Sparked by other conversations, Bob Dole was discussing KC's QB situation with another KC fan at the bar last evening when we arrived at a point of disagreement.

Most of the people here want Elvis to renegotiate his contract and return next season. Most of us also agree that Warren isn't the backup we perhaps thought he was prior to the San Diego game. Bob Dole assumes Collins in a big ? since there's never really much discussion about him.

The point of disagreement was whether we should find a QB with a "style" similar to Elvis', or find a QB that "compliments" Elvis.

Bob Dole's position was that we should acquire a 2nd QB with a similar style of play (i.e. primarily a pocket passer as opposed to a scrambler). The primary reason for this position is that differing style would require significant adjustments to play calling, blocking schemes, etc., where a QB with similar style could be more "plug and play."

For those that missed it in the other thread, here are the available free agents.

<table border=1 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>Batch, Charlie <td>DET <td>Restricted
<tr><td>Cherry, Mike <td>NYG <td>Unrestricted
<tr><td>Detmer, Koy <td>PHI <td>Unrestricted

And here are Kiper's top 5 draftable QBs:

<table border=1 cellspacing=0><tr><td>Drew Brees<td>Purdue<tr><td>Chris Weinke<td>Florida St.<tr><td>Sage Rosenfels<td>Iowa St.<tr><td>Marques Tuiasosopo<td>Wash.<tr><td>Josh Heupel<td>Oklahoma</td></tr></table>

It would appear at this point that any of them would be available, unless San Diego grabs Brees with the first pick. (Bob Dole imagines they're a little gun shy picking a QB first, though.)

[This message has been edited by Robert_Dole (edited 12-19-2000).]

(Bob Dole's soliloquy continues...)

Bob Dole figures we're all in agreement that Tolliver is a giant "no," and Harbaugh is only 2 months younger than Bob Dole, so he's not a viable option.

Batch, Griese, Dilfer and Garcia are probably staying where they are. Frerotte, despite his play against KC, will likely be someone's starter (Bob Dole will guess San Diego). Bob Dole is going to throw out Kitna because...well...hell, he's Kitna for krissakes.

So Bob Dole's pared down list includes (in no particular order):

Cherry
Detmer
Foley
Graziani
Johnson
Justin
Lucas
Moreno
Brees
Weinke
Rosenfels
Tuiasosopo
Heupel

The list shortens...

Foley and Justin aren't even showing up on the NFL.com roster list (and Bob Dole is too lazy to look anywhere else). Detmer and Graziani s#ck. Unless there are some shakeups with cuts after the draft, there ain't much out there.

Cherry
Johnson
Lucas
Moreno
Brees
Weinke
Rosenfels
Tuiasosopo
Heupel

Bob Dole's guess at this point would be that we keep Collins at #2 and draft another QB in the second round.

Folks are saying that Weinke will go late because of his age. Frankly, I'd love to have a guy with that much maturity on my team. He's a pocket passer, has good arm strength and intelligence, and will probably be available in the the 2nd round. Sounds like a good pick to me.

I'm not sold on Huepel, and haven't seen Tuiasosopo that much to make a good call.

MM
~~Wants Weinke.

If KC is looking for a backup, I'd take Lucas or Brees. Too bad we can't bust the bank for Garcia, but being a 49er QB, I'm sure we'll get him when he becomes a free agent at age 35.

------------------
It looks I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!

The highly unreliable Yahoo FF roster lists Foley as still in Seattle and Justin now on the Rams roster.

I would cross Johnson off the list as well. Although he fits the proper criteria to operate the KC offense in Grbac's stead, he will be starting somewhere in the NFL next year.

Cherry, though on the Giants roster for 4 years, has virtually no NFL experience. Bob Dole thought he went to NFLE one year, but couldn't find any stats (though admittedly, Bob Dole did not expend much effort).

Bob Dole would assume he's shown _something_ or NY wouldn't have kept him around that long...

Of course, we let Blundin carry a clipboard for quite a few seasons.

Who in the hell is "Sage Rosenfels?" Is that some kind of alias or something? I still think that we could coax Leonard Dawson out of retirement if we try hard enough.

The King of Beers
Longing for the old days.

Here's TSN's preseason analysis of Cherry, FWIW:

[i]"Quarterbacks: Third-stringer Mike Cherry will get a long look in camp and in preseason games and must prove worthy of staying on the roster beyond 2000 -- when he will be a free agent. He has seen so little action in three seasons that it is difficult to know what to make of him."</i>

Don't really know much about Sage Rosenfels, but you can watch him play in the Insight.com Bowl on December 28th on ESPN.

I predict based on the location that we select in the 3rd or 4th round a sleeper out of Kearney-Nebraska, Justin Coleman 6'5" 220lbs. Stevensons Scouting Service has him listed as the 3rd best QB prospect in the draft...I question whether or not he is truly the 3rd best prospect in the draft but this is screaming Carl Peterson sleeper pick to me...On a side note, back in the college days JL80 rolled in the rack with the University of Nebraska-Kearney football coaches daughter...

Sage is one of those large Grbac type QB's. He seems to be pretty smart, although I haven't seen him enough to say he will do well in the big leagues.

Sage is listed at 6'4" 217 with a 4.86 in the 40.

[i]'Prototype NFL size... Very mobile, excellent at making plays outside of the pocket... Some question his arm strength, but he seems to have the ability to make nearly every throw that will be asked of him at the next level.'</i>

Coleman finished second behind a junior QB in the Harlon Hill Trophy voting.

Here's <a href="http://www.d2football.com/Harlon_Hill_Watch/justin_coleman.html">Coleman's Stats and Info</a> for anyone who wants it.

If Tuiasosopa is available when we pick in the 2nd round, it would be idiototic to pass him up!

I like Bob Dole's position, find a backup with similar style. I think shortly after Jan 1, the Chiefs will complete the hat trick, of resigning, Carl, Gunther and Elvis, and while I am ambivalent about the first, it is done, the second, I definitely am against, and the third is an absolute must. Now in answer to the question, I wouldn't mind the Chiefs signing Moreno of San Diego, playing behind a good OL, would be benieficial and remember he kept the Bolts in a lot of early season games. However, I believe Collins is signed for another year, so I think we will keep him and go for the draft at #3. I doubt if any of the big names would be available in the second round, so someone obscure like Sage and the other guy would possibly fit the Chiefs. Besides, if Carl signs EG to a 5 to 7 year contract, I don't even think he will use anything above a 4th or 5th rounder on a QB of the distant future.

Bob Dole is thinking way too much...

Jeff Garcia and Elvis...can you have two starters?

Collins will be #2 and then I'd go get #3 and potential QBOTF in the draft...

But I would have to agree with Mr. Dole, whatever we decide, our backup QB should have a similiar style EG...it would make things easier for the offense...however, on the other hand...with a different style, a runner, it would make things infinitely harder on the opposing teams defense...I'm going to do a Clinton here and say I'm undecided....

"The word "genius" isn't applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."
-Joe Theisman, NFL football quarterback and sports analyst

I watched Rosefels at Iowa State several games over the last couple of years...HE will be a decent QB...He makes good decisions and does have the abuility to scramble...you haven't heard much because ISU hasn't been worth a hoot for quite some time until this year...I think he could be a steal as a backup if he falls to 2nd rnd.

Bob Dole apologizes, Joe. Bob Dole just got to wondering what shape we'll be in if we re-sign Elvis next season, he continues the scrambling we saw last Sunday, and gets knocked out game 3.

Bob Dole does not want to see any repeats of the San Diego game...

Bob, I was impressed with Grbac's sudden desire to become a scrambler...I, however, agree with Bob that if Elvis decides to keep scrambling...the only thing that will get scrambled is his brains...you are right...we would need a capable backup...another thing that would happen if Elvis gets hurt, he probably won't win a playoff game....

I am somewhat on HC's bandwagon for Tuiasosopo...I think he fit in the fellow Washington Huskie mold of Mark Brunell. I think he will definitely be available in the 2nd round and most likely in the 3rd...I would love to take him in the 3rd...I have penned a LB/DT in the 1st round and a CB in the 2nd. So I would prefer grabbing a Tuiasosopo in the 3rd.

jl80: You think Caver (AR) will still be hanging around when we pick?

I think he should difinitely be there in the 1st round unless he turns out to be faster at the combine than everyone currently thinks...Outside shot he will be there for us in the 2nd round...Stevenson's just updated their mock draft and have him going 3 picks ahead of us in the 2nd round. They list him at 6'5" 230 with 4.7 speed. If he turns out to have 4.6 speed or better he will go top 20 considering his size.

Kiper has Caver listed as the top OLB in the draft. Bob Dole hasn't looked at any of the advance mock drafts to see if there is anyone else OLB shopping ahead of us.

Okay...went and found one mock draft and they have nobody selecting an OLB ahead of us. (They show us taking DT Marcus Stroud.)

[This message has been edited by Robert_Dole (edited 12-19-2000).]

I know Grbac is going to be here for a while.

But once... just once, I'd like to see them bring in a QB that has some real athletic ability ala Culpepper, McNabb.

You don't have to be white and slow to play QB anymore.

9ers, Jags and Rams will be in the market for OLB's...Dan Morgan, Tom Polley, Caver and Torrence Marshall of Oaklahoma looked to be the top 4 OLB's. They could go in any order in the top 40 picks but I think Dan Morgan is the best of the bunch.

Bob Dole, NFLTalk Mock Draft has Morgan going to the Bucs at #21. No other LBs taken before him, so we should have him if we want him. By the way, they have us taking Maurice Stroud, DT, Georgia. Living here in SEC country, the Vols had plenty of trouble with him and Seymour the past two years. However, I read somewhere, his work ethic is questionable, and with Glock and Williams, especially Williams, to teach him how to underachieve, I do not want him.

Bob Dole wouldn't mind seeing the athletic ability, but doesn't think a quick-to-cut-and-run QB works in our "system" without major changes, and wonder if those changes could be made week-to-week in an injury replacement situation.

Our young QB development has been horrid, as well. Maybe we should cut Moon and Collins and draft 2 younguns and just expect to suffer if they're forced to play. That would at least force us to play a young guy.

Isn't Polley still recovering from a knee injury?

Bob Dole has serious concerns about large young men with prior knee injuries being able to hold up more than a couple of years in the NFL.

I don't think any major changes would be required at all. The hardest part would be finding a prospect that can run and pass equally well.

Put the guy in and tell him to pass. If the pass isn't there then run. That's what they do with Culpepper and McNabb.

We haven't ever tried it before so we don't know if they can develop one of these guy's or not.

It's called improvisation, and that can't be taught. It's a talent received from birth. You don't have to change your blocking schemes for something like that IMO.

That being said, Cannibal, i'd take a chance on Tuiasosopa(golly I hope it's spelled right). He definitely has the running tools, and his passing nombers aren't bad, either.

I have always been partial to the QB's who have the ability to run, but until some running QB besides Steve Young shows that they can lead a team to a Super Bowl ring then I am in no real hurry to sell out a strong pocket passer for a runner...90% of playing QB is accuracy and mental strength...Being mobile is a nice bonus but it is irrelevant if you don't possess those first two qualities.

That's who'd I take as well.

He's got heart and athletic ability.


The Chiefs need to try something new. Take a chance, maybe it'll pay off.

jl80,
I think you'll see it this year, when Tennessee and Minnesota play in the Super Bowl.

John Elway was of that same mold.

He passed first, but he could scramble with the best of 'em.

While scrambling ability is nice, some (Kordell Stewart leaps to mind) give up on the pocket too quickly, IBDHO.

Young only scrambled when every available option was fully eliminated.

And Bob Dole still is not convinced that QBs with different styles do not impact the linemen. Bob Dole has read statements from linemen that they are affected by different running backs, and thinks that the relationship with the QB is no different.

Elvis is traditionally slow to scramble and typically hangs in the pocket. The tackles know that, and use a defenders momentum to push them back beyond the pocket. If the QB is a scrambler, you don't know whether that will work or not, because you might push the defender directly in to the QB because he's not where you expect him to be.

I disagree, if the QB is athletic enough, it doens't matter where the lineman are. A good example would be the scrambles that Shaun King had last night. Especially the lateral from Dunn.

Bob Dole is not disagreeing that a scrambling QB can be effective. Bob Dole is stating that it would be more difficult for our offense to adapt to that QB mid-game if Elvis was injured.

The Culpepper's, McNabb's, and Brook's are the new breed of QB.

All of them can throw with very good accuracy, but can also run like a RB.

I'd like to see the Chiefs get on that bandwagon.

I'm with jl on our #1 pick: Dan Morgan all the way!!! Shore up the LB corps, take Tuiasosopo in the 2nd, DT Mario Fatafehi(highly underrated!!!) in the 3rd

If that's the case, then we're talking apples and oranges, Cannibal.

The original premise was that we re-sign Elvis and are looking for a #2--not that we're retooling the team and changing the style of play.

Do you think it's accidental that Gannon is playing like he is this season, or do you think it's offensive design that has contributed?

Cannibal. You're standards are too high. That play off the lateral maybe happens once or twice a year. MAYBE. 9 out of 10 times those fluke plays end up with a huge loss.

I'm just hoping that EG continues to scramble like he did Sunday.

Culpepper and McNabb are exceptional QBs...made more dangerous by their running ability...

King is mediocre at best...Stewart is less then mediocre...

Gannon, he's a Raider so he sucks no matter how good he is, but as a passer he's mediocre too...Batch, mediocre...

The best pure QB in the league...Warner, a classic pocket passer...

The running QBs are great as long as you can keep them healthy or if you can replace them every 4 years...

Prediction...by time Culpepper and McNabb have played 4 full seasons...they will be so banged up, that they will be inaffective as runners and passers...

Stevieray,

I'm not saying replace Grbac.

I'm saying that I'd like to see the Chiefs think outside the box once in a while.

They do the same thing year in and year out. Why not try something different? You never know what might happen because of it.

Picking Tuiassosopo (sp) in the second round certainly couldn't be any worse than picking Mike Cloud or Rashawn Shehee in the second round. <P>

I'm surprised no one has mentioned M. Bishop. He's in NE right now, but doesn't seem to be happy there. Perhaps a trade?

MM
~~Not a K-State fan . . . just throwing out ideas.

Mark,

I totally agree.

But everyone here seems to think he's too stupid.

[This message has been edited by Cannibal (edited 12-19-2000).]

I tend to agree with Cannibal here. It's obvious that the latest weapon on offense is the scrambling QB.

I would say that this particular aspect of the game has become quite prevalent over the last year. This last weekend alone, I couldnt believe all of the QB running that was going on. Hell, even Scott Mitchell got into the act converting a key first down.

The Chiefs do need a #2 QB, someone that can replace EG in a few years. I think it should be one that can play the position and its 'new' requirements.

Cannibal--
Well, he did go to K-State . . . . :D

Seriously though. I'm not sure if he has that "big game" mentality we need. He choked when it came time to perform.

I think we do need a more mobile QB. It adds another weapon. However, mobile QBs take more of a pounding than pocket passers (unless you're named Aikman), so durability is an issue (as has been pointed out).

What worries me is the Chiefs inability to develop QB talent. We could've ruined Marino, IMO.

MM
~~Wants to see a new QB coach to go with a young QB.

But everyone here seems to think he's too stupid. - That would probably be because he is! Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer...

Like I said before (and shall keep repeating as a mantra throughout our entire offseason): Tuiasosopo in the 2nd!!! (Dan Morgan in 1st, Mario Fatafehi in the 3rd)

Speaking of Bishop and NE...

There seems to be quite a debate as to whether or not NE plays to retain Bledsoe. If they dont, do you think NE lets Bishop go?

I have to doubt it, but then we are talking about Belichik. The only HC other than Ray Rhodes, Bruce Coslet, Rich Kotite to be worse than Gunther.

I disagree about the durability issue.

Steve Young never sustained a major injury that I'm aware of. Neither did Elway or Cunningham or Tarkenton. At least, no worse than any other QB who's ever played the game.

58 Forever,

I do agree that Warner is the best QB in the game. But he does have the most talent around him. If you put him on the Eagles, he doesn't even come close to what McNabb accomplished.

Dan Marino is the most immobile QB in history, yet he missed a year and a half due a torn achilles tendon. Same with Testeverde.

Aikman is extremely immobile and he can't stay on the field because of a bad back and concussions.

Titus,

If NE has half a brain, they'll keep Bishop. He will be a playa in the NFL.

But I have my doubts that he'll continue to play there by his choice. He wants a trade to a team that will let him play.

Cannibal--
Although Steve Young was knocked out of the league due to concussions (sp?), it was not because he was scrambling. He was in the pocket. So I think you're right.

It just makes me nervous to see QBs flying all over the field . . . the position is difficult to learn, and (as we all Chiefs fans know) it is very difficult to find one that fits well with a team. Gannon fits great in Oakland, would've done so-so here.

I'd like to see a pocket passer with some good speed when necessary. Otherwise, draft an option QB and lets see what happens. :D

MM
~~Realizes there are no easy (or necessarily correct) answers to this question.

Jeff, I agree. That was by far the most wellrouded offensive performance the Chiefs have had in awhile. While a mobile QB can lead to big plays, the propencity for injury greatly increases. Culpepper is in a cast. Gannon is wobbling around.

I would like to see EG contiue to scramble if everything breaks down, unlike last year when he just wussed out a lot. Didn't you freak when Elvis went for 19 yards? I thinkt he Donx were in shock...Grbac running? HUH?

We've kind of wandered from the original point, it seems.

We seem to agree that we need a #2 and #3 quarterback, and Moon and Collins are not proper choices.

We seem to disagree on the style of play to look for, however. Bob Dole can accept that, but the question still remains, of the available options, who do we go after?<BR>

Mark,

You're correct he did have to exit the league due to concussions. But he did have a 13 year career in professional football. That's a pretty good stretch. <P>

Vinnie, Dan and Troy missed a year out of how many extremely productive years? Bob Dole doesn't see those as very convincing examples.

Stevieray,

Gannon, Culpepper and McNabb have not missed a game this season.

Grbac and Warner are immobile and have both missed games this season.

I don't think injury is an issue.

All you have to do is slide.

All I'm saying is that both immobile and mobile QB's both get injured about the same amount. It doesn't matter that one can run and one can't. <P>

The Chiefs havent done much with Elvis and I think he will command around a $7-8 million dollar bonus, I say let him go. Chiefs will have to ride out the cap mistakes of Bush, Chester, Williams and Gray before they can commit more bad money. Elvis is a good QB, but not a playmaking guy a team can ride to the Super Bowl. I say lets not make another mistake and have him on the chiefs books long after he is gone. IMO, the Chiefs are closer to the bottom than they are to the top. Its time to find a QB in the draft who can run, pass, play hurt, and play smart. And oh yea, doesnt weight heavily on the cap. Then find a coach that can develop him.
I have seen to many telegraphed passes and screwed up clock management to support Grbac. Plus, his teams are barely .500 the last couple years. He has reached his peak, IMO.

Those injuries were sustained by hitting helmets. More fluke than having the ability to scramble. Will these injuries hamper Gannon's and DC's play in the playoffs ? We'll see.


Sorry, Jeff, I'm too slow. Didn't see your last post.

[This message has been edited by stevieray (edited 12-19-2000).]

Dole,

I agree with HC Chief, I'd take Tuiasosopo in the 2nd or 3rd round. Then I'd sign an udrafted free agent for the emergency QB.

Packfan,

We know the Chiefs will keep Grbac.

So who do you think they should pick for the backup spot?

Michael Biship was demoted to 4th string QB behind Bledsoe, Tom Brady and Friez...From what I have heard, Bishop couldn't read a defense even if it was written by Dr.Suess. He will be released soon.

Cannibal is right. It doesnt matter if your a pocket passer or scrambler. Injuries happen to both. Randall Cunningham and Doug Flutie have played long time and both are guys who have made plays with their feet. Grbac's have come behind the line of scrimmage, not making plays on the run.

It helps to be tough and play through injuries too.

Bob Dole seems to remember Elvis getting hit on the sideline stripe and injured in an Oakland game...

jl80,

He was demoted to 4th string over a month ago. And wasn't because of his lack of ability to read a defense, it was because he is being very boisterous about getting to play. He's talking in the media and to other teammates about sitting on the bench and the coach hates it.

BTW,

That 4th string demotion only lasted 1 week. He was moved back to # 2 the week the Chiefs played the Pats.

Cannibal,

I dont know who they should take, but I think they should find one in the draft. I never heard of Matt Hasselbeck or Aaron Brooks before the packers drafted them so i cant speak for college seniors. Many college guys put up big numbers during their season. The true measurement comes at the combine. I will tell you this, the guy that you like from Washington does not impress me. I have seen a few of his games.

I'll tell you what I want the Chiefs to do about the situation.

# 1) Grbac
# 2) Tuiasosopo
# 3) Project guy [althete].

What I think will actually happen.

# 1) Grbac
# 2) Collins
# 3) Project guy [pure pocket passer].

Cannibal,

Why do you think he fell to the 7th round in a draft that had 5 QB's taken in the 1st round despite the fact that he had the strongest arm of the bunch? And don't give me the black excuse because we all know the demographics of those 5 1st rounders...

So we can agree that QBs, whether "pocket" or "scramble" get injured. Great.

Bob Dole still feels that the offensive play design, play calling and general philosophy differs based on the skills and abilities of the QB, and thus, the #2 QB should have a similar set of skills and abilities as the starter.

As pointed out, Gannon (scrambler) would be only so-so with our offensive philosophy (and was, as far as Bob Dole can remember). Elvis has had his best season yet with our current offensive philosophy. Elvis would s#ck under Oakland's current system, and Gannon is a candidate for league MVP.

Therefore, Bob Dole still does not feel that it would be productive to have to change your entire game plan, mid-game or mid-season, because your starter got injured and your #2 had a completely different manner of play. Use the #3 position to start catching the "wave of the QB future." Bob Dole would hate to see us start next season strong, then completely tank because our #2 did not fit the system.<BR>

I wasn't going to give you "the black excuse"! Are you kidding!

There are black starters all over the league! And that's a good thing.

I hate comments like that!

As far as why he was a 7th rounder:

I don't know. It may very well be, because he lacks metal capacity. But I also know that he is one of the most competitive players I've ever seen. He's excellent althete with one of the strongest arms in the NFL. He can score from anywhere on the field with his arms or his legs. If want to use him, you simplify the offense enough that he can handle it.

He would be a good fit on a team that has an excellent running game that doesn't always have to rely on the QB to make decisions. I think he'd be perfect for the Vikes. Just like Culpepper.

[This message has been edited by Cannibal (edited 12-19-2000).]

Jeez Bob, can't you keep your own topic on course?! *L*

Personally I'd go for a drop back passer. The line is used to blocking for that style with EG. Put in a scrambler and the whole blocking assignments would change. Also changing would be the hot reads of the WR/TE's. If EG is out for a length and the #2 QB can scramble at all plays could be designed then. For an interm though you want plug and play.

Now as for who? I don't know who will and who won't be FA's this offseason so I can't name names. What I would do however is scout the AFL and CFL. Both of those leagues place a premium on passing. Particularly quick hitting passing.

If EG's down that probably means we've had a breakdown in our Oline. A QB that has mastered the quick pass would be a benefit. Again if he can scramble so much the better but I view it as gravy.

I like Cannibals assessment...but I think we'll go with:

Grbac,
Collins,
Project, Athlete...

but I disagree with your point about Warner...granted, McNabb has done wonders with the talent he has, but my guess is that Warner makes people around him more talented...<P>

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Helvetica, verdana, ariel">quote:</font><HR>As pointed out, Gannon (scrambler) would be only so-so with our offensive philosophy<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

That reason Gannon would be so-so in our offense is not because he's a scrambler, it's because his arm is exceptionally weak.

If you had a strong armed, yet mobile QB [McNabb] they would excell in our offense.
