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.  I love what Herm is doing. Do I back it up as much as the Chiefs are?

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.  Another point I would like to make is this;  You have two kinds of teams that spend heavily in Free Agency.

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:33:11 +0000 http://arrowheadaddict.com/2008/03/17/insanity/#comment-11699 Without a doubt the Chiefs are going to have to sign some other players rather than just adding new players from the draft.  Frankly, I hope the chiefs sign Justin Hatwig.  Jake Long at left tackle (from the draft), Waters and Niswanger at the guard positions, D-Mac at right tackle, and Hartwig at center.  That would be a much improved o-line.  Tre Stallings and whoever else could be picked up in the draft could be the reserves.   That would also fit nicely with Chan G.'s offensive philosophy.  Although I am not sold on "smash mouth football", that is apparently Mr. G.'s forte and is what the new "Kansas City offense" will consist of.   Without a doubt the Chiefs are going to have to sign some other players rather than just adding new players from the draft.  Frankly, I hope the chiefs sign Justin Hatwig.  Jake Long at left tackle (from the draft), Waters and Niswanger at the guard positions, D-Mac at right tackle, and Hartwig at center.  That would be a much improved o-line.  Tre Stallings and whoever else could be picked up in the draft could be the reserves.   That would also fit nicely with Chan G.’s offensive philosophy.  Although I am not sold on "smash mouth football", that is apparently Mr. G.’s forte and is what the new "Kansas City offense" will consist of.

There's not just A.) Signing a ton of big-money FAs; and B.) Doing next to nothing. There's no reason why we can't add four or five more players like Demorrio Williams and Devard Darling via free agency.<br /><br />And if during this age of parity it takes us more than two or three years max to be back in the hunt, we've really screwed up.
