The QB Reid chooses to lead the Chiefs

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Let's try this again. I will only be happy if Reid chooses...

Poll forthcoming.

I said this in the other thread... but they just had a discussion about this on ESPN Countdown. Pretty much everyone on there said they need a QB, but there may not be an answer to fill the position this offseason.

I feel good about that also.
I don't know why so many look at it as either or.type of solution.
I could see Reid doing both as in bring in a vet and go all in on qb in the draft.

That's all fine and good, but then who is the magically answer next season?

I know I am just an old dumbass...but I really like the Murray kid out of GA. Seems smart, got a good arm, played and made reads against great defenses.

I know everyone loves Smith on here, but I just don't think he is all that and a bag of chips.

What more does the guy have to do to impress anyone?


Can't wait for the reports out of the combine on Geno Smith I bet he kicks ass. Just hope he makes a good enough impression for Coach Reid that is who matters too impress.

ESPN really does hate us. Jesus.

"We all know Andy is good with QB's, but all the QB's went in last years draft. And you're seeing weird changes. Philly to...KC? (Cast laughs). Well I guess they had Joe Montana once."

**** YOU ESPN

[Canofbier]

I voted for taking a QB with the first overall, but I'd be fine with trading back and taking one a little later (especially if we still manage to get Geno or Wilson). As much as I trust Reid's instincts for finding us a QB, I'm dreading that he signs Alex Smith or something and then signs him to a long-term contract, locking us into another QB with limited potential. Let's draft someone for once!

I don't expect magic but now that Reid is coach it makes KC a better
destination for a qb in a long long (Vermeil maybe? but I'm thinking Stram)time.

No idea. It's amazing how poorly everyone thinks of this group. I think they're underrating them a bit. But the conversation basically started as how this team has talent but needs a QB. But then it turned to them laughing about how they aren't finding one in this draft. Then Keyshawn said maybe Alex Smith, but it wasn't like he was enthused about that. Cue the Bill Paxton. Game over man.

Very true. And I think even more comforting was that Reid was able to select out of the so-called can't miss 5 players of which 3 dismally failed one of the 2 that had the best success out of all 5.

Alex smith isn't going to get a long-term contract. He's a stopgap.

I do want us to spend our pick on the guy we've evaluated as the best QB.

If that means it's at one - it's at one.

If we can get that guy at 5 or 8 or 18 that's fine.

But this is our only chance for us to decide our own fate.

Ever.

TAKE THE ****ING QB WE RATE THE HIGHEST...

if he is YOUR GUY at 5, 8, or even 18 you take the mother ****er at one.

Don't **** around and be cute and let done other ****ers get him.


If they are sold be ****ing sold

You created that narrow definition, not me.

Here is what I said:

Narrow definition? OK, if you say so.
Did you actually read what I wrote? Check out the wording in the underlined part of my comment.

Be interesting to see if this negative stays consistent as the off-season continues. My guess is that some of these analysts, especially the ones reading cards on sets, will start to have epiphanies.
