Interesting Chiefs News

[Mr. Flopnuts]

This comes from someone who has been an incredibly reliable source on this site in the past. Take it for what's it's worth.

If Claussen falls to around the 20-25th pick the Chiefs may package their 2nd round picks to move up in the draft to take Claussen. Weiss is telling all teams that contact him about Claussen that he is the real deal. Claussen will play in the NFL for 10-15 years.

Weiss is not sold on Cassell. He feels that he may not have the mental tools to be a successful QB without better players around him. He feels that he has the physical tools, but lacks the mental discipline thats needed to play the position. Both Haley and Pioli think Cassell will work out fine.

So what is gonna happen? Weiss wants a quality backup in place behind Cassell to push him. Croyle is not that backup. Everyone at Arrrowhead knows Croyle is not a long term solution so he can't really push Cassell to excel.

Enter Brady Quinn. The Chiefs had talks with Cleveland a couple of weeks ago about a trade to KC. But, the Browns trade demands were really stupidly high so the talks went no where seriously. If the demands come down, Quinn will be a Chief.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the rest of this info is from other sources so get out that shaker of salt to take wth this information. Compiled from 4 different sources.

Supposely Buffalo talked to the Chiefs about a trade for Croyle.

Cleveland wanted the 2nd round pick plus a 5th rounder for Quinn.

KC was willing to part with a 4th-5th rounder for Quinn. Which one would depend on playing time,

Weiss and Cassell talk almost every day on the phone and in person. Long talks.

Nothing new with the Bowe wants a new contract before the OTA's situation. But, the Chiefs have put out trade feelers to gauge interest in Bowe but most were 4th-5th rounders.

We should hire Mark Vlassic to be his QB coach.

If Weis thinks Clausen is the real deal, we should be taking him at 5, provided he's there.

Yeah, because Pioli was/is impartial in his grading of Cassel.

[ForeverChiefs58]

A friend of mine who is really big into the 49ers told me his team thinks Claussen reminds them of another good ND QB Montana and they could use their two firsts to get him.

I'll not say I read it on ESPN

Thats saying alot when Weis whos a brilliant offensive mind isn't sold on Cassel. He's never gave Cassel a ringing endorsment in interviews either.

[chiefzilla1501]

Yeah, because Pioli was/is impartial in his grading of Cassel.

2 Wrongs don't make a Right.

I'd rather Claussen than Quinn--I think Quinn is far too inaccurate to be a successful NFL QB. But either of these guys... coaches sometimes become too attached to players they once coached. If we get them, I agree, I'd like for a source other than Weis to be impressed with one of the two also.

No way. He's the real dill.

It'd be cool to trade Dorsey and a pick for the Lions 3rd trade back with the other pick and draft Claussen. Claussen & Berry FTW. It won't happen.

Period.

Considering 7 teams in the Top 10 need a QB, I'd say zero.

Rams will go for Suh, I doubt Cleveland will because they are already paying 2Qb's, I doubt Al gives up on Fatmarcus, Buffalo will go for a scrub like Vick or Croyle.

would the Lions pass on one of the top DT's in this draft for Dorsey? I don't see it. I think I would take Suh over Dorsey, but that is just me.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I think Cleveland and Jacksonville both need one. But I think Jacksonville needs one more. I'm just not a Gerrard fan at all. Cleveland has a couple of guys they're choosing from. I don't see them going that route just yet.

[Titty Meat]

would the Lions pass on one of the top DT's in this draft for Dorsey? I don't see it. I think I would take Suh over Dorsey, but that is just me.

I think Suh goes to St.Louis and Dorsey is probably better and less expensive compared to what McCoy will ask for. I don't think theres anyway we have 2 top 10 draft picks but if we're not going to be big spenders in free agency I wouldn't be opposed to it.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

So we're going to pay another top 5's pick signing bonus, and give the best player coming out of the 08 draft away after already paying his signing bonus? Talk about colossal stupid.

[chiefzilla1501]

Who said Weis is wrong?

I trust Weis more than I trust Haley or Pioli on this.

But it's a common syndrome for coaches to be biased against players they coached. It's the reason why, in my opinion, Solari refused to let go of Jordan Black. It's almost like admitting you were wrong the first time.

Again, it's not that I think Weis is wrong or that he doesn't know what he's talking about. It's that I worry that Weis is operating with blinders on this, only because he's coached them before. On this, I'd second-check with the scouts to make sure they agree on the value.

Especially on Quinn, as I really question whether he has the tools to be a great NFL QB.

[Hammock Parties]

Pipe dream. Someone will take him in the top 10.

[OnTheWarpath15]

You know the rule: If you don't have a franchise QB, don't pass on one.

None of those teams have franchise QB's, IMO.

Washington might be the only one that might, IMO.

[Titty Meat]

Not as stupid as paying 2 D-ends in a 3-4 top 5 money.

Yeah, I agree. But that makes me think 9 teams in the top 10 don't have one. I'm not sure that Freeman is going to fit the bill. He needs his opportunity though, so I definitely think 8 need one. Clausen, and Bradford :eek: are both probably going to go top 10.

[DeezNutz]

If he's available, it will be a major mistake for KC to pass on Clausen.

(the opinions expressed by this poster do not necessarily reflect the views of BRC)

Why do you laugh? How many SB's did McDaniel's win as the coordinator in NE? Who had more talent to do so? Our offensive coordinator > your head coach.

[Ralphy Boy]

A friend of mine who is really big into the 49ers told me his team thinks Claussen reminds them of another good ND QB Montana and they could use their two firsts to get him.


Our #5 = 1700 pts
our #50 = 400 pts
Total = 2100

Their #13 = 1150
Their # 16 = 1000
Total = 2150

Seems like a fair trade, but then who do we draft?

[Titty Meat]

If he's available, it will be a major mistake for KC to pass on Clausen.

Then Clausen is groomed this year and Cassel's option is picked up next year? I'm cool with that but I don't see how they win 8 games this year with all of that going on.

[kstater]

I think it'll be a pretty moot point. I don't see any way Clausen is there at 5.

If we acquire a legit QBOTF, I could give two fucks how many games the team wins in '10

My 8 wins or bust philosophy goes down the shitter.

And there are a couple of fucking stud WRs coming out next year, too...

what if, by some crazy scenario, suh fell to #5, would you take him? It may make Tyson Jackson worthless and the current regeme red faced, but dorsey and suh make a nice pair.

have an alabama reunion and go mcain and cody.

No.

Why not? We could totally switch back to a 3-4 and put Tyson at LB.

[Consistent1]

Somebody needs to come up with a "hold him hostage" scenario for this. That is a clever thing nobody on here has ever thought of.

[chiefzilla1501]

have an alabama reunion and go mcain and cody.

I think McClain could easily fall there. Maybe even Spiller or Bryant.

I also wonder if Brandon Graham is going to fly off the draft board. Maybe Jerry Hughes might too. I would very, very, very gladly take the top rush backer on the board with a top 16 pick and I think we easily could.

[DeezNutz]

Why not? We could totally switch back to a 3-4 and put Tyson at LB.

Tyson is definitely part of the right 53, so we'll find a place for him.

[Titty Meat]

You dont want to draft McClain at 5.

[ForeverChiefs58]

No I wouldn't draft Suh over Clausen or Berry.

what if it went in no particular order
Claussen
bradford
berry
Okung
would you suh then?

[Dante84]

Why not? We could totally switch back to a 3-4 and put Tyson at LB.

Maybe when he was 19 and knockin' out suckers in the first round, but not now. Did you see how old he looked in The Hangover?

[chiefzilla1501]

No I wouldn't draft Suh over Clausen or Berry.

I wouldn't draft Suh over anybody, given what we've committed into those two positions. Dorsey and Jackson will be just fine. Maybe neither will be nearly worth the top 5 pick, but in terms of their role as a pure 2-gap, they should do well enough.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Tyson is definitely part of the right 53, so we'll find a place for him.

Exactly. Line him up at FB.

[Titty Meat]

I would hope the Chiefs trade down. I'd imagine a guy like Singeltary would love Suh.

Nice what if, but there are 2 teams that NEED a DT in Detriot and Tampa.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Dude. He knocked Alan the fuck out. At least I think it was Alan.

I heard Jim Schwartz wants Suh, but Gunther Cunningham is convincing him to take Cody instead. Unofficial source.

[ForeverChiefs58]

Nice what if, but there are 2 teams that NEED a DT in Detriot and Tampa.

If you ever watch a Bucs game, I do cause I live in orlando, they need a QB a lot more than a DT. I know they just wasted a first on one. But when you fail you have to keep trying, like the chiefs with d linemen.

[Dante84]

Sure. But Tyson Jackson = Alan

I like Alan better because he's not afraid to gamble.

[Ralphy Boy]

have an alabama reunion and go mcain and cody.

Insert Dan Williams for Cody and I'd be happy, though I don't think McClain will be on the board at 13 with Denver picking at 10.



Can you imagine the mayhem if we drafted a DT & OT again in the first round? Groundhog day.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I like Alan better because he's not afraid to gamble.

Nguyen for the gambow gambow.

[Kyle DeLexus]

I had a chance to talk to Tampa's GM Mark Dominik and he believes in Freeman. They took him as a "project" type and are prepared to give him a few years to grow. If they do anything, it'll be going after a vet QB as a stop gap.

[the Talking Can]

if you want clausen then just fucking draft him, you dip shits....

or...or...we could wait and see if the QB we want drops 25 fucking picks and then say "damn...oh well" when someone sane takes him in front of us...

we've already lost one QB because of Cassel...why not pass on the 2nd....

excuse me while i reach through my asshole to pull my penis back out through my ass in a dramatic rendering of how this franchise makes decisions when it comes to the most important player on the field...

This just seems too ridiculous to even talk about. I cannot imagine anyone in their right mind would rather have Okung than Suh. Not saying its impossible, stranger things have happened, I just would think that there is no way Schwartz & Spags would both pass on him.

I'm down for Clausen if Weis vouches for his crispness, that'd be a kosher insurance policy if Cassel wilts under the mounting pressure.

[Mecca]

I'm down for Clausen if Weis vouches for his crispness, that'd be a kosher insurance policy if Cassel wilts under the mounting pressure.

I would be willing to bet that if somehow both QB's aren't gone by 5 the Chiefs attempt to move down, everyone will think the Chiefs are going to take the QB and we'll just be dropping out, Pioli is not going to take a QB top 5 basically admitting his pick of Cassel was an epic fuckup.

[ChiefsCountry]

I think Clausen or Bradford is going #1 to St. Louis, especially with a new owner in St. Louie. You got a make splash and QB will do that more than Suh.

I wouldn't mind trading for Quinn, fuck give them a 4th for him. Cleveland wasn't good for him. Get his ass here, let him beat out Cassel in the preseason. Pioli looks like a even bigger dipshit for bringing that POS Cassel here in the first place. And we would finally have a QB we could build around.

[TRR]

It would make a lot more sense if Weiss said that Cassel didn't have the physical tools. How can Weiss possibly judge Cassel in that regard already?

Cassel battled a ton of issues outside his control, and stayed pretty positive for the most part.

Cassel's mental toughness is the very least of my concerns.

It would make a lot more sense if Weiss said that Cassel didn't have the physical tools. How can Weiss possibly judge Cassel in that regard already?

Cassel battled a ton of issues outside his control, and stayed pretty positive for the most part.

Cassel's mental toughness is the very least of my concerns.

It's not that difficult to judge...maybe Cassel thought he was a fan and told him to shut the fuck up.

Or maybe he talks to Weis like he talks to the media "What are you talking about Charlie I don't make mental errors"

I would be willing to bet that if somehow both QB's aren't gone by 5 the Chiefs attempt to move down, everyone will think the Chiefs are going to take the QB and we'll just be dropping out, Pioli is not going to take a QB top 5 basically admitting his pick of Cassel was an epic ****up.

If Charlie Weis wants Clausen really, really badly and the scouts like him too, I doubt Pioli would be too arrogant to say "no." The only reason he might is because he might think he sees better value in the 2nd or 3rd rounds (after all, he has historically taken a LOT of QBs in that area).

[DTLB58]

This comes from someone who has been an incredibly reliable source on this site in the past. Take it for what's it's worth.

If Claussen falls to around the 20-25th pick the Chiefs may package their 2nd round picks to move up in the draft to take Claussen. Weiss is telling all teams that contact him about Claussen that he is the real deal. Claussen will play in the NFL for 10-15 years.

Weiss is not sold on Cassell. He feels that he may not have the mental tools to be a successful QB without better players around him. He feels that he has the physical tools, but lacks the mental discipline thats needed to play the position. Both Haley and Pioli think Cassell will work out fine.

So what is gonna happen? Weiss wants a quality backup in place behind Cassell to push him. Croyle is not that backup. Everyone at Arrrowhead knows Croyle is not a long term solution so he can't really push Cassell to excel.

Enter Brady Quinn. The Chiefs had talks with Cleveland a couple of weeks ago about a trade to KC. But, the Browns trade demands were really stupidly high so the talks went no where seriously. If the demands come down, Quinn will be a Chief.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the rest of this info is from other sources so get out that shaker of salt to take wth this information. Compiled from 4 different sources.

Supposely Buffalo talked to the Chiefs about a trade for Croyle.

Cleveland wanted the 2nd round pick plus a 5th rounder for Quinn.

KC was willing to part with a 4th-5th rounder for Quinn. Which one would depend on playing time,

Weiss and Cassell talk almost every day on the phone and in person. Long talks.

Nothing new with the Bowe wants a new contract before the OTA's situation. But, the Chiefs have put out trade feelers to gauge interest in Bowe but most were 4th-5th rounders.

Now that's some inside info, A QB needs some better players around him to be successful. :hmmm:

Unfortunately this makes sense. Unless Weiss can convince Pioli we need a legit backup because Croyle sucks and is a walking bandaid. But even then Pioli would not use the #5 on him.

I haven't given up on Cassel, but I don't necessarily agree. I was unpleasantly surprised at his leadership. There were games where his expression looked like he had almost given up, and he didn't seem to be firing up his teammates like I thought he would.

I think that's something that could get better with better coaching. But it's plenty of reason to be concerned. I think he might be a lot more hotheaded than we realized.

Why does it make sense? Wasn't his reputation in New England, according to many on the board, that he was a gopher for Bill Bellichick? Why do people think he's so arrogant that he won't listen to his coaches, especially the experienced ones? That's how he made his mark in New England.

And his 2nd season was so bad, I mean why a 2nd year starter can't get the job done in a new offense, with a first year coach, with new WRs every week, and the O Line more fluid than water...is beyond me. The knee injury he suffered really had no barring on his play either, or the 13 days he had to learn a new offense before the season started.

We should just cut him...

Your attempt at facetiousness underscores the fact that Cassel, even when given a great offensive line and excellent skilled players around him, is nothing more than average.

I'm pretty sure that once the keys were handed over, Clark Hunt isn't meddling too much. I doubt that this is a problem. The Chiefs have to spend that #5 pick money no matter who they draft. And I think everyone and their mom realizes that there aren't going to be a lot of players in FA to spend on anyway.

Seriously, I don't see any major obstacle. If the Chiefs like Clausen, they'll take him. To say otherwise is pure conspiracy theory.

[the Talking Can]

Cassel is the QB. Pioli gave him a ton of cash for that role. If we did draft Clausen he would ride the pine for 2010 for certain.

I doubt they draft a QB there. But I don't think it will be because they were afraid to take another QB or because of politics.

If we follow Pioli's history, he likes to take QBs around the 2nd or 3rd. And frankly, I think there are a lot of teams that will be afraid to rate Clausen as a legit top 10 pick. Question that decision all you want. But that's a very different reason.

I dont completely buy the angle that Pioli, regardless of investment made in Cassel, wouldnt insure the mission critical QB position with a kid that is very well known & liked by his talented & trusted comrade OC.

It wouldnt be an admission of anything, other than wanting to be as set as possible at QB. Cassel gets hurt or maybe he's still kinda grinding along a year & half from now...

I don't think it's a secret that Clark Hunt would have liked to have kept Herm and felt guilty about pushing him out when Herm was promised time to gut the team. And one of those big decisions Herm made was to hire Chan Gailey, who would have been fired after one season. I doubt that he has the same kind of emotional attachment to Cassel. And I doubt he meddles much outside of the initial coaching decision.

Personally, I think most of the above listed possible situations are likely discussed and would be considered. It's due diligence for the team to evaluate the worth of some of their players, as well as inquire into possibilities to fill holes or improve the team.

I have no doubt they'd consider shopping DBowe or replacing Cassel.

When has Pioli taken a QB in the 2nd?

Kevin O'Connell 3rd round, 2008
Matt Cassel 7th round 2005
Kliff Kingsbury 6th round 2003
Rohan Davey 4th round 2002
Tom Brady 6th round 2000

The one thing that I liked best about the Pioli hire at the time was that he seemed to understand the importance of the QB position. Even with established starters, he kept drafting QBs, so that there was the hope of developing the next starter in the pipeline. This is a fantastic approach, and one that we need to emulate.

And then he went vintage Carl...

You don't have to feel sorry for Herm. But from Clark Hunt's perspective, given that Herm completely gutted the team, I can't imagine he would have done so unless he received some kind of assurance that his job would be safe in 2009 regardless of how many wins the team had.

It's not as much about Herm as much as it is about Hunt. With Herm/Gailey, I imagine he feels like he broke a promise. That's why I think he was a lot more involved with the coaching decision than with players. I don't see any players on this roster who Clark Hunt refused to let Pioli cut because of emotionality.

What's your credentials for judging an NFL QB? Same as mine I would imagine.

My opinion of Cassel (and any NFL QB) is that you have to have consistent pieces around him to be successful. Until Cassel has that, you can't judge him.

Am I saying he's a future Hall of Famer or Pro Bowler? Not at all. I'm saying let's be a bit patient, and see what he can do when he is afforded a bit more time and consistency in offensive philosophies and personel.

It wasn't that great of a season. It was a bunch of screen passes to Welker and Moss to break for YAC. He was average as best that year, not to mention he sucked even worst this year when he had the better OL, better running game and better WRs.

It was a very good season for someone with zero college or NFL real game starting experience prior.

I don't know why that's so hard to admit. I understand he sucks, and I don't think he'll ever amount to much, but the ragging on him constantly is like Reerun beating the Herm drum every chance he gets.

[ForeverChiefs58]

Its funny how everybody forgets about his days in New England when he had that talent, and still wasn't that good.

he still won more games in one season, than the chiefs have in three seasons.

[Deberg_1990]

I dont think Cassel is complete garbage....but i dont see alot of upside in him.

I think hes always going to be a guy who throws 15-20 TD's a year.

I want a guy who is going to throw 25 -35 TD's a year. Thats pretty much the standard now for guys going to Super Bowls.

Well he is paid to be our franchise QB and the team fucked up by trading for him when a legit one was available. I think its legit to rag on the POS. Face it he is the face of our franchise, if he played like a legit franchise QB I would have no problem eating crow and say I was wrong about him. I really would and hope for the Chiefs sake he does, bc I don't think Pioli is man enought to admit he screwed up.

I tend to agree with you.

I believe he was better with the Patriots in '08 than most are giving him credit for, but like you, I don't expect him to ever amount to much.


As to the news, if they like Clausen enough to trade a couple of draft picks for him, just take him a #5 overall.

We have too many holes to fill to be giving away picks that high in the draft, and last year proved that reaching wasn't a problem for them.

[Touchdown Bowe]

20th-25th pick? He'll be lucky to escape the top 10..

[Fat Elvis]

would the Lions pass on one of the top DT's in this draft for Dorsey? I don't see it. I think I would take Suh over Dorsey, but that is just me.

You're not Gunther Cunningham....

[DaneMcCloud]

What's your credentials for judging an NFL QB? Same as mine I would imagine.

My opinion of Cassel (and any NFL QB) is that you have to have consistent pieces around him to be successful. Until Cassel has that, you can't judge him.


Exactly. He's nothing special, maybe even below average.

He'll never be the guy to put the team on his back and win consistently. He's a role player.

And yes, we can judge him because the evidence exists to support this conclusion.

[Touchdown Bowe]

Cassel is basically Trent Dilfer..He'll never lead us to the super bowl unless we provide him with a top notch defense

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Trent Dilfer sucked!

[Titty Meat]

That's 1 throw, and it's fine to bring it up as a great play he made. All I ask for is consistency, until he can consistently complete passes in the 10-20 yard range he will always struggle.

Explain why Cassel threw for 2 400 yard games. You never admit to being wrong.

"Yards after the catch (YAC), accounted for a whopping 57.3 percent of his total passing yards. The closest to that were Jason Campbell (52.0 percent) and Brett Favre (51.2 percent)."

And Mecca defends the other 2 imagine that. I suppose thats why we never see Mecca around after a Chiefs victory either?

Who is this legit franchise quarterback that was available to the Chiefs?

Sanchez?

Cassel

And then consider that the Cassel was the second most sacked quarterback in the league and the Chiefs receivers led the league in dropped passes.

My opinion of Weis went up dramatically. My opinion of Haley and Pioli stayed the same.

Honestly, If Weis thinks Clausen is worth it at 25, he's worth it at 5. You're drafting him there to be a QBOTF.

Sanchez had two very bad games. He also won two playoff games and was leading a third when his team was beaten by Peyton Manning.

The Jets will add at least one more receiver this off-season and Sanchez will continue to improve.

Must suck to be that QB who has beaten Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Has 2 playoff wins and played his best game in the biggest game of his NFL career. Must suck be a nOOb QB who didn't shit himself in the playoffs either. Must suck to be the Jets who can build for the next 15 years around Sanchez.

[Saccopoo]

I'm sure he will, but he's playing behind one of, if not the, best offensive lines in the NFL and had the #1 rated defense to cover his ass. But yet, he threw for 500 yards less than Cassel and had four less touchdowns, four more interceptions and a substantially lower quarterback rating. Cassel played behind the worst offensive line in football, had no defense to rely on, and his receivers led the league in drops. But he still had a better year than Sanchez, and people around here are ready to tar and feather Matt. You put Sanchez on this Chiefs team and think about what his stats would have looked like. If he could only throw for 2400 yards and a 63 QB rating on that Jets team, how bad would it have been here? But the vast majority of this board is more than happy to crucify Cassel.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Matt Cassel had a better rookie year. Higher TD/Int ratio, threw for more yards, higher QB rating. He had a better rookie year than Stafford, too. Great, young prospect who will only get better. And he's only in his early 20s.

I don't want to crucify Cassel, I wan't to crucify him upside down. I'd like to garrote him with Concertina Wire, and then have Ivar the Boneless give his worthless ass a Blood Eagle, topped off with him being drawn and quartered by four Clydesdales at midfield of Arrowhead. But first, I'd like to clone him, just so I could see it done to him again.

And yet, in spite all of this, I still hope he succeeds.

Why are you even here? Go buy a Sanchez jersey and start posting on the Jets fan boards.

[BossChief]

How about giving the guy a chance?

I mean, shit we can keep beating a dead horse or we can look at the Cassel situation as a player that nobody in the world knows his upside.

I wanted no part of the trade, but whats done is done. I have hope that we have the right people around him so he can be successful in the future.

As Ive said before, I would be very very happy if we took Jimmy Clausen, but it isnt gonna happen.

I am trying to keep a glass half full outlook on the guy and hope that the reasons he wasnt successful last year will be lessened and he will get more comfortable and start to make plays. I dont know if that can happen, but with Weis as his OC and QBC he should have the best opportunity of doing so as possible.

Dropped passes
no qb coach
no offensive coordinator
line consistency

We have VASTLY improved two of those with the Weis hire and we fix the problems we have at receiver problem and are better on the line before we take the field next year. I have hope. We

2009 was a complete loss of a year to an already advanced aged and under-experienced qb. Not a good start to the regime, but hopefully its salvageable.

I don't think Cassel's upside is nearly as great as Sanchez's upside.

Sanchez is just getting started and Cassel is nearly 28 years old.

[RustShack]

We can't follow Pioli's history because he's never been in the position to need to draft a QB high.

He went from having the #1 overall pick to the fucking winning lottery ticket.

Actually Pioli drafted Chad Pennington in the first round.

From everything I read he played in a part in trading for Welker and Moss.

I also like how some people are treating Cassel as a rookie. If he was a project that needed time there is no reason not to draft the younger and far more talented project that needs time.

[Saccopoo]

I really wish the Aids Tree would hit you full force, you make CoMo and Hootie look like geniuses.

You are the retard claiming that Sanchez is the ultimate QBOTF Franchise guy after his complete shit bag of a season.

Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl.

Rex Grossman got to a Super Bowl.

Because they went deep into the playoffs, are they the ultimate franchise type quarterback? Because you are using that sole qualifier for Sanchez. A guy with a 63 rating and a whopping 12 TDs.

[DeezNutz]

Yeah, I was speaking only about the Pennington acquisition. I didn't think they overlapped b/c Pioli was off to NE in 2000.

I'm not 100 percent on this. Could be wrong.

[RustShack]

The Pioli haters like to pretend the GM does everything without the help of the guys he hired to do that stuff.

[DeezNutz]

From my perspective, the "Pioli haters" want to see some evidence that the motherfucker can put together a string of strong moves on his own.

He simply couldn't have had a worse '09. Now let's see him rebound.

[Titty Meat]

Meh even if he drafted Pennington it's not much to write home about. I hope this source is right though this will draw a clear distinction between Pioli and Peterson.

This. Pioli looks to be off to a good start by hiring Crennel & Weis, I don't remember the last time the Chiefs didn't have cordinators who were "Yes Sir" guys.
