CHIEFS FANS, YOU ARE IGNORANT


For the past 6 weeks all that I have heard is how Herman Edwards has destroyed the Chiefs great offense. These are the same idiots that for the past 12 years thought that we were only one player away from getting to the Super Bowl. I wonder sometimes if we are rooting for the same team and watching the same games how they miss so much.

1. Dick Vermiel and Carl Peterson assembled a team full of veterans 6 years ago. These players were old then and haven't been getting younger.
2. Trent Green was a journeyman quarterback that fit the system that Dick and Al wanted to run. He was awful his first year in the system, earning himself the name TrINT. He got older, less mobile and finally broke. The Chiefs have never developed there own quarterback and have missed in all attempts to draft one.

3. Willie Roaf and Will Shields retired. Two hall of fame players are no longer part of the offensive line. To top that off all of the Chiefs draft picks at O line have been flops so there was nobody ready to take there place.

4. Priest Holmes, Broken. Larry Johnson is an excellent back but he is not the complete back that Priest was. To think though Dick Vermiel didn't want to take Johnson but instead wanted to take a defensive lineman that has so far turned into a bust in the league.

5. Eddie Kennison is old.
6. Dumped Tony Richardson. The best fullback in football could of been resigned but they just let him go to Minnesota.


How is Herm Edwards responsible for these things? Not only did he have to deal with all of the above but he had to rebuild a terrible defense. If you want to blame someone blame the late Lamar Hunt and Clark Hunt for keeping a man that is terrible at his job employed for 19 years.

As a longtime fan of the Chiefs I am embarrassed at the lack of football knowledge our city has. For a city that claims to have the best fans we certainly don't show it.
