Chiefs Take a QB in the 1st round next year? - Page 2

Alphaman · 12-22-2008, 11:20 AM

Said Dolphins LB Akin Ayodele of Thigpen, who finished with 320 yards passing, “I like him. He’s an athletic quarterback. Brodie Croyle is going to watch his back next year. There’s going to be a battle for the starting position.”

When the opposition starts to give your young QB props, you have to a moment to really consider if you need to look for his replacement. I'd really try to get Rich Gannon to come in this offseason as a consultant and work with Thigpen for a few weeks. I'd ask him to go over film and work with him on the field to work through the nuances of the game, particularly executing the boot which Thigpen hasn't mastered yet.

tebow won't be a quarterback in the NFL.... he's most likely going to be a Chris Cooley type.

If the chiefs draft him as a QBOTF i'm going to start cutting my wrists....

But to sit here and speculate when we dont even know whom the GM or staff is going to be is just silly... Its more of a pissing match between the 1st round QB fans and the Thigpen fans....

Which I am sure we will have plenty of pissing and moaning until the draft about Thigpen and his lack of anything that resembles accuracy...

I guess I'm in both. I really like Bradford and would be good with taking him. I'm also a fan of trading down and taking a MLB, OLB or DE in the first.

If we are taking any QB named Colt, it better be Colt McCoy next year. but it all really depends on who the GM is, who the new HC is, ect.. I hope that Cowher gets the GM/HC/Prez like Mike Holmgrem. That would also change our draft. The chiefs have so many holes to fill that the draft could go any way

Recent history says that isn't a good plan.

He throws too well and is too good of a leader to not get a shot at QB in the league.

Tebow has a horrendous throwing motion and plays in a run based spread option offense...please don't get enamored with college stats or mobile QB's.

im sold on Bradford,im sold on Crabtree at WR im also sold on Harrel from Texas Tech,spelling might be wrong also i think our franchise QB is just a small trade away in Colt Brennan, i prefer Quinn but Brennan can be had for a cheaper price maybe a way to let LJ go???

Some people say that lizard-people exist on earth in an intra-dimensional way that is naked to the human eye, but I don't take them seriously.

Care to guess what else I'll not be taking seriously in this thread?

The answer is Drew Brees but the pick he was taken at is a 1st round pick now, so I'm not even sure that should count and if you don't count him it goes back a long way.

I don't care if it's pretty, just complete it. I don't love the guy as our next QB, but I'm not down on him like some people are. If he test out well, I would spend a 2nd.

Lizard People were on the ballot here. They should be taken seriously.

He's every bit as big of a project as Thigpen is......bad throwing mechanics, shotgun all the time, spread run based option at that...

It's just not a good idea.

As long as Herm is fired I will put my trust in the new GM and HC to make the decision on the QB position and all of the other positions. I am not going to cry and whine like others if I perceive them to make a mistake at least for the first year or so. We have to give them time to rebuild this team and that is going to require some patience to undue the cluster **** that Carl and Herm have left behind.

True, the odds are better in round 1 as about half the starting QB's in the league are former 1st rounders, but it can be done other ways.

Well maybe they'll actually put players in a position to play to their strengths unlike this current staff.
