Around 10:30 this morning I was listening to Nick Wright on 610 Sports and he mentioned Jon Yoon's post from this morning

Basically, Yoon gave his thoughts on five myths he felt surrounded the Chiefs quarterback situation. His feelings are summed up pretty well in the title: "It's Okay To Draft Jimmy Clausen...And Yes, It Could Happen." He raises a few interesting (and debatable) points.

Wright, who had some nice words for AP, strongly disagreed.

"Jon Yoon wrote on Arrowhead Pride -- it was posted at 6:20 this morning -- that it's okay if the Chiefs draft Jimmy Clausen and yes it could happen," Wright said.

"No, it's not okay and no it can't happen!"

Here's a link to the 610 Sports podcast. It's about 25 minutes in.

Well, if you're into believing GMs at the NFL Combine, then Wright is, uh, right. Chiefs GM Scott Pioli said today that the Chiefs aren't in the market for a quarterback and Matt Cassel is the starter (and future) moving forward.

Of course, this won't change the rumor mill from churning. Due in large part to the Charlie Weis connection, I suspect we'll continue to hear folks suggest it's not so crazy if the Chiefs draft Jimmy Clausen.

Has there been any type of reason to believe that Denver is still the slightest bit interested in Cassel? I am being serious. Figured that idea would be shot by now. The Chiefs are stuck with him for now unless something crazy happens IMO. As far as the rest of the denial stuff, whatever. They most likely really are not wanting a QB, but leaking it out and denying makes it seem sly to average board junkies. I doubt anyone is fooled, or cares enough to make some silly ass trade to give the Chiefs a ton.

Well this has been obvious all along, some people just refuse to accept it. It will be ok. If Cassel sucks that bad, maybe we can get Locker next year. But I would rather him improve and show that he can lead this team to the playoffs and beyond. I would like to take Dan LeFevour(sp?) in the 4th or so.

It's an interesting situation for sure. From the outside looking in, I wonder how much input you take from your offensive coordinator in regards to a draft. Aside from the GM and HC, there's a whole staff of scouts, and Crennel's going to be pushing for a defensive player of course.

IDK, I personally don't think Pioli is the type of guy that's going to swayed by his offensive coordinator for an enormous franchise changing decision like this. If anything, maybe they (GM, HC, head of scouting) might think Weis is too biased and can't be impartial and think even less of his opinion?

Just some thoughts.

It's definitely unwise to trust a two-time Super Bowl winning offensive coordinator's opinion, especially when he developed the player in question.

I'm sure that the scouts are far more knowledgeable in their evaluations of Clausen.

I hear what you're saying, and I personally believe that you keep drafting QB's until you get a franchise guy, so while I don't think Clausen's a great prospect I think he'd be a good pick for KC.

But as far as the decision process I'd think that the Director of Scouting's opinion is typically going to carry the most weight. And Crennel's got the same qualifications as Weis, he'll push for a defensive player. Just an interesting, unique situation this year.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in KC's war room when they discuss this stuff.

It is Fact that there is absolutely no way they are not "loooking' AT Matt C.
the Guy who has been running our scheme his entire college career from under center.
If they don't realize the potential success rate of a guy who gets to come into the NFL, with the luxury of being injected into to the Pro game running the only professional grade scheme has ever know, that He's likely 90% Mastered by now. Throw in the bonus of getting to step into this league with your college head coach, who wears a fist full of rings, hold your hand the entire way.
You could not ask for a better environment for success than that. It's damn near unheard of.
I think it would build an element of chemistry, and a family feel that you can't buy.

If we pick JC, and it never leaks that we were interested, Pioli should be ****ing saluted, hell worshiped. All the Pioli bashers would have no choice but to take notice .

BUT we better at least end up with Berry when the 1st rnd ends or Pioli will have lost me.
This is no time to **** around. You've got 2 rare prizes in this draft, You've got to walk away with one of them.


I Like JC because of the "so perfect that it won't happen" situation he has here in KC, because all I've seen of him are highlights, but from what I've seen, the dude looks more talented than Tom Brady, but we all know there's more to winning than talent. What I'm saying is, dude looks like we could plug him in ,protect him with the running game the first few games, and turn him loose the rest of the season. He knows the offense.
As a matter of fact, if I were JC, I would be praying to come here. I would hate to go learn a new offense from a total stranger, and would know deep down that my chance for success were significantly smaller having to master an entirely new offense.

Here, I'll help you:

Clausen is the same as Cassel.... Shitty leaders

And drafting Clausen with the 3rd pick would be stupid. Clausen was knocked for not being a leader. If you are going to draft a QB that high and pay him he better be able to lead a team.

Yea but Clausen isn't a top prospect I've even seen you say that before. Cassel is going to get 2 more years no matter what I would prefer drafting a QB in the 3rd or 4th round cut that shit Brodie Croyle and develope said QB. Cassel will be 30 or 31 then you can dump him.


Or maybe the Chiefs draft Clausen?

Yuck but that makes some sense if Weis is the OC.

Yea I'd like to see Washington draft Clausen, I hate both of them.

Fall in line? How so? I argued aginst drafting Sanchez last year and it looks like I was wrong. The reasons I listed for Clausen not being a good pick had nothing to do with his playing ability and like I said Weis knows much more about QB's than I do. I will admit I've changed my position on Clausen.

Yeah, I would say that most of the people who were screaming for Sanchez last year (who also said that was the last year for awhile that there would be a QB worth taking) have been listing Clausen as their #1 or 2 choice for the last couple weeks. This is shaping up to be exactly like last offseason, IMO.

Sanchez is going to go from a game manager to a super star in the next couple of years IMO. He's hungry, has a good arm, and makes great decisions.

As good as Clausen looks, a part of it for me is the connection to Weis. He has years of experience doing the things that Weis is going to do here. That has to play a part in it if you think he has the skills to be a franchise QB to begin with. I'm not sure anything like that has ever happened in the NFL before.

Cassel: I'm sorry Jim, but I chose this # for a reason, it is a symbol of what I've had to go through to finally have my own team.

Jim: "I've never worn another number dude"
"Why don't you wear the # you had in NE that you had soo much success in. I'm telling you dude, you change your #, it's bad juju..


Cassel: "with all do respect bro, I can't give it to you."

Still disagree.

I think he holds on to the ball way too long, is reckless holding onto the ball and is a fumble waiting to happen, and I don't think he's going to operate well behind either a more complex offense.

I like Clausen's upside a lot better. Not great measurables, but solid enough. But real smart kid with good accuracy. Granted, I think his upside is better because his downside is lower. I don't know if Clausen will be an elite QB, but I think it's a pretty good bet he'll be a good QB.

To be honest, I don't follow as many college teams as a lot of these guys do, and it was my understanding that our only choices this year were Jeebus Junior(Florida), Larry(OU) and Shemp(UT).

But I'm not completely averse to holding out one more year if there will be comparable or better candidates.

So, we're not looking for a QB in the draft, yet we met with Levi Brown of Troy two nights ago.

Brilliant.

Don't believe anything until it is been officially denied.

Still disagree.

I think he holds on to the ball way too long, is reckless holding onto the ball and is a fumble waiting to happen, and I don't think he's going to operate well behind either a more complex offense.

I like Clausen's upside a lot better. Not great measurables, but solid enough. But real smart kid with good accuracy. Granted, I think his upside is better because his downside is lower. I don't know if Clausen will be an elite QB, but I think it's a pretty good bet he'll be a good QB.

Fair enough. I'll tell you what, we draft him and I'll be his biggest fan.

The team is out on the field, Jimmy, askes Matt,

Jimmy:"dude let's work it out. How much you want for the#.

Cassel: I'm sorry Jim, but I chose this # for a reason, it is a symbol of what I've had to go through to finally have my own team.

Jim: "I've never worn another number dude"
"Why don't you wear the # you had in NE that you had soo much success in. I'm telling you dude, you change your #, it's bad juju..


Cassel: "with all do respect bro, I can't give it to you."
Todd Haley who happens to have been ease dropping on the two from 10 yards away turns, and says "FU#KIN Throw for it!!!!

Jimmy smiles, and Matt takes his jersey off, and sighs.

Wherever Clausen lands, I hope he's mature enough and intelligent enough not to give a shit about the number he wears and more about how many touchdowns he throws.

You'd need CIA cryptography experts to try and dig the truth out of anything Pioli says for the next two months.
