Living in Knoxville, I have been watching the Titans and Chicago. Matthew came in midway thru the 3rd quarter, Tennessee leading 31-7. Three straight TD's, and a 2 pt conversion. Also, Tennessee 4th QB, Volek, played two series, one pass to his TE, about 40 yards, the rest just handoffs. This guy would be much better than Ted White.

Darius Jackson from Denver will probably be waived, with Bronco hopes of him clearing waivers. The Chiefs should grab this kid. A real sweet arm and foot speed.

Wow. Sounds like in a quarter-and-a-half my boy Shane outplayed ALL of our current QBs in all four preseason games combined. Wouldn't you love this guy in KC?
The problems with such a performance are (1) the Bears will be a lot less likely to part with him now; (2) if they do, a lot more teams will be interested; and (3) his pricetag probably just rose to the point we couldn't get him, anyway. In other words, we're probably screwed. But I must say that a little personal validation is a good thing. |

Clint what makes me sick is the Chiefs could of gotten Bishop for god sakes in the latter rounds!!They passed because they didn't think he had the smarts....Pats love him and I would love to have him on our team....We clearly have no back up...Bishop would of been a steal in the latter rounds.

flowergirl - Was that actually reported, that the Chiefs passed up on him because they had doubts about his smarts? I would think they passed on him because he's short. You know Gunther loves small players. [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

I worry more about our starting QB than our backups. If ANY starting QB goes down, his team is usually affected negetively. The starting QB is much more important to the team, and Grbac hasn't shown me anything this preseason to make me any more comfortable.

It WILL NOT matter who the QB is in Raye's JOKE of a system. Is it by chance that ALL our QB's $UCK? I don't think so. The PROBLEM is in the BOOTH people and it has been for 3 years. I think that Gun FINALLY knows this now. He pointed the finger at the offense at the half. Even the old reliable "smashmouth" WON'T help this year becaus we have NO "D" to save the offense. We're looking at 4-12 and id DIDN'T have to be this way. Tom Rossley is GONE to Green bay and Al Saunders is GONE to the Rams. BOTH are would be BETTER Offensive Coordinators than Jimmy-dis-a Raye! Don't even get me started on old Kurt! One word sums things up - PATHETIC!

Yeah, it's risky, but wouldn't our 1st pick be used on a guy that hasn't proven anything, anyway? ------------------ This is my signature!! There are many like it but this one is mine!! |

If your pop a cap in that enormous bonus, then I can live with Grbac as my QB for a few seasons while we mine and polish our diamond in the rough QB. I still do not believe he is the long-term answer for the Chiefs, although he is probably the best QB in the AFC West at this time [preseason impressions to the contrary].
Grbac is a temporary solution to a long-term problem, IMO. We have not had a franchise QB for a long, long time. I applaud the attempt to find a QBOTF in White, but that experiment is terminated. We need to find our QBOTF. Renegotiate that ludicrous bonus out of existence and rely on Grbac until the quest bears fruit. Either the bonus goes, or Grbac goes. xoxo~ gaz willing to stick with Grbac provided the bonus is gone.<BR> |

I agree with Bill Mass's assessment on Grbac last night. For those of you that missed it, the bottom line is Mass thinks we not only have an issue at backup QB, but at starter also.
I would go after Shane Mathewes. If we start out 0-3, (I watched some of the Cards- Chargers game. Leaf is going to be the best QB in the west this year) I hand the riegns over to Mathewes to grow with the rest of the youth on the team. |

According the San Fran Examiner the 49ers will carry 4 QB's. So it doesn't look like we could lean toward Carmazzi or Rattay for a third QB.
