Here's an odd way of looking at the Kansas City Chiefs running back situation heading into 2012: They could lose last season's leading rusher, 60 percent of the depth chart in free agency and actually get significantly better next season.

So, that happened. Another NFL season has come and gone. Forgive my lack of enthusiasm as I watched the New York Giants win the Super Bowl for the fourth time in my lifetime, and the New England Patriots lose it for the fourth time .

I'm not talking about Clark Hunt or Scott Pioli or even Romeo Crennel. Those men all lead the team in some capacity but only Crennel is likely to make a major impact one way or the other once the players hit the field on Sunday.

He can sit their best players on the bench and once the Rapist gets injured on comes Tyler Palko! Hey we play the Steelers next year.

A lot of the prognostications we've done so far about what offensive talent the Kansas City Chiefs are probably eye-balling is thus far worthless.

The NFL is a passing league, and teams need to be deep at the receiver position.

Since Dexter McCluster is one of the smallest players in the NFL, the ongoing issue the Chiefs have is not just how to utilize him on offense, but also how much to play him.He was a running back last year after spending most of his rookie season as a slot receiver.

The Chiefs have a lot of Big Contracts of their own to address this off season. The most talked about of all 22, are the contracts of WR Dwayne Bowe , and CB Brandon Carr .

The Kansas City Chiefs are down at the Senior Bowl looking for the players that will eventually fill out the 2012 NFL draft board.
