At number 3 the Chiefs should take a QB...
However, Chiefs fans should not expect the same results as those delivered by Flacco and Ryan. I say that for mainly one reason. Both Flacco and Ryan finished their senior years at their respective schools. That level of maturity and leadership experience certainly helped them in their preparation for their rookie year in the NFL.
Both Stafford and Bradford will be underclassmen if they come out. They won't have the same level of maturity or leadership experience when they hit the NFL. I know they are both leaders, but in college being a senior in the lockerroom carries a lot weight and respect even if there is a talented QB in the lockerroom as well. Take Mizzou for example. Last season Chase Daniel was a leader on the team, but THE leaders on the team were Pig Brown and Martin Rucker. Seniors carry the big stick in college. |

Stafford has been a 3 year starter for Georgia, I believe the kid will make the transition rather smoothly.

I'm fine with Stafford, but he needs a year on the bench. One more year of sucking hard, a nice draft/FA period in '10 then Stafford goes balls-out to win in his second year. |

He's 20 years old. He could use a year to mature and grow.

What's the difference in being an underclassman versus being a rookie. A QB can lead a team, but there will be veteran players who get more respect in the locker room. That doesn't make the QB any less of a leader on the field. Either he can do it or he can't.

A year of maturation can make a gigantic difference.

In kind of a related question for the QB crowd like I am...
What if Stafford is the only QB to come out this draft? Would you consider a move up to #1 with the Lions to get him? It is a question that won't have to be answered until the 15th of this month when the underclassmen have to be decided on their choice, but it is something to maybe think about over the next few days. |

Matt Stafford is 20 years old. On a young team like the Chiefs, earning that respect would be easier than playing with a team of veterans.
