Chiefs really made a commitment to Smith Jay Glazer @JayGlazer Deal has been agreed upon between Chiefs and 49ers. Compensation unclear but I'm told again Chiefs have made a clear commitment to Smith. |

Last August, Claynus argued that Bray would be a Top Ten draft choice due to his arm strength, which I refuted due to his immaturity and age. Bray's in a perfect position to have an NFL career, even if it's only as a back up. He can learn from one of the best QB teachers in the NFL and he'll only be 23 years old to start the 2015 season. The second largest contingent of Super Bowl winning QB's came not from the 2nd - 7th round, but beyond the 7th round. There's a much higher percentage that he'll become a Franchise Super Bowl winning QB than had he been drafted anywhere from 2-7. |

Its over the top to say Geno is a bust after some preseason struggles, even if they are major. But....Its a bit of turnabout is fair play. The Geno danglers continually force fed him to everyone to the level of calling anyone who didn't want him a true fan who is fine with mediocrity. Some people are having a hard time coming to grips with the reality that maybe they look really really wrong after rubbing it in everyone's face for months. If you don't want harsh reaction when you are wrong about something don't be an asshole while insisting you are right. |

Remember, this entire board was crazy during the season for QBs. Tyler Wilson, Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon, Geno Smith... all of them. It was all over the place, but generally kept to its own thread. I can't really feel sorry for you if you felt shouted down during the regular season. That's your own fault. |

And I believe they will. Although, just because you keep drafting first round qbs and missing, guarantees nothing. The browns since 99 have drafted Tim Couch one over all, Brady Quinn, and Brandon Weeden, and will be drafting one again next season.

If Bray had shown any leadership abilities at all, he would of been drafted.

Geno "conversation" overtook most all threads.

QB talk took over most threads.
The team was shit. The fans were revolting. Our ILB murdered somebody and committed suicide. Of course the natural course of conversation was going to focus on a new QB. But it was restricted to college QB threads. You didn't see that shit in the stuff about SOC, and you didn't see it in the Chiefs news threads. Selective memory. |

There isn't a "staggering" number of free agent QB signings. Hell, there have only been 55 QB's taken in the second round since 1967, three of which have won a Super Bowl. |

It does sometimes go on a bit too much for both sides, but without all of this angst and counter-angst, we'd be bored to tears, reduced to bitching about miley cyrus all day |

hell, it could be argued that staubach was a surefire first rounder if he wasn't at navy--the service committment scared a lot of teams away apparently.

Trivia Question: Staubach was drafted by which NFL and AFL team in the 10th round of each league's respective draft?

It would require a massive amount of research to figure out how many were drafted/signed beyond the current 7th round configuration since. |
