They are talking about this on NFL am right now.

Jamie dukes said "this is a smart and strategic move for Andy Reid to hedge his bets" "you have to love the way Alex Smith handled the situation last year"

I turned the channel in mid conversation...but Dukes was obviously talking about the Chiefs not being done at QB.

That Flacco deal is just hideous.

I would honestly rather be in the position where we are with Alex Smith and no 2nd round pick than where the Ravens are with Joe Flacco and a looming death sentence.

Well, in a vacuum. Obviously I'd rather be coming off a SB win and have to deal with Joe Flacco in 2016 than where the Chiefs are right now, but going forward, I just cannot fathom how the Ravens will do anything but suck.

Nothing they have done so far prohibits us from drafting a QB at 1.1. Chiefs will take 5 QB's to camp, I would imagine. So they still need another. Where they get it from is the unknown. The holes they are filling thru FA are positions you typically see 2nd rd picks used on. But its all just guessing and wishing

If they don't get a huge trade down offer.....it'd be the ultimate "cover your ass" move. Alex Smith sucks? You've got Geno. Alex Smith is good? You can let Geno sit for another year or you can trade Alex Smith and get a pick?

"That's a huge reason HE'S THERE and NOT SOMEONE ELSE."

I really hope they replay the segment.

It was on the "say what?" Segment.

Exactly.

So, having seen now what Reid and Dorsey have been up to, are you more willing to grant them some deference on their decision at this point?

Where I am is simple - if they stay at 1.1 and take Luke Joeckel, I'm going to set the !@#$ing building on fire. If they take Geno or execute a solid trade down, I'll defer to their experience and trust that they'll have made a good decision.

I think that's pretty fair.

If they get a sick trade offer including a first next year, then I am sadly going to be okay with taking it.

:(

Oh I'm fine with either a trade down or Geno Smith. I have been since the Alex Smith trade.

What I don't want to see is them drafting a DE/DT or an OT at 1.1. That's horrible ****ing value.

Going forward immediately, IMO.

2012 roster departures:
Ed Reed (likely)
Ray Lewis
Dannell Ellerbe
Paul Kruger
Anquan Boldin
Bryant McKinney (likely)
Bernard Pollard
Cary Williams
Bobbie Williams

2013 additons:
Chris Canty

I mean, Ozzie Newson is a geat GM.. but JFC.

Let's go. Let's get the Geno train rolling again.

And I've also stated that if they take Geno Smith at 1.1.....they have the liberty to do whatever the **** they want to do with the rest of those draft picks.

Please god let the plan be for Geno to be KC's answer to Aaron Rodgers. I don't care if he sits for two freaking years. Play him when he's ready. And it will be so glorious.

My version.

"If the team comes out and struggles early, and they could because they only won 2 games last year, Alex is the kind of guy that can handle being moved (talking about him being benched)"

"You can't play mini ball (Alex GamemanagerSmith) and be effective. That's why Harbaugh moved to Kaepernick"

There's a lot of backup guys that catch lightening in a bottle...that's what quality backups are...even Matt Cassel did that. The team he was on had 15 first round draft choices on it. When he was a free agent, NOBODY was chomping at the bit for him and the league knows what they have with him. They recognized he is at his ceiling"

After rewinding the DVD as far back as when I changed to nfln, that's all the quotes I got.

A year or two ago, some of us wanted Schwartz hard, glad to see we're getting a second chance here.
