OK..Same deal, but with any other QB except for Geno...basically what I'm saying is, would all of you still be bitching if we had took a QB at 1.1, no matter who it was.

I think everyone would bitch, write letters, etc. if the Chiefs had selected Landry Jones at 1.1.


Does that help answer your question?

No, I would bitch if Collin Klein was taken #1.

HAHA, my example sucks worse than yours :D

There were a few QB's who I really didn't want; Nassib, Landry Jones, Mike Glennon. Drafting any of those @ 1.1 would've had me bitching, yes.

Geno Smith was the only QB I thought was worth 1.1

In the end, I like Tyler Bray for free.

In the end if appears the concensus in NFL circles was Geno and Manuel were the top 2 guys by a significant margin. Reid/Dorsey make millions per year to get it right and they have much more access to inside stuff than we do. I'd defer to them on which one to pick, but it looks like they should have taken one of them.

But yeah, it would be nice a nice turn of events if this franchise backed ass into a Franchise QB in Bray. We are due for a break at that position.

It was definitely the best deal.

Ok..I just wanted to make sure you weren't wanting to draft a QB just because of our given history.

I can't speak for everyone, but like I've stated in multiple threads... most Geno supporters here just wanted this franchise to draft and develop a worthy QB. This does not mean throw him to the wolves week 1. Alex Smith is an excellent stop-gap (an expensive one for x2 2nd rounders, but seems worth it at this point). But when Alex is done in KC, having a groomed QB step up and take over would be nice instead of yet again trading for some other teams QB that they want to get rid of because they don't have what it takes to be explosive.

You mean the history of not having a franchise QB? Well yeah that sort of figures in. It also figures in that your alternatives are a bunch of projects. There wasn't a big time player like Von Miller, Calvin Johnson, or Suh as an alternative. There are a lot of factors.

I totally agree, especially with the stop-gap theory...hopefully, we backed into our QBOTF with BRAY

I can agree to this.

Yup. There were no Can't miss prospects in the 2013 draft, which is why the Chiefs should have gone with the best QB prospect (considering it is the most important position in sports). This was the year to "take that risk".

Good thing we selected a project RT, because that isn't risky at all.

If we had drafted Bray first overall, people would be happier than they are now.
