Chiefs The Chiefs are taking Geno #1; bank on it - Page 44

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.

whats worse is thinking Geno Smith is worth the 1-1 pick. Because no one else in the NFL thinks that except OAK

so congrats....

CoMo, you need to stop throwing stones. You literally have the worst takes in planet history. Literally, if I ever find myself in agreement with CoMo, I go double check my facts and analysis.

Kevin Kolb will probably try to have sex with him because of how big of a homo he is. Bruce Arians will try to Penn State him in the showers.

So which are you going to believe?

Why would I believe Winston? You think he'd advertise being cut for medical reasons when he still has a shot on another team? He's going to sell it as a huge head scratcher and hope someone else bites.

Goddamnit man, no one cares about the ****ing Jags. People here care more about Cleveland and Buffalo than the useless, shit-rag Jaguars.

Yeah, it MOVED to a 6th or 7th round pick.

A few weeks before it moved, it was a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Yes, opinions change, players rise, and players fall. The funny part is the players who fell for you were guys that EVERYBODY saw sucking AIDS eventually. Teo and Mathieu, specifically. And (even to my surprise) Tyler Wilson.

Secondly, it's pretty hilarious to watch you thump your chest about being a Geno hater like it's a great triumph. NOBODY is worth the 1-1 pick this year if you are that sour on the QBs. I at least advocate for creating the best possible situation for a franchise QB to succeed and become that guy for the team. You advocate for being an impatient asshole and grabbing whatever "safe" value there is, even if it's at a worthless position like OT or even ****ing G. DON'T CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE GOTTA GET OUR #1 PICK PLAYING NOW! NOW NOW NOW NOW!

Enjoy flushing the 1.1 pick down the toilet like a ****ing reerun. The Winston/Joeckel swap might just extend a few drives more than last year. Congratu****inglations. You sure did find a way to maximize the 1.1 pick in a bad draft year.
