Even if the Chief's knew who they wanted to take as the #1 pick why would they tip their hand?

Even if they were gung-ho about a QB, it would be terrible business to say so.

It reduces their trade opportunities to be in love with 1 player, and it gives the agent of that player a bigger dick to sodomize them with in negotiations.

I guess we just have to realize that between now and April 25th, there are going to be a lot of smoke screens and false leaks to attract offers, mess with other teams, etc.

I should probably just stay off Twitter/CP/etc. until then...but I just, can't, turn away.

He was saying they wouldn't work well together wasn't he?

Think if we can somehow trick a team into swapping us 1st pick and getting an extra 2nd round pick, and still scoop Geno 15th overall....:evil:

there's not much to negotiate in rookie contracts

not sure, I was kind of confused

something about the reid-GM-Clark thing he didn't like...but I don't think it was about dorsey specifically...could be wrong

Sam Bradford was the last guy to dip into that.

Tell me the benefit, besides making a bunch of people on here happy, that saying what you are doing in the draft?

Nevermind the fact that there will be new scouts here with their opinions, a new GM and the combine hasn't even happened or pro days.

i don't why he said they were interested in trading down...ask Clark

TheFilmRoom‏@TheFilmRoom

The owner of a team that trotted out Croyle/Huard/Thigpen/Cassel/Palko doesn't see the value at QB with the #1 pick. Consider the source.

My goodness, if we tipped our hand about drafting a QB, then no one would give us a good offer on Matt Cassel.

Because hes the owner and dosnt know shit

Clark, if any of your minions check out social websites to see how you are doing, here's a bit of advice.

"No clear cut QB to take at #1" = BAD, expect banners to fly.

"There are several good QB's in this draft that have us intrigued" = Good.

When did he say he didn't see the value at QB?

LOL holy shit.

I knew he's likely the best GM in the league but that's incredible.

I do not expect us to draft a QB at #1. I won't be too upset if we don't though I lena towards hoping we do. It isn't like we are passing on Andrew Luck.

:facepalm:

:facepalm:

jfc.

Q

:p

If you could trade down and still get Geno or Wilson, fine. But thats taking a chance on not getting either, then you could potentially be forced to use some of the picks you gained to trade back up to get the 4th or 5th best Qb at the end of round 1.

Why take the chance?

:facepalm:

Precisely !!

Yeah, everyone says that there is no clear cut No.1 QB pick at 1 or even a clear overall No.1 pick in general but by the time all the media draftubators(Mayock,Kiper,McShay) assess all the film, combine results, college pro days, you can bet they will be putting on the 'kneepads' for someone:rolleyes:

What was the last first overall pick that wasn't a Qb that actually worked out and legitimately made his team a SB contender?

And in the next interview he should say there's numerous players they like.

Reading into this now is just foolish.

:facepalm:

Sweet.....everyone is back to freaking the **** out for no reason at all.

Keyword is team in there

Thank you

WE might be able to trade back to 5-10 and still land Geno/Wilson. Don't panic. Reid is gonna want a fresh QB to work with I have little doubt he's gonna take one high.

The draft is a long way off, over three months away and people want Clark to announce the pick. LMAO

Clark said it, not me...

i never asked anyone to tell us who they're drafting...i'd just like - one time in 30+ years - to hear someone from this franchise say that the nfl is a QBs league, and that everything starts with the QB...

it isn't an unreasonable desire, imo, given that this franchise has actively downplayed the importance of QB for decades...

but hey, you can deal with failure in your own way...by pretending they do 'get it' in the face of all evidence saying otherwise...I'll deal with it in mine

I, for one, am thankful! All of this :grouphug: shit was getting on my nerves!

yes, we should prioritize value....i need more people to tell me how much they want to trade down

Yeah, ok. I listened to the rest of the segment, and the guy clearly doesn't like Andy Reid.

yeah...big splash of cold water


but given the last few years in philly, understandable....

amen

Gonna be a long 2 or 3 months on CP.

We have the first pick.

There's no real strategy or secrecy there.

We stay and sign the guy or we trade.

That's it...

LMAO...the Chiefs on the other hand...

It's like looking at the tree and wrapped gifts and you can't open them for 3.5 months...

This going to be a looooonnnnngggggg off season this year...

It boggles my mind that people are legitamitely worried about anything Clark said. He knows the team needs which is why he ridded us of the prior regime and is going after all the big fish for the staff and front office. Given what has transpired so far I would think people would be more willing to trust he will do the right thing and make sure the team drafts a QB. Clark isn't the one that downplayed the importance of the QB for 30 years.

yup

bb gun or ugly sweater....

Thanks for slapping me in the face with reality.

The last couple of days have been pretty depressing.

how'd that work out last time Clark cleaned house?

shiny new QB?

Why shouldn't we be worried? This is our future of the team at stake here. This is our chance to get it right or get it wrong. We havn't picked a QBotf in the first round for 30 some years. Just because Clark has taken over he is letting the GM and Coach make the pick and it could go anywhere.

I'm worried and going to express that untill it is known fact what we do with the pick.

Pioli will never draft a safety that high, I guarantee it.

Sounds like you are going to worry yourself a lot over something you have zero control over.

Why not? They have the number one pick, no one can jump us

You don't think Clark learned his lesson by giving all the control to one person? I would say he did hence the organizational changes.

Because prior to the combine, the individual workouts and player interviews I would hope they don't ****ing KNOW who they are going to draft yet.

Oh wait, we haven't even hired a GD GM yet.

JFC people.

ah...the zombie myth from peter king

Worrying about whether or not we draft a QB is different than worrying about what is said in an interview 3.5 months out by the owner before he even has an announced GM. He said a lot without really saying anything so there is no need to look to deeply into any one thing he said here.

has what to do with the QB?

Truth is their is no clear cut #1 QB because the top 3 are all about the same, its just the flavor that you like. Its a damn good quarterback class - Barkley, Smith or Wilson are all good quarterbacks and will have nice NFL careers.

I have an outlet right here to express myself with my concern. :)

I'm not freaking out with the combine right around the corner I know things change & stock for these guys go up and down like a yoyo.


They may do something in the draft I don't like but could open up to it if it works out. Nothing changes the fact I want us to draft a QBotf with our top pick.

The thing that sucks is that the raiders have a shot at one of those guys.

God I hope we get ours first.

Its no more a myth than the shit ur saying about Hunt not drafting a qb because of one interview.

Damn good? Not what I hear. I tend to rely on people here to educate me on college players but outside of CP I don't hear great things about some of these guys, particularly Smith.

Gee, I don't know, perhaps now with Clark more involved he will voice his opinion come draft time which will in all likelihood be geared towards a QB considering the last time he cleaned house he let one person control everything which had bad results.

That is what learning is. You make a mistake and learn from it. He isn't stupid. He knows we need a QB and between him and Reid and Dorsey? (who both know the value of a first round QB) we will do the same.

Oh, I'm not worried about what he said. I'm worried overall with my expectations to actually get to take a QB & this is our best chance in mega years to get a good one from the draft and I just don't want them to muck it up with trading down and missing out on that guy.


I worry about this because I give a shit & care what they do. What they say now isn't apart of that worry. It's others that say there isn't a QB worth the pick or others that say we should get a retread from FA. That kind of bull shit is what pisses me off the most.

no, it's true based on 30 years of data

this organization doesn't value QBs and as a result hasn't drafted one...that includes Clark

you can choose to believe otherwise, but not based on any real world information...

in other words, you live in a fantasy world...like most chiefs fans

Its because you are an idiot listening to those ****tards.

Jags apparently no longer want Tebow.

Watch us pass on a QB and the Jags draft a top 10 QB for the 2nd time in the last 3 years.

right

so we can't read into Clark's words...that's laughable

but we can read into Clark's intentions....that's just common sense

check

:rolleyes:

Yep. You are right. Hunt said that there isn't a clear cut number 1 QB in this draft, so we should ****ing pack up and go home. Nothing to see here. Franchise is forever doomed. Shit.

What a bunch of whiny ****s this place produces sometimes. You are a smart guy. You normally give good takes. But to scream the sky is falling after this interview is absolute the most ridiculous thing ever.

What Clark values most is trusting the guys he hires to do their job and leaves it up to them. He is not a meddling owner like JJ. He trust his guys & believes that they will make the right decisions for this organization. If his guys want to get a retread & talk him into it he will sign off on it. I think he does want a QB from the draft but would allow the Coach and GM make that decision.

The Jags don't want Tebow....but the GM has also come out and said that he hasn't given up on Gabbert yet. He said that coming out of the draft he knew that Gabbert was going to be a long term project. He's also stated there will be a QB competition next season. AND now Rotoworld is stating that the Jags may be looking to Greg Roman as their next HC....and that Roman and Alex Smith might be a package deal.

Yeah....I know that's a lot of IFs.

:popcorn:

Take a ****ing chill pill dude. I WOULD be worried slightly if the GM had said this. It was said by our owner. ****ing BEFORE the combine. ****ing BEFORE we even have a GM.

Actually you could easily argue all of this. One, there is no clear cut QB like Luck was all of last year. There are differing opinions on the best QB this year, and it some people think they all stink.

And that said... you can argue Clark values the QB position. With his first big hire, he turned right around traded for his GM's preferred QB and gave him $60 million, even though he was unproven. It was a horrible, horrible decision... but you can't question the intent was to find a franchise QB over the long term. Incompentence does not equal lack of desire.

2nd round pick. Doesn't count.

I agree. The talking heads that say there isn't a QB, blah blah annoys me too. But I know what my eyes tell me and I trust that this new regime will see the same thing and see that there are some good QBs who are certainly worth the first overall pick.

I still think the Chiefs take a QB with the #1 pick despite Clark's comments.

They absolutely have to. There is no other option. It's clearly the most glaring weakness and need on the team. There is no better way to improve the position than the draft.

He is just stating that there is no blue chip for sure prospect thats a guarantee to pick at #1 for QB. Doesn't mean the Chiefs won't draft a QB though. Nothing to fret over really.

I am so much looking forward to what happens at the combine. I think that is when the decision is going be made. They will still hold out for trade options but I don't think they would trade back too far and risk out on getting the best of the three QBs. This is the biggest reason I don't want to trade back is the risk of missing out on our guy.

If we don't take Geno Smith, isn't too early to assume Dorsey and Reid are incompetent?

I truly do believe THIS.

They may not have the same rookie years as Luck, RG3, Wislon, or Newton had. Honestly though, they all three seem to possess certain degrees of the poise, IQs, maturity, work ethic, charcter, and moxy....the "intangibles" that so many over-looked in drafting guys highly like Couch, Leaf, Russell, Mirer, and Quinn. They are within protypical standards of an NFL QBs from a physical perspective.

They may not be off the charts as some of the busts were, but they fit the bill physically--and from an leadership, intelligence, and the intangibles perspective possess skills which led to the others who failed seemed quite lacking in.

exactly
