Chiefs Rams Don't Want to Follow KC Football Model

Too many of you are focused on your hurt feelings from a perceived slight, while ignoring the point that was being made.

The Rams made a conscious decision this year to build the team around what they feel is a franchise QB. To the degree that they are sacrificing other players (picks) to lay that foundation. That's simply a very different approach than the Chiefs have taken. It's not an insult, it's fact.

As for the chance of success versus falling on their face... there's not much evidence that failing has any negative effects that go beyond what the Chiefs have experienced doing it the safe way. KC has had a pretty stellar run on 1st round picks going all the way back to Tamba Hali. And what did all those picks result in? Varying degrees of success and failure, including the worst season in franchise history. Even the success the team has had in the last 3 years has to be partially credited to finally getting a qb.

The Rams just came out and said they believe draft picks and/or good players aren't worth much without a franchise qb. KC is a perfect example of that reality.
