Chiefs fans want to believe cornerback Stanford Routt will be a positive addition to the team's ever-improving defense. They want to believe general manager Scott Pioli's decision to sign Routt — and all but close the door on the possibility of retaining cornerback Brandon Carr — was a smart and calculated risk in terms of football economics.
They want to believe the Chiefs aren't cheap, and that this was the right decision.
It's just, right now, that's merely impossible.

Allowing Bowe and/or Carr to walk would be indefensible
If general manager Scott Pioli is simply sticking to a tried-and-true Patriot Way-stricken plan, then let me be the first to say the outline is utterly unidentifiable.
Because it's hard to imagine the Kansas City Chiefs as an on-field improvement in 2012 without wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and cornerback Brandon Carr aiding the surge.
With NFL free-agency set to begin in less than a month, that nightmare is slowly becoming a bleak reality.

Manning presents a golden opportunity for the Chiefs
Peyton Manning may not be healthy. Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli may not be willing.
Past that, though, in-lies a golden opportunity for a team and quarterback who'd each be crazy not to at least entertain the possibility of a future together.

Babb's story proves these Chiefs are a sad joke
The worst part about Kent Babb's bombshell story in The Kansas City Star Sunday?
We'd been led to believe the circus was over.

For Crennel to matter, Pioli must adjust
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli is assuring fans they should feel excited about this day, but in reality, how can they be?
"Let us go through the process," stresses new head coach Romeo Crennel.
Oh boy.

Pioli needs to pick a coach and get on with it
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli is already a day late and a dollar short. What the hell is he waiting for?
If Romeo Crennel is to be the team's next permanent head coach, the thing should have been done yesterday. Literally.

Chiefs' mediocrity is a product of the NFL parity-machine
The Kansas City Chiefs are mediocre.
Nothing breakthrough here. It's been the case for at least a decade and a half now. The real question is why, and more to the point, why don't they do anything about it?
