Chiefs I'd still say the race for Andrew Luck is still on.

First off, the Chiefs are still a ****ing bad team, thanks to injury, Matt Cassel, and piss poor coaching/play calling.

Those blowouts we had to start the season were perfect indications of it.

A close game with San Diego was predictable if you follow spot betting for professional football:

1. The Chargers just lost their Super Bowl of September against the Patriots.
2. The law of averages favors the Chiefs, two times over.
3. The emotional advantage is totally on KC’s side.
4. Todd Haley’s Chiefs compete after tough road losses.
5. Teams that aren’t total disaster cases like the Raiders tend to tense up and play up and beyond their best when they lose their franchise player(s).
6. The Chiefs aren’t as bad as everybody (including themselves) are making them out to be.

These are all factors that say: this game was going to be close, regardless of the chasm in talent between the two teams.

We've also got two shitty opponents up next in the Vikes and the Colts. The Chiefs will look composed and together. In reality, however, these two games (and the Chiefs should win at least one of them) are shitty teams against shitty teams, and shouldn't convince anybody on CP that this team is anything but a Bottom 5 squad.

You sure you wouldnt rather give up a Second for Matt Flynn, than draft a 1st rd QB?

I wouldn't. But anybody claiming Pioli wouldn't has their head in the sand.

No more trading for back-up QB's with alleged potential.

Steve Pelluer, Steve Bono, Elvis Grbac, Trent Green, Matt Cassel... ENOUGH

Time to draft a franchise QB.

I agree with this statement and have for 20 years or so.

Trent Green shouldn't be on this list, he was actually damn good for several years.

Pioli hates the Packers. Wants nothing to do with them. That entire system/coaching tree is Holmgren/Walsh and has absolutely nothing to do with Bill Parcells.

If there's one thing I've learned about Pioli over the years, it's that he is the ULTIMATE "good ol' boy network" GM/executive. Doesn't trust any coach who doesn't know all 12 verses of the Bill Parcells anthem as well as the Secret Bill Parcells Handshake. And if he doesn't trust that coach, he sure as hell doesn't trust that coach's players, much less that coach's QBs

Fair point.

Matt Flynn looked good with the Packers offense.

Sound familar?

Yeah it does...

But we are no where close to the packers level of talent...

I would rather draft a guy and go from there... Start him immediately and see what happens.

Exactly.

He's ALSO a 7th round pick.

He's ALSO been backing up a future HOFer with an elite offense.

He's ALSO looked good in the spot work with that offense.

He's ALSO a high intangibles guy and physically limited.

He's ALSO a free agent this offseason who the Packers will franchise and auction him off to the highest bidder.

The two are carbon copies.

Matt Flynn sucked in college. Why would I want him in the NFL?

Brock · 09-26-2011, 09:47 AM

Don't worry, Rivers just had a bad game.

DJ's left nut · 09-26-2011, 09:47 AM

If Kerry Collins can't play, I'm not sure how we can outsuck the Colts.

Curtis Painter is terrible. I mean damn, how did an NFL team think that having this guy on their roster was a good idea?

Our only hope is Robert Mathis. He could just torment Richardson to the point that Cassel actually starts taking the snap from the fetal position.
