Well that's just plain dumb.
If the best QB in the draft is equal to a guy like Joey Harrington, you don't just take him because you need a QB. I hope that Reid identifies a QB he feels worthy of the #1 overall pick. But if he doesn't, I'm not going to ballistic, curse the franchise, etc. because I think he knows more than the fans at this point, even long suffering fans. |

But if the player chosen doesn't become a Franchise QB, you've burned a minimum of two years, if not three. |

heads will roll eventually, for everyone...not drafting a QB, or passing on one because "you're not damn certain" will lead to failure...it may be delayed a year or two because you squeezed some mediocre seasons out of a shit bag vet/backup...but you'll end up with your head lopped off

but yeah, we should avoid the risk of failure... that's worked great for 30 years...have fun with that there's a QB in this draft...Reid's job is to draft him it's that simple

He had a COUPLE of penalties and held up pretty damn well, especially given that he often was without help. I have concerns that drop him to a 5-15 pick for me. I see him going right around #10.

Bill Polian was certain when he drafted Jim Kelly, Kerry Collins and Peyton Manning. Ernie Accorsi was certain when he traded for Eli Manning.
Ryan Grigson was certain when he took Andrew Luck. Shanahan and Allen were certain when they took RGIII. I think a guy like Andy Reid has a better sense than someone like Romeo Crennel, which is why Clark Hunt went so hard after Reid. If Reid isn't absolutely certain, I don't think he'd take a guy, just to take a guy. |

If Shannahan was absolutely certain about RG3 why did they draft another in the same draft?

You're telling me "smart people" questioned Elway's ability to lead a franchise? Or Peyton Manning? Or Andrew Luck or RGIII? Bull ****ing shit. Quote:
Again, should the Chiefs take the best QB in the NFL Draft if his ability is equal to Akili Smith, Joey Harrington or even Blaine Gabbert or Jake Locker, because they just happen to NEED a QB? That is outright ****ing stupid. |

That's going to happen with any QB the Chiefs go after. Whether it be Flynn, A. Smith, Freeman, or a kid in the draft. Either way you are looking at putting a couple years in with him.
