Are you suggesting that if they had passed on Locker and Gabbert and continued winning 6-7 games with the veterans they had, they wouldn't have been?

Although Gene Smith had been on shaky ground for a long time. |

i'm right...even the laziest look back at coaches and QBs makes that clear
there is no 'risk'...it exists in your mind and your mind only and it's that obsession with a fake risk that explains the Chiefs 30 decades of failure...and hopefully that bullshit comes to and end this year

Do you guys think this is some kind of game? That not choosing a QB in the first round is a fire-able offense? |

Treat each case differently. But draft for overall talent and upside.

Yeah, drafting a QB is risky. But the rewards are tremendous. Every GM/HC has to identify a QB. Every one of them. How well they are able to identify that QB and then develop him is what keeps their Jobs or gets them fired. |

Secondly, it would be outright ****ing STUPID for John Dorsey and Andy Reid to select a quarterback on the sole reason that "It hasn't happened in KC for 30 years". THAT is ****ing stupid ass logic. |

Finding and developing your QB is the key to winning. As someone who has argued this point many times in the past, i find it odd that you feel the need to play contrarian lately. |

It's not 1970 or 1990 or even 2004 anymore. Unless you're team is fully loaded with a QB in place (like the 2005 Packers), it's ridiculous to spend a Top Ten pick on a QB that needs major development before he's ready to play. |

Let's say you're Gene Smith. You know you're a shitty GM, but really want to keep your job. You have two options: 1) Draft a QB. A delicate process, but one that will keep you in business for years if it works out. A great QB = wins = a job. However, if the QB busts, the shitty job you've done with the team will be exposed and you'll get fired 2) Don't draft a QB. In spite of your shitty record with ALL first rounders, this might have a higher chance of generating a positive contributor to your football team in a QB year like 2011. However, even if your player hits, there's still the issue of the vacancy at QB as well as all the bullshit around that vacant QB you drafted before. You can draft this one guy and he can hit, but you need to do that AT LEAST ten more times before your team starts to play well and you get to keep your job. So which one would you choose, Gene Smith? If I were that guy, I'd pick option #1. Hit on that QB and your job is gold. Whereas in #2, you can hit on that pick but your job is still in danger. |

Yet that possibility, when mentioned, is met with disgust, anger and outright hostility, which I also find ridiculous considering none of these guys have been fully evaluated yet. |

So essentially, he drafted Gabbert out of fear instead of drafting him because he felt he was a franchise QB. |
