The latest Chiefs news from KFFL...

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

Is this the thread where the Chiefs have 14 million in unused cap to carry over to 2013 season is buried? It was PTF a day or two ago, no since trying to find it...

The Kansas City Chiefs may pursue Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles if he is not retained by the team. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid may want to reunite with Foles if he believes the quarterback has a high ceiling.

If indeed in this FO's opinion Foles does have a high ceiling I think the Chiefs will pursue Alex Smith to start while developing Foles. The Geno or bust crowd will hate it but I'm willing to defer to Reid and Dorsey's qualified expertise and give them the benefit of the doubt (for now) if they go this way.

But if this is the way things will go down I think they will keep drafting young QBs (rounds 3, 4ish) in the next several years in case Foles hits a snag in his development.

I believe Ar made a statement about needing to be playoff/C'ship bound in three years. In that case, Alex Smith is a no go. IMO, best bet is Geno with Foles as backup or Geno with Alex Smith as bkup if he comes cheap , which he won't . So Alex smith goes to AZ to compete for and probly win the start gig. I'm in agreement with defering to AR and Dorsey's bonafides.

I would be all in on Foles as competition/backup to our first overall QB.

But any scenario that doesn't include a 1st round QB this year is not in any way satisfactory.

Since I was not/am not on board the Reid train (didn't like that he was the hire), that would be strike one.

What's wrong with Reid, and who did you want?

I've never liked his overall philosophy.

Even in today's NFL, I think he undervalues the running game and LB play.

I thought his best years were the ones in which Jim Johnson hid their LB deficiencies with exceptional blitz schemes, and Westbrook made the most of his limited opportunities as a runner.

Wesbrook had a 3 season stretch of 233 carries, 278 carries, and 240 carries before he broke down.

The past 3 seasons McCoy had 204 carries, 273 carries and 200 carries in an injury shortened season.

In that same time both RBs averaged about 60 catches per game.

If Reid uses that same Philosophy on Charles, I don't know how anyone could be mad.

I think he ignores the D altogether which is why I was hoping for a stronger DC choice, but I couldn't be more ready for an offensive minded coach who specializes in the QB.

Serious question. What would it take to make you happy with a HC, GM or the Chiefs in general? Because I have never seen you happy with the team.

Competing for and winning SBs.

Reid competed for SBs for years, only lost one by 3 points, and you don't like him.

Acquiring Foles, in addition to our own (legit) draft pick, would be a great move. We have to throw viable numbers at the position, given our dearth of current talent.
