A tweet riled up Chiefs Twitter this week, and many fans rushed to defend Kansas City’s 2017 expectations. But should fans be optimistic or pessimistic about this season?

On this episode of Roughing the Kicker, Joshua Brisco talks about the latest Chiefs topics and explores a prediction that Kansas City will struggle in 2017. Does Kansas City have a talent-bare offense and a chance at a quarterback switch midseason, or are the woeful predictions an overreaction to recent disarray? Plus, Matt Verderame joins the show to take aim at some bad hot takes and to discuss the Chiefs’ GM search. Plus, he also makes a bold prediction about the AFC West and KC’s chances in the division.

In other news, the longer the Chiefs go without a general manager after the firing of John Dorsey, the more sense it makes for the next GM to be Brett Veach. But if the Chiefs wait until the last minute to bring in a candidate from the outside, the team will have wasted precious time to get their new general manager into the culture that Clark Hunt and Andy Reid have built.
