QB question

[Luke]

I may be wrong, but have we not had qb"s who although had good publicity, yet were delegated to holding clipboards the whole season? It seems it was during the Grbac/Bono years?

My point is what happens if we draft a "quality" qb only to have him ride the pine to gain "experience"?

Didn't this happen before?

Doesn't happen in today's NFL.

Blundin was the only legitimate attempt at drafting a QB and trying to "develop" him. And even he was a stretch. I don't really recall him getting much of a chance. He was here during the Kreig/Montana/Bono years. There was no way Marty was ever going to give that guy a shot.

Then again, I think the only other team he played for was Detroit; and they never played him either. So, he sucked.

Just another in the short list of QBs the Chiefs have taken relatively early that never panned out.

You must realize I have been a Chiefs fan since SB1, I are an old fart.:D

Yea, Blundin just sort of got lost after Montana and Bono arrived. I remember he was tall and had a good arm. They also drafted Elkins in the 2nd round in 89, but i have no idea what happened to him?

Can't draft a QB. Brodie Croyle has spent his time on the bench, and now he's ready!

Matt Warewolves of Blundin

Todd Blackledge remains the greatest quarterback we've drafted since the AFL-NFL merger.

Blundin only threw 8 passes for the Chiefs. No starts.

if we drafted a QB to ride the pine behind Cassel and Quinn the Chiefs would have a Pro Bowl clipboard holder. i mean these two could teach the kid all the do's and donts of how to hold a clipboard just right.
