You can find the clip on youtube of his comments during the draft broadcast about how risky a pick Cam Newton was.
He's still in the old mindset that drafting a QB who's a bust will cripple a franchse for a decade.
He's also probably not wrong about the Chiefs not taking one. We all want one, but history says they won't do it.
