Remember how this board flipped on Matt Stafford once we had no chance to draft him.

Wrong WRONG.

No matter what was said pre draft, Flacco would have INSTANTLY become a TFs favorite player, and, of course, deep down they will have liked him all along.

TELL ME I AM WRONG

beach tribe, tell me I'M wrong about this:

If Alex Smith plays like he did in 2010-2011 and the Chiefs are one-and-done in the playoffs, and Andy Reid drafts a QB in the first round next spring, true fans will hate the pick

,but this regime didnt have a chance to draft Flacco either so its not like you didnt have a point.
You were right. It was a HUGE mistake. One that no one employed by the Chiefs made.

Should I post the list of guys we chose over those guys, or are you sick enough of facts yet?

Drafting the QB (even if he's a "reach", as half of those guys would have been) is ALWAYS the right decision.

No to Ryan or Flacco. We already had Croyle.

No to Sanchez and Freeman. "Those guys suck!" (arbitrarily)

The 2010 QBs actually sucked dick, and are 1000 times worse than the 2013 class, so no problems there

Andy Dalton and Colin Kaepernick were fine, but only if we spent minimal draft stock on them. A 1st round or high 2nd would have been out of the question. Meanwhile Cam Newton was a guaranteed bust according to just about everybody here

It's always the same thing. Unless we're piddling away with 3-7 round picks on QBs where the loss is minimal, people don't want the risk. If the risk ever did take place, I think their brains would explode

I don't understand though, how does this effect who the front office actually drafts?

It doesn't, but that doesn't mean it's irrelevant. Chiefs fans have developed a worldview that rationalizes the choices of their front office, and the team's FO and ownership has been risk and QB-averse since before Iran Contra.

I'd love nothing more than to see Andy Reid spend a high draft pick on a QB just to watch the fan reaction.

These idiots would hate it. Instead of celebrating a momentous occasion in Chiefs history, I guarangoddamntee cries of, "We lost in the playoffs because Alex Smith didn't have enough protection! Get him a better offensive line for crying out loud! Draft a receiver who doesn't drop the ball like that chump Dwayne Bowe! You suck Reid!"

It was the exact same shit when Carl and Vermeil were praised for taking Derrick Johnson over Aaron Rodgers. And really, the same should be pointed out when we picked Ryan Sims over Joey Harrington.
