I think the biggest fear from that is "respectable" turns into "medicroity". We've been down that road before finding band aid after band aid at the QB position.

When have the Chiefs ever been consistently mediocre? Mediocre is 8-8, right? When have the Chiefs put up consecutive 8-8 seasons?

I agree. I've advocated for a first round QB since the days on the KC Star Forum. I wanted Brees, I wanted them to choose someone before Green's inevitable fall, I wanted Sanchez or Clausen or anyone that wouldn't be Matt Cassel.

so when the current regime appears to try something different from that forumula it's frustrating. They better be damn sure Geno doesn't have the potential to be a top 10 QB in this league if they are going to chose a 29 year old QB with a limited ceiling and that needs a superior supporting cast to be successful.

I agree, there is some amount of risk involved by trading for Alex Smith. But knowing that the fans that purchase the tickets and jerseys and pay for parking, etc. are fed up with the pure shit that Pioli (and Herm before him) have been trotting on the field for the better part of six seasons, they've chosen to put a respectable team on the field in 2013.
Personally, I don't believe that means the Chiefs will continue to pass on first round or second QB's, at all. I just think it means that they don't want to further test fan's patience by telling them "Hey, we're going with a rookie QB this year. Hang on for the ride. Thanks for another 2-3 years of your patience".
I just don't think that was going to fly. And I truly believe that the Hunt Family were tired of the perception of their franchise in league circles. |
