Chiefs The Chiefs are taking Geno #1; bank on it - Page 58

Fat Elvis · 03-05-2013, 11:03 AM

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.

Cassel's got the market cornered on crapping thy pants, so when the rush gets to Alex we can use Piss Boy as the go to smack on him.

Been down this road waaaaay to many times to get excited. Perhaps the draft will change my outlook (Geno please, would settle for Bray) but right now I can't get that excited.

I see this posted alot and I think we've only done this 3 times in the last 15 years. I'll take a one and done over a 2-14.

Last year, Braylon Edwards, Crabtree, Josh morgan.....bleh. not loaded.

Mods...can someone please lock the Geno threads?

Also these people keep talking about how Geno isn't a sure thing like Luck or RGIII and therefore is not worth the first pick... after being vehemently against the very idea of tanking or trading to get either player last year.

I got destroyed on the 49ers board when I started the suck for luck campaign. People hate the idea of tanking until they realize that one terrible just absolutely atrocious year, could lead to 15 years of success.

Wasn't manningham there last year? Jenkins too? Williams too?

We will have plenty of Jaguars forum posts about Geno after we draft him. So no worries.

Never gonna happen. Geno is absolutely going #1. Just not to the Chiefs.
