Yeah, at first I didn't want the tanking just for a player, but everyone knew we have been a good QB play away from being able to compete in the division, let alone win a playoff game and really need a top QB to get us there. Imagine if Pioli would have had the balls to tank it last season? Had the foresight to know the top QB since whenever would be coming out of college and stocking up draft picks for a true building season draft. Especially since we were set up with losing a coach mid season.
Indy fans found out how important a top QB is when Manning went down. They went through 1 lousy season and now they have a top QB again. Boo hoo.
If we are going to lose again anyway we might as well go all in. Everyone knows this team doesn't have the one thing every playoff looking team has and needs.
A QB away. I say it is Geno Smith. Still pretty early, but to me he looks the best out of everyone. Often compared to RG3 which seems to be a very good thing so far.
I also say we need a new coach. Maybe Romeo can go back to defense? It is important to get a coach that is going to get the most out of the most important position-QB. The new Chiefs Way should look a lot like how the 49ers did it.
A former 1st overall pick, Alex Smith, looked too much like Cassel under defensive coaches Nolan and Singletary, and clashed with both coaches. It wasn't until they brought in the perfect QB fix-Jim Harbaugh, that they have brought out the most in their QB. We don't want to take 6 years to see such results. Harbaugh is even in the huddle making sure that offense is run right.
Another thing to note with Harbaugh, the former QB with family coaching genes also has the team with argueably the best defense in football. He lets his defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, whom he brought from Stanford, coach the defense and it works very well. Point is we don't have to get a defensive guy to have a top defense.
Hope this team does what it hasn't since 1983, and does it right this time.
