I wouldn't call that "competitive". This roster has the potential to be competitive should they get a franchise QB. Problem is, that's at minimum a year down the road, plus the time it takes for him to play at a high level. Guys like DJ, Hali, Flowers, etc aren't going to play at an elite level forever. The window is going to be very small. |

No matter how negative one wants to get... we have a very competitive roster! Sure we question the QB spot but you can't deny Pioli has actually done a very good job adding pieces throughout the roster. Imo we are a QB away from a Super Bowl caliber team. Even with that said I think Cassel can still lead this roster to the playoffs since it is that good.

They keep going to SB's because they adapt - they don't get stuck in one mindset. And the Steelers are the opposite. They are the model. Stability, continuity, tradition. 3 HC's in 30+ years because they don't hire the wrong guy. They constantly draft well. They do an excellent job of evaluating their own talent. Other teams rise and fall but the Steelers and Pats just go to title game after title game every few years... |

"competitive" is a meaningless word in the nfl
you can step on your dick and win 6-7 games in a league built for competitive balance... |

The pats have had some decent draft picks, but not a whole lot of studs. |

I'm also not sure what the **** Tyson Jackson had to do with the Chiefs losing. 2009 the team flat out sucked ass (and we don't have over half our current starters on the team even), and then 2011 the defense played well without arguably their best player and a big hole at nose tackle, oh and with one of the shittiest offense the Chiefs have ever trotted onto the field so unless the defense only gave up 12 points a game they were doomed to lose anyway. You doubt any of the guys Pioli has drafted will make the ring of honor? Herm ****ing Edwards found 5 that I think have a good chance of making it (Charles, Bowe, Hali, Albert, Flowers), I doubt Pioli didn't find any. Actually this whole argument is ****ing stupid. Go back 4 years into Carl's tenure and tell me what clear Hall of Famers he had drafted? FFS this might take the cake for dumbest argument I've read on here. |
