Bingo. They run the ball, play good d, and tell the qb not to **** up too bad. Remind you of anything?

Ive said this the last few times Ive chosen to respond to the possibility.

For NE to want to trade Mallett, they would have to be getting a premium on the pick they used to select him...at least a full round higher and then some.

OR

They would also have to look at him as a guy they can live without in the future and a guy that has problems as anticipated.

Now, onto us...

During the draft, we didnt feel he was worth even a third rounder....so, something would have to have changed between now and the time of the previous draft that made him worth a lot more to us.

I would have to believe that if NE thinks highly of Mallett, they would have to be demanding a early second rounder at worst and a mid to late first at best and I dont think that would be worth it.

Ryan has a big timer arm ( I honestly don't think its head and shoulders higher than Stanzis, though), but doesn't do very well under pressure, isn't exceptionally accurate, is a Statue of Bledsoe back there and has real questions about a serious drug problem that may or may not exist.

For me, Id rather make a move for one of the kids in this upcoming draft and make a ****ing statement that "you are our kid and we are gonna develop you into a great quarterback"

IMO a trade for Mallett would be only slightly better than trading for Cassel.

We need OUR OWN KID, NOT SOMEBODY ELSES FOR THE NEXT GO AROUND, PLEASE!!!!

PLEASE!!!!

I think they are a dangerous team. I could be very wrong, but I think their coaching takes them far.

I agree with you man about the guys we have on offense. We have the weapons to have a top 10 offense. We just don't have the qb and that's really all that matters.

If a QB is all that matters then the 08 Pats would have lost every single game because they had the same guy under center that we have now.

Man not to be blunt, but the Stanzi thing is getting a little to crazy. His arm is not close to Malletts. I also want our own, but there's no way we trade up to get one of the ones in this years draft.

I thought he was pretty accurate in college. Not arguing with you just thought he was.

I'd rather go with Stanzi than Mallett

To drive home my point that you can't beat great teams very often without a great qb, look at the Pats schedule that year and who they beat. It's very Chiefs 2010 esque.

Id also rather go with Stanzi than all but 3 (maybe 4) of the quarterbacks in this upcoming class.

I'd atleast like to see him play a little this year.


If we compete for the rest of the year and win 7-9 games with the injuries we have had this year, I think it would be a mistake not to push in the chips and try and get one of the top prospects in this years class.

there are very few of us that wouldn't.

Doubt it happens this year unless Cassel gets hurt.

The more I see of Luck and Barkley, the more I think trading up to get one of them would be worth it.

Having a legit franchise guy IMO would be worth more than the production you would get out of the picks you gave up.

They beat 5 teams that were .500 or higher. Even if it's not the toughest schedule how confident would you be if Haley were your HC in that situation. I'd have thrown in the towel the second I saw Brady go down. Haley is just an average HC. If he knew what he was doing he wouldn't have made Bill ****ing Muir our OC...

What gem did you have in mind for Battle

Id give up a whole draft for either one of them...even though Barkley can be a bit of Jeykl and Hyde.

It would be the most exciting moment in the history of sports, for me.

Shit, Im honestly already prepared for us to eventually take one and also prepared for him to be a bust.

Id be totally fine with that as long as they tried again....and again....and again

I know some here are adamantly against it but I would give up a whole draft as well. Prob gonna take more than that, but I would call up the Gm of the team with the number one pick and open the pocketbook.

Might get some flack for this but I don't give a **** really.


If Charles, Berry, and Moeaki were healthy this year and we had a Matt Ryan esq qb we could compete for the AFC title. I think with a legit qb we are that close.

Thats why I'll argue with anyone that if it were me I'd go get Luck.

Bro, the Luck dream is over.

NO WAY its gonna happen.

If we are gonna have a legit discussion about trading up for a QB, we should be talking about Barkley.

If I'm the Chiefs GM, which some of you will surely say thank the lord you aren't, this is my offseason.


Free Agency:
Resign Bowe and Carr, Try and sign Grubbs from Baltimore to play LG and let Hudson play C, Michael Griffen or LaRon Landry are S free agents if you aren't sold on Lewis.

If Berry is healthy he is athletic enough to play either S position if you brought in one or the other from that list.

Hell Finley from GB is a FA after this year, although likely to get resigned by the Pack I'd throw money at him. He's gonna be a star.


Draft: Figure out which qb I liked the best and go get him.

Likely it is. I'm not giving up tho. I'm not sold INDy is drafting him if they get the first pick.

Right... see Josh McDaniels with the Rams in 2011... Oh wait, this anecdotal evidence doesn't support your theory. Seriously, the evidence suggests that the franchise QB is more important than coaching. Quit talking out of your asshole please and thanks.

The Packers won last year because of one thing, and they are winning this year because of that same thing.

Aaron Rodgers.

The Packer D this year is giving up a shit ton of points, but Rodgers keeps putting up more.

Alex Smith is not going to get a team to the SB.

As Hamas stated, these 9ers are the 90s Chiefs.

Cincy hasn't beaten anyone, Philly is a 3-5 team.

Tampa might be good, but they also got their shit stomped in by Chicago, was it?

And we really don't know for sure what the Lions are either.

For now, you can't really point to any one of those teams as some kind of measure of the 9ers greatness.

As usual, IMO, nice take Milkman.

We need to give every opponent's TE the same treatment we gave Gates, no matter who they are. Otherwise pieces of shit like Anthony Fasano will continue to rape us.

I'll completely disagree about that. The Bears beat the Bucs in London by 6 I think.

They won 3 out of those 4 games on the road. Traveling to the East Coast and winning every single road game on your schedule is impressive.

Going on the road to the east coast and winning multiple games is big. The 49ers might not win the Super Bowl, but it's pretty amazing what a new coach can do.

Pretty amazing job Harbaugh has done so far, and just shows how bad Singletary was because they are basically the same team.

But ive got to agree, no way in hell Alex Smith carries a team to a SB. Not a playmaker.

That team is 30th in passing. LOL

They are basically last year's Chiefs with a better defense.

We don't have a HC problem. We have a HC handcuffed with a mediocre QB problem. This one is on Pioli, not Haley.

Agreed. But our RT need is only second in a photo finish.

I'm not impressed by Foles. Believe me I have tried to be impressed by him. Landry Jones has impressed me enough every time I had a chance to see him, which is not many.

The best point of the thread.

WTF?!!!:LOL:

but we have to see Stanzi play first. He is inactive every week. What's up with that? We have T-Jones, O'Connel, and Piss-the-belly taking up room on the roster and we can't dress up Stanzi to at least send him in late in a ranaway game?!
Most years I would disagree with this. But we may have enough starting talent in place that going that aggressively after someone like Luck may be warranted. I just wish he wasn't such a mucus machine! ;) I'd just keep my fingers crossed that Gaither would get healthy enough to topple Richardson, Houston would provide the complimentary pass rush, and/or I could get some FAs signed at S, RT, OLB.
I like Barkley a lot too, but I wouldn't do an entire draft on him.

I've seen Landry Jones 3 times this year, and one other time last year, and I have been highly unimpressed with him.

Foles has a slow release, but a good QB coach can work out a couple of mechanical issues which will improve the release, but I really like the competitiveness he brings.

I see Foles as the guy we can probably stand pat on and take when we pick in the first round and a guy Zorn can probably improve the most of any of these kids.

Ive watched some of this Griffin kid and he could be the real deal, too.

He is slowly creeping up my list the more he shows his ability to be a pocket type passer and not just a gimmick.

The 9ers were definitely wise to take my boy, Aldon Smth. Dude is straight up beasting as a rusher right now. 6.5 sacks through 8 games.

***BLAINE GABBERT TROLLPOST***

First of all, the the only teams you mentioned the Niners beating that even looks remotely impressive are the Lions and the Bengals, and they're playing a rookie QB. The rest have had Incredibly underwhelming season to this point. Also, the Pats won 11 games that year against a very soft schedule despite Cassel, who look ehhh with a WR corps that had been the most prolific in the history of the game just the year before. Cassel did the same there as he does here.

Hell, at least compared to the QB's from last year's draft who have played, I think only Newton and Dalton are better than Stanzi. I do though think Dalton reminds me of Stanzi.

All they had to do to "tailor" the offense to Cassel was throw out any passing play beyond 10-15yds. Not joking.

Bob Dole was as under the weather as the team was and didn't even manage to watch the entire first half. Did they ever start moving Hali around as in the previous games, or just leave him across from Long to continue to get stoned all day?

They moved him. But, if he wasn't getting Long, he was getting double-teamed on the other side. Chipped sometimes - even when he was on Long's side, now that I think on it. Their plan was to nullify Hali and they did a very good job.

That's why I don't understand Romeo's thinking very much. Anyone could see that they were dedicated to taking Hali away but Romeo didn't adjust and mix up the rush packages. I can only assume that he didn't think he could on account of our completely injury savaged secondary which was playing like those dudes standing next Custer while he was trying to surrender.

FAX THE ATTENTIVE

So the key to passing on the Chiefs is to bullseye Hali.... makes sense. I wonder if Romeo can adjust the scheme to compensate for teams doing that in the future. Granted, he is confined by the shitty safety play...

Philly is a very talented team that's difficult to play across the country.

Beating Tampa 34-0 is impressive.

Winning all your games on the road, when they've had to travel across the country for most of them is impressive.

I know, right? Why didn't he move to the other side? Or maybe he did and was just as ineffective. Miami's strengths just matched up well against our weaknesses (i.e., TE vs S).

Just wait until the NE game.Yikes!
