Two years, that's what I meant. All other points remain the same.
And for the love of ****; do you think Pioli is going to do anything OTHER than gush over a first-round pick???

Jesus, it's like some people expected Pioli to pull Curry, Crabtree, and Monroe out of his ass all on the first day.
Pioli walked into the organization with a shitty team. He chose to go for Cassel, a proven guy from which he knows will play at a certain level instead of a college kid with one starting year under his belt.
He let TG go for a 2nd round pick next year in a draft that is expected to have more talent. I love TG but odds are the guy would have never worn a SB ring as a Chief. Pioli did both sides a favor.
I'm more than willing to let him build the team his way. It was never going to be fixed in two years and if you thought that you're a fool.
I totally understand being a Chief fan that you look at every move with pessimism but for Christ sakes after living through the Peterson years I'll give a guy with a proven track record a lot more time than 4 months.
From what I've seen of the first two rounds just be thankful you're not a Raider or Donk fan. I think those guys have real issues with the brains upstairs. [Reply]

I'm glad you didn't get your wish.
We needed Monroe like we needed Carlton Gray.
We'll get help for the line tomorrow, and we'll be ALOT better off for it. [Reply]
Bottom line about this draft is all about Cassel. If he succeeds then we win if not we are screwed especially if Sanchez turns out. It really has nothing to do with Tyson Jackson. He was the right pick for our situation, granted it was a little high for him but it was the right choice. [Reply]

Yep, that IS the overall crux of all this. I hope he's great and I hope Haley is even greater.
I just wish we could play football tomorrow to wash the stink of this day out of my head. [Reply]
