Who do you think will be our Day One starter at QB next season?
 

Poll to follow unless I intentionally throw it into the ground to avoid a turnover.

Cassel........(runs for cover)

Cassel.

I'm going to go full wickedson and say Geno Smith.


**** we have gotta have hope for something
Posted via Mobile Device

I think Matt Hasselbeck could be our guy, as a dark horse move. We draft a quarterback in the first round, release Cassel for p.r. reasons, and sign Hasselbeck to a 1 or 2 year contract to mentor the Arrowhead messiah.

Cassel

Tebow, huh?

You know, I hate to say this but it wouldn't even surprise me. That's sad, huh?

That was my thought - Hasselbeck or Moore.

Alternatively, Tony Romo's a darkhorse candidate if Dallas can't get him re-signed. Clark has a shitload of money he'll have to spend and throwing some scratch at someone like Romo that could pull us off his stench may be just the trick.

Whatever happens, I'm sure it will piss me off when all is said and done. Pioli is incapable of doing the right thing, even when he does the right thing.

Cassel

Todd Blackledge.

Print 'em.

I chose an older veteran backup for another NFL team, not otherwise named. It has been the Chiefs way for longer than I can remember.

No Brett Favre comes out of retirement again option?

This guy.

Jeff George. /Big Sexy

LMAO

If it's a draft choice, we have to hope that Pioli isn't the GM. Are we forgetting? "No one knows Cassel better than Pioli."

This is our GM; this is empirical evidence of his knowledge and skill set.

This is the Chiefs. We go for the other team's backups.

This is the time we've been waiting for. It will be a first round rookie. Let's just hope they pan out better than Sanchez, Gabbert, etc.

Shaun Hill.

Why the hell is Charlie Batch on the list? LMAO

Some chump veteran like Hasselbeck, while our 5th round QB competes with Stanzi in a clipboard hot potato contest

Shaun King.

If it's not Geno Smith, I will smear poop on Rain Man's office window.

(I suggest you call up Pioli now and "make a deal" if you don't want to look at feces when you're at the office, Kevin)

Oh, and Rausch is going to be livid when he sees teh 0dd t0dd isn't an option.

This.

We'll trade for the b/u from whatever team wins the SB...

What's sad is I'm pretty sure a grey bearded T0DD could have taken over after Green, played here until he retired, and we'd probably have been better off...

:facepalm:

History. History is why Charlie Batch is on the list.

As some background, there have been 66 first-round quarterbacks drafted since the year we picked up Blackledge. This counts a few first-rounders in the supplemental draft, but excludes the special draft of USFL players when that league shut down.

Here's the list of them by team. The only two teams that have not drafted a quarterback in the first round during this period (1984-2012) are Kansas City and New Orleans. (In fairness, we've traded first-round picks for both Montana and Green in the past.)

4 teams have drafted four first-round quarterbacks.
7 teams have drafted three first-round quarterbacks.
11 teams have drafted two first-round quarterbacks.
8 teams have drafted one first-round quarterback.
2 teams have not drafted a first-round quarterback.

Bills - Losman
Dolphins - Tannehill
Patriots – Bledsoe
Jets – Sanchez, Pennington
Ravens - Flacco, Boller
Bengals – Palmer, Ak Smith, Klingler
Browns - Weeden, Quinn, Couch, Kosar (suppl. Pick)
Steelers - Roethlisberger
Texans - Carr
Colts – Luck, P. Manning, George
Jaguars - Gabbert, Leftwich
Titans - Locker, V. Young, McNair, J. Everett
Broncos - Tebow, Cutler, Maddox
Raiders – Russell, Marinovich
Chargers - E. Manning, Leaf

Cowboys – Walsh (suppl. Pick), Aikman
Giants - P. Rivers, D. Brown (suppl. Pick)
Eagles – McNabb
Redskins - Griffin, J. Campbell, P. Ramsey, Shuler
Bears – Grossman, McNown, Harbaugh
Lions - Stafford, Harrington, A. Ware, C. Long
Packers - Rodgers
Vikings – Ponder, Culpepper
Falcons – Ryan, Vick, C. Miller
Panthers – Newton, K. Collins
Buccaneers – Freeman, Dilfer, Testaverde
Cardinals – Leinert, Rosenbach (suppl. Pick), Stouffer
Rams - Bradford
49ers - A. Smith, Druckenmiller
Seahawks – Mirer, D. McGwire

Haha who are the ppl who picked 1st rd rookie? Like that is ever gonna happen

If Pioli is still here it will be Cassel or some other never was. You guys that actually think the Chiefs will start a rookie are fooling yourselves.

Yall will not be starting a rookie at QB when Cassel's last 2 years are gonna be so cheap

That's also a reason that just cutting him isn't too hard if they need to

It sure is.....

We would have to look hard to find another QB who made it all the way through college without playing a single snap. We don't want somebody all used up in college.

Len Dawson?

Cassel. Pioli cant quit him.

40 people really think a 1st round rookie will start for this franchise? Can I have some of what you are smoking/snorting/injecting?

It will be the current back up to Tom Brady

Ryan Mallet

He has no NFL expereince. He's our guy!

No shit.

Had a hard time voting as the poll was thrown with absolutely zero accuracy.

Come on guys. Pioli isn't stupid. He's a good GM.

He knows Cassel isn't the answer.

He'll do the right thing. He'll use a player from the tree. Probably Damon Huard.

Just remember Chief fans... Luck and RG3 are one in a millions and the odds are in favor of you getting a Jamarcus

No.

Can you find purple draaaaaaaaaank in KC?

Probably find anything you want anywhere

anything other than a 1st round rookie is completely unacceptable and that rookie needs to be Geno!

Giver it up dude.... Cleveland is 0-5 and 8 other teams are 1-3 or 1-4

If its Pioli, some washed up vet

Poll fail: No Alex Tanney.

How dare you accuse me of poll fail. Look again, my friend. Look again.

Wow, I fail. I fail HARD.

My gut tells me, regardless of who is GM, that Matt Barkley will be the opening day starter (the Chiefs winning too many games to draft Geno Smith).

If Cassel is the starter of this team next year.

That will be the last straw...the final nail in the coffin, I will no longer be a Chiefs fan.

I will continue to post here...but it will be nothing but Chiefs bashing threads/posts.

That described 80% of the posters here already.

Of those 66 first round QB picks, I only count 5 that took the team that drafted them to a SB win (6 if you count Eli Manning since the Giants essentially got him with a draft day maneuver and a little help from Archie. 4 if you don't count Trent Dilfer). Did I miss any? That's depressing.

That is indeed depressing, because we're all assuming it's the answer. Apparently the correct answer is that you don't need a 1st-round quarterback, but rather you need a great quarterback. Of course, the only way to get one of those is in the first round or in some sort of 6th-round lightning bolt from Mount Olympus.

We still have 18 guys who are still playing for the team that drafted them, and most of them are young. So maybe the number will go up. And I count three more who went to a Super Bowl with their original team and lost (McNabb, McNair, and Grossman), excluding PManning. And a few others who made it to the championship game - Flacco(?), Kosar, Culpepper, and Alex Smith. So it seems like the performance curve overall is decent, with roughly one in five making it to a conference championship with their team. However, one in five odds isn't exactly our expectation.

Keep in mind it's also these drafted QB's that have gone to multiple SB's.

Brady, Ruthlessrapist, Manning, etc. That's like 8 SB's right there...

Oops, I shouldn't have counted Trent Dilfer to begin with. That makes it 4 (or 5 if you count Eli).

I am afraid that Cassel will be the starter next year if Pioli is still the GM. I am through if that is the case. I have been attending Chiefs games since the 1960s. Family has had season tickets for over 40 years. No more if Cassel remains the QB. No more. I can't take it anymore.

Drop the ban hammer. Thou shalt not question the Rain Man poll.

No Gaz?...
