I'm not sold on Alex, but we will see. He might get it done.  |
You are correct re: QB's playing in the SB ... but, I think the percentage is very small if you take into considerations all the retreads on teams that do not get close to a SB. For Alex see below ...

I have a small glimmer of hope for Alex ... his skill set just may fit into Andy's offense nicely and he could become Elite. But, as a Chiefs fan from their days in Texas ... I'm kinda jaded and this feels like the same ole same ole.

Hard to do but gotta admit you were correct, sir. It's not like if I'd pulled for them they would have won any more games. The point ... I was pulling for hope of advancement and drafting a LT when we already have a good one doesn't bring advancement. But, see below for more on the losing ...

Didn't think of this ... yes, pulling for them to lose at least got rid of a whole lot of problems or to put it another way ... it brought about positive change. I think Dorsey is the real deal and he has a chance to get the job done. Reid was the best rated coach out there. I'd love to have had a talented young coordinator as coach ... i.e. like the ones at Green Bay, S.F. (they've had at least a couple), Balti, New Orleans, Pitts, etc. ... but, not many assistant coaches succeed the first time out.
But, yeah, it probably took losing all those game for Clark to clean house.
