As to what bet I'd be willing to make - really? You're saying that in a 'Chiefs vs. the field' bet that you'd take the field? Well man, that's going out on a limb right there.
I've said this before, I'll say it again - the odds overwhelmingly suggest that the Chiefs won't win a SB this year. There are 32 teams and only 1 of them win the damn thing. But again, I'd take the field over every single team in football and there are only 3 teams in the AFC who's odds should be appreciably better than KCs. Even that's arguable - for instance, if our D is as good as it can be, then our D is as good as Pitt's O - is our O better than Pitt's D? I think it is. We have no idea what Manning will be.
To blast Boss for saying the Chiefs are building a potential SB team while saying 'eh, the Chiefs can't win shit with Alex Smith' is just the highest of hypocrisy. It's dogmatic, worthless garbage that does a hell of a lot more to turn posters off than acknowledging that Dorsey's done some damn good things with this team over the last 2+ seasons and there's reason to suggest he can continue doing so.

I don't think it is absurd. I think he is mostly correct. I think the days of a Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson being a bystander QB while the D does it all are long gone. As a QB you have to make big plays. Now we have seen AS do it but he hasn't done it on a consistent basis like the best QB's in the NFL do. All you have to do is look at last year and him not throwing 1 TD to a WR. I don't think that had ever happened in NFL history. He is just to risk averse IMHO.
