For how many NFL teams can you say the same thing? Mahomes, Kelce, and Chris Jones are the only 3 Chiefs to start all 3 Super Bowl wins.

When they replace Mahomes and Kelce you can add them to the list.

You have to replace a franchise QB who will make the HOF to make the list.

NE, GB, Atlanta come to mind.

They didn't have a 40-year old franchise QB. The point is, roster churn is a thing.

And if this was an intentional rebuild, this offseason is proving that it was a total fail that they're trying to whitewash with Wilson, Queen, and soon to be even more OL in April.

Good thread North Coast. NFL not for long.

[Northern_Blitz]

We've certainly rebuilt the offense.

The reason that it's so cheap is because it's so young...except Wilson now, but he's also very cheap.

I think any time you move on from a QB, you're rebuilding. Especially one as good as Ben was.

Let's face it, in the modern NFL, with free agency movement, etc., you're pretty much rebuilding all the time
it's just a matter of to what degree

Churn always happens but replacing a franchise QB and the whole QB room is the real definition of a rebuild.

I think that is NC’s point.

Look at the list again. Whole units have been replaced.

Is there a point to this thread?

That's why the term "Dynasty" has lost some of it's luster. The 70's Steelers were a true dynasty. The current Chiefs only have (3) players on their roster with all (3) Super Bowl victories: Mahommes, Kelce, and Jones.

Dynasties have went the way of the dinosaur.

The franchise is still a dynasty but yes, player movement has changed how we view that term.

Every team rebuilds every year.
Using a rebuild as an excuse to be mediocre is silly.

what’s silly is accusing anyone in here of using it as an excuse.

I think NC was just showing the offense is totally new with DJ and Chuks being moved.

Not true at all for the Steelers. They kept key pieces together on offense for multiple seasons. After their last SB appearance the Steelers OL and a few skill guys were virtually intact for more than a half decade. What I am talking about is a complete wipe of the slate in 4 seasons. Unheard of for the Steelers.

The Chiefs "dynasty" is really a Mahomes/Kelce/Jones/Reid dynasty?
