Chiefs Scott Wright Savages the Chiefs - Page 3

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-29-2013, 12:49 AM

From his draft breakdown when discussing the selection of EJ Manuel:

I will rarely criticize a team for at least trying when it comes to quarterbacks. I would much rather take a flyer on Manuel and his potential than waste time with also-rans such as Alex Smith and Carson Palmer. Teams like the Chiefs and Cardinals are just treading water and delaying the inevitable. Assuming of course that the ultimate goal is to win a Super Bowl.

I thought it was stock footage from some draft in the mid-nineties. Those guys look like extras from the SNL "Da Bears" skit. I'm almost convinced that they're out of work actors being paid in free beer and food...

I wanted the chiefs to take a QB. Smith seemed the best option as the closest to a consensus pick.

But shit, every team passed on the kid. It's not like he slid to the 15th pick, he made it to the second round. It's not like there aren't teams in the league that are in dire need of QB help, hell the Jaguars Eagles and Titans, none of whom are exactly set at the QB position, passed TWICE on him.

I can believe that the chiefs way is to pick up vet QBs to keep the 9-7 show on the road and the stadium full, but I don't think passing on a guy that no one else wanted either is really evidence of it. It seems more likely that there's substantial evidence (visible to experts) that Smith isn't up to it.

But i cant understand people cheering that wildly for a tackle?? At the end of the day, hes still just a tackle.

I was relieved it was him over joeckal. Not excite like those guys though.

The funniest one was i think was the Jags fans crowd reaction shot. Everyone was cheering...except one lone guy in the middle of the crowd, obviously not happy...he then sticks both hands up in the air and flips 2 birds. NFL Network quickly cut away.

31 other teams validated the decision made by Andy Reid and John Dorsey on Geno Smith. Like you mentioned, some of them validated it twice.

It's time to move on.

"The Buffalo Bills gave a huge contract to Ryan Fitzpatrick. They don't know QBs."

God, the excuses in this thread. People don't realize that once you actually HIT on a QB, unless the surrounding team is complete garbage, your team no longer sucks ass.

People may as well be saying:

"The Ravens reached on Joe Flacco? Yeah, that's because they're shit with QBs."

"The Redskins gave up that much for RGIII? Yeah, that's because they're shit with QBs."

"The Dolphins reached on Tannehill?"

Etc.

The Chiefs will always be one of those teams who is shit with QBs until they grow a pair and draft one.

They look like plants. The guy in the back looks like he's not sure if he's on camera or not.

it's probably a good idea for me to get a hard hat as well, considering how much I bang my head against the wall with this team

Were you just looking for a reason to use the word 'savage' in a thread title?

Questioned? Yeah, he certainly questioned the Chiefs approach to QB acquisition.

But it was a 2-sentence, throwaway comment. The Chiefs have been savaged with fair frequency over the last couple of years. This kind of patty-cake barely merits a blip on the radar.

Oh I know, I know. I used to be a true fan in the 90's. Winning season with another scrub back up QB, one & done in the playoffs and I would clap like a seal for another fish to be tossed to me.

Exactly.

At some point, you have to start taking shots.

Even if the Chiefs didn't take that shot at 1.1, they should have taken a shot this year. They should take a shot every year until they find "the guy." Even after giving up the second round pick, they should have taken a shot (especially considering the way QBs slipped).

And even after finding "the guy" they should continue drafting QBs, because of how much you can get for them in trade.
