but i'm not going to claim that i knew anything about flacco....

Dorsey was a no-brainer pick.....but QB is a more important position, and if Flacco turns into a franchise QB then he will be a better/more valuable pick....

we could look back in 5 years and say, "see, another example of why the chiefs suck"

A lot. A LOT of truth in all of this.

I envision Matt Flynn, Alex Smith, Mike Vick as our QB next year;
Joekel with the 1st pick.

.....and I'll puke in my hat.

Flacco would have been nice, but coaching goes a long way too.

Yup.

It's the fear of being wrong.

Apparently this doesn't matter if we take some true-fan position but a QB......OH, well **** us if we miss on one QB...

Being wrong is one thing, and being afraid of being wrong is another. This Organization just flat out stopped trying at that position (relative to drafting and developing your own QB).

I'm still holding out hope for the next Mike Elkins........

Had we passed on Dorsey, we'd be banging our heads for the next 15 years thinking about why we passed on him. IMO, Dorsey with just about any DC who's team picked after us would turn Dorsey into a monster.

Flacco instead of Brandon Albert is a better question. Seriously folks, I know everyone is stinging from Ryan Sims, but Dorsey is going to be a stud. Period.

Absolutely not. Dorsey was a no-brainer pick. Hindsight is 20/20.

Let's see how Flacco does against a playoff defense first. Let's not forget that we're one year removed from Flacco throwing for only 34 yards against New England in the playoffs last year.

I'm just not a big fan.

He has great disposal of weapons in Baltimore. He came into a perfect situation with a dominating defense.

That has looked horrible for 80% of his career.

Welp, thread over.....

Can we just change your name to Bump?

No because he'd be out of the league by now. Chiefs suck at QB grooming due to lack of experience

Holy shit, this is like seeing Jesus' face in a pile of candy wrappers in an Arrowhead stairwell.

My reading: hopeful plea to a higher power to save us from the abyss of mediocrity, uttered as a tentative question.

Best silver-lining I can come up with now that Dorsey noted that Alex Smith is our "QB of the future."
