QB Situation - Offseason Moves - Page 10

Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan · 12-19-2000, 06:01 AM

Sparked by other conversations, Bob Dole was discussing KC's QB situation with another KC fan at the bar last evening when we arrived at a point of disagreement.

Most of the people here want Elvis to renegotiate his contract and return next season. Most of us also agree that Warren isn't the backup we perhaps thought he was prior to the San Diego game. Bob Dole assumes Collins in a big [b]?[/b] since there's never really much discussion about him.

The point of disagreement was whether we should find a QB with a "style" similar to Elvis', or find a QB that "compliments" Elvis.

Bob Dole's position was that we should acquire a 2nd QB with a similar style of play (i.e. primarily a pocket passer as opposed to a scrambler). The primary reason for this position is that differing style would require significant adjustments to play calling, blocking schemes, etc., where a QB with similar style could be more "plug and play."

Maz is a natural MLB, and although Edwards might be a good MLB, with his lack of size, would probably wear down with the constant pounding from interior linemen & 250lb+ blocking backs. I like Edwards where he is.

Clint--
Great call at Center. Usually can't wrong with a Husker lineman (even though I hate the bugeaters! :mad: )

And Toombs (sp?) is a big hulking stud.

cbg5--
Maz is along that nutso-wide-eyed-plays-with-reckless-abandon type of guy who is perfect for MLB. I'd like to see DE blitz more often...[i]without[/i] telegraphing to everyone in the stadium.

~~Can we already be talking draft??

I say you go with the best QB available as the backup, regardless of his ability to scramble. As for Elvis, he showed that he had some ability to scramble in '97 prior to his injury. Before the '99 season, I seem to recall MaGoo suggesting that he would go out and tackle Elvis himself if Elvis started to scramble. He just wanted him to throw the ball away.
Isn't it interesting that Elvis' scrambling ability resurfaced at just about the same time that Goonher's job security appeared to become somewhat shaky?

just something that made go....Hmmmm
