There is no question giving up picks will probably hurt short term but I think odds are, nearly guaranteed if you hit on the qb, you will be better quicker. I would take an average team with a very good qb over a very good roster with an average qb. I would take it without blinking.

I assume you meant average team with good QB?

Yeah.

Most of the teams in the NFL that are successful have drafted qb's either in the first or second round.

Yeah, I would too.



But I'd really like to have a great team with a great QB.


I'm not as down on Pioli as some but I'm also not as high on him as some. He's done a pretty solid job building the roster, but without the QB it might prove to be an exercise in futility.

His mistakes, or perhaps his non-hits if you will, have been magnified by not having a qb.

He has had some mistakes, but like Boss pointed out, he's actually done a great job drafting guys.

He just hasn't gotten the bus driver yet.

You know, BlackBob, as a therapist I expose denial everyday and for a moment here as I initially read your post I thought to myself, "BlackBob is not in denial he raises legit points UNTIL I was reminded who our QB is with Lewis and Hali out with Flowers and Toribio very gimpy and questionable.

Good try though man!!! For a moment there I was positive and that moment was a brief sigh of relief but then reality hit:doh!: But sincerely I thank you for that brief moment of fresh air:D

Its not just drafting guys, either.

He has done a good job getting us talent via free agency, too.

Hillis
Boss
Winston
Routt
Lilja (as a stop gap)
Weigmann (stop gap)
Breaston
Elam
Draughn
maneri
Pitoitua
Smith

I know Im missing somebody, but thats not a bad list of free agent talent he has signed.

As a Chiefs fan, we all better pray to you can add



Cassel (stop gap) to the list.



I can't for the life of me believe that Pioli, a guy who has a pretty good eye for talent, think Matt Cassel is a legit leader.

Cassel is a good leader, he just isnt a good quarterback at this level.

It's true he hasn't really passed over a ton of replacements, although there have been some. This yr won't be different if we get a low 20 s high teens pick. At some point he is going to have to force the issue

This is why people make fun of you for being a homer and a blowjob artist for Scott Pioli.

DMC is a #4 WR.

Arenas is a NCB who played 382 snaps last year.

Those guys don't play a starter's role, nor do they even have the talent to start. At any position.

Tha G.M. just can't swing and miss on a QB and HC. IMO, he's done it twice with the HC.

Some of these guys have not even played for us yet. What about depth? We are still struggling with depth despite what we went through last year. For having 4 offseasons that is nothing to brag about.

Routt? Really? You forgot to list Matt Cassel
