Things Chiefs Need to Change for Success

[Sorter]

Here are some of mine, add what you see fit. I think most of us are in agreement on the first 3. The 4th is interesting to me because there are some who want us to switch back to the 4-3.


1. New QB. Geno Smith, Tyler Wilson, or Matt Barkley.
2. New Head Coach: Rod Chudzinski, Mike Zimmer, Vic Fangio would all be good candidates.
3. New GM: Eric DeCosta
4. Switch from the 2-gap to the 1-gap. Put Poe at RDE, move Dorsey to LDE or draft a replacement if he walks and start Powe at NT. To me, the 1-gap gives us the best chance to maximize our talent and start getting pressure from our base 3-4 front. We NEVER get pressure from our base alignment, a 3-4 odd front due to our line playing the 2-gap. I want penetrating D-Lineman who are athletic, quick, and nasty.
5. A new inside LB that can cover. I love what Belcher does for this team in run-support but he gets victimized in coverage too many times.

Alright then! Let's do this thing.

Any thoughts on Bray/Wilson/Logan Thomas?

Embarrasment of riches? Who else besides Luck and RG3?

Accuracy is a strength. The only question with Smith will be if he's off the board when the Chiefs pick. Dude looks legit.

Bray is very interesting. Body type looks a little frail, but he's a great prospect. No thanks on Thomas.

I agree on Thomas and will add that Bray is not even close to worthy of being a first round pick. When was the last time anyone said to themselves, "man the Tennessee offense is scary!" It doesn't happen. I will say again, last season he had a 49.3% completion rate in the conference and on the season was only 59.5%.

Can he get better, sure. But in three games so far this season he is par for the course. Really good against a scrub Georgia St., mediocre against another BCS school NC State, and horrible against Florida.

Wilson. He is a game changer. The fact that people overlooked his so ****ing obvious playmaking ability, purely because he is 5'10 is infuriating.

Cousins and Foles appear to be excellent young players that have the potential to develop into legit starters.

Some argued Tannehill is like that too, which might have been true, but I hate how he's being developed in Miami.

And then there's Weeden... who knows about him.

But I think that having TWO prospects that are as close to locks as Luck and RG3 are in the same draft, combined with Peyton Manning as a free agent, it's embarrassing that the Chiefs made no move other than Brady Quinn and Alex Tanney.

It's too bad they're too cheap for laminate or hardwood.

I can't imagine it is too much fun cleaning shit from carpet.

We shall see on Wilson. If the Chiefs have taught us anything so far is that you can't tell if a QB is good because he played us. He won the job playing scrubs and cemented the job playing us.

And what exactly do you base your analysis of Cousinns and Foles on?

Tannehill sucks. Weeden will probably spend a few years starting in Cleveland only to become a backup. Luck and RG3 are the only ones I see as franchise changers so far.

My faith in Wilson will not be shaken.

Oh, dude, purely on preseason

Tannehill should have sat behind Moore. So stupid to throw him out there. I agree with Weeden. Why the HELL they didn't draft Blackmon to go with Weeden is beyond me. You have a limited amount of time to develop Weeden. Ya think it might help if you had the WR with whom he just spent three years developing chemistry on your team?

Luck, RG3, Wilson, and Foles. I'm saying that all are starters in 2014. Maybe Cousins, too, after Shannahan trades him.
