Not a rumor: Ryan Lilja may be returning to KC
EDIT: No longer a rumor. The Chiefs have reportedly reached out to Lilja.
We're three deep at guard, however. If this is true, I think this portends ugly things for Rodney Hudson's recovery. I think the Chiefs may be angling for a patch at center. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/4...-of-ryan-lilja The Return of Ryan Lilja? posted by The Gentry Apr 06, 2013 I've never had inside information before, but today I do. It's weird - and it was from out of the blue today - but I have it on good authority that Ryan Lilja is negotiating with the Chiefs to return for the 2013 season. That isn't to say that he would make the cut for the active roster after training camp, but I'd say he's got a damn good shot at that. What would you think to have Lilja back in the fold? — I ain't saying, cause if I do someone's gonna get mad Last edited by Direckshun; 04-09-2013 at 02:22 PM.. |

I don't give a rat's ass if you are the greatest athlete to ever walk the face of the Earth, your skills are going to begin to diminish at the age of 32-33 years old. Alex Smith is a marginal, mediocre player, and when his physical skillset begins to diminish, he is going to suck nearly as much ass at QB as you do as a poster. Nearly impossible, but there it is.

Now, cross-reference those results with the guys that have the mediocre skill set that Alex Smith has. Your argument has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. |

I wasn't sure how to get this point across to him, but that's a pretty damn good way.

Let's back up just a second. What do you think my argument is? It has nothing to do with rarity or Alex Smith's demonstrated skills.

And you don't have to be John Elway to have an open window beyond 33. Trent Green's window was open beyond 33. The Chiefs' lack of success during those twilight years had more to do with defense, the end of Priest Holmes, the retirement of Willie Roaf, and a career truncating injury than it had to do with Trent's 34th birthday. Alex Smith may never have the modest success of Trent Green (aside from the fact that he already has some playoff success), but he certainly has at least as much potential.

Brett Favre with Minnesota can either fit Patteu's view or be viewed as an aberration.
I personally don't have a firm shake on the matter, other than I do agree that most QBs hit their prime b/w 26-33, as they have usually hit their athletic primes and have a solid understanding. |

There should be a list of qbs that fit your hypothesis. When the truth is that the only QBs that have been superbowl players after 32/33 years old are guys that were elite nearly their whole careers. Not Career game managers AT BEST like Alex Smith. |

BTW, there is a long list of QBs who fit my hypothesis, but the only thing bothering to list them will do is give you a launching pad for applying hindsight and arguing about whether or not the list proves anything. Trent Green is a representative member of the list though, as I mentioned earlier. Do you agree that his window was open beyond age 33?

Jim Plunket was one of the QBs beyond the age of 33 to win. But the sample size suggests that Alex Smith winning a SB beyond the age of 33 is a slim chance. Plunket wasn't an elite QB, but his physical skillset was higher than Smith's.
