Best thing possible for the Chiefs is that we never have a Brady-Manning situation in the AFC. As long as there’s a significant gap between Mahomes and the second best QB, we’re the front runners. |

I think out of the legit contending teams, I'd go with the Browns also. You nailed why I just don't fear the Bills, Ravens or Steelers. |

The division is about the same as last year.
1. LA needs to demonstrate they can win close games and stay healthy. The same as every year. They're the closest competition to the Chiefs. 2. Denver and LV doubled down on "strengths" instead of actually improving. Denver seems to want to fortify the roster in places where they already have good players while not addressing some glaring holes. The Raiders blew up a strength to try and make it a strength and their obsession with back-end tweeners on defense is a bit mystifying. |

If they can get over those humps, they'll be a good team. Of course, we say this every year and every year they fail to get past either. |

Brandon Staley is 38 years old and has been an NFL coach for four years.
He was a coordinator for only one season before being hired as the new Chargers coach and had the benefit of having Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey on his defense with the Rams. I won't consider the Chargers a threat until he proves he can actually coach. |

Yep. IF they ever learn how to win the close ones...I think that's where Herbert comes into play. IF he proves to be legit, and I believe that he will, he'll get them over that obstacle. Top QB's do that for their teams.

They're the only team that has the talent to top us, that's all I'm saying. The Broncos and Raiders don't have a good enough QB. LA doesn't have any real holes in their roster. All of their flaws are outside the lines, if you will. |

Those 2 teams will have top 10 defenses but it’s not going to matter with our revamped OL and new weapons. |

Bills are relying heavily on 2 rookies and a 2nd year DE (Espenesa) to be excellent this year and get consistent pressure on Patrick. Dolphins are relying heavily on Tua. Ravens are relying heavily on Lamar and a rookie pass rusher. Browns have a new better defense with weapons and are relying on Baker. If I’m betting on who to rely on most of those options, it’s Baker |

With that said, Stefanski was an offensive coach with a far deeper and better NFL resume than Staley, having been in the NFL since 2006. The Chargers have been underachieving for decades, despite the fact they've seemingly had a loaded roster, so I have a hard time believing that they'll be anything but a disappointment until proven otherwise. |

My argument is more about the fact that it seems to be status quo right now, at least in the AFC West. All we really got was more of the same. None of the teams really re-shaped anything. |
