the ones he is getting rid of may have something to do with attitude also? As my signature line reads….

I know it sucks and it looks like there were many moves Pioli could have made to make us better immediately. But you have to think….“Isnt Pioli doing he best to live up to his rep and mold us into a winning organization”…..Pioli could have stayed with the Patriots or went with a better looking squad. He chose the Chiefs because its a challenge. Its not gonna happen overnight. Sure I would love to win some games but his method is getting better through the draft while patching holes with veterans and journymen.

as though the only one who is needed to make a trade is scott pioli. it takes a willing partner and an acceptable price. some people say stuff like “trade larry johnson!” but then say stuff like “he’s washed up” so tell me, who wants a washed up running back and is willing to give you something good in return. i know we just want talent and don’t care how we get it but the logic of “give us a bunch of good stuff and take our junk off our hands” drives me crazy. i know that’s not what you’re necessarily saying here but i know some people act like all he has to do is call up a team and say “i’ll take your best player and i’ll give you a 3rd round draft pick” and, boom, it’s all fixed.

It’s not like he’s really making many changes to the starting 22 or to the players who are regularily on the field. He’s changing the players in the bottom third of the roster in hopes to find something better then what we have.

i have pleaded for this guy but he just doesnt have the speed off the edge we need we have no pass rush. we need a DEATH MACHINE ON THE END. A GUY WHO THE ENTIRE OFFENSE KNOWS IS COMING AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. LOOK UP THE MEANING OF DT STANDS FOR DEATH THOMAS.

Pioli has said in interviews that most of the players we are cutting aren’t getting picked up by other teams and that says a lot about the talent that was on this team. But like the title says he can’t have it both ways because also the players he has been picking up have also been sitting at home waiting for someone to call.

While I didn’t like some of his decisions, it wasn’t until that statement that I began to dislike him. I found it to be self-serving and class-less. Add to that the fact that he’s made changes, not improvements and I have to wonder what made him think he had room to brag.

Further more, most of the players he brought in as help are now sitting at home waiting for teams to call. I’m beginning to believe that if two players are similar in talent, the Pioli guy gets to play. Brown is not better than Pollard. Ryan or Whoever is not better than Cottam. Same goes with the O-line. Or if they are better, it certainly isn’t by much.

I’m very disappointed in Pioli right now. I did not expect everything to be fixed in one season. I did expect a better product on the field this season than I have seen so far.

Pioli after the draft:

We’ve started but there’s a lot more ground to cover and we will. As this ends today we’re not done improving this football team. There is going to be a lot of things that happen with other teams and with other people. There are going to be a lot of other opportunities.

Have we gotten (noticably) better as a team since April 26th?

At this point in the season why not sign player you have seen before or has been seen by peers that you respect? This team’s season is on the edge of a cliff and all we can hope at this point is that this staff patches some holes and makes this squad at least respectable.
