Just makes that selection a riskier pick, and you need to have both eyes wide open to make that choice. |

The problem is weeding out the less talented from those that do have the talent to succeed. |

Ive always been of the mindset, a player sucks because he sucks.
There is no "perfect situation" in which to draft a good young QB. If you have a need for one and are in position to make your team better, you do it. I cant believe alot of Chiefs fans still sit around and wonder why these franchise has suffered for decades?? Shouldnt it be fairly obvious by now? |
In fairness here a lot of the Tedford QB's that failed had other major flags, Akili Smith was a 1 year starter that was also dumb as a box of rocks, Kyle Boller's career completion percentage was under 50%.

I love threads like these that get bumped.

Every year, the answer becomes even more obvious.

Derrick Johnson is going to look like a monster when hes lineing up next to Kindle and McClain with Hali and them being aloud to roam free behind our star line of Dorsey, Franklin, and Jackson. Crennel will whip this defense into shape without Herm, Gun, and Krumri here slowing the development.

I was mildly joking. But at the same time he was pretty good in limited action this year. I don't think we should get rid of him to get rid of him.. we need to keep him until better players have pushed him off the roster which realistically wont be for a few more years.
|
In 2005, A) I was blind and thought Vermeil would get us a Super Bowl win with a defense and B) Tedford QBs sacred me.
|
No, because then we would have lost to the Cardinals in the playoffs.

But of all those hires, Dick is the one I hated the most after Herman ****ing Edwards. His Chiefs teams performed at about the level I expected. |
Why there isn't more hatred around here for Grandpa is a mystery to me.
He and CP were a poisonous mix for the long-term viability of the franchise. |

Basically Dick's years was getting blue balls from a hot chick, while Herm's was getting blue balls from an ugly one. Same result but the hot chick you could brag alittle bit. |

How many circus catches did Jennings make in the Arizona game alone today? Put Rodgers in an offense where he is throwing to the likes of Lance Long, Bobby Wade, Dwayne Bowe, Chris Chambers, etc and a group of WRs that leads the league in dropped passes and he isn't going to look much better than Cassel did this year. |
In hindsight, yes. But at the time I would have been PISSED OFF if we had taken Aaron Rogers. I remember at around pick 12 when DJ was on the board and the Chargers didn't take them. I was thinking, OMFG he's still there! This can't be! Pick 13, 14 when Carolina was on the board. There was a few routes they could go but they went with an LB and it WASN'T DJ!!! I was sitting there for the next fifteen minutes going... "OH MY GOD THIS IS GOING TO BE SO KICK ASS!"
I have never been happier about a draft pick in my whole life. I know in hindsight this is reeruned, but I seriously thought he could be the next Derrick Brooks. Maybe he still could be under the right situations (which aren't in KC :(). |

And for the record a guy by the name of Jared Allen was drafted under the Vermeil regime... a guy who could have been a cornerstone for the Chiefs rebuilding efforts on defense... a guy who Herm/Dictator Carl traded away in 2008. |

We were the only team in college or pros that Dick Vermiel didnt take to the championship game that he coached. He was a great coach. GREAT |
there's not much hate from me for grandpa dick because those years were entertaining, and that's why I watch.

Or tecmobowlesque for those of us from that generation |

But the push to win now and his complete inability to draft--and, yes, Grandpa was running the show almost entirely when he was in town, LJ aside--absolutely killed this franchise. This organization would likely be exponentially better off had DV never come to town. Funny that Herm gets the majority of the criticism around here. His plan to build a team was 100 percent correct. The problem was that he wasn't (and isn't) up to the challenge. |
Quote:
He really didn't want to come out of retirement, but Carl talked him into it. All the blame, should rest squarely on Carl Peterson's shoulders, not DVs. |

Plenty of time? Sure, but we truly started rebuilding in '08 (thanks, Carl) and had a fantastic draft. The new regime and the new direction, however, undermined any of that potential progress, as we started over again. |

The Chiefs started mortgaging the future just to get Grandpa in the first place, giving up multiple day one picks. Anyone who was excited about this was being ridiculously shortsighted. The truth is, the owner never should have allowed CP to give up that kind of compensation for a coach. |
Is this a trick question?

I hated his dumb ass when he was the Jets coach, and I sure as hell never wanted his dumb ass as the Chiefs coach. About the only person with less intelligence on the planet than Herman ****ing Edwards is you. |

Dick had become to soft and loyal, and given the kind of authority that Carl gives his head coaches, I never had any confidence that he would get the job done. In the end, I was right. |
Aron Rodgers is Buck Rodgers. I love Buck Rodgers. (first few seasons).
So yes, we should have taken him! And Arron Gray! |
If we had signed a couple players to help get the defense to respectability (Javon Kearse when he was on the market, Ty Law 05)
|
Yes, we should have gotten Rogers, and Freeney instead of Sims. And Bob Sanders instead of Junior, and... :)
|
Bump... :)

I was glad to have gotten DJ, but there was a part of me that wanted us to draft rodgers. the only thing that scared me is that every other of tedford's proteges had failed miserably. in that, rodgers has bucked the odds.
|
nope

So the consenses is yes then?

"Should the Chiefs have drafted Joe Montana instead of Mike Bell?" |

Yeah I think Rodgers would have been the better choice.

Rodgers is playing at a high level now, but he has a shitload of talent around him in the Green Bay passing game.
Put him in the Chiefs offense and he'd be better than Cassel, but wouldn't be putting up the #'s he's putting up in Green Bay. |

Shit, we could probably pick a QB on the board from every draft in the last 15 years. |
Anyone saying his receivers make him are ****ing so stupid I can't even believe it.
