I do think it's fair to perhaps grade any "Why didn't we take a QB!?!?" complaints on a curve here.

I mean, we were stuck in the wilderness for a half decade with Howdy Doody under center. We were all a little nuts then.

CP might as well have stood for Chocolate Pain for about 10 weeks there.

I'll give some folks a bit of a pass. Except for that guy who said we didn't need a TE because we have Broeaki and Fasano. That's a bridge too dumb.

I already apologized for my jabroni behavior when we drafted Kelce.

I have since attempted to deflect attention away by pointing at Clay in the months before we drafted Mahomes, but that still doesn’t excuse my behavior.

I’m not beyond shitting on draft prospects the moment they become Chiefs, especially if they’re obvious (Breeland Speaks, anyone?) but Kelce wasn’t that kind of prospect.

At the time I just wanted blood to be spilled, and if it was innocent blood, so much the better.

There will be a day when my takes on how “the game has passed Andy by” in fall 2015 will be used to bury me. I fully admit I deserve the burial when the time comes, and am simply enjoying biding my time since then.

My year+ long moaning about losing Dorsey can be used to roast eulogy me afterwards.

We just signed Anthony Fasano this off season. We have Moeaki. Those are both guys that average 400-600 yards a season.

And we spend the first pick of the 3rd round on another one? Sad.

You think this is good? Really?

:LOL:

SNR is my favorite.

Gold Jerry, Gold!

at least SNR can admit he was wrong. Most people would just avoid the thread and pretend it didn't happen.

Lmao

The TJ carpenter tweet "most scouts compare him to gronk" nailed that and then some

There's no shame in being wrong. The shame is in doubling and tripling down.

This is a good point. Reid hadn't coached a game yet, and this place was reeling.

I didn't comment on Kelce because I really didn't know who he was. Seriously, who would have known he was going to be the greatest to ever play the position?

GMF making a big to do about Travis spiking the Lombardi at his Festival. They are acting like it was the real trophy.

This thread should probably be pinned to the top of the board before each and every draft.

The responses from the CP draft braintrust to drafting Kelce are classic.

Andy could have gotten something out of him, guaranteed.

If anyone could have gotten something out of him back then, it was Andy Reid.

Still, you gotta wonder WTF happened with him. Didn't he start out rated highly as the #1 QB on the board and then as it got closer to the draft he fell? Perhaps teams saw something majorly wrong with him. Something was a red flag, I assume. Attitude or something like that. And it turns out they were right. And maybe it took Geno a decade to mature to the point where he could be a serviceable NFL QB. Man, I would loved to have been a fly on the wall when NFL teams were discussing him.
