Honestly, I can't explain why a larger portion of the representative fan base on this site isn't adamant about the need to draft and develop our own QB.

We're not going to get where we want to go with someone else's backup.

i was all for drafting sanchez, look back if you want, but we DIDNT. end of story.

So what?

We still need to, and that's my point.

my point is that some here are still ass hurt about not getting sanchez(no matter what they say) and it's time to give it up.

Actually what people are ass hurt over is we've seen this story play out before, all Chiefs fans should know how it ends.

I agree that people need to "move on" or whatever. But it's wishful thinking to believe that there won't always be talk about the '09 draft if Cassel disappoints and Sanchez lives up to the billing.

Same way that '83 gets brought up from time to time. People aren't pissed, really, just not forgetful.

Hopefully they will at some point.

Unfortunately the real ugly reality is that the Chiefs are at the unenviable position where pretty much any position they draft is going to fit, logically speaking, because they frikkin' need players everywhere. Which is why I'm not completely upset that the new rebuild didn't start with a drafted QB. I actually think that's a move they should make later, when more pieces are in place.

Beyond that, I don't think 2009 was the right time to draft a QB, because I didn't and don't think that Sanchez was the right choice at 3. If a Matt Ryan had been sitting there as was the case at 3 in 2008 (I really, really wanted him to fall to 5...) it would have been a different story, but he wasn't. I don't think 2010 is the right year for it, either; there's just something I can't put my finger on with Clausen that makes me want to stay away. Maybe 2011 will be, depending on their record and how the draft falls.

They need to do it at some point, though, but I don't think it has to be a desperate save the franchise pick in the top 5. I'm more of a draft one in the teens or twenties and let him groom on the bench for a year or more kind of guy myself, unless he blows you away in camp, guys like Flacco or Rodgers or Roethlisberger.

That would be my blueprint, particularly with Cassel on the roster. He starts in 2010, focus on building the team around him, and then the rookie's drafted in 2011. See how it goes in camp, may the best QB win.

There are going to be some very talented QBs in next year's draft who will be in the 10-20 range, most likely, just because of numbers, so I could see that scenario being a distinct possibility.
