Honestly I think Herm knows his stuff and if we end up firing him who are we gonna use to replace him? Chan as an interim? He’s good as a coordinator, but thats where he belongs. We all know Cower is way out of our ball park, he wants to work with talent, which we are still working on. Spagnolo? I doubt he’d jet from the to-be-super-bowl-champion Giants (we all know they’re gnna repeat) for a team thats out of the playoff picture for a few more years.

Facing facts, the NFL has an extreme shortage on quality head coaches and Herm is perfect for this team. He’s really good with young players and what’s our team composed of? He’s pieced together a solid draft for us this year with a no nonsense trade ethic that kept all of our picks in the talent heavy deep ‘08 class rather than the top heavy no depth draft of ‘09. Once Herm has some elite talent to work with you’ll see him work and all his critics now will be saying “I LOVE HERM”

Think about the talent he brought in from the lackluster free agent market. Upstart Mark Bradley, Maurice Leggett, and Connor Barth, al young talents that will be aroud for years

Comparing Thiggy to J.R. is interesting though, to say he didn’t do much better than J.R. could be seen as a good thing. Considering where he came from, his time as a starter compared to J.R., and thier production these last few weeks tells me we might have something with Thigpen. Talk about getting some bang for your buck!

Having the second best coach in a division where 3 of the 4 teams are in the bottom quarter of the league is a quasi-compliment at best. I feel that we are more than just a player or two away from being something special. I feel that our current coaching staff doesn’t truly know how to “play to win the game”. Blowing a 21 point lead to a sub .500 team speaks directly to that. We don’t seem to know how to capitalize on things that are working for us. At one point we lead the league in take aways and at the same time had the least sack in the league. What does this say to you?

Also Adam or anyone else, after your comment, I want an article on ranking Herm among all NFL coaches. I’ll make one easy, Cable is definitely no. 32 after his trick play.

If we take a linebacker with our first-round pick I am going to lose my effin’ mind. Adam Bomb will possess Arrowhead Adam once and for all.

Also I believe that if we were to have a number three or four pick Sam Bradford or Matt Strafford would fall to us and Herm, under all the pressure that’s being pressed on him concerning the QB position, would jump all over a top tier QB early in the draft. I want to see Thigpen for another year I think we can game plan to make him effective.

Also if Maualuga is too out of question at 5 or 6 I’d like to see Brian Orapako complete our D line, we just need one more piece on our D line so we can start building around it on the defensive side of the ball, just like the Giants

I would love it if we would win out the rest of the season. I would especially love it if we beat Denver on Sunday. I think the Chiefs and Herm Edwards have made some progress and I am hoping we continue to see some progress on both offense and defense. These last four games will go a long way toward determining a lot of things including whether on not the Chiefs could be considered a truly ascending team.

As far as AFC West teams go, if the Chiefs finish this season strong and the rest of the teams in the division continue to struggle, then I think a fair argument could be made that Kansas City has the look of a team on the ascendency with San Diego and Denver going the opposite way – especially SD.
