Trading for Nick Foles
Nick Foles to the Chiefs? Two perspectives (well, mostly one)
By MNchiefsfan on Jan 19, 6:33a 692 http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/1...-chiefs-rumors Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports Why NOT throw another QB's name into the mix? The Chiefs can use all the help they can get at the position in 2013. I don't know if you've gotten the memo, but quarterback is the main topic of discussion for the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason and for the 2013 NFL Draft. What quarterback is the best of this draft class? Should the Chiefs draft a quarterback? What round should we draft a quarterback? Should we get a quarterback in free agency? Is Geno Smith awesome or terrible, with no in between? What quarterbacks are available via trade? And on and on it goes.... I'm not immune to this latest obsession with quarterbacks. I'd say the decision as to whom the Chiefs place behind center next season will largely make or break the next several years (if not the next dozen years) of Chiefs football. If the Chiefs blow it, we'll continue to be trapped in mediocrity for a couple of years. If the Chiefs knock it out of the park, we might contend for a Super Bowl for a decade. Somewhere in between and we could go back and forth between the two for awhile. It's kind of a big deal. continue in spoiler

My bad.
The Dolphins were one of the teams with a winning record that Matt Cassel started and won against, when he was a Patriot. Edited.

We are tired of getting other teams castoffs. Geno smith has the potential to be great. Go visit the geno smith thread. |

What's sad is how a non-heralded rookie (Foles) was so much more effective than the trash we trotted out there. JFC. Whoever is our starter next year -- Reid will at least give us an NFL-caliber passing attack. Thank god.

I substitute taught at his high school a few times last year, and had his sister in class. I'm not saying this means a damn thing, but she was... Ummm... Not bright at all (even compared to the other SPED kids in her classes).

It's actually a pretty good read on the kid. Foles has all the skills needed to be successful. That being said, I still want to draft Geno. I'd trade a 3rd round pick in a heartbeat for Foles though.

Teams know the single most important postion in the league is the QB. Instead of relying on other team's scraps, they draft their own guy. Most teams do what the Chargers do if they spend a high pick on a bad QB...they draft another one with another high pick. The Chiefs really need to start doing that too.

But while I'd like to see us draft a qb in the first, at this point I think it's looking unlikely. So Foles would be my second option. I wanted the Chiefs to draft him last year. |
