Quarterback Competition? (from Gretz)
http://www.bobgretz.com/chiefs-footb...p-ochiefs.html
Great article by Gretz. Explains the outrage over the QB situation. If Romeo and Pioli were genuine about wanting a QB competition, they wouldn't be telling the world about who our starting QB is. There's clearly an indescribable boner fest for a QB who's not very good. |

Which is what we need. Because we don't have a QB today. We're not winning a Super Bowl within the window Routt is playing at his peak in. |

Cornerbacks usually do not have much success after 30 when they start to slow down, much like receivers. There are exceptions of course. If they have the size they sometimes make the switch to safety.

I wish we had Carr, but we knew he was going to get over paid, and he is. I wouldn't have wanted the Chiefs to pay him what he got, that would have been a questionable move. Having two of the highest paid CBs in the NFL would be spending in the wrong place. Flowers and Routt are still a good Cb tandem.

I don't understand why people are still caught up and concerned over the loss of Carr?
Yeah he was a good corner, but he wasn't worth #1 CB money. Stanford Routt is good #2 corner. Plus, We will have a better passrush this year and healthy Berry back. This should be plenty to makeup for the loss of Carr. I think we need to get out of the rut, think positive and move on. |

He honored his word about a Bronco bet. Hamas could not post here for 10 years and he'd still be a more valuable asset to this board than you.

Everybody, remove the emotions from the equation.
Would you rather have A) Brandon Carr Or B) Stanford Routt, a third round comp pick and Peyton Hillis or Kevin Boss I'll take option b without question. That's basically what this equates to in the end. Carr got 10/yr Routt got 6.5/yr Boss and Hillis got 3/yr each We are following the guidelines to receive a 3rd round comp pick from having him walk. I hate to say it, but letting Carr walk was absolutely the right move for this franchise. |

CB's don't win Super Bowls. And teams that load up on them never seen to succeed. Look at the Eagles last year... or when the Chiefs got Law and Surtain. Didn't make a lick of difference. Meanwhile teams like the Giants, Pats and Steelers win titles with CB's most people couldn't name, and in New England they play offensive players at CB. You have to rush the passer. And that's probably even more true now since CB's can't do anything to WR's anyway.

Only part I differ on is that having a good secondary can give your pass rush more time to get to the quarterback and vice versa, they feed off each other. |

You can't pay a 2nd corner 10 mill a year. No way. Carr was a nice luxury. I'm not a Routt fan, but I trust the secondary coaches we have, along with Romeo to get the most out of him. The Raiders DC last year was dog shit.

That's bullshit logic. Just because you have money to spend, doesn't mean that you should tie up a player at an undesirable number. The Chiefs obviously don't feel that Carr = Flowers so why are they going to give Carr more than Flowers?
