Chiefs Late night bullshit: doing the Geno thing again. - Page 4

Direckshun · 03-11-2013, 09:24 PM

So if the Chiefs pull off the following moves:

1. lock up a starting DE like Dorsey/DeVito/Jason Jones

2. re-sign Branden Albert

3. ink a starting corner like DRC

Then that means we'll have a hole at pretty much two positions:

backup, developmental QB behind Alex Smith

and

right tackle

(and sam-backer, I guess, but Reid's not going to draft an ILB #1 overall)

The decision boils down to the safest possible pick in Luke Joeckel and the big-ballsy risk of Geno Smith.

I absolutely cannot accept the idea that Geno Smith is out of consideration.

We've got two potential right tackles on our roster now.

This team is mostly built. There are no huge, glaring deficiencies other than Alex Smith.

The secondary will have seven players with significant starting experience (Berry, Robinson, Abdullah, Lewis, Flowers, DRC, Arenas).

The WR corps could be beefed up, but features two receivers Andy Reid loves in Bowe and McCluster.

A tough defensive line. A good pair of bookend passrushers.

The Chiefs have a very experienced starting QB for Geno to sit behind.

And that starting QB was himself a 1st overall pick, and could mentor Geno through the worst aspects of it.

Geno's skillset beautifully matches a west coast offense.

It just makes too much sense to say no to. Too much sense.

Here's what I'll say:

If my plan was to bring in Geno Smith with the #1 pick, knowing what I know about him, then this is how I prep my team for his arrival.

I sit him for the year, let Alex fight for his reputation, and keep Geno comfortable with the clipboard for as long as Alex isn't shitting his pants.

This is what you'd do, right? The Chiefs haven't made any buzz with backup QBs. They've not commented on Stanzi. They haven't talked to anybody other than the QBs in this draft.

They don't want to burn the 1st overall on a right tackle. Surely not.

Logan Thomas and Aaron Murray are basically comparable to EJ Manuel and Tyler Wilson.

Next year's class is horrible.

Go back 12 months and I guarantee you'll find a hundred identical comments about this year's QB class. I remember talk on draft day 2012 where people expected this year's class to go 5 or 6 deep in the first round.

That's supposed to be a good class?

Manziel sucks.
Thomas is raw as **** and not accurate at all.
Murray and Boyd? Really?

I'd take Geno Smith and Matt Barkley over Murray and Boyd.

Hammock Parties · 03-11-2013, 10:02 PM

Shit man, Aaron Murray and Johnny Manziel are both 6 feet tall.

They're probably gonna be 3rd rounders.

The OP is filled with optimism and hope, but the reality is we were a 2-14 team last year, the defensive line isn't very good, our cb#2 is either not on the roster yet or is pure shit, we need another safety, we have no RT, and we just sent at least one high pick for a mediocre QB. Plus we cut Winston rather than trying to trade him. We look like a middling team that made a couple of bad decisions already and is poised to make another one in the draft, but god dammit if we aren't the biggest saps clinging to the Bowe/Albert moves to give us just enough to keep our hopes on life support.

oh, there is no doubt about that. I think i said that it looks like it could be. Absolutely correct. I too thought that when Barkley went back, that he was a sure fire no doubt number one overrall pick. Then I actually watched some games, specifically the Stanford, and the Arizona games, and i was like wow, this dude is garbage. And those were after FLATBALLGATE....

No mention of Teddy Bridgewater whatsoever? You're not doing much to improve your credibility in evaluating quarterbacks.

2014.

We'll draft Clowney next season after Alex Smith gets a concussion in the preseason and Cassel is back at starter for 2013.

Here's what we get in 2014:

I don't think I could root for a QB named "chuckie".
