This sounds strange for a team that added veterans like Bobby Engram, Mike Goff, Mike Vrabel and Mike Brown but the Chiefs actually started the regular season about as young and inexperienced as they were to began the 2008 season.
According to league statistics, the Chiefs average age to begin the season was 25.89 years, or tied with Indianapolis for second youngest behind Green Bay. Their players had an average of 3.92 years of experience, which is tied with Jacksonville for sixth.
Last year, the Chiefs began the season averaging 25.6 years of age and 3.45 years of experience.
The Chiefs dumped many veterans during the off-season, including Donnie Edwards, Damon Huard, Pat Surtain and Tony Gonzalez.
The Chiefs have a team as youthful as the Packers and the Colts. Now, if we only had a team nearly as talented. Rebuild after rebuild and we still stink up the place. Maybe it's time to consider bringing back Vermeil, even with a walker. At least we were competitive and fun to watch. It will only be worse after the Raiders kick our untalented butts!
