Am I to believe that you were in the the war room and knew that the Chiefs wouldnt draft Stafford if he was there?
Tell me why, Weiss not needing the money an OC gets, wouldnt down right require the Chiefs to draft Claussen when he was there in the second. Its a guy he recruited and saw for 3 yrs. Think about it...... Weiss takes a job he doesnt need and has a clear chance to draft a QB that he knows better than anyone on this board. ....... and doesnt take him.
Serving up a tee shot by submitting. but its good entertainment.

Yes, it is about stuff that we already know, but the problem here is that some members who are, let's simply put them in the "Cassel supporters" category, if you will. Apparently they are the ones that are refusing to believe that 1+1=2 formula, or simply put that they are not understanding why 1+1=2. So in order for them to understand why Cassel is not a foundation you'd want to build around, they need to be shown his fundamental flaws have not, up to this point, been corrected, and I highly doubt it will be corrected anytime soon.
And no, I wasnt, nor any other CP members were in the warroom with the Chiefs on the year that Stafford was drafted. But that argument of Stafford is pretty much irrevelent, since it was obvious that he was going to Detroit, and the Chiefs had no chance of getting him anyways. They did, however, had a chance to get Sanchez, but they blew it by picking Jackson, who, as of this point, also have not shown me any progress either, but that's another day for a discussion.
But that 2009 NFL Draft the Chiefs had, outside of Succop, have not shown us anything. I'd say that I would have gone a different direction than what they had in mind, without a doubt, if I was in charge.
And as far as Weis is concerned, there are probably multiple reasons. Again, I am speculating, but one is, maybe that in ND, he knew what his limitations were as a QB, that he could get away in the college level, but not in the NFL. Another is, maybe he did want to draft him, but may have been overruled by a higher authority. It's not uncommon at times, to be overruled by a higher authority. See Carl Peterson/Vermeil LJ incident in question.
Although, the LJ incident was a first rounder, not a second rounder, it's probably Pioli's way of saying "We're not drafting a QB, come hell or high water."
Or maybe Weis is being prideful, thinking he can shape Cassel to be a decent QB, like what Gunther said about shaping Robinson's players, and we all knew how that turned out.
In all, as much shit as Tyler Thigpen gets around here, and some of them are valid, at least he MADE the game interesting, unlike Matt Cassel.
