A Question To All Pioli Supporters (Satire)

I counter with

Badonkadonk

Which I feel most of us here have more experience in debating on :)

I avoided AP on purpose for that reason.

Pioli supporters have as much right to defend Pioli, as much as the non-supporters have to question him.

… so I can’t imagine another start like that … if so, I’ll be right there with you, but I’m holding out hope for an excellent draft this year, which means a lot of improvement across the board

so goes the theory

Depending on my mood.

I was mad at first about the inactivity….but now I am pissed at the people who are trashing the Chiefs and Pioli for, ummm, his inactivity.

I can only be mad at my Chiefs for so long until I read something positive that can turn me around quick.

how you are so uniquely qualified, by profession or personal practice and a priori knowlegde, to so soundly if not convincingly defend Scott Pioli?

because the voices in my head tell me so.

I do not consider myself a protector of Pioli but an enemy of negativity. I just don’t get it. Why would anyone want to only focus on the crappy stuff and walk around pissed off all the time? I’m not out of touch with reality, I know we aren’t good yet and have a lot of work to do. I’m not calling for us to make the playoffs next year. I just see some things that give me hope for the future. I know there are others like me that like to stay positive so when this place gets bogged down with negativity I try to put something out there to counter it. I see it as more of a yin and yang of AP though. I don’t question anyone’s right to attack or question what the Chiefs are doing. I even agree with some of the complaints. I just can’t set up camp in “bitch and moan” land and stay there. That to me is “redonkulous”.

Sir i enjoy your wisdom on these matters . Sometimes i disagree with you sometimes i don’t . I have been a fan for 45 years the only thing that i can say is the CHIEFS would be nothing with out fans . for every person that puts a ass in a seat they are very important . they should be able to say what ever they want . Because Pioli only listens to his self .

your talking about the donkulous donkeys.

We are all anxious, nervous basket cases waiting for something to happen. We so desperately need to acquire some good solid free agents because of all our glaring needs. Hopefully, Pioli’s on the phone filling a couple of those needs.

I cant defend Pioli if he doesn’t fill at lease two on our needs via free agency. we can probably only count on three or four of our draft picks panning out. So free agency is Colossal if we are expecting to field a decent team this year… It’s all hanging in the balance..It’s redonculous…thats what it is.

of course, most of us are basket cases anyway … (won’t krayfish love reading THIS comment!)

I find it absolutely necessary to counter ridiculous negativity.

My qualifications? Time after time in the world of business I have had to enter into a situation where a team of people had totally broken down and things were not running well. I will openly say that the scale of the breakdown and the public view of it were in all cases much smaller than an NFL team, but the principles are the same. It is a matter of having a plan, taking things one small step at a time, and most importantly being consistent in both your own behavior and what you expect from your people. Little by little, bit by bit, day by day you have to keep chipping away and suddenly people start to “get it”. Then you keep on and more people get it. Before you know it things are running well. But in the meantime, there are people who are unhappy about your style, or what you ask to be done, and you either sell your case and convince them, or you part ways with them. Some of them may even be really good at what they do, they just will never fit what you are working toward. It is more important that you win the war than a few battles that will mean nothing in the long run.

Because of my personal life experiences, I see the same type of approach being taken to building the Chiefs now. Therefore, I am on board with Pioli and his henchmen. Thank you for asking.

… I can only rec your comment once

I can, however, kiss you for your redonkulous awesomenessnosity and refer you to a good psychiatrist, if you’d like …

also, Lanier wants you for his next movie

thank you for you fantabulous commentary, truly worthy of profound and deep whatever you’d like it to be (and I do mean DEEP)

first the Chiefs, next the Atom!

Looks like the “Bring-The-Bling” faction is hacked. Can’t say I thought many of the FA that have come off the market were ones the Chiefs would want…maybe one.

For a team that values their draft picks so much…its hard to see them getting a RFA at the expense of losing a high draft pick.

is the franchise’s history of poor drafting. Pick after pick went by under Peterson’s tenure where the guy I liked in the draft was passed over for someone who never lived up to expectations in KC (for 2 VERY obvious examples: I liked John Henderson over Ryan Sims [although hindsight now suggets Haynesworth would’ve been an even better pick] and Mason Crosby over Justin Medlock…I could go on and on year by year but it’ll just make me mad).

I’m supporting Pioli until he gives me long-term reasons not to. However, that doesnt mean I dont question things he does or doesnt do. Even knowing how critical 34 linemen are, I still cant understand why he didnt draft Eugene Monroe last year and let Alphonso Boone play LE for a year. I still dont understand why no interior linemen were addressed last year when guys like Antoine Caldwell and Jonathan Luigs were falling into the 4th round. Even more perplexing about that is when you consider the fact that he obviously felt an upgrade at center was needed since he attempted to sign Jason Brown, yet ignored that position in the draft. Hell, keeping 4 tight ends on the roster all of last year is something I still cant wrap my head around.

This year’s draft is as critical as any I can remember. I’m almost anticipating Pioli to make picks that I dont agree with, but I’m ok with that because I’m hoping that in 3-4 years I’m eating my words. I held out that hope for Carl Peterson far too long but it unfortunately never happened. Maybe I’m too much of an optimist, but Pioli’s track record is enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt for the time being.
