Chiefs Draft Question - Page 3

**FRCDFED** · 01-10-2012, 02:46 PM

Assuming that we can't or don't trade up for a Franchise QB for whatever reason. What is our draft priority taking the following into consideration:

1. Our defense is extremely solid.
2. Sign Orton (battles in camp with Stanzi)
3. RB coming off major knee injury

Who would consider or be in favor of drafting the best RB available to keep Charles from being overworked as he recovers from his injury? We need to keep playmakers on the offense and I am in favor of drafting playmakers with 1st round picks.

Flame away but to me this would make perfect sense.

You'll give me all ten players. I don't give a shit who's a rookie, you asked me if I could name 10 starting QBs worse than Cassel.

Hmmm.... how did Tebow and Yates win?

Good defense, elite run games?

Oh yes, I believe that is how they won.

I'm at the point to where I don't care as long as it's QB.

Would you rather the team tread water and take some OT or NT? Ultimately somebody who doesn't matter? Or would you rather they roll the dice to be great.

Our biggest problem is Matt Cassel. Take a chance.

If you can trade up for RG3? Great. If not? Then get the next best guy.

Josh Freeman worse than Cassel? Sam Bradford worse?

That's some nice reactionary bullshit on one year.

How many INTs did Yates have in his first postseason appearance? How many did Cassel have?

Yates: 97.7 QB rating.
Cassel: 20.4 QB rating.

Please. This is stupid.

Houston's run game was on. Ours wasn't. Yates wasn't facing the Ravens defense. And he wasn't behind at any meaningful time. Cassel was, and was.

Yates also didn't have a starting receiver plucked out of obscurity four days before the game. Cassel did.

Yates managed the game very well. But the Texans would rather have had Cassel backing up Schaub if they had the power to do so, not Yates.

It's reactionary bullshit on two. In Freeman's case, three.

I don't want this FO to have any more get-out-of-jail-free cards with Matt ****ing Cassel. No more safety blankets, justifications, or excuses - cut him and cut him now.

Countdown to the accusation that Direckshun is a Cassel-lover: 20 posts.

Ah.

So your primary interest is not improving the team, so much as it is sticking it to Cassel.

Sane. I'm surprised the front office doesn't have you on speed dial.

Tebow threw for THIRTY TWO YARDS PER ATTEMPT.

Yeah, I almost choked up my McRib on that one.

Cutting Cassel improves the team. Infinitely.

He's just as likely to throw for 3.2 yards per attempt.

Can we just get a pre-printed list of excuses for Matt Cassel, please?
