So who is exactly cherry picking here?

and it's not like it effects us in the least... Swing and a potential miss...doesn't that happen every time you take a QB? It will be a totally irrelevant, and possibly a good thing if one of two things happens: 1.) We take Clausen. Clausen > Sanchez 2.) Sanchez busts... If either of those two things happen, the Cassel thing was just a wasted 2nd round pick...oh well....2nd round picks are a flip of the coin anyways, at best... As for Tyson Jackson...sure, he was a reach...no doubt about that...but he can still turn into a really, really good football player...so eventually you are just going to have to get over the fact we reached for the guy...looking back on it, we should have taken Crabtree...but if that happened...you guys would have shit your very same brick...even on Maclin...even on ANYONE NOT NAMED SANCHEZ... That pick was destined for failure with you morons as soon as we traded for Cassel...who, in all honesty, in my eyes, has about the same upside as Sanchez...which shows you how much Sanchez impressed me last year. |

so...
you won't admit the fact that you were simply enamored with Bruce Campbell for ONE reason...the combine? Or are you going to pretend like you watched him play in college and thought he was all-world talent?! You were all over Campbell as the better prospect compared to Okung in those combine threads. |

If the Chiefs were to take Clausen (and I wake up every day with a different feeling on whether or not they will...today it's more of a not going to happen feeling)...
That means we automatically get an upgraded grade for the 2009 draft because Clausen is better prospect than Sanchez. |

Of course, what is ignored in your hypothetical is the very real possibility that 1) Cassel busts 2) Sanchez makes it 3) Clausen makes it And yet, we pin all of our hopes on Cassel, miss out on both of those QBs, and to top that all off, win 6-7 games b/c of our schedule next year and miss out on those QBs, too. The difference in taking a QB is that while success of those who play the position is dependent on overall probability, success of the individual is not. If that were the case, then we would have been just as well off taking Graham Harrell last year since it's all just a coinflip anyway. Typical gambler's fallacy.

well when 2) happens and we pass on 3), then we can start talking about Pioli as a failure.
Right now? Premature is an understatement. |

Notice the bold selection at the top? See how I am measuring his strengths and weaknesses? Again, I'm not picking someone with that many questions in the top 10, but as the financial risk decreases, the upside of the player becomes more worth it.

Hootie is consistently the biggest moron in this forum.
He's always claiming that OTWP, Hamas, Mecca and I are wrong, yet he's never been able to prove that with any consistency. Of course, if someone is willing to put their ass on the line year after year with mock drafts, there are going to be some misses. But Hootie acts as if EVERY mock draft and EVERY personnel criticism is a miss, which couldn't be further from the truth. |

I rarely point out any time when you are right or wrong...
I just point out how ridiculous many of your posts are when it comes to judging whether or not Pioli is capable of doing his job. |

Are you implying Pioli been very capable and has performed at an adequate level these past 12 months? |

I'm saying judging a brand new GM who wants to build his style of a franchise after 1 year is completely, 100% ridiculous.

28 hits just for the search terms "Hamas" and "Gholston" combined, FWIW.
