Well, if we have a deal like the Gasol one fall in our laps we’ll take it, bit otherwise we will have to work damn hard to make the rebuilding effort work.

I love what Herm is doing. Do I back it up as much as the Chiefs are? No. No way… I mean, I think the perfect example of a "Youth Movement" is (different sport) but the Los Angeles Lakers. When they let go of Gary Payton, Shaq, and Derrick Fisher everyone (including me) thought "What the hell are they doing??" And granted they did bad for a season, but now they have Kobe and young guys who’ve been stepping it up this season. And suddenly they’ve become one of the better teams in the Western Conference… BUT may we NOT forget, they ALSO brought in Pao Gasol…. And now they just became so much better. Gasol made Odom’s play that much better… And THATS what I think we need to do. Bring in at least ONE big name guy like D.Hall or Max Starks to lift team morale and play. We’d be surprised how much one or two sigings can make a team better…. Just a thought.

Another point I would like to make is this; You have two kinds of teams that spend heavily in Free Agency. The first is the team that has screwed up the draft, their picks didn’t develop and they have to go sign someone else’s (Raiders). Then you have the teams that are really close to going all the way, and they spend to build a power house for one, maybe two seasons (Patriots). Then you have everyone else.

Jeremy, I agree, going into the draft needing three starters on the OLine is insane. g.l. --you lost me when you said Chan Gailey would improve the offense but not enough. You have to look at what Chan did wherever he went as an Offensive Coor. Those teams went to the playoffs, and even won a Super Bowl. Chan can not only improve the offense, but he can build one that can go all the way.
