A lot of great QBs have come in the first round, no matter what pick. That is an obvious statement, but my point is, no matter where we land in the draft, we have to take a QB with our first pick. It's gonna be a low pick. I don't give a shit if ESPNs reeruned little draft shopping list has the next available QB projected at 10 and we're sitting #4. We take him. It's way past due for this franchise to take a chance on a first round QB.

Because the worst team usually have worse problems than just a QB. There is also going to be a learning curve for a rookie QB. Peyton won 3 games as a rookie, although guys like Rothliesburger and Ryan have bucked that trend, I don't think anyone would argue there weren't growing pains. Rothliesburger was a hand off QB and the Falcons also had one of the best run games in the league to help out Ryan.

If the Chiefs are the worst team in the league, Luck is a no-brainer. He's probably the closest thing to a sure thing there has been in awhile since he came back for his senior season and works with a pro style offense. If we get Luck or go with Stanzi we are going to need some additional tools around them. We cannot continue to try to use a butter knife as a screwdriver and call it good. This team has way too many holes to be a championship contender even if we find a QB.

And what are those holes, oh wise one?

Am I the only one who looked at KnowMo's post & wanted to reply, then saw who posted it & restrained myself?



Anyway, if any of those teams get more than 3 wins, you can pretty much take them out of the race. 0-16, 1-15 or 2-14 will be a good chance, but 3-13 or better is unlikely to net pick #1. Unless I missed something & Indy ruled out Peyton for the year, I could see him coming back & getting them a W or 3 at the end of the year. Miami's a decent team and should get some wins, but we play them and assuming we lose, can knock them down a peg. Most of the other teams listed just drafted a QB and likely wouldn't take Luck IMO (barring injury, or just really really really crappy play from their rookie QB).

Seattle's our biggest competition & my main concern, but since they play in such a garbage division, I can see them putting together 4 or so wins. Plus, Petey recruited/coached Barkley at USC and hasn't exactly made the most shrewd football moves since taking over in Seattle. I'm not saying he'd definitely take Barkley over Luck if given the chance, but there's a possibility IMO.

So first you keep saying we aren't bad enough to get Luck. Now that we basically proved that we are in it for the long haul this is your next step?

First off wouldn't SF be the better bet for Luck throwing a fit?

Second, IF the Chiefs got the #1 pick there is NO way under any circumstances they would trade him to Denver.

I hesitated, did it anyway. I have not been here that long, but not trying to be funny, when I read his posts in my head its the voice of a 16yr old.

I think you are overrating the Cardinals, and Browns by leaving them off that list.

And eventually Whitehurst will be inserted at QB and that team will then look ALOT better. Jackson is THAT bad.

He's not coming back, but Collins and that team have to much pride to lose. Kerry Collins is still learning that offense. Either he will improve or Painter will be put in. They have alot of talent.. they will end up winning more games than us. Obviously, for anyone playing for the #1 pick, the Indy game ends up being huge. It's also the next game we have a chance of winning though.

Yeah, they are a good team. They will begin winning at some point.
