Somebody has finally knocked some sense into the head of Clark Hunt. Well, partially at least. After an atrocious three months of football for Romeo Crennel and his Kansas City Chiefs team, cornerback Stanford Routt was released, Crennel gave one of his jobs to Gary Gibbs, and Shaun Smith has returned to the defensive line.The announcement came on Monday, four days after a terrible loss to the San Diego Chargers, 31-13, on ‘Thursday Night Football.’ The Chiefs gave up another four turnovers, increasing their total to 29, the highest in the league.It is no secret that this team has not been able to perform at the caliber they should, and things are not looking good for the Chiefs. If not for the overtime thriller at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in Week 5, this could have been a Jim Schwartz disaster all over again.

Can I rise to the occasion Juan?
Jon Baldwin was on a tear this Summer and looked like he had a shot at breaking out. Well, the entire Chiefs offense has been in neutral for most of the season and their QB situation is a mess. Still, the Chiefs need to see what they have in Baldwin for 2013 and beyond as Dwayne Bowe will most likely been gonesky.
Crennel said: “He has not produced...

So, Brady Quinn has been ruled out this week. Who cares? Matt Cassel only has eyes for Bowe, but will have issues throwing from his back against the Steelers. After this game, Quinn will be back under center and Bowe will have little value.
The Chiefs released Rout and are looking to rebuild. I’m not sure why didn’t shop Bowe...
