Who is your favorite all time Chief? Is it a former Hall of Famer? A perennial All Pro? The teams leading passer, rusher, receiver? Is it someone who terrorized offenses for years? Or is it an obscure player who contributed a bit, wore your favorite number, hustled on special teams or went to your college? I hope this article brings back some memories, sparks some conversation and most of all brings a smile to your face as I bring back some blasts from the past. Here we go!

I apologize to Texas Chief for the terrible play on his title but I liked it. I am pretty much a lurker on AP and very seldom do I post but after reading so many posts and comments for the last month I have a number of observations and questions to put forth to you fine folks for discussion.

We all know about the wire-tapping. We've all heard about how Pioli is a "monster" who likes to control Arrowhead from head to toe.

But have you considered that maybe he is controlling things because the leftover employees from previous regimes are just comfortable with mediocrity?

I mean, for a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in 18 years or a Super Bowl since 1970, its apparent to me that the people in charge haven't been focusing on doing whats right for the team. Pioli should be firing people like he has been. If the environment is comfortable for the employees, but the employees haven't delivered any sort of achievement since 1970, then clearly some things needs to get shaken up.

Well with Daboll as our new OC (it appears as though the Chiefs go through OC's like the Raiders go through HC's), there are going to be some ways he can help. Follow me folks.

Hmmmm... There is much speculation on whether or not we should go after free agent Quarterback Jason Campbell. Well to put it in perspective for you all, I figured out what would have happened if Jason Campbell was our quarterback last year. So my thoughts on it were: To have wins, you must score points, to score points, you must be able to move the ball and score touchdowns. So, basically, I averaged up his career statistics and put emphasis on mainly his shortened 2011 numbers. More details after the jump

1.) New Quarterback.

Whether you love or hate Matt Cassel, I think it's easy to agree that he is not the answer as a starting quarterback to lead the Chiefs to win any playoff games and ultimately the Superbowl. With Peyton Manning possibly becoming a free agent (which seems rather likely at this point) and two teams willing to trade down out of the 2nd and 3rd picks overall it's a possibility to get a better quarterback. It's whether Scott Pioli will or not. I would like to see the Depth Chart go as, 1.) Manning/RG3/Flynn. 2.) Matt Cassel 3.) Stanzi.

2.) Solidifying the Offense.

The offensive line..... It looks great at times, others not so much. With Albert coming on being one of the best blockers in the AFC West and a couple of young guys ready to step in to their roles, I think it's fair to say replacing Barry Richardson with a good tackle would make them one of the best lines in football.

The other thing that is important in making a great offense is having two Running Backs that can make plays. Jamaal Charles will hopefully recover and be back to normal. Thomas Jones is ancient. In running back years he is about 86. The Chiefs must pursue a draft pick or free agent to replace him.

This is what I would like to see for the offensive Depth Chart.

QB: 1. Manning/ RG3/ Flynn 2. Matt Cassel 3. Ricky Stanzi

RB: 1. Jamaal Charles 2. Tashard Choice/ Tim Hightower/ Peyton Hillis/ David Williams/ Anyone but Jones. 3.) Jackie Battle.

FB: LeRon McClain

WR: 1.Dwayne Bowe 2. Steve Breaston 3. Jonathan Baldwin 4. Copper/ Draft pick 5. Copper/ Draft pick

TE: 1. Tony Moeaki 2. Leonard Pope 3. Anthony Becht

OL: All the same except replacing Richardson and getting depth. Also, move Rodney Hudson to starting Center.

3.) Solidifying the Defense

The defense at times during the season (especially near the end) looked like one of the best defenses in the NFL. They finished up 10th overall in defense. The Chiefs did this without a possible starter in Brandon Siler and their pro bowl safety Eric Berry. The first priority is to re-sign Brandon Carr. I believe Carr has developed in to a shut down Corner.

To be the top Defense they must get a pass rushing Defensive end or Nose Tackle. I like Tyson Jackson in running situations, not passing. Same goes for Glenn Dorsey.

Depth Chart:

SS: 1.Eric Berry 2. Jon Mcgraw / Donald Washington 3. Not Sabby Piscetelli

FS: 1. Kendrick Lewis 2. Jon Mcgraw/ Donald Washington 3. Not Sabby Piscetelli

#1 CB: 1. Brandon Flowers 2. Javier Arenas 3. Travis Daniels

#2 CB: 1. Brandon Carr 2. Jallil Brown 3. Travis Daniels

#1 OLB: 1. Tamba Hali 2. Cameron Sheffield 3. Andy Studebaker

#2 OLB: 1. Justin Houston 2. Andy Studebaker 3. Cameron Sheffield

#1 MLB: 1. Derrick Johnson 2. Demarrio Williams 3 Cameron Sheffield

#2 MLB: 1. Brandon Siler/ Jovan Belcher 2. Demarrio Williams 3. Cameron Sheffield

#1 DE: 1. Tyson Jackson 2. Wallace Gilberry 3. Amon Gordon

#2 DE: 1. Allen Bailey/ Robert Mathis 2. Glenn Dorsey 3. Amon Gordon

NT: 1. Sione Pouha 2. Jerell Powe

GET IT DONE, PIOLI!

I am trying to compile a consensus Big Board of the top 100 players available for the 2012 NFL Draft. I am using top player rankings from www.nationalfootballpost.com , www.walterfootball.com , www.cbssports.com , www.fftoolbox.com , and www.drafttek.com to create a master list.

The recent hire of Brian Daboll has spewed out a recurring and common thought (or criticism) about Scott Pioli that he tends to rely heavily on former Patriots when building the Chiefs roster/coaching staff. With using the most current roster and coaches I could find via KcChiefs.com, I separated the coaches into two separate groups by former Patriots and other. I also listed all the players on the Chiefs roster and noted which ones were former Patriots.

The results post jump...

The Majority of Chiefs fans agree that the Chiefs need another running back to compliment Jamaal Charles. On Paper, the 2012 free agency is loaded with Free Agents. But realistically, it's not. There plenty big names like Matt Forte, Arian Foster, and Ray Rice, but we all know those 3 teams will do anything to keep them. Then, there's still a few good RB's that should hit the market, and that the Chiefs should target.
