If not #1, where?

The draftniks keep saying that Geno Smith isn't worth the #1 pick.
None of them say he isn't the top QB in the class though.
If we don't take him at #1 how far is he realistically going to fall?

I see no scenario where he falls out of the Top 10.

So if he's the top QB in a weak class...
QB is our biggest need...
And he's gonna go Top 10 anyway...

Why not at #1?

Am I wrong to say he won't fall out of the Top 10?

If he wasn't ready to play in Year One, he was over-drafted at the #10 overall position.

Plus, he's just been an awful NFL QB.

Are you suggesting that if they had passed on Locker and Gabbert and continued winning 6-7 games with the veterans they had, they wouldn't have been?

Striking out looking is apparently more desirable than striking out swinging.

Not sure I understand the logic at all.

I think it's possible, especially if they hadn't reached on QB's the year prior, yes. Reaching for a QB shows not only desperation but the fact that said GM can't properly evaluate quarterbacks.

Although Gene Smith had been on shaky ground for a long time.

Really? Where's the proof of that? And don't say Pioli because he sealed his fate the day he sent the #36 overall pick to the Patriots for Cassel.

Do you guys think this is some kind of game? That not choosing a QB in the first round is a fire-able offense?

He was incredibly young when he was drafted (#8 overall), and I don't necessarily agree that a first-round pick must play week one of year one.

Treat each case differently. But draft for overall talent and upside.

If they were successful QB's the team would've won. Winning masks a lot of issues. If they would have won, no, they wouldn't have been fired.

Yeah, drafting a QB is risky. But the rewards are tremendous.

Every GM/HC has to identify a QB. Every one of them.

How well they are able to identify that QB and then develop him is what keeps their Jobs or gets them fired.

First off, you dumb mother****er, NEVER have I stated that the Chiefs shouldn't take a QB with the #1 overall pick. You're as ****ing as reeruned as you've always been.

Secondly, it would be outright ****ing STUPID for John Dorsey and Andy Reid to select a quarterback on the sole reason that "It hasn't happened in KC for 30 years".

THAT is ****ing stupid ass logic.

Not winning is a fireable offense.

Finding and developing your QB is the key to winning.

As someone who has argued this point many times in the past, i find it odd that you feel the need to play contrarian lately.

If you're drafting a QB #8 overall for talent and upside, my opinion is that you've reached and over-drafted.

It's not 1970 or 1990 or even 2004 anymore. Unless you're team is fully loaded with a QB in place (like the 2005 Packers), it's ridiculous to spend a Top Ten pick on a QB that needs major development before he's ready to play.

No, I'm saying the exact opposite.

Let's say you're Gene Smith. You know you're a shitty GM, but really want to keep your job. You have two options:

1) Draft a QB. A delicate process, but one that will keep you in business for years if it works out. A great QB = wins = a job. However, if the QB busts, the shitty job you've done with the team will be exposed and you'll get fired

2) Don't draft a QB. In spite of your shitty record with ALL first rounders, this might have a higher chance of generating a positive contributor to your football team in a QB year like 2011. However, even if your player hits, there's still the issue of the vacancy at QB as well as all the bullshit around that vacant QB you drafted before. You can draft this one guy and he can hit, but you need to do that AT LEAST ten more times before your team starts to play well and you get to keep your job.

So which one would you choose, Gene Smith? If I were that guy, I'd pick option #1. Hit on that QB and your job is gold. Whereas in #2, you can hit on that pick but your job is still in danger.

I'm playing "contrarian" lately because I believe that it's equally possible that Dorsey and Reid either trade for veteran QB (Flynn or Smith), trade back and accumulate picks and draft a QB in the later rounds, as it is that they take a QB #1 overall.

Yet that possibility, when mentioned, is met with disgust, anger and outright hostility, which I also find ridiculous considering none of these guys have been fully evaluated yet.

I think they might do this too, Dane. My point is that it will be a major mistake.

I understand what you're saying but I also believe that Gene Smith is a rare circumstance because he had years to draft, develop or trade for a QB but it wasn't until his job was in jeopardy that he actually made the move.

So essentially, he drafted Gabbert out of fear instead of drafting him because he felt he was a franchise QB.
