Wow...we're really talking ourselves back in to believing that we are drafting Geno?

This is masochist behavior.

Chase Daniel just got 9 mil... they aint drafting Geno, and if they do, they are trading him.

All 3 QBs would equal less than what Flacco is getting paid. Money is not a ****ing issue.

Paul Kruger

Bernard Pollard
Cary Williams
Bobbie Williams

2013 additons:
Chris Canty

I mean, Ozzie Newson is a geat GM.. but JFC.

If you're going to pull the band-aid off, might as well do it quickly.

Credit to Newsome, though - he's doing a great job of doing what has to be done. The worst thing he could do is chase guys that are getting that SB bump in FA. That would prolong the inevitable decline that comes on the heels of long winning eras.

Right now he has the glow of a SB on him and his fans. They'll be elated for 2 years. Get your house in order by not overpaying for guys, let the roster atrophy a little and then rebuild in a few seasons. Hell, by then Flacco won't have the luster he has now and you can re-structure his deal to reasonable terms.

I'm not saying they had much of a choice, but yeah, they're going to be bad soon and they'll need to go through an extensive rebuild. At least for them, their rebuild came after a championship and didn't waste the primes of half the team's best players.

**** you, Scooter.

Exactly why they can do it. A SB win will placate the fans for 1-2 seasons.

They didn't bring Chase in to be a 3rd. This is wishful thinking, fellas. I know it hurts, but let Geno go...

It is what they did after their last SB victory. Apparently it is a recipe for success....

Asamoah has played LG too. Could plug this dude in at RG and flip Asamoah back to LG

Anything to get Allen off the field.

That guy was awful from what I saw.

You do know that Chase's contract voids after 1 year if throws for more than 2000 yards or 12 TDs....correct?

And Alex Smith has only ever played a full season....twice in his career....correct?

Hopefully he looks better at OT

booger · 03-15-2013, 10:57 AM

Hell, they could put Asamoah at C and Hudson back at LG depending on how the new staff views things

If you're happy with 1 success every 13 years in which two cornerstones of both successes are two 1st ballot HOFers and neither is a QB.

I realize the Chiefs haven't had that success in 40+ years, but I'd rather build my team differently where they can rip off 2 or 3 SBs or SB appearances in a 4-5 year span (see: NE, NYG, Indy, Pit).

Good heavens, can you imagine this place if they draft Geno and then turn around and trade him. That would be such an awesome rollercoaster ride on ChiefsPlanet that it's almost my favorite possibility just based on the people watching factor.

tyton75 · 03-15-2013, 11:03 AM

Have we OFFICIALLY signed this dude yet?

Daniel's deal is worked to where it can basically be a one year deal if we wanted to cut him
