Let's see...what would I rather have as a potential Chiefs QB:

6'6", 235 lbs. with great overhead release and an absolute cannon for an arm...

From NFL.com:



Sac's completely objective summary:

6'6" dude with a cannon and a great release. You can't coach up arm strength. You can coach up decision making and timing.

Chiefs Planet's reeruned summary:

He was an UDFA. He must suck. I can't wait until we spend a draft pick on a QB.

or

6', 207 lbs. with a poor release on a marginal arm...

From NFL.com:



Sac's completely objective summary:

Midget game manager with average arm and athleticism with durability concerns, but his teammates think he's a swell guy. NFL Comparison: Poor Man's Chase Daniel

Chief Planet's reeruned summary:

HOLY SHIT!!! We drafted a QB!!1!11! He's going to be the starter by mid-way through the season and we'll have our very own homegrown QBOTF!!! SUPER BOWL!!!!1!11!!wtfomgpwnzr!!!lololololo!!1! NFL Comparison: Joe Montana at his very best.

You guys are so ****ing hardup for any QB the Chiefs draft to be "the man" that you are willing to discount and dismiss what we already have on our roster just because we took one guy in the draft and the others we did not.
My Bray summary:

Reincarnation of Elvis Grbac. If you're willing to suffer through several years of boneheaded play, he might develop into a serviceable starter but he's unlikely to ever be a devoted student of the game and he just might decide to bail on you rather than re-sign just about the time your investment is starting to pay off.

I don't care about drafting a QB. I'm fine with getting a QB through any means whether it's 1st round pick, late round developmental flyer, UDFA, trade, high priced free agent, etc. Tyler Bray just hasn't shown any sign, going back to his college career, that he's the field general and leader that I want behind my center. If the Chiefs coaching staff can turn him around, that's great, but I'm not optimistic. So watch where you're pointing that "you guys".
