I'd rather wait until 2013. If you want a QB to test out, bring in Clausen--he's better than anyone you're going to find after Tannehill (who I think is a decent pick, but hell no if it's going to be at #11).

I think 2013 will end up being not a better class, but it's going to have a ton more second-tier first round talent (in my opinion, Tannehill is second round talent being forced into a #1 pick by desperate teams).

The idea that you build through the draft and not free agency is a common sense principle that everybody knows, yet we are so firmly convinced that St. Louis would do the exact opposite... even with a blue chip pick.

They have a lot of young core players on the roster they've drafted. Taking on ONE second contract player would be the worst thing in the world...you're right. The additional picks and their own picks in this draft are obviously not enough to help build that team. They need that ONE more. They need it. They do.

You act as though they are in KC's situation when KC started rebuilding to the present. There is one HUGE difference between us and them. They believe they have the single most important piece to the puzzle on their roster already. We don't, and won't anytime soon unless Stanzi is it.

Your thinking is flawed. You don't want KC to jump up to get a QB b/c it could set us back. News flash. All the talent on this roster will be wasted if KC doesn't get a legit QB.

Likewise, every year St. Louis isn't trying to win, is wasting the years of their franchise QB. So they build this team for "the future", how big is their window if you throw away the next 3+ yrs?

Not every team is as lucky as Indianapolis, they don't all luck into back to back legit franchise QB's.

Of course for KC, even if it turned out to be a giant fail ala Ricky Williams, its just another fail that can be added to the nearly two decades of fail seasons theyve already racked up.

Im fine either way. I doubt we get RG3, but if we do it will certainly be exciting to see how it turns out.

I figure Manning is KC's best shot at a real QB this year and thats a huge longshot.

Chiefs should just draft as strongly as they can this year, and try to make do with Orton, Stanzi, or worst case scenario Matt Cassel if they cannot get Manning.

you can for a franchise QB, something we've never had.

Orton was a mole.

You create your own luck. To think Indy could have brought in either Garrard or Orton but did not is quite telling.

I see you already think we are going to be 2-14.:(

I wish Pioli had Dimitroff's balls...he'd do it.

I see RGIII being a very successful NFL QB and one that can win a SB so IMO the price isn't too high.

You can make the argument we're one franchise QB away from going deep in the playoffs or even contending for a Super Bowl so why not take that chance? I would be just fine if we went for it and it didn't work out as opposed to not even trying.

Len Dawson wasn't a franchise QB? Three AFL Championships, two SBs, one SB win. NFL Hall of Fame. Not a franchise QB? Really?

Idiot the chargers wanted eli .But baby ass eli said I won`t play in SD so sd traded players with the giants who already drafted rivers.So if was not for eli crying he would be a charger.So wake up.And the playing it safe crap that is clearly giving you a hardon that was all Lamar hunt. That prick cared more about his other bussinesses than the chiefs.SO whats he do he hires the ultamate playing it safe guy in Carl peterson. So you need to go smoke some crack or whatever you do and calm the **** down and see how things play out.Now go night night.LMAO

Well really dawson was just a back up in pitsburgh. Hank wanted him to come run the system and he did very well yes. However dawson yet good was very average. Yes we won the sb but the d at that time was lights out. Dawson was just a system qb. See a trend? KC has had a long history of going and getting other teams backups and making them starters.

1987

The last time a first round pick quarterback started for this team.

That can't be right, can it?

Three AFL championships, two SBs (one win). Starter for more than ten years. That is the very definition of franchise QB.

Well really Favre was just a backup in Atlanta.

We will draft an o-lineman in my head after trading down

Favre would have drank himself out of the league in Atlanta.
