Chiefs Dorsey: "Remember, it's not a sprint, it' s a marathon" - Page 2

Buckweath · 01-14-2013, 10:08 PM

Dorsey's message to the fans: "I am going to do everything within my God-given ability that we have as competitive as a team in the NFL as anyone in the NFL. I want to remind them. Please be patient. This is not a sprint. It is a marathon."

Us fans after all those years of futility, of mediocrity, of becoming the new Browns, we should be patient???

I won' t lie, I hope that Chiefs team can at least have an 8-8 record next year and that's me having low expectations.

Are you willing to wait a few years in order to become competitive because of all the changes ??

Remember ya'll, it's a process....not miraculous instant gratification.

Better to lower expectations and rise above them than to start with unrealistic expectations and not even come close to meeting them.

when that starting shot is fired, Geno Smith better be coming out the blocks for this team gentlemen, or you won't see the end of this race.

We'd better matriculate the ****ing ball into a playoff win by year 2, dammit!! :-D

It's a process.

mediocre in 2013 but we better be talking playoffs after that.

Settle in because Clark is not firing these guys after four years.

40 + years and he wants to use the the term marathon ? This marathon continues, damn, we need a sprinter just to have a change of pace. It's time to finish this last leg of the race!

I'm with you on this. I have lots of patience left for this team as long as we start this race with our own quality qb. Sign a veteran guy and keep him in the bench as an insurance policy against a complete bust at the position. Have no problem with that. If we pick up a FA qb and don't draft a qb this year or next then I have to seriously question his GM chops. I don't even care if Smith or Wilson turns out to be only mediocre, we can always keep looking for that franchise guy.

Just don't try to tell us that no one was worth drafting because that has gotten really old.

That's what happens when the previous people in charge left total dog shit at QB.

ChiefMojo · 01-15-2013, 06:19 AM

Oh I don't think we have anything to worry about when it comes to drafting a QB this year. The only worry is if it is the #1 pick or not? Trust me, we will take a QB in this draft. One thing the Green Packers have done a lot through the years is take a QB in the draft, namely in the mid to later rounds.... some years one early and then another late.

BryanBusby · 01-15-2013, 06:24 AM

It's a given that the Chiefs will be drafting at least one QB in April, but it remains to be seen if Andy Reid will start a rookie at QB if he could avoid it.

CoMoChief · 01-15-2013, 06:30 AM

We need a QB....we will be a at most 6 win team if this isn't addressed immediately.

Get a good QB and we could possibly be 9-10 win team..but will prob just miss the playoffs.

I fully expect to be a 11-12 win team in 2014. With as many good players on this team, it would be a fail not to. Shit we had 5 Probowlers on a 2-14 team...that's unthinkable really. Then you have Albert, Bowe, Flowers, Houston, Winston...that's about half of your starting unit that is either Probowl, have been Probowl, or borderline Probowl status.

No reason at all with a good coaching staff and w/ a QB that's not a total shit head, that this team can't be a 12 win team by 2014.

Reid and Dorsey haven't been running the Chiefs for 40 years.
