We're officially halfway through All-Star weekend and I think it's safe to say that Kansas City has done incredibly well. As we all know, I'm a huge fan of my city and love it so it's great to see us handle the national stage so well. So great, in fact, that I wrote a post about it this week on 610sports.com.<br />

2012 Seems well on its way to being your average Royals season. 90+ wins and a disappointed fan base seem like they might be in the cards based on recent showings by this team. Even so, 2012 is a big opportunity for the Royals. They can buck convention and turn this team into winner, all they need is a little innovation.<br />

In my most recent post for 610 Sports I talked about "effort." An abstract concept but one that comes up a lot, especially when talking about the Royals under Dayton Moore. Words like "grit" are thrown around jokingly now, but how important is effort? It isn't something that is quantifiable but what should be expected from these players in terms of "effort" over a 162 game season? I explore that a little deeper in my most recent post.<br />

The Royals have remained stagnant as an organization long enough. They need to hold themselves accountable, step up to the plate and realize that they are not the victims of their circumstance. They will be able to compete and need to take the proper steps to ensure that happens.<br />

<span class="Box_118798978_blog_entry_text">The Royals came out this
season touting something new and different that the fans could be proud
of. With the All-Star game coming to town, we had a team we could call
our own that was supposed to be different that the past iterations that
did things like lose 19 games in a row. A team loaded with young talent
only meant that any promise we had seen was just the tip of the
iceberg. There would be more to come. </span><br />

Well the Chiefs have completed another draft and brought in a host of new players to hopefully help this team take the next team from middling/competitive to full on contender. Whether or not they will actually help accomplish that remains to be seen. Either way, conjecture is the name of the game with sports blogging and I have plenty of it when I give my grade of the recent Chiefs draft via 610sports.com. Enjoy.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Royals marketing folks decided on “Our Time” as a slogan
this year for a few reasons. This was
not to suggest an inevitability of winning after so many years of losing. Rather, this was to signify the idea that a
franchise that couldn’t get out of its on way for a nearly two decades has
finally taken ownership of its situation.
The steps to turn this team into a winner have finally been taken.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s no mistake that the campaign consists of highlighting
many of the young stars on this team.^
These young and talented players represent the changing of the
guard. They are the new faces that are
helping to usher in a new era of Royals baseball. “Our Time” signifies a new direction for the
club and one that the fans can be proud of.
What happened in the past is the past but the future is bright here in Kansas
City and that is the impetus behind that slogan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">^ Not that there are
any old stars on this team with one of the youngest rosters in baseball, but
you get my point.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
More than possibly any other baseball franchise the Royals
have been through some incredibly tough times.^
It was a precipitous drop from the top of the baseball world in 1985 all
the way down to the very, very bottom in 2005 when the team went 56-106 and was
easily the worst team in baseball. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">^Except for the Pittsburgh
Pirates, they feel our pain.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After years of enduring 90+ loss seasons, this fan base is
understandably beaten down. Royals fans
can be, at times, some of the most negative, sarcastic, snarky, pessimistic,
albeit highly educated fans in baseball, and I include myself in that
group. We’ve had no choice. Humor is often a defense mechanism against
unwanted situations and we’ve all had to reach down and defend our
sensibilities from another rough Royals season.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The negativity has shown itself in Kansas City for quite a
while now. No matter what, some fans won’t
allow this organization to do anything right.
There were those that suggested the Royals jumped the gun on calling
Eric Hosmer up to the big leagues in 2011.
He is on his way to becoming one of the best players in baseball. There were those that said signing Jeff
Franceour and Melky Cabrera were dumb moves when they both had career years
last year, or close to it. Some decisions
have deserved to have been questioned (*cough* Yuni *cough*) but the point is
that every decision is scrutinized to the most minute detail.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This has extended beyond baseball and has reared its ugly
head with the recent assignment of Rex Hudler as the color commentator on the
Royals tv broadcasts. Cries of
ridiculousness about Hudler’s attitude, how he’s too positive, how he has to “prove
himself,” etc. have littered twitter and even made their way to the man himself
through only 4 games and spring training.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Part of this stems from the fact that Hudler was brought on
as a replacement for Frank White, one of the most beloved baseball people in
the city. It was never going to be easy
to replace White, but someone with an attitude in stark contrast like Hudler,
full of positivity and effusive praise towards the organization, only makes
matters worse.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What I struggle with is the issues that people have. If my twitter timeline is any indication then
it appears that some people are downright offended on a personal level about
Hudler doing TV broadcasts. It’s as if
some sort of ‘rite of passage’ must be had by Hudler before the fans will allow
him into the club. It seems like fans
expect a man who has no ties to Kansas City to immediately come in, understand
our history, and be pessimistic. Even
when he is coming in to the organization on the most positive upswing it has
seen in the last 25 years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We can put aside the fact that if you are so inclined you
can silence the TV and put the radio on to listen to Denny Matthews at your heart’s
content. I’m also going to let everybody
in on something, the man that Hudler replaced in White, wasn’t all that great
either. I love Frank White and think
that there are few better ambassadors for baseball in Kansas City than
him. However, that does not mean I can’t
be critical of his ability to be a TV broadcaster.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
White didn’t have the smoothest
delivery, and sometimes struggled to get his point across clearly. I remember his first year in the booth it was
near unlistenable. He made a marked
improvement in year two but still was only adequate, his ultimate saving grace was that he was Frank White. From a pure TV announcer standpoint, Hudler
is better than White. Now, whether
you like him or not is completely subjective and even a staunch Hudler
supporter would probably be hard pressed to like him more than White.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It just seems quite amazing to me that a city that was so
ready to embrace unbridled enthusiasm towards a team ready to make a move sends
so much vitriol towards it. Part of this
new era of Royals baseball should be a brushing aside of the negativity of the
past. If the organization is going to
try to shake loose the decades of losing, then the decades of pessimism should
be quick to follow.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

It’s important to remember here that optimism isn’t an absolute. Even the most positive fan has the right the
question the organization and certain moves like signing Yuni, or sitting Alex
Gordon and Mike Moustakas after only 3 games of a “slump.” Optimism doesn’t automatically make one a “homer”
or tow the company line. A bit of
realism is important for all fans, but criticism and pessimism don’t have to be
synonymous either.</div>

“Our Time” is about establishing this new era in the Royals
history. Part of that new era should be
a bevy of positive fans. Despite the
last two decades, there is more than enough positivity to go around for this
organization right now. Hudler is a man
who was hired to do a job that he is doing.
The Royals chose him and put him here.
If you don’t like it, you should direct your complaints to them, as
opposed to a man who is doing his job. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unless you’re Jim Nantz or Bob Costas a TV announcer is a TV
announcer. Fans need to remember that we
tune in to watch the Royals. You don’t
have to like Hudler, but just because he’s not Frank White and chooses to be
positive about his situation, doesn’t make him worthy of any sort of misplaced
fan-hatred. I for one find little
difference between Hudler and White, save for the knowledge of the
organization.^</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">^ Knowledge of which it
would be ludicrous to compare Hudler to White.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The slogan “Our Time” isn’t just about the team; it’s the organization
and the fans. This is our time to
embrace the team for what they are and what they can be, not to wake up echoes
of negativity because somebody is too positive.
There should be plenty of positive to come in 2012 so hopefully as the season
goes on the enthusiasm will only seem par for the course.</div>Jeff Herrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14705399702801111708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185728917553178341.post-43737679650762722032012-03-20T08:44:00.000-05:002012-03-20T08:44:22.452-05:00New 610 Sports Post - Survive And Advance<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Kansas Jayhawks survived an onslaught of sharpshooting form Purdue led by Super Senior Robbie Hummel. The Boilermakers came out throwing haymakers and the Jayhawks seemed lost. This was exactly the type of game that KU had lost in the past but they reversed the script this time around. "Survive and Advance" is the mantra, but this team has been living that in their careers ever since arriving at KU. In my latest post for 610 Sports I look into each starter and how they embody the mantra of survive and advance.<br />

I believe the Chiefs know what they’re doing on some level.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe they can build an organization and
do it the right way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do NOT believe
they are in touch with their fan base, nor do they provide any transparency to
fans who desperately crave it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such is
the problem with this franchise right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Chiefs fans are probably more forgiving than many of the fanbases out
there.^<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only thing fans of this team
require would be information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simply
explaining moves (or lack thereof) would seemingly go a long way towards
smoothing things over with a very discontented group of fans.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
That being the case, I have decided to take matters into my
own hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have reached out to Scott
Pioli (I haven’t really) and my request for an interview was granted (no request,
and it wasn’t granted).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What follows is
how Pioli (didn’t really) answer the questions I had for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would like to thank Mr. Pioli for the time
and being much more upfront with me than he has been with Chiefs fans in the
past.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Jeff Report: Mr. Pioli, first I would like to ask you,
what is the goal of this organization as it stands moving into the 2012 season?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Scott Pioli: Jeff please, call me Scott.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have many goals as a team in the coming
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As an organization we really think
we’re in pretty good shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I came
here in 2009 this roster didn’t have as much talent as it does now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve brought in many guys and they are
players that we think fit the mold of the “right 53” as we would like to see
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have also done a great job of
retaining the quality players that were here when I arrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have identified the men we want to be Chiefs as we move
towards being a championship team, and we secured their talents for a long
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I look around the league and I see
other teams that are dealing with salary cap issues and losing players, not
because they choose to but because they simply can’t manage to keep them under
the current salary cap structure we have in the NFL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As an organization this is not ever a
situation we want to be and for that reason we have chosen to be highly
selective and deliberate with our signings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For players that have made sense we have signed them, for players that
haven’t, we have not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For this coming season we are looking at all players available
to us that can make our team better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Every player will be evaluated and the ones that we deem to be good fits
will be pursued.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do not intend to
overpay players as that could damage our ability to compete long-term.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do, however, plan to make sure that we
look at all possible avenues to improve.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s important to note here that we also have the draft and
some of our needs can be filled there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When building a championship organization the draft is the most
important aspect that allows us to select the players we want who can help this
team for many years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are still
working on turning this into a championship roster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We believe a lot of the pieces are there, but
obviously not all of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through the
draft and free agency we are working extremely hard to make sure that we
fulfill all of our needs so that we can compete for a division I think we can
win in 2012, which is ultimately our first and most important goal as we look
to bring a championship back to Kansas City.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: You talked about the “right 53” and by all accounts
Brandon Carr is a player that fits that mold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet all indications are that he will not be a Chief next year; can you
explain what happened that didn’t allow for a contract to get done with Brandon
Carr?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: First of all, Brandon is a fantastic young man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has been a great player for us and he most
certainly has a bright career ahead of him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We would love to have Brandon remain in Kansas City and that is still
not out of the question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The issue we
have to deal with here is fitting Brandon’s future and his value with the
current structure of our team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
talented as Brandon is, he will most certainly make a large amount of money in
his future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As to this point, the
figures that have floated out by Brandon and his agent are not something that
we have been able to work with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have
negotiated much in the past 8 months or so and haven’t been able to come to a
conclusion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we’d love to have
Brandon on our team we do not want to put ourselves in a position where we are
prevented from making moves that will help our team in future years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: You spoke about Free Agency, now that the FA period has
begun who will the Chiefs target going forward?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: As I said, we’re looking at all avenues that will
improve our team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No stone will be left
unturned.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: Let’s try a different approach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m going to say a name and I would like you
to tell me your thoughts on them as they relate to the Chiefs?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: OK, let’s proceed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: Paul Soliai.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: We believe Paul Soliai to be a very talented player and
at 28 years old he is in his prime and still has room to improve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The issue with Soliai is the way we play
defense in our scheme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In today’s NFL
with so many 3 and 4 receiver sets we constantly need to have a 3<sup>rd</sup>
cornerback on the field.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order to do
this we have to remove a player from our front seven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As opposed to moving one of our linebackers,
we typically remove a defensive lineman, and usually that’s the nose
tackle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As NT is traditionally not used for pass rush, we like to
put in players who are more adept at getting pressure on the quarterback. This
essentially turns the nose tackle into a two down player.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Paul Soliai only has 2 sacks in his
career, he is not a pass rushing threat and therefore would fit the mold of a
2-down defensive lineman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the talent that Mr. Soliai has, his contract will
command a high value.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we will most
certainly speak with Mr. Soliai and think he would be a great adition to this
roster, we want to make sure he and his contract fit within our current
structure and is something we are comfortable with as an organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t want to spend too much money on a
player that will only be in roughly 2/3 of the time, when that money could be
spent adding more value at another position.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: Interesting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Eric Winston.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: Eric Winston is a very intriguing player and a surprise
that he is out on the market.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While Mr.
Winston isn’t “best in the league” at any one thing, he is consistently in the
top tier when it comes to everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
is a very well-developed and talented all-around player at tackle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is someone who would be able to come to
any team and be a starter and rightfully so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Without divulging too much information I would say that he
would fit in well here in Kansas City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As with everything, cost is a concern and much of what happens with Mr.
Winston will depend on how he chooses to handle his situation in regards to
salary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have some room to work with
on our salary cap but the numbers aren’t as “rosy” as everyone paints
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have to make sure that what any
free agent wants will work with our cap structure to make sure we are not
prevented from making similar moves in the future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: Peyton Manning.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: I think every team in this league, save a few, would be
foolish not to look at Manning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any time
one of the best quarterbacks in league history becomes available you have to
take a look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The important thing here
again is salary structure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Peyton
Manning will be paid a large sum of money and he will be worth it, but will
need to make sure that the contract is friendly to the situation of the team he
signs with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would love to have a
player like Mr. Manning in Kansas City, but based on what we know from the
Manning camp and our cap situation, it would take a very specific scenario to
make this happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This also has to be a
scenario that Mr. Manning deems acceptable.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: You have mentioned the salary cap multiple times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Throughout the offseason many media outlets
have purported the Chiefs to have nearly the most salary cap space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This includes estimates of nearly $60M+ after
the rollover from 2011.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you clarify
what you mean by “salary cap situation” so that the fans can clearly understand
everything that’s at play?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: Certainly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
have been some slight misconceptions going around about the cap space that we
have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The $60M+ number was a number that
was incorrectly reported based on taking the cap space we have near the end of
last year and basically just adding it on top of itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The true number was somewhere in the $30M
range, without getting too specific.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What’s also important to note is that that number was true, but did not
include restricted free agent tenders, franchise or transition tags, and roster
bonuses, all of which affect the cap as of the first day of the league year
which was March 13.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So as you can see, the initial picture painted by the media
was a little ahead of itself and slightly inaccurate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have some cap room but it is quite less
than initially thought and we have to make sure that we spend the money we do
have as wisely as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We want to
make this team better in every way we can, but we don’t want to do that at the
expense of future flexibility.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: Building on that, can you explain further how that
relates to the spending of the Chiefs in prior seasons and going forward?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: Of course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While
we haven’t made lots of splashes in recent years in free agency there is a
reason for that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As an organization we
believe strongly that a championship team is built through the draft.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Free agency and player acquisition is a part
of it, but only in the supplemental sense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When there are players that will help this team we go out and get
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas Jones, Kelly Gregg, Steve
Breaston, those are all players who played large roles on this team and were
acquired via free agency.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we identify players that can help, a key component is
how far into the future that player can help our team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we believe they fill a need in the short term
then we will pursue a one-year contract with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we believe they can help us for longer than
that, we pursue a longer deal such as we did with Steve [Breaston – 5 year
contract] and Thomas [Jones – 2 year contract].</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have to make sure as an organization we don’t get caught
up in thinking the firestorm of free agency and lock ourselves into a situation
that will be detrimental to our future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
see other teams having to use the franchise tag on their quarterbacks or top
draft picks from the past just to make sure not to lose them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Salary cap issues have contributed to those
situations and we try very hard to ensure that the moves we make help the team
as much as possible, but also won’t result in similar situations in the future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: The organization has previously stated they want to
bring in competition at QB.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What are the
plans for Matt Cassel and the QB situation going into 2012?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, I will
start by saying that we still believe Matt Cassel to be a capable quarterback
in the NFL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just two years ago he had 27
touchdowns to only 7 interceptions, went to a pro bowl and led this team to the
playoffs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While he didn’t get the job
done in the postseason it was still a great year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last year we had some struggles and he did
not perform at that same level.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Matt’s
performance on the field has to get better and more consistent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a quarterback driven league and the
QB has to perform.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bringing in competition is not about just quarterback, we
like to bring in competition for each and every position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What happens going in to 2012 depends on who
we bring in and how Matt performs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are exploring many options including free agency and the draft.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We know that the play from the quarterback
position has to get better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are
exploring all our options in order to ensure the performance is better in that
area in 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If Matt can’t get it done,
it’s our job to find someone who can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
believe Matt is capable, but his performance must improve and become more
consistent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: What do you see as the biggest needs of this team this
offseason?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: Personally, I subscribe to the theory that you generally
always have needs at nearly every position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You can never have too much depth or too many quality players.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d like to think that we have positions
where we’re stronger than others such as wide receiver, outside linebacker,
cornerback, and safety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That said, we
could still add depth at all those positions and bring in others that could
contribute to this team right away.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I came here in 2009, there was a lot of work to be
done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had some pieces but there were
a lot more missing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that we are
in a much better position than we were then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>From 2008-2009 this organization won 6 games.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the last two years we have won 17, which
is quite an improvement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even so, we’re
not close to done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s my job to make
sure this team never stands still and that’s what I intend to do.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately, with the salary cap rules, limitations of
draft picks, and other factors it’s impossible to build a championship
organization in only one year, let alone three.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We’re much better than we were before I arrived here, but there’s still
a long way to go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have to make sure
that everything we do is for the best of the team, both this year and
long-term. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the media it has been questioned on our desire to win and
put a solid product on the field.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
would like to take this opportunity to assure the fans that we have done as
much as we can to ensure we have the best product possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a lot of work to build a
championship team and it is a long process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We continue to do everything we can and there is evidence to support
that, such as the signing of players like Jamaal Charles, Tamba Hali, Derrick
Johnson, and Brandon Flowers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are
close and Chiefs fans’ patience will be paid off in the future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TJR: Scott, I believe that’s all the time we have, thank you
very much for taking time out of this busy day and talking to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good luck this offseason.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SP: You’re welcome Jeff, thanks for the interview.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Was that so hard?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
don’t think so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the answers
provided here were vague enough not to give too much away, they also provided
quite a bit more info and transparency than what he’s said before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With situations like this the fanbase would
be much more receptive to how Pioli is trying to build this team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Dayton Moore took over for the Royals in 2006 he
repeated his mantra of “trust the process.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While that became a joke after a while, Moore stood strong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are starting to see the fruits of the
“process” with the excitement surrounding the Royals this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moore has stated his reasons on why he has
brought in the free agents he did, he has responded to criticism, and he has
been specific.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Scott Pioli has done none of these things and if he were to
handle an interview like above the fans would be much more appreciative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes a lot to get fans to turn their
backs on an organization and the Chiefs are nearing that point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What doesn’t take a lot is to go a little
further, step outside the comfort zone a bit, and be clear to the fans what
path this organization is on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would
go a long way to making fans like me much less frustrated.</div>

<br />
Peyton Manning has visited Arizona, Denver, and is now scheduled to visit Tennessee, Miami, and possibly Houston. With the exception of Houston, none of these are a better fit than Kansas City (some might be as good, but not better). There has to be something missing on why Manning won't even talk to the Chiefs and I explore that in this post.<br />

Well, the Chiefs signed Stanford Routt yesterday and all indications are that Brandon Carr will test the free agency waters and will most likely be on his way out. In my latest post on <a href="http://610sports.com/">610sports.com</a> I talk about why this isn't the best move for the Chiefs and that is want to change the perception of them here in KC, this is exactly the right place to start.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Super Bowl XLVI is in the can and there are two ways you can look at the result. With the Giants winning 21-17, you can look at this as Eli Manning cementing his legacy or as Tom Brady and Bill Belichick weakening their own.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br />In 2007 it came out that the Patriots coaching staff had acquired illegal tapes of the opposing teams signals. These were turned over to the NFL, destroyed, and the Patriots and Bill Belichick were fined $500,000 each as well as stripped of their first round draft pick. A pretty high price, especially considering it wasn’t known exactly what was on the tapes. It then became an issue of whether or not their legacy is legitimate.</span>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">In my most recent post on 610Sports.com I talk about what KC sports fans can look forward to after the Super Bowl:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The bye week in between the Super Bowl always seemed completely arbitrary to me. After 20 weeks of grueling competition week after week, they league decides to give the teams a free break before the biggest games of their lives. On the surface this makes a lot of sense, it allows the teams more time to prepare and can give us a better game to watch. Yet, we all know the real reason is to drum up more publicity and make sure it’s the most watched event of the year (which it usually is).</span>

This weekend graced all of us with a great set of games for the the AFC and NFC championships. Both games went down to the wire, are ripe for what-ifs and will haunt both the Baltimore and San Francisco fan bases for years to come. Contained within these great games was something the Chiefs can use to learn, but will probably miss. For the full article follow this link:<br />

Kent Babb wrote <a href="http://www.kansascity.com/2012/01/14/3371495/arrowhead-anxiety-turnover-off.html">an incredible article</a> in the KC Star about the 'Arrowhead Anxiety' that permeating that entire organization. While no direct barbs were thrown, the article recounted from many former employees about how poor the environment was out there. There were some pretty interesting claims from former head coach Todd Haley, some insight into what it's like working at Arrowhead, and lots of reasons to be concerned with this organization as a fan. I delve into it a little bit more in depth in my post for <a href="http://610sports.com/">610sports.com</a> this week. Link is below:<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Originally, I wasn’t going to post about the Chiefs today. With the season over, the playoffs in full swing, and the dead period looming after the Super Bowl, it seemed prime time to pick up college basketball talk, or possibly even a Royals post. Then, the Chiefs went ahead and made it official that they would keep the status quo as Romeo Crennel became the 12th head coach in Chiefs history...</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An interesting idea was proposed to me recently (via @grogg
on twitter): how does the front end of the projected Royals 2012 rotation, compare
with the playoff teams front end starters from 2011? Well, there is a lot that goes in to this
question. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, it will have to be determined who the front end
starters for the Royals are. That, in
and of itself, is pretty much the issue, but I digress. Right now, most will agree that the locks for
the rotation are Luke Hochevar, Jonathan Sanchez, and Bruce Chen. Felipe Paulino and Danny Duffy are the
leaders in the clubhouse for the other two spots but Mike Montgomery, Aaron
Crow, and possibly Everett Teaford and Luis Mendoza will also factor in. If Montgomery or Crow show they’re ready for
the rotation the Royals will not hesitate to move Duffy or Paulino to the pen
or down to the minors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That said, I think the front end of the rotation has
Hochevar and Sanchez and locks and that 3<sup>rd</sup> front end spot will
probably go to Chen but if Paulino pitches as he did last year it’s possible he
could snatch up that spot. In order to
move forward with this exercise we will have to determine who gets that #3 slot. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2011, Bruce Chen had, by all accounts, a pretty good
year. With a 3.77 ERA, and a 12-8 record
Chen was the best pitcher on staff, statistically. That is assuming you are just looking at the
“surface level” stats. While I don’t
ever purport to be a SABRMetrics expert or a snob, at this point I think we can
all agree that peripheral numbers are just as important as ERA. Looking at those, the case for Chen begins to
dissipate. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even with the solid 12-8 record, Chen recorded his lowest
K/9 rate of his career at 5.63. This is
over a strikeout per nine innings less than his career average. Now, this also goes hand in hand with nearly
the lowest walk rate of his career at 2.90 BB/9. This is a half a walk less than his career
average, which puts him right about his career marks for K/BB ratio (1.94). When you dig a little deeper is where it
get’s troublesome. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chen put up a well below average 34.6% groundball rate. As an extreme flyball pitcher it’s no wonder
that Chen has fared well in Kauffman stadium.
With his second consecutive year of 8.1% homerun to flyball ratio, Chen
has appeared to have been able to keep those non-groundballs in the
ballpark. His home/away HR/FB splits of
7.8%/8.4% would lend credence to him being helped quite a bit by the friendly
confines of Kauffman. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What’s further disconcerting about Chen is his xFIP of
4.68. Basically, if the Royals defense
wasn’t as good as it was, then he probably wouldn’t have had as good of a
season. Making matters worse is the .278
BABIP that Chen allowed. The league
average BABIP for pitchers is right around .300 so to expect Chen to continue
with this number is slightly illogical.
Yet, Chen appears to be a slightly illogical pitcher. A .278 BABIP is actually higher than his 2010
number and only .001 points below his career average. Perhaps Chen is a freak of a pitcher when it
comes to BABIP. Stranger things have
happened in major league baseball.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over his career, Chen has been a bit of an enigma. He’s had 5 seasons in which he’s pitched over
130 innings. In those five seasons he
has had 3 sub 4.00 ERA seasons, including a season of 3.83 ERA over 194 innings. The other two seasons included ERA’s of 4.83
and 4.17 as well, so even if it’s above 4 it’s not the 5.59 career mark of Kyle
Davies or even close to Davies’ worst seasons as a starter. While his numbers may seem unsustainable, it
could just be the magic of Bruce Chen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But what about Felipe Paulino? We don’t know much about Paulino and I don’t
think that anybody does really. The
Rockies gave up on him after a horrific run of 18 games with a 7.36 ERA. For those 18 games, Paulino was pitching as a
reliever in a well known hitters park. In
contrast to his ridiculous ERA numbers was Paulino’s xFIP which sat 3.58 during
his time in Colorado. He also put up a
8.59 K/9 ratio. By most standards this
is a borderline elite number. Any time
you can get nearly a strikeout per inning, you’re doing something right. His walk numbers were at 4.30 which is high,
but those numbers put him right where Jonathan Sanchez was last year, if not
better. His issue was his ridiculously
high 1.84 HR/FB ratio. Paulino was clearly
not a pitcher cutout for the confines of Coors Field.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of his numbers got better when he came to Kauffman. He only put up a 4-6 record with the Royals,
but his numbers were much better than his record would show. Paulino maintained the solid 8.59 K/9 ratio,
and improved his BB/9 ratio to 3.47.
That’s nearly a whole walk per game improvement and all whilst throwing
more innings. This is a 2.47 K/BB
ratio. Let’s also keep in mind that
everyone was excited about Jonathan Sanchez who had a 1.54 K/BB ratio last year
and a 1.95 K/BB for his career.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Point is, while few were talking about Paulino last year, it
should have been more. His 4.11 ERA was
good enough for a Royals pitcher but his 3.74 xFIP with the team was even
better. Playing in the pitcher friendly
confines of Kauffman he only netted a 7.9% HR/FB ratio. Somewhere buried in all these stats is a
solid #3 pitcher on a contending team ready to break out. Paulino has never pitched more than 139
innings in a season (and that was 2011), has been jerked back and forth between
the bullpen and being a starter, and has never gone into a season being told
“you’re the guy, you’re a starting pitcher, now start pitching.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s reasonable to assume that given a situation where he
would go into 2012 as a starter he could pitch in that 150-200 inning range and
put up 2011 Chen like numbers with the peripherals to back it up. The conclusion of all of this is that I’m
going to pencil in Paulino as the #3 starter, hoping and praying the Royals are
smart enough to realize that he should be starting. They may feel obligated to Chen to give him
that spot based on the contract they gave him ($9M over 2 years plus
incentives), but if the Royals are serious about winning then contracts
shouldn’t matter. Chen will pitch
regardless, it just may be the difference between a #3 and #4, which shouldn’t
matter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ok? Ok. We’re all in agreement here, our 1-3 pitchers
are (most likely starting in this order) 1) Luke Hochevar, 2) Jonathan Sanchez,
and 3) Felipe Paulino. The whole point
of this exercise is trying to figure out if the Royals have the pitching to
contend in 2012. In order to make a
determination on this, we will compare the 2011 seasons of our starting 3 with the
starting 3 of some of the playoff teams from the same year. Let’s get one thing out of the way, there is
no reason to compare the Royals to the Phillies because the Phillies have an
all-time great rotation, let alone one that we would expect to compete with. Instead of wasting time and words on that
futile effort, we’re just going to go ahead and take them out of it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s start with everyone’s favorite: Luke Hochevar. Hochevar is a model of inconsistency. He has annoyed fans with his propensity to
show flashes of greatness followed by horrific blowups in the face of
adversity. This looked to be the make or
break year for Hoch. He was either going
to prove he was worth the #1 pick or bust.
Unfortunately, for the Royals he did just enough for us to think
“well…maybe…” but not enough to be fully convinced.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the All-Star break Hochevar really turned it on
putting up a 3.55 ERA and a 6-3 record. Not
only did he give his dominating stretches we’d all seen before, but he
maintained a level of consistency we hadn’t seen before. There weren’t any 5 run blowup innings like
in the past, he had a few below average outings, but he looked much stronger
than he ever had before. In his last 20
innings pitched he maintained a 2.18 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP and an elite level
K/BB mark of 3.33. If he can replicate
that over the next year he will win a Cy Young hands down. If he can be 85% of that, nobody will
question him as the #1 pitcher of this staff.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately, with Hochevar we will have to look at his
body of work. While the former #1
overall pick had his best year as a pro in 2011, it still wasn’t that
great. He finished the year with a 4.68
ERA, 11-11 record, and an xFIP of 4.05.
His K/9 was a Bruce Chen like 5.82 but his BB/9 was also a solid
2.82. This amounts to a slightly above
2.0 K/BB ratio, which is good enough for this staff. Where Hochevar gets in trouble is the homerun
bug. He had a 1.05 HR/9 ratio which
equated to a 11.5% HR/FB ratio. Playing
in Kansas City that is an impressive number; especially when you look at his
splits to see home/away numbers of 7.5%/17.5%.
Those numbers are disastrous on the road.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So how does Hoch compare to the top pitchers in the
league? Greg Layton (@grogg on twitter)
was kind enough to do the leg work for me on this. For 2011 the average #1 starter (based on the
top 9 pitchers from teams that made the playoffs last year) had a line with an
ERA of 2.72, and an average K/BB ratio of 4.19.^ The average WHIP is 1.060 and
an xFIP of 3.14. Quality starts are
debatable how much those stats actually matter, but the top 10 pitchers from
the playoffs last year had a quality start 74% of the time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

good the Phillies were, they had 3 pitchers that ranked in the top 4 of all
playoff starters, which is what those numbers were based on.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Matter of fact, of the top 3 projected starters for 2012
(that I mentioned above), Paulino’s 2011 stats are the closest to a #1 starter,
and they’re not even near to that level.
It’s no surprise that the Royals don’t have an ACE that can match up to
those stats, but needs to be said all the same.
Now, let’s put it out there how our projected 1-3 starters matchup to
the average 1-3 starters from playoff teams last year.^</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>^Again this is based
on rankings, so the average #1 starter is the average of the top 9 pitchers
from playoff teams last year not all the #1 pitchers from each team, average #2
is for pitchers 11-19, and average #3 is for pitchers 19-27, so there may be
some #1’s who contributed to the #3 numbers, but the standards bear out for who
should be included in each category.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

Below are the top 27 pitchers from the playoffs in the
previous year:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This tells us something we already really know, and it’s
more of the same to most Royals fans.
That said it’s still an interesting analysis. Felipe Paulino and Luke Hochevar have both
hit that 3<sup>rd</sup> tierjust about right on the nose. Now, when you look at Hochevar after the
All-Star break, his numbers fit more in line with the average #2 starter. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Looking through these statistics it is apparent that the
Royals give up far too many walks. Such
a truth is what got long time pitching coach Bob McClure fired at season’s
end. Perhaps Dave Eiland can work
wonders with this staff in that regard.
If he can cut Sanchez’s walk numbers down by 2 BB/9, and maybe 0.8-1
BB/9 improvement for both Paulino and Hochevar, he would be in line for
assistant coach of the year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This also shows us that at their peak performance, both
Paulino and Hochevar were #2-#3 level starters.
Everyone knows this fan base has been clamoring for an ACE on this
staff, but bear in mind that the St. Louis Cardinals won the world series and
didn’t have a single pitcher who ranked in the top tier last year, while the
Phillies had three and didn’t even make it to the NLCS.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Point is, this team can not only compete, but win, without
that lock down ACE that everyone craves.
While a true ACE can make the difference, it is a luxury more than a
necessity to a championship team. Having
solid pitching from 1-3 could possibly be more valuable than just a top level
ACE (the Tigers prove that theory correct, and yet the Phillies debunk it, its
baseball after all, nothing is absolute).
Like a shut down closer, depth is more important than that top line
guy. At most an ACE can pitch 3 games
and if you can’t win another one, then you’re SOL for a championship. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If Luke Hochevar keeps his second half momentum going
through next year, he could jump to that Tier 2 level starter. If Paulino has a full season with peripherals
like last year, he will be in that Tier 2-Tier 3 range. If Jonathan Sanchez goes back to his 2010
form, he could also reach that Tier 2-Tier 3 level. If Chen pitches as he has the last two years
he is solidly entrenched in the Tier 3 level.
With the Royals missing an ACE, having four pitchers that could be 2-3
level starters basically ensures them of being competitive. With this weak division, it could mean a
division championship. This is all
without factoring in any improvement from Danny Duffy or a comeback year from
Mike Montgomery.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were a lot of “if’s” in the previous paragraph. This was, of course, intentional. The Royals will be much improved in 2012, but
there is still a lot we don’t know about this team. If things go the Royals we could be looking
at a division championship. If they go
the other way, it could be another 75 win season.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While the information provided here (again, hat tip to Greg)
seemingly would go to show that the Royals are far away, it’s a little more
encouraging than that. With this
information we see that Justin Verlander is not a necessity to win a
championship. We also can see that
having a solid rotation with no weak spots might even be more valuable. This does not show us that the Royals have
such a thing, but it does show that they’re close than perception.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like anybody else, I’m not sure what’s in store for the
Royals in 2012. Also, like everyone else
I know that a lot of it will depend on the pitching. The pursuit of the mythical ACE though, might
not be as important as everyone tries to believe. The Royals can compete with who they have
now. It will take a lot of “ifs” but if
they fall for the Royals, it could lead to a division crown. I also think that like everybody else, I’m
hoping the Royals will be part of setting this bar next year, instead of just
being compared to it.</div>Jeff Herrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14705399702801111708noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185728917553178341.post-83434580106241920712011-12-21T08:09:00.001-06:002011-12-21T08:09:34.933-06:00New 610 Sports Post - Don't Get Too Excited About the Chiefs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Chiefs have shocked the world. The undefeated Green Bay Packers have been dismantled at the hands of Romeo Crennel and the "new-look" Kansas City Chiefs. Kyle Orton played about as flawless of a game as a Chiefs QB has played since the Trent Green era. The defense looked great holding Aaron Rodgers and the high octane Green Bay offense to only 14 points (7 of which came against the shell prevent defense). Also, don't look now, but the Chiefs still have a legitimate shot at the playoffs. If the Chargers lose, and the Chiefs beat the Raiders and th-you know what, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We've definitely been here before. Will going 8-8 and making the playoffs solve all of the Chiefs problems? I say no and bring up a few past examples that might make you think twice before getting excited about the future of the Chiefs.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Chiefs are in a very dark place. With Tyler Palko leading this injury riddled
team they have looked positively awful on the field. After garnering some positive energy with a
victory against the Bears last week, the Chiefs came out and laid an egg
against the Jets. They came out
unprepared, had no energy, and got smacked around to the tune of 37-10. This all came against a Jets team that’s had
their own struggles with their polarizing quarterback Mark Sanchez.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This embarrassing loss turned out to be the nail in the
coffin for Todd Haley as the Chiefs head coach.
Scott Pioli and the Chiefs brass have parted ways with Haley as of
Monday morning. No matter who they hire,
they will spin this as being the move that solves the Chiefs problems. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This puts the Chiefs in a precarious situation this
offseason. The civil unrest about this
team in KC is at a record level. The
Royals are looking up as an organization.
The Jayhawks are the Jayhawks in basketball and have a new coach in
football. MU is having a great season in basketball and
a new conference for football in 2012.
Point being, there are exciting things going on in the local sports scene
that can take attention away from the Chiefs.
In order to curb this momentum towards other sports, the Chiefs need to
make some noise this offseason. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The hiring of the head coach will be an opportunity to do
this. However, after a contentious relationship
with Haley, Pioli will most likely be looking for a more malleable coach. Pioli has not shown the ability to look
outside his network for hires. His next
coach will most likely not be one that will make the fan base excited (Josh
McDaniels, anyone?). Pioli will have to
make a splash in a different way.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Enter Peyton Manning.
Last week in an <a href="http://www.blogger.com/(http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/06/archie-manning-doubts-that-peyton-and-andrew-luck-want-to-be-teammates/">article on Pro Football Talk</a> Peyton’s father Archie mentioned how he didn’t think that Peyton would want to
sit behind a young quarterback. With the
Colts all but assured the #1 pick, and Andrew Luck being a near certainty, this
could very well be in play.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Peyton has stated that his fate in Indianapolis will be
decided by March of next year. Right in
time for the Colts to decide that they can take Andrew Luck in the 2012
draft. There are a lot of moving parts,
but basically with a restructuring of his contract Peyton Manning becomes a
very tradable commodity. Without being
in position to grab Luck or the next best QB in the draft, the Chiefs would be
just the team the Colts would look to trade with.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ve been here before haven’t we? In 1993, the Marty Schottenheimer led Chiefs
had a young and talented team that seemed to be ‘one player away.’ That was the status quo anyway. After going 1-3 in 3 straight trips to the
playoffs from 1990-1992, all they needed was that one player to get them over
the edge. Enter Joe Montana. The 4 time Super Bowl winner was acquired at
the age of 36 by the Chiefs for their first round draft choice, and led them to
the AFC Championship game. Manning will
be 36 next March, and word is the Colts will want at least one 1<sup>st</sup>
round draft choice.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Chiefs are a more than plausible landing spot for
Manning. First, there are the reasons
that make sense at surface level. Those
reasons being that the Chiefs will return Jamaal Charles next year which
instantly makes their offense better.
With Bowe, Baldwin and Breaston, Manning would have a receiving core
that is about as dynamic as any he’s played with in the last few years. Eric Berry and Brandon Siler will return to
hopefully add even more to the Chiefs solid defense. Manning would be touted as the player to put
the Chiefs over the top to be legitimate Super Bowl/playoff contenders. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whether that line of thinking is correct all would depend on
how Manning recovers from his neck injury that has kept him out all of
2011. That’s not the major issue at play
here for Chiefs fans though. A move like
this by Pioli just brings us right back into the dregs of the Carl Peterson
era. The issues that have plagued this
team will continue into the future. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Chiefs have systematic issues that run organization
wide. It starts with the mindset that
Clark Hunt has put in place and is carried out by Pioli. The Chiefs have not shown the ability to
properly identify the correct talent for their system. Even if they have, they haven’t shown the
ability to spend money to get those players.
The Chiefs haven’t been able to select the proper coaches for their
staff, and if they have, haven’t been able to keep them. With all the issues the Chiefs have, one or
two moves—such as a new QB and head coach—will not solve all the Chiefs
problems.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a fan base the Chiefs fans have been beaten down year
after year. The fundamental aspects of
building an organization have been passed over time and again in order to take
the short cut to selling ticket sales. The
Chiefs brought in Matt Cassel so they wouldn’t have to draft and develop a QB
of their own. This wasn’t the first time
either. Steve DeBerg, Steve Bono, Elvis
Grbac, Trent Green, were all QBs drafted by and/or developed by other
teams. The Chiefs have been afraid to
take the draft plunge on a 1<sup>st</sup> round QB since they whiffed on Todd
Blackledge in 1983.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not drafting a QB was an organizational paradigm. For Lamar Hunt the scars of Blackledge were
too deep. Peterson never showed any
interest in drafting a QB either.
Together they went 20 years and never took a chance. With Clark Hunt taking over and hiring Pioli
in 2009, those organizational issues were supposed to disappear. This team was going to be built the right way
by someone who knew how to do it. A move
to get Peyton Manning just means the Chiefs will have the same status quo as
the last 25 years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Manning will sell some tickets and some jerseys. Manning might even make the difference and
get the Chiefs a playoff win. However, a
Super Bowl win doesn’t appear to be in the cards even with Manning at the
helm. This move would just mask the issues this team
still has. Two years from now, they
would be right in the same situation they are now. With the Haley firing, this offseason is
maybe one of the most important in Chiefs history. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For an organization that has touted stability they have none
at the moment. In the 3 years Pioli has
been here they have had 3 head coaches, 4 offensive coordinators, 2 defensive
coordinators, and multiple other positions coaches. They need to make moves to stabilize this
organization. This includes a head coach
this organization can live with more than 3 years. This includes a QB who can be the leader of
this team for 10 years. This includes
the Chiefs looking at themselves and realizing there is no quick fix. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Peyton Manning is not the answer. Matt Cassel is not the answer. A head coach that Pioli can lord over is not
the answer either. This organization is
teetering on the brink. They need to put
the pieces together before everything is too far gone.</div>Jeff Herrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14705399702801111708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185728917553178341.post-1514310934972715132011-12-02T16:56:00.001-06:002011-12-02T17:45:28.727-06:00NFL Lockdown vs. X-Girl Jamie-Lynn<br />

My latest post for 610sports.com is up. There is a lot of negativity going on around the Chiefs right now, and rightfully so. After winning 4 in a row and being tied for 1st just a month ago, they have lost 4 straight and the season is looking dire. All that said, there are some bright spots here and some things to be positive about. Since I am the helpful blogger that I am I have decided to provide some things to be thankful for as a Chiefs fan. Coming off of Thanksgiving weekend and a tough Sunday night loss to the Steelers, we Chiefs fans definitely need some things to help us be positive.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
It had to happen sooner or later, I suppose. My streak of winning against the X-Girls has
ended at three. X-Girl Emily has
defeated me. No doubt powered by her
love for the Tim Tebow-led Broncos Emily was able to compile an 11-3 record
against my 9-5. It was a good run, but
it had to end sometime. X-Girl Emily
proved to be a formidable opponent and has picked up her X-Girl crew in their
season long competition against The Jeff Report.</div>
