Chiefs Pioli will want to win NOW - Page 3

He's going to have to use FA to do it. Philosophies anyone?

Mine: Bart Scott MLB free agent Ravens
Channing Crowder? Got to have a stud in the middle, our second biggest need.

Draft: move down round one, get xtra pick (only move as far as 8) and still get quality DE pass rusher.

Second round: DE or quality OL- whichever is best at his position.

We can no longer simply pick the best athlete left on the board, we must draft for need.

This obviously means I trust Thigpen vs a veteran QB competition.

Someone does there research.

QB is the most important position on a team and we don't have one so that takes priority over everything else.

Defensive rankings were awful and broke records not meant to be proud of, how did Thigpen rank------you said they were even--no, look at rankings,

You think Pioli might bring in a 3-4 defense?

What would that do with Dorsey?

"The most important position on the team is quarterback, and it's probably time to find a replacement for Bobby Layne," said Schwartz, referring to Detroit's Hall of Fame quarterback from the 1950s. "Quarterback is the trump card of all positions in the NFL. If you've got a great quarterback, you can cover up a lot of other areas on your team. If you don't have a great quarterback, you've got to be really good in a lot of other areas."

I know how Thigpen ranked, he throws a fluttery deep ball and completes 54% in a gimmick offense that is suppose to make completing passes easy..

You don't pass on a QB because of Tyler ****in Thigpen and if you do you're brain fell out.

He was 27th in QB rating. The guys behind him were Gus Frerotte, Dan Orlovsky, Marc Bulger, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Derek Anderson.

Impressive.

Exactly. Bulger and Anderson have been Pro-Bowlers. What else does Thigpen need to prove?

This. i'd have to say pioli all ready has a plan in mind about the QB spot, and I don't think it has Thigpen in any more then a backup role. From what I've read about the guy he does a lot of his own scouting so I'd think he knows who he wants to target in the draft or pilfer from someone else's roster. Lets all remember Farve wasn't drafted by the packers he was traded for by a coach who had his eye on him by doing his homework.
