This is good news. Now we can draft Aaron Rodgers' brother next year or whenever he comes out.

I'm pissed as anyone that this draft sucks for qbs, but it's not a death blow.

If Manning is out there, pay him for 2 years and grab a guy the following year. We just can't sit idle though if he is with the potential to waste the prime years of the true superstars we have on this team.

I agree. Drafting a QB is out the window now, IMO. It's time to go stop gap. Again. But at least we can take advantage of the talent we have now and continue to get better in the mean time as well. I was against going after a guy like Manning but we really don't have any other options now. I wouldn't mind Orton staying but if Manning is healthy get him. Or we could go another year with Cassel and that would most definitely get us a top QB next year in the draft...

Heh, very true.

Yeah, Jordan has one year left, and wouldn't grade as first round or even close yet. But he made great strides for Vandy this year, is working hard and, well, doing the best he can with some rather shoddy pass protection. Fun prospect for next year...

But Luck is the best prospect to come out since Manning, he's in that class.


Steve Young is a lesson for everyone here. When you say "the QB wins or loses" and the other 45 actives don't matter, you get results like Tampa dumping Steve Young on the Niners...

Steve Young was not the problem in Tampa. The supporting cast was, as it was for Vinnie after...

And no, that is not any assessment or comparison to any current Chief QB...

ESPN ticker says Bob Stoops has a gut feeling that Landry Jones is going to stay in college too.

That would be smart for him. His stock dropped big time after Broyles went down.

Tottally disagree. Now is the time or never to draft the best Qb prospect we can trade up for.

This team with the return of Berry, Charles and Moeaki (well obviously there will be some other injured players next year but we'll probably be a bit more lucky) will be better next year even if Cassell is our starting QB and that will give us a 1st round draft pick even lower than this year.

I sincerely don't understand any fan saying let's not force things and let's wait to see if we'll be in a better spot next year to draft a top QB prospect.

This team is stacked of talent and is a decent QB away from a superbowl run and that for many years if we can actually find one.

If the Colts beat Jacksonville and either Rams or Vikings get the pick Ponder or Bradford wouldn't be bad options for the Chiefs to go get. Even though I full expect Cleveland would be the leader in that hunt.

I wouldn't pay higher than a 2nd for either of them.

From what looked like a strong draft at QB with four first round choices, is now looking pretty weak with only two.

DuhChiefs 12-23-2011 06:50 PM

I wouldn't mind.. Orton, Stanzi and Bradford (:

O.city 12-23-2011 06:52 PM

Bradford wouldn't be brought in to be the backup. I wouldn't give up a first for him. I just don't see him thriving in an offense that isn't the WCO.

The price is too steep to get a QB this year. Who will come in and save this franchise in this year's draft after Luck and RG3? I don't see Pioli trading up to get any player.

I think the Luck potential for busting is just like any other high draft pick.


Let's not forget who his coach was in college for a few years. It's the same coach that manages to cover most of Alex Smith's faults, and I wouldn't be surprised if Luck fails if he goes to a team with shitty coaching.

The media hype is so blinding that we have failed to notice his slight dropoff since Harbaugh left.
