The main reason they failed is because they were content with bringing in a string of other teams' garbage at QB rather than truly trying to find a stud of their own, because they couldn't afford to wait for a young QB to develop. We've seen what happens when you try to build with great defense and OL and homefield advantage, but mediocre at best at QB. I'm done with that, as are many other Chiefs fans. If they don't take a REAL stab at getting a QB who COULD be that guy in this draft, I'm probably checked out until they do. (Note: This doesn't mean taking the next limpDick Stanzi. Would require a 2nd round pick or a 3rd if QBs slip)

If by "Chiefs fans" you're referring to the people of Kansas City and the fans that fill their stadium? I'd say you're dead wrong. |

As much as the fans may want it to happen, sometimes things just aren't ready the next year. The car needed a new paint job. They could have realized that it was going to take several coats to get it done, and along with that, more time; instead, they went to Maaco.

There are many (myself included) who would support the team through an effort like that, even if it resulted in 2-14 this season while they got shellacked several times. And if that young QB doesn't work out very well? Congrats, you're in place to take a stab at another next year.

Carl Peterson drafted three Hall of Fame players, signed a HOFer in free agency and traded for another. He busted his ass to get a winner in KC his first decade. They traded for an signed any QB they believed to be capable of beating John Elway and getting to the playoffs. To pretend as if that didn't happen is just a bunch of ****ing garbage. Quote:

This franchise is never going to draft a rookie, outside of more longshot/never-will Croyle's and Stanzi's. This year's shoulda been a free agent castoff quarterback will be replaced in time by the next shoulda been a free agent castoff.

I really hope so. And that's why I really wanted Geno Smith THIS year. Because we were in a position to get him.
It's getting pretty stupid to say, "Just wait to draft a QB next year when the class is better." In general, people who have said that throughout the Pioli years have been extremely disappointed because the class actually ISN'T better. But when it IS good, we're not a terrible enough team to pick the top guys. So that's why my mantra has been "Geno Smith in one hand is worth two in the bush." Oh well. Maybe Luke Joeckel will be Willie Roaf. |

If they're going to trade Albert, I'd sure love to see Nassib or Barkley or Bray with whatever they get in return. But I don't have any idea of what they think of any of those guys, or if they'll even be available when they pick. |

FWIW, Eric Winston, Peyton Hillis, and Stanford Routt were trash when they signed here, but they weren't considered trash. So although many players possibly avoided the Chiefs b/c of Pioli, Manning the best example, his taint wasn't absolute.

As for who should they have drafted... there were guys available during the draft in the 90s (Favre, Brunell were both taken with 10-15 picks of a wasted pick for the Chiefs) they could have taken a stab at, but Peterson seemed unwilling to do it after missing on Blundin. Your use of smillies is impressive.

Willie Roaf. The guy 3 years older than Albert that we got for a 4th/conditional 3rd, who played at a pro bowl level for 4 years.
That's the kind of move that a franchise that wants to 'win now' makes. They don't trade away their starting LT and plug in an run-of-the-mill rookie to save some bucks. We make no sense. |

Yeah, it's like we just brought in the Executive of the Decade, and everything is going to be awesome now that Herm is gone!
