Or draft him in the hopes he rapes the team you play each week....

For the record, SNR, Pestilence, myself and others said this is exactly what would happen.

As soon as the Chiefs were no longer considered serious suitors for a QB, he'd rocket up the boards.

He'll go 1.1 unless Reid and Dorsey go full reerun and decide they must have Luke Joeckel.

Yes... it is VAST media conspiracy to keep the Chiefs from ever having a franchise QB.

I don't think that's what he was implying at all. Guess again.


Everyone in America KNOWS that the Chiefs go after Retread QB's and do not draft their own.... therefore there wasn't much a of a story to write about Geno going #1 overall to the Chiefs. Now that the Chiefs have their QB's set, there is possibility of Geno working his way up to #1 (via trade?) for a team with greater national presence than the KC Chiefs. This makes a better story, and makes more sense... so you are going to see it in Mocks and media publicity.

This has a 1% chance of happening......but it still makes sense.

1. You have your Veteran QB that will be the starter in 2013.
2. You have a capable backup who has a clause in his contract that states that if he throws for more than 12 TDs or 2000 yards...his contract will void.
3. You draft your QBoTF and he gets to sit a year to get knowledge from the starter, OC, QB coach and HC.

At the end of 2013.....you can realistically cut or trade Alex Smith if Geno is ready. You'd have Chase as his backup. Or if Alex got injured and Chase had to play....it would pretty much void his contract after thisyear. You would ggointo 2014 with Geno Smith and either one of the other two.

The 'pimping of Geno' has finally begun as expected and it will only get bigger these next 6 weeks which only favors the Chiefs. The Chiefs either select him to develop into our QBOTF or select him and trade or trade out with some team that doesn't trust the Jags NOT to take him. Hell, maybe the Jags don't trust those teams behind them NOT to swap out with the Chiefs and will swap with the Chiefs and the Chiefs recoup their 2nd IF they don't want Geno:shrug:

This is good:clap:

If the Chiefs draft him and let him sit for a year or so, id be completely cool with that.

It's not a conspiracy. It's just pointing out the fact that the majority of the media are clueless idiots that piggyback each other's bad opinions.

It's the NFL and Alex is a big boy now. COMPETE or GTFO !!:rolleyes:

And the Chiefs are a flyover team that isn't a glamour pick at all.

The media just doesn't give a flying shit about the Chiefs so they weren't viewing this QB class objectively. Granted, if it were Luck sitting there, they'd have still crowed about him but if there was anyone that wasn't a generational guy, he was going to be undersold as 'not worth the pick' because what fun is having a team like the Chiefs take the 'big' pick of the draft?

It wasn't a media conspiracy, it was standard, predictable laziness on the part of ESPN and their talking heads.

Jets, Raiders among teams showing interest in Geno Smith

Geno Smith threw well at West Virginia’s Pro Day, and talk is increasing that he’s going to be not just the first quarterback taken but one of the first players off the board at any position. And we can add the Jets and the Raiders to the list of the teams believed to be interested.

The Newark Star-Ledger says the Jets have interest in Smith, while the Contra Costa Times suggests the Raiders are interested in drafting Smith.

Previous reports have suggested that the Jaguars are interested, and the Eagles sent a contingent to West Virginia to get a private workout with Smith.

The Jaguars have the second overall pick, the Raiders have the third, the Eagles have the fourth and the Jets have the ninth. From all indications, Smith won’t be getting out of the Top 10.

And if there’s some other team out there that really loves Smith, that team may need to start thinking about placing a call to the Chiefs.

If Alex is such a bitch that he can't handle this team drafting for the future.....then he can go some place else.

My thoughts exactly:clap:

Wait till Barkley throws, then we will have a two man race.

Also a possibility that Barkley has been their guy the entire time.
