....but in reality is this will be coach Dennis Allen's defense. And he's got all kinds of problems.

Kansas City Chiefs: Was this a misprint? Nope – it was a comment on the shaky state of the AFC West (the Broncos and Raiders are messes) and a warning to the Chargers that the whole coast-until-you-need-to-turn-it-on thing won’t work three years in a row. The Chiefs, despite their 2-14 record last season, were more dangerous than people realized by December and will benefit from new coach Todd Haley’s shrewd game-planning and new general manager Scott Pioli’s grasp of personnel. They’re my pick to prevail in football’s weakest division.

I feel sorry for Croyle. He was given no chance last year, and was basically running for his life the entire time he was on the field. Add in the fact that Larry Johnson pulled his vagina…er…hurt his foot, and Croyle was a sitting duck. However, this year will probably be Croyle’s last chance to show he can become an effective quarterback. The Chiefs have added some talent on the offensive line, Johnson should be back at 100%, and Mike Solari is no longer calling the plays for the offense. These ingredients indicate that things can improve.
