BucktheFroncos, you might only have that title because I left Springfield

I’ll be honest this season is more freeing than any in recent history. The Chiefs have suffered in mediocrity for years now, with a bunch of first round exits or draft picks ranging from 15-20. I watch the games from Austin and don’t get fazed anymore.

Do I still wear my Chiefs slippers, or jersey, or hoodie, or assorted t-shirts? Damn straight I do but I’m apathetic with the Chiefs right now…and that Adam is probably why readership might be down.

Just like society you have a lot of middle of the roaders and some crazy fringe players. Well my friends (ha!) we are those fringe players and when the Chiefs turn it around people will come running to get back on the wagon. Good thing our seat is up front whipping the coaches, players, and main stream media to stay in line. Keep up the important work (that last part was for the part of Adam that tucks his dong between his legs like Buffalo Bill)!

“And if they’ve left, screw ‘em — they weren’t real fans anyway. Sick of these second team scumbags.”

That’s the resounding truth in this piece for me. Come what may, I will continue to love the Chiefs. And part of that love is coming to THIS site and hearing my other brothers in arms, vent about the powers that be destroying what we hold so dear. If you have 10 readers or 10,000, keep doing what you do. The real fans are still here.

And Sports Doc what was your first clue that Whitlock could “…possibly (have) an ego problem”? Talk about profound understatements. The fact that he is a “powerful force” in sports journalism would only make me more determined to let him know what I think of him. The Jeff George stuff is freakin priceless.

“you can’t change your tune to give them happy horseshit because that’s Bob Gretz’s job.” That is painful (I love ya Gretz) but oh so true.

Stay the course Adam. Springfield’s most obnoxious Chiefs fan loves what you do!!!

In regards to the drafting…you might be right, but you also might be wrong. After all, who knows what really happens behind closed doors and in the war room? There can be speculation, and will always be, but final product has to be a ruling stick. And his drafts have been pretty good. I love Bowe and Pollard especially. I don’t know maybe all of this just looks good because Vermeil couldn’t draft his way out of a wet paper sack. Maybe it’s relative. I can’t figure it, but you have convinced me that Herm would not be a viable option at DC. He would end up getting pissed at BC and CG for scoring too fast.

“You guys are tiring my D out, let’s mix a few runs up the middle in there, come on guys. You act like you’ve never played this game before.”

The scout (sleeping) rumor…I don’t know about it (not likely) but it could be true (places tongue in cheek.) After all, what is it Herm says about prospects like, 3/4 of the time: “He’s a winner, you can look at his record. He knows how to win.” Well maybe Herm watches the tape to make sure the player in question actually PLAYS the sport and then just looks at the record: “Wow, he won 14 games last year? That’s as many as my last 3 seasons combined…”

But no, if Herm isn’t head coach he won’t be with the team at all…just doesnt really happen…(Gunther even left and waited to come back)

A couple of things here.

First off, in my opinion, this Herm-can-draft thing is a farce. I’ve read where a member of another team’s front office, unidentified of course, said he couldn’t believe Herm wanted to be a GM because Herm can’t “keep his eyes open for 15 minutes” while watching tape on prospects. He’s also a defensive coach, but the only thing that’s been picked well under him is defensive backs. Offensively, Bill Kuharich is the guy who found Jake Delhomme. I’m pretty sure he found Tyler as well and that D-Bowe was just a no-brainer. After Justin Harrell (who I liked a lot), Bowe was second on my list. Third if you count Brady Quinn.

As for defensive coordinator, I just don’t see it. Right now we have the 32nd-ranked defense in the league. The only things I can really see Herm as — well, besides buying the color commentary guy during game broadcasts maybe — are scout and defensive backs coach.

I think this thing where Chiefs Nation has been sold Herm the Draft Evaluator as a product has a lot to do with why his approval rating hasn’t crashed. The fact of the matter is, he hasn’t even drafted that well, especially up front defensively.

Do no Harm!

If he wants to stay, he can stay as a D-backs coach or a scout. Not my call, but that would be my call if it was.
