Palko told he is starting in Chicago.

Todd Haley = massive buffoon.

I hope we can all move on from supporting this clown now.

Assuming they pull the trigger and take a QB in round 1 or 2 and Luck, RG3, and Barckly are gone. Who is worth a 2nd round pick?

****ing tannehill or foles or some shit.. idk. that would suck.

that's why i'm stoked that haley and pioli have decided to get a head start on positioning us to pick Barkley or RG3

Imagine what this place would be like if the Chiefs drafted RGIII. Then, they put him in the commercials saying this is Arrowhead or whatever and the true fans in KC are enraged wishing for a RT.

Landry jones
Ryan tannehill
Nick foles

After that we might as well roll with stanzi

It's RGIII or Barkley or bust on a qb in this years draft, IMO.

@ Jones. No way no how would I waste a pick on Jones. Cassel has a better arm and more accuracy than Jones.

Chiefs' Haley: Orton needs more work; Palko is Chiefs' QB

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Poked, prodded and asked about his starting quarterback just about every way possible, Chiefs coach Todd Haley had the same answer every time: Tyler Palko is the guy.


That doesn't mean Kyle Orton won't take the majority of the snaps Sunday at Chicago.

Haley said before practice Wednesday that Palko would receive about 60 percent of the repetitions with the first-team offense this week. Orton, who was claimed off waivers from the Denver Broncos one week ago, will take the remaining 40 percent as he tries to learn the playbook and his new teammates.

"Tyler's our starter. We're getting Kyle ready to play," Haley said. "He's not like a guy who's been here a couple of years. It's a different situation. So we're getting him ready to play."

Orton didn't arrive in Kansas City until Friday, two days after he was claimed, which kept him from having a chance to play last Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Orton was inactive for the game, and Palko threw three interceptions and fumbled a snap in a disheartening 13-9 loss.

Palko took the first set of repetitions in quarterback drills during the few minutes of practice that the media was allowed to observe Wednesday. Orton took the second series.

"It's not a perfect world. It's not going to be perfect," Orton said afterward. "You just make do the best you can, prepare yourself the best you can. That's something that I've always prided myself on, being the best prepared on the field every week."


Orton said that, contrary to some rumors, he wasn't hoping to land in Chicago, which also was looking for a quarterback after losing Jay Cutler to a thumb injury, possibly for the season. The Bears put in a claim on Orton, but the Chiefs got him because they had the priority by virtue of their worse win-loss record.

"That's out of the players hands. I know a lot was made of it," said Orton, who also denied any notion that he contemplated not reporting to Kansas City. "I didn't say anything about that. I think people try to connect the dots and say, you know, he would love to go there."

Our front office puts too much emphasis on bullshit that doesn't matter and overlook shitty ability.

TALENT wins in the NFL.

[JCharles1981]

This might be Todd Haley's way of saying to Palko "Enjoy the rest of the season because once it's over, so are you." If he knew what was good for him, Haley will cut him before next season, draft a rookie QB, and have him battle it out against Orton for the starting position next year. Frankly, Matt Cassell has proven himself unworthy of being the next great Chiefs QB.

Ayt so if RG3 or Barkley are gone then sure up the offensive line, get bruiser tailback to spell JC. Get an insurance Tight End (I don't see Moeake taking the pounding long term). Trade Pope for a bag of cheeseburgers.

To me.. we don't have any super glaring holes anymore.. RT and TE are issues, but if those two are gone you probably go with best player available there. If you identify an RT that can be taken later, trade down.

Basically, whatever you do.. don't reach on a perceived need and take someone too early

Bolded players are still on rosters in the NFL.
How many are still making a difference in the NFL? The talent on this team was a joke.

How can you say the talent was a joke, when 3 years later, other than Berry the best players on the team were inherited from the previous staff?

Carr, Flowers, Hali and DJ are the core of the defense. With Berry, those are by far the 5 best defenders on the team.

Albert is still the best offensive lineman, and Waters would be the 2nd best if he wasn't traded. Bowe is still the best receiver by far, Charles the best RB and Battle the best backup RB. TG was much better than any TE KC has put on the field.

In 3 years they've added 1 impact defender in Berry, and 1 potential impact TE who is/was always injured (and non-injured TE's who are just as good or better were available).

[BossChief]

Its refreshing to find out that we traded Waters.

I thought we just outright cut him.

Imagine this team with Barkley or Griffin throwing to Bowe, Baldwin, Breaston, and Jimmy Graham, rather than Moeaki.
