Peter King: Herm will draft Matt Ryan to buy himself another year - Page 21

FloridaMan88 · 03-24-2008, 10:52 AM

I still doubt the Chiefs will take Ryan, but this is an interesting rationale for why they might and this is totally in line with the piece of garbage that Herm is.

Kansas City. Boston College QB Matt Ryan. Just a hunch, though they'll have trouble passing on Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long.

Strange thing here. At the combine, Carl Peterson told me the Chiefs loved Ryan, but there was no way they could take him because of their needs elsewhere. (Offensive line, I'm guessing.) Then they sent half the front office to his workout the other day at BC. Methinks Carl does not want to be the man to pass on the guy he thinks will be a franchise player. The other thing this does is buy coach Herman Edwards one more year of rebuilding. Even if the Chiefs go 5-11 this year, they couldn't whack Edwards until after they got a really good look at Ryan.

There isn't any reason not to draft a linebacker this year. On day one.

gun is a problem with this defense. The other is the roster.

I did read it. And I disagree with most of it.

Your choice.

I've heard this a couple of times now, how is Gun our problem on D? I'm not arguing I would just like to hear a reason, not just finger pointing.

Ask yourself if gunther would be a defensive coordinator for any team other than this one. Doesn't it seem ridiculous?

How about the fact that all the players he has asked for or liked or wanted on the team have sucked balls?

KC4EVER · 03-26-2008, 02:54 PM

IMO I think he would, it maybe iffy in todays trend of going with the new up and comers, but I think someone would give him a shot.

Couldn't agree more.

To bad we didn't get the guy I wanted that year eh?

If he is what he is, then I'll gladly take the 8 sacks a year he's gonna give me for the next 8-10 years.

Too bad he wasn't available, you mean?

You keep spewing this garbage as if it actually means something. Anything. It's too bad we didn't get the guy I wanted who wasn't taken for another 10 or so picks and is better than both Hali and Cromartie.

Eh?

So, I guess that means the LBs will suck more than they already do.

Are you kidding me? He's most way better than just depth, I think alot of great DE go through a tough time in their 2nd year, let alone one that dealt with a nagging injury most of the season. I believe the jury is still out on whether or not he can be a great DE and this year should say alot.

Hali is a good player, but I don't believe he'll ever get any better than he is right now.

He's a decnt player, certainly not a liability like Ron Edwards or Nap Harris, but if there is a chance in the next couple of drafts to find a better player, then I would pull that trigger.

Eh?

Uh who's that, because I'm pretty sure Cromartie is better than everyone that went behind him for a good while.

And it's just the point of people telling me Cromartie wasn't worth that pick and Hali was better than him......hey some people probably still think that as funny as it would be.
