QB Future in KC

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Simple question. We all see there are flaws with this team. But the primary one is the most important position, quarterback. So with that in mind, of the options below, what do you hope to see happen this offseason with the QB position in Kansas City?

[New World Order]

Hit the road Alex

[RunKC]

Cowboys have a good mobile QB and outstanding OL to help him. I want us to go this route.

This team has plenty of talent for a young gun

[Chiefs Pantalones]

It's not that easy. We, as well as most of the league, are in QB purgatory.

We're fucked.

[GloryDayz]

Don't know, but we need to try and find one...

[PutQuinnIn]

So is Nick Foles gone, $10.4 million option to resign him next season.

[oaklandhater]

Trade for romo is our best chance draft is suppose to be pretty terrible for QB's next year.

[Beef Supreme]

Anything but option D.

[Coochie liquor]

I'm a dumb ass and put what I think will happen (stay the course with Alex) not what I hope they do (draft a future HOF qb)

[petegz28]

So the consensus thus far is to trade for an injury prone QB that hasn't won anything. Yeah, I've never seen that movie before.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

We are drafting a QBOTF in 2017 but he'll be a dark horse in a later round. Dorsey is undoubtedly loading up on defense with our early picks.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I went with draft and start immediately just because I want to finally have our own guy... but if they went with Romo, I wouldn't be mad as long as they had drafted a kid too...

[Hydrae]

C/D - Draft and develop a top round draft pick behind Alex.

[PutQuinnIn]

Scott Pioli way, make a deal for the Patriots backup QB.

[Rasputin]

Tony Romo shouldn't even be an option in the poll how fucking retart.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Trade for romo is our best chance draft is suppose to be pretty terrible for QB's next year.

I didn't even know who Wentz was this time last year and I didn't think Dak would be a starter. Hard to say if a class is good or not right now

[stumppy]

Draft one, invest in one who's not a damn long shot to begin with.

[Rain Man]

So the consensus thus far is to trade for an injury prone QB that hasn't won anything. Yeah, I've never seen that movie before.

[Easy 6]

Draft a QB high, start Foles until he is ready

[RunKC]

Who the **** cares anymore. People always say this shit. Scouts didn't love Carr, Wilson or Prescott but here we ****ing are.

If a rookie is mobile and doesn't turn the ball over then that's Alex Smith at 3% of the price tag. I'd gladly take that from a rookie.

that alone will helps us so much with the cap

[Rasputin]

I feel like neg repping anyone who votes to sign or trade for Tony Romo. Same with anyone who wants to keep Alex Smith.

Fuck any used up throw away quarterback from other teams.

[GloryDayz]

Fuck sticking the course with Alex. I'm not sure what the Chiefs see in him Monday-Saturday, but he's more AIDS than cure on Sundays.

[GloryDayz]

I feel like neg repping anyone who votes to sign or trade for Tony Romo. Same with anyone who wants to keep Alex Smith.

Yeah, like the Chiefs are going to draft and start a QB. Our people can't find a Brady or Went, they just aren't smart enough.

[Rasputin]

Let Tony Romo sign with Denver and let him get his neck broke there. He ain't worth it.




Chiefs fans just don't fucking learn.

[Spott]

They will never draft a QB, so it's all moot.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Hate it to break it to you folks but Smith is with the team through next year. Either buckle up and try to enjoy the ride or stop watching

[GloryDayz]

Let Tony Romo sign with Denver and let him get his neck broke there. He ain't worth it.

It would be a protest hire!

Don't worry, Romo would pull a Manning and tell Clark/the Chiefs, "Don't call me, I'll call you" (then go to Denver), you'll be fine there. As for not playing Alex FUCKING Smith, she's their girl, so he'll be here a LOT longer.

[GloryDayz]

Hate it to break it to you folks but Smith is with the team through next year. Either buckle up and try to enjoy the ride or stop watching

I agree. The Hunts have been doing this for generations.

[CaliforniaChief]

For the love of God please stop thinking a 5th or 6th round QB is going to magically roll into town and lead us to glory.

We had our chances to get guys and never did it.

Go out and spend a 1st round pick on an elite guy if he's out there. It's legitimately the ONE thing we don't have.

[NWTF]

Draft and develop QB. Smith can be the caretaker.

Trading for Smith was fine, maybe even smart just to get back to a comfortable level of competence at the position that can hold the fort down, but to make him your QB of the future and attempt to build a team around him that can win it all is a long shot plan due to the limitations at the QB position itself. You also have to be better than most of the league at drafting and developing most other positions to make up for your deficiency at the most important position.

Yes it can be done, but so many things have to go just right for it to work starting with a top 5 Defense minimum. Theres basically no margin for error.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

It saves over 9 million IIRC to cut Alex after this year. I don't think his roster spot is safe by any means.

I hope by some miracle he and the offense find a groove to finish the year, but regardless it's not enough going forward.

[chefs fan in omaha]

Anyone who thinks Tony Room is anything but a walking handicap sticker is nuts.

[Beef Supreme]

Anyone who thinks Tony Room is anything but a walking handicap sticker is nuts.

He is practically a cripple. Still rather take the chance than watch another Alex Smith checkdown.

[kcchiefsus]

Trade for romo is our best chance draft is suppose to be pretty terrible for QB's next year.

Great, another fucking retread.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Shouldn't be too hard on people wanting Romo. This franchise sure as hell isn't drafting a QB so what the fuck do you expect.

[notorious]

Shouldn't be too hard on people wanting Romo. This franchise sure as hell isn't drafting a QB so what the **** do you expect.

Bingo

[alpha_omega]

Well, I'd take the gaz option (if there was one) over anything involving Romo.

[RunKC]

A rookie QB doing Alex's job in this offense isn't really that hard. You're telling me Kaaya, Kizer, Trubisky or Watson can't hand the ball off, throw sideways, run or just not turn it over?

Come on now

[Chief Roundup]

Some of you all need to forget about Romo it is clouding your abilities.
We need to draft a good one and let him set behind Smith. There is no real way to get away from Smith and his cap numbers.

[NWTF]

Thats my choice but the OP didnt put that option in

[The Franchise]

Fucking kill yourself.

[srvy]

I dont believe Romo can survive a regular season and I believe the cap hit from what I have read here is decapitating to signing free agents that could help. So hang onto Alex and Foles and let them fight it out and draft the highest rated QB available and if could trade up.

[dannybcaitlyn]

I prefer to dump AS ASAP. He's regressing at rapid pace.

[PutQuinnIn]

President Trump will have served half of his term in office by the time Mr. Smith's time in KC is up.

[GloryDayz]

Maybe some of the Anti Romo (for a year) are saying they want Alex forever. Look friends, if the Chefs aren't willing to do something wild, they are going to stay the current course, and that's Alex Smith. There's no middle ground with these assholes, so Romo for a year would be a statement, not doing something that dramatic is basically telling us all to hunker down for at least a few more years of Alex FUCKING Smith.

I want a sign that they won't accept the current are show a willingness to give change a chance.

[dj56dt58]

I went with draft/Romo

I would rather draft high and start but KC wont do that. at least with Romo we have a big name that might get us some calls and isnt afraid to take shots downfield. Plus when he does get hurt (not if but when), we have a possible qbotf to take over

[Iconic]

Honestly this is a good point. If he keeps playing like this he won't offer us anything an average rookie QB can't. Find a guy who's less turnover prone and boom. No real loss in productivity and a better cap number to keep Poe and Berry.

[TribalElder]

Should have sucked for luck

Back when we had a shot

[In58men]

Chiefs get 1st pick and there's no QB worth taking. We draft fullback.

[Rain Man]

Should have sucked for luck

Back when we had a shot

Suck for Luck would have gotten a Luck who Sucked.

[GloryDayz]

We need to suck for Lock!

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Cutting Alex and gaining over $9M in cap space while leaving around $7M in dead money is better than keeping him and starting him in his current state.

Yeah, we'd have some dead money, but we'd have a lot more money to spend and as has been mentioned, there are rookies who can do more than he's doing.

[Chief Roundup]

Suck for Luck would have gotten a Luck who Sucked.

This

[pugsnotdrugs19]

FYI, cutting Alex after this year and voiding Foles contract saves near $20 million to our cap.

Sounds pretty appetizing at the moment.

[DaFace]

Your options suck. I vote for draft a QB early, but stick with Alex until we have an alternative.

Romo is broken and would cost WAY too much.

[Tombstone RJ]

Sign Smith to another super long term contract. Make him the highest paid QB in the league.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I didn't make an option for drafting a QB and keeping Alex because that seems stupid to me.

The Alex we have seen as of late is no better than the rookies coming into the league recently. If Alex finds himself and the offense finishes much stronger? Ok, I'd consider, but right now, no.

[GloucesterChief]

Luke Falk if he comes out this year. He practically runs Andy's offense anyway plus he is more likely to audible to run.

[BossChief]

If healthy, Tony Romo would be the best QB the Chiefs have fielded in my lifetime AND he's proven that he's a great teammate.

Cutting/trading Alex and Nick would create the nessesary cap space to make the move, too.

Here's where it gets dicey.

It's gonna take a first rounder to trade for Romo..at least I presume that's his value, even at his age and health.

His remaining contract is managable...Dallas would need to eat the dead money so KC would be on the hook for

14.5m
19.5m
20.5m

The guaranteed $ is gone.

Cutting Foles and Alex clears 20m in cap space.

The tough part is how do we draft a QB in the first if we traded a first for Romo?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Saw this morning on a pregame show where they said it was expected they could only get mid-round compensation for Romo. Even a 5th rounder was suggested.

No team will be desperate enough to trade a high pick for a guy coming off major surgeries, of that age. Considering his cap hit, Dallas would be lucky to get a 3rd imo.

[srvy]

Your options suck. I vote for draft a QB early, but stick with Alex until we have an alternative.

Romo is broken and would cost WAY too much.

Agreed and Romo for a season would rapidly turn into Romo out for season.

[GloryDayz]

Agreed and Romo for a season would rapidly turn into Romo out for season.

Our O-line has done an OK job keeping Alex Smith on the field, I'm sure Romo would enjoy the same protection.

[Rain Man]

I'd trade a 4th or 5th for Romo so fast that it would create a dust devil.

[srvy]

Our O-line has done an OK job keeping Alex Smith on the field, I'm sure Romo would enjoy the same protection.

True but Alex doesn't have a clavicle held together with garden twine. Dallas easily have a better O line than KC. Maybe the best in the league.

[GloryDayz]

I don't think Alex has clavicles. They probably removed them when they removed his balls.

[srvy]

Besides Romo isnt going to give KC an interview he is big media and will go to Denver where the media will stroke his dick properly like they did in Dallas.

[GloryDayz]

Besides Romo isnt going to give KC an interview he is big media and will go to Denver where the media will stroke his dick properly like they did in Dallas.

So true...

[DaneMcCloud]

Romo would literally die behind the Chiefs line

[KChiefs1]

Cowboys have a good mobile QB and outstanding OL to help him. I want us to go this route.

This team has plenty of talent for a young gun



Agreed

[Discuss Thrower]

The Chiefs are fucked in both the long and short term.

Romo isn't good enough to win with this team. Any QB they take in the draft won't be good enough to win with the team until 3-4 years down the line.

They're stuck in the same purgatory they've been in since Carl took over in the '80s. Not bad enough to take a top QB prospect and let them develop because of the talent under contract over the next three-to-four seasons and not good enough for a few key signings to push them over the top.

[In58men]

2-14 doesn't get you to the Superbowl and neither does what we're doing now.

[In58men]

2-14 doesn't get you to the Superbowl and neither does what we're doing now.

But he gets us "close" to playoffs. We'll take that all day fam.

[Hoover]

Why in the world would we trsfe for Romo, I'd rather stick with Alex or Foles.

I think the main problem with this team is our running game isn't what it needs to be, which frankly is cause by poor play calling.

[kc79]

Luke Falk if he comes out this year. He practically runs Andy's offense anyway plus he is more likely to audible to run.

Thats the QB I want. Hope Dorsey and Andy want him as well

Niners draft Falk, beats Alex Smith and the Chiefs are eliminated from playoffs. Mark it down.

The Cowboys endured a losing season to get them there as well. They have Dak and Elliot because of it. We will finish well enough not to be in the position to get a change like that.

[Chief Northman]

Absolute shit sandwich in the draft this year at the qb position.

2018 draft however.....

[farmerchief]

They drafted Dak in the 4th round, we had plenty of picks to get that accomplished, if we wanted him.

[RealSNR]

Why can't we just draft a QB and roll with Alex/Foles until the guy is ready, whether that's an immediate start or not?

[JD10367]

If Bill Parcells was still coaching, he'd call Alex Smith a "hold the fort" QB. That horrible endzone pick cost you the game. With rookie QBs having so much success across the board this season, it never ceases to amaze me how many teams continue to try to polish a turd into a mediocre QB, or coach up a mediocre QB into a solid but unimpressive QB, or go out and get a solid but unimpressive QB who will never break through the plane and become a great QB. Alex Smith is that last one. Looks good most of the time, just good enough to have a decent TD/INT ratio, QB rating hangs out in the high 90s, but never makes you go, "Wow, that's a guy who can win a Super Bowl for us."

[Dayze]

QBs like Alex are the safe play and keep coaches from getting fired.

Fat Andy isn't hitching his job to a rookie. He wants the path of least resistance to try to win a Championship. It's just too bad that nearly everyone in KC realizes that's never going to happen.

Combine that with the fact that regardless of whomever we would bring in via trade, draft, or FA.....Fat Andy is still the running the offense and calling the plays and you'll never win a championship with that simple and predictable offense.

[GloryDayz]

Different as in go back to 2-14?

Perhaps next year 2-14 makes sense so we can get Drew Lock. If not, we could sell the farm and get get Wentz for next season.

It's not like we've shown a propensity to so much as keep a Gannon when they have him.

But all of this pre-dates Reid, so it doesn't count. And once Reid is replaced, the past will be the past. It's the Hunt family motto.

[FloridaMan88]

Most realistic although certainly not the most satisfying option is to go with Nick Foles if the Chiefs decide to move on from Alex Smith.

Nick Foles as the starter and Jay Cutler as the veteran back-up acquisition would be a QB depth chart only Carl Peterson would love, but I could unfortunately see that happening in 2017.

[RippedmyFlesh]

I would start cutler over foles.

[Red Dawg]

Dorsey can't bring Alex back next year. He just can't be that stupid. The man came from Green Bay, a place that's been QB heaven for over 20 years. How the hell can he sell us on another Smith season? Alex looks like he's lost his desire and guts. I really get the impression from watching him that he's just trying to get through the season and get the hell outta there. If Denver gives him a concussion I think he's done.

The choice is obvious to gives Foles next season and see how it goes with him. Then take a chance and draft a real prospect. Not a fifth rounder but a real prospect at QB in the earlier rounds.

This is the most realistic scenario, which is just sad. We are locked back in the 90s, good team with average (at best) QB play.

I still can't figure out why Alex isn't running this season. Even before the Geathers family tradition of hitting Chiefs QBs in the head, Alex wasn't running, and that was what took from him below average to above average. It seems like they made a conscious decision this year to turn him into a pocket quarterback, which has been a disaster.

[Easy 6]

FYP... we've seen enough of Smiff

[TinyEvel]

When Dorsey gave Alex that contract extension was Alex playing particularly well? This franchise always seems a year or two late to realize the problems. Hopefully they man up after this year.

[ChiefsCountry]

2-14 doesn't get you to the Superbowl and neither does what we're doing now.

It leads you to the top of the draft where the best quarterbacks are usually selected.

[RunKC]

Great post. It is about job security when you roll with the retread vets.

Andy drafted a rookie QB in Philly when he just became a HC. Then he drafted another one high when his first one was in the tail end of his career. Then he drafted another one high (and wanted Wilson) when Vick was near the end.


Andy's history says he isn't afraid to draft someone.

True but the Eagles didnt endure a SOC movement. Not sure if Clark wants to risk round 2 if a young guy fails and ASS11 seems to have some insecurity issues that may have prevented drafting a round 1 guy.

Nothing at all.

[Mr. Laz]

I haven't seen ANYTHING from Reid to indicate he wants to develop a young QB.

If he isn't going to put the work in then drafting a young QB won't do anything other than waste a draft pick. A team must be ALL IN on making it work with a QB draftee.
