Agreed. I would prefer Sanchez over Stafford. But if by chance those guys are off the board, don't reach and take someone who isn't 3rd pick quality.

Brady sure was thought to be a franchise, superstar star Qb being taken in the 6th round. :banghead:

I only threw out Manning and Brady....because those are the only QBs that people know. I'd be perfectly happy with Cutler, Big Ben, Baby Manning or Brees.

It sounded to me like Pioli already had his eyes, if not his heart, set on someone at QB. If that's the case, I suspect we are already in a position to succeed.

I think the experience and the offseason as a starter would help him immensely.

What's this "we all know shit"? What do you do when you "assume"? Quite so.

Exactly.

Naaailed it! If we assume Pioli's going to pull the trigger in the first-round, that look on his face when he made that comment leaves NO question in my mind as to who he was thinking of.
I've seen that look before. It's a part of the reaction one has when watching Mark Sanchez play a great game for the first time.

I preface this by saying I will support whatever Pioli's decision is with the #3 pick. But Mark Sanchez? Really? You are that sold on the guy after he starts for one season at USC? I would say that is putting an awful lot of stock in a very small sample. If the Chiefs were drafting somewhere in the 12-20 range in the first round I would say drafting Sanchez makes more sense. But, dumping $50+ million into a guy with one season of college starts under his belt seems like a very high risk, possibly high reward situation.

I await your tantrum Mecca, DCS and the rest of the Sanchez Kool-Aid drinkers. :D

Unless QB is the BAP. Then or if its very close pull the trigger. Otherwise I say trade down.

Is stupid

Explain to me the difference between a one year college starter, and a two to three year college starter who are going to spend their first year in the NFL holding a clipboard on the sideline?

Does the three year guy hold the advantage because he played more college ball, or is the slate wiped clean when both begin their Professional Internship?

The latter is the correct answer.

So now we're looking at skill set in an attempt to evaluate who's got better tools, and who has the greatest potential.
To that end, there are two QB's in this draft that fit the bill. And though I have preference, I will be happy to see the Chiefs acquire either one.

No tantrum, no kool-aid, just infallible logic. We do so hope you will be wise enough to listen and learn.

I don't really want Cassel here in KC.

But a guy taken with the 230th pick that steps in for an injured Hall Of Famer and leads the team to 11-5 is a good pick, even if he's a bust for the rest of his career.

One 11-5 season coming off the bench is a fine accomplishment for the 230th pick. Even if he never does anything again.
