just look at BJ Raji. One year he's good, one year he sucks. You guys spend way too much time worrying about this shit.

I must be missing all these teams that are stocked deep at every position with super stud reserves.

Don't be ridiculous. And the same people bitching about drafting a boom/bust pick like Poe are the same people bitching that we're playing it safe with other picks like depth o-linemen.

I've been as critical of anybody of Pioli not drafting a QB. I've openly said I thought Romeo and Daboll were moronic hires. I was Pioli's biggest critic for firing Haley and "Gumgate." I think Pioli is a solid GM whose arrogance has kept him from making the most crucial moves that would fix the franchise. I think it's comical that anyone who irrationally slams the Poe pick is an ass-kisser.

I'm pointing out some critical flaws that are extremely, extremely coachable. And I'm saying given his physical talents, it's worth seeing if changing those things change the player. It's no small deal that he plays with his pads low and is horrendous using his hands. You do realize that the Nose Tackle position is almost entirely about leverage and the ability to use your arms/hands to disengage blockers, right? You asked why he sucked and that's a very possible, strong explanation for it.

Maybe LB?

We have nothing behind our 4 starters. Nothing.

Safety is a given.

CB isn't nearly the strength it used to be.

We have two glass vaginas at TE.

We're super-thin at RB, not knowing how JC will bounce back.

Face it, we really don't have depth at any position beside WR - and even that is thin if we're seriously thinking of letting Bowe walk.

The problem is a disconnect.

You can not begin to grasp the argument about QB he presented as it relates to Poe.

I can't grasp it because it's an absolutely reeruned argument.

The Chiefs haven't taken a risk on a QB. Agreed. They also haven't taken a risk on a Nose Tackle. Guess what? They did. And now we're bitching about it. And it's not because we passed up taking a risk on a QB. There was no QB we should have taken given what it would have taken to get one.

Talking can is pissed about the Poe pick and he's trying to bait people into where he is because he's pissed about the QB decision and he knows that bitching about Cassel is a convenient way to throw the bait. And then he's acting like people who support the pick are somehow also supportive of the QB decision. They're two completely separate arguments. I'm okay with the Nose Tackle pick and pissed at the way they've handled the QB situation the last 4 years.
