Chiefs QB of the Future???

[Shox]

Green is beginning to show his age slightly. I thought his declining arm strength really showed up at times this past year. I think he only has 1 maybe 2 year left at best. Surely the Chiefs will address the situation in the offseason. So who is next?

A. Chad Pennington: The Jets are not going to give 9 million to Penny and I doubt he will just give in and forfiet the bonus. Players and coaches seem to want out of the Jets organization pretty bad right now. Penny is damaged goods right now, so he could probably be picked up pretty cheap (assuming the Jets cut him loose). Let him sit behind Trent in 2006 and really get healthy and then take over in 2007.

B. Daunte Culpepper: Giving up a second round pick for a guy who has been as successful as Culpepper is not a bad risk. Many say Moss made Cpepper look a lot better than he really is which might be true. But I think Cpepper can still be a very good NFL QB. Again he could backup Green for 2006 and really get his knee healthy and then take over in 2007. The problem here is getting him and his contract under the CAP.

C. Drew Brees: Rumor is the Chargers might let him go. I think he would be a very good fit for the Chiefs. He knows how to use the TE and is more than willing to turn around and give the rock to a stud RB, rather than demand to be the focus of the offense. Two huge problems here; 1 CAP issues, 2 Brees is not going to want to play backup and I doubt the Chiefs will kick Green to the bench.

D. Patrick Ramsey: I like this possiblity a lot. I think he has played reasonable well in difficult situations. I think if you put players around him, a running game, and a decent offensive system he can be a very effect NFL QB. I don't think he is a FA agent, but I would imagine he could be acquired for a 2nd (maybe 3rd) round pick.

E. Other FA trade candidate: I can't think of anything else that would be very promissing.

F. Draft: The Chiefs need to use the first round pick to fill a need on D. So I can't imagine using there 1st round pick on a QB. The NFL has many later round QB who have been great, but the Chiefs don't ever seem to get any of those guys so I'm not optimistic about this propect.

Most likely:
1. Ramsey
2. Rookie 3rd rounder
3. Pennington
4. Other
5. Do nothing this year
6. Brees
7. Cpepper
