With Charlie Weis on board as Kansas City’s new offensive coordinator, the Chiefs are evolving into a great team. Or, at least, they’re evolving into the old New England Patriots.

Similarities are found from the top of the roster to the bottom:

Scott Pioli, general manager (vice president of player personnel for the Patriots from 2002-2008)

Charlie Weis, offensive coordinator (Patriots’ OC from 2000-2004)

Matt Cassell, quarterback

Matt Gutierrez, quarterback

Ryan O’Callaghan, offensive lineman

Mike Vrabel, linebacker

Now they just need to do that “win a Super Bowl” thing to finish off the evolution.
