The Chiefs are taking Geno #1; bank on it

[Fat Elvis]

Andy loves him some QBs. And KC has been a bottomless pit of QB suckage. While folks initially freaked out over the ASmith signing (me included), once they locked up Bowe and Albert, it seemed pretty clear that Geno will be the choice at #1.

People say you don't draft a QB #1 to sit on the bench, the first pick of the draft isn't a backup QB. They are right. They say ASmith will be the starter, especially given his compensation. They are right. Ummm, does that mean that Geno is being groomed for a year or two behind Alex? Not necessarily.

What? That is nonsense!

Only in the traditional sense.

I think Reid and Dorsey are thinking waaay outside the box on this one.

If (when) the Chiefs draft Geno, the whole idea of a "backup" QB will be shook up. "Backup" will be a matter of semantics. "Starting" will be a matter of semantics as well.

Reid and Dorsey both see the need for 2 "starting caliber" QBs on a team in today's NFL. San Fran proved beyond a shadow of a doubt last year that it really pays to have 2 QBs on your team who can start for you.

If one "starting caliber" QB goes down, you have another "starting caliber" QB ready to be plugged in and the team doesn't miss a beat.

It has been repeated ad nauseum on this board that the QB is the most important position in all of football. When you have an offense that is predicated on throwing the football 40+ times a game, you can't afford to have a dropoff in productivity should one of your QBs goes down for a time, otherwise your season is effectively over.

Reid and Dorsey get this.

As fans, especially Cheifs fans, we need to rethink our conceptions of "backup" and "starting" and realizing we are entering an era of "starting caliber" QBs.

We are being built to win.

We are being built to win even in the face of adverse contingencies.

We are going to win.

And I like it.

you really need to do some work on the difference between and excuse, and a reason........

There is a big difference.

This is comedic gold! Let them fight this one out!

gotta love when a dumbass tries to be funny, and then ****s up himself.

Guess what ? You are making excuses again. Rodgers and Brady don't have the limitations of being average

you know, i do think there are some really educated people on this forum, from a football standpoint,, and then there are just reeruns like you, and sour limp dick, and i just shake my head. If turds like you werent here, this site would be so much better.

You cant understand how brady and rodgers having the same systems their entire career, and having the luxury to sit and learn the qb position without being thrust in too early would benefit those two guys?

My ****ing god. Your parents should both be slapped.

Then CP members spew insane garbage because they dont have a clue.

The reason Alex Smith was given the contract he was given, was because it was a one year deal essentially. Jim Harbaugh, told his own father that he thought colin kaepernick was the best player in the DRAFT. Jim Harbaugh shortly after taking the 49ers job, asked andrew luck if there were any qbs that stood out while he was at the mannings passing camp, andrew told him colin kaepernick. Jim and Baalke went and held a work out with him. Colin Kaepernick, was, and is Jim Harbaughs hand picked qb. Alex Smith was a serviceable place holder until Kaep was ready.

Alex Smith, is andy reids serviceable placeholder until andy reids qb is ready.

You think you know about alex smith, but the truth is that you dont. You think you know, but your information is all about what you have heard stephen a smith say or some other nfl network hack, and doesnt hold a candle to what true niner fans know.

You are a kool aid drinking, mouth breathing, drooling fool.

If Jim Harbaugh thought Colin Kaepernick was the best player in the draft, why didn't he draft him at 7?

Answer: they thought Aldon Smith was better.

That QB is apparently not Geno Smith or Matt Barkley. Either we take a rancid turd like Matt Scott or Landry Jones in the back of the draft (puke) or we wait until NEXT YEAR once a****inggain to magically be in that right moment in the right mindset with the right coaches and the right personnel, and find the right guy in the right year with the right skills for the right offense in the right year of the Chinese zodiac.

It's such a shame that Geno had to get drafted in the year of the Snake. Andy Reid and Dorsey are big on QBs in Dog and Rabbit years. Occasionally a Rat or Dragon will work out, but he generally needs a Dog or Rabbit. McNabb was a Rabbit.

Just stop with the "placeholder", "stopgap" bullshit.

You don't spend two premium picks on that kind of QB.

That's the kind of commitment you make to the guy you see as your starter for the forseeable future.

Exactly. We are getting 3 years of Smith whether we want it or not.

exactly. No one had him projected in the first round, but they did trade up to get him in the second.

YOu can say whatever you want dude. I know, you just want to be right.

if he is your qb for three years, he is playing well, and you are winning games.

that would be a horrible thing.

How do you get 3 years? He has two left on his current deal.

I wouldn't confuse Reid and Dorsey with SP. I don't think Smith starts come hell or high water. If he struggles, I think he'll be replaced, after one year if he plays poorly enough, regardless of what was given up.

How long would you expect a team to stick to a starter freshly signed to a 100 million dollar contract?

How about a guy they drafted with a 36th overall pick and groomed for a couple years?
