This.

Good thing we aren't banging our heads lol.

Look at the thread creation date. Alot of Us knew back then it was a mistake to pass on a QB.

WOW, HOLY SHIT, I DIDN'T THINK TO LOOK?!?

the bump was what I was referring to, obviously.

Prophetic.

I hope we draft Lotulelei or Joeckel.

That will get us competing for sure.

Well, except for you didn't really say anything back when you started this thread. You didn't at all say that it was a mistake to pass on Flacco.

Solid reminder that a QB with a lot of natural talent can still take a few years to reach his full potential. Doesn't mean he has to suck early, as Flacco clearly wasn't "bad," but he has been an ascending player for some time.

In his prime now, though.

Translation he hit age 27/28 thats when they start winning Super Bowls.

It is. I think the same is true of Matt Ryan. I wouldn't close the book on him yet either. As long as they can keep Ryan/White/Jones together they are going to be dangerous.

Honestly, another guy is Andy Dalton. He's gotten ripped on here the last couple years for choking in the playoffs... but he's gotten them there in a brutal division his first two years.

We could have had both. We used the pick we got from the Jarrad Allen fiasco that Carl created to take Branden Albert at 15 and the Ravens took Flacco at 18. So we screwed the pooch twice. This is what teams do when they are afraid to draft a QB. They watch other teams go to the Super Bowl.

This is a solid reminder Carl P handicapped this franchise & Glenn Dorsey is crap.

I can't get upset now about anyone the Chiefs have passed on the last several years. If the Chiefs had a better quarterback instead of Cassel, they'd have won a few more games, and we'd still have Scott ****ing Polio as the general manager.

From now on, I only look forward, not back.

All good points.

I have to laugh when I read some of the scouting reports or even posts on this site that say, "His upside is Matt Ryan" as if this is some type of critique.

Ryan is absolutely, no question, a franchise QB. We should be thrilled to death if we draft a QB who ends up being this good.

Hell, I'd give away the Chiefs entire draft in '13 to have Matt Ryan, who will turn 28 this spring.

Should the Chiefs have drafted Kaepernick over Poe.... stop it with these questions when the answer is so blatantly obvious that it frustrates the fans because their drafting has sucked for so long.

The Chiefs should have drafted any QB over these position players we have that keep getting brought up.

Seriously? Flacco, Rodgers, who is it gonna be next? Yes, yes, yes!

You need a QB to win!
