Well, with Vick it is easy. he has a cannon, and they had Djax, and maclin to go deep. With Foles at that point, he knew he was done in PHILLY in my opinion, so he just kinda figured eff it. Shrugs. I took the way he handled foles as a big eff you to the philly brass. Because he tried really hard to stand by Vick, and they wanted Foles.

That mirrors my own expectations.

However, as for your expectations re: the pistol, I think the pistol's a gimmick that's going to have a very short shelf life in the NFL. It's the new Wildcat.

Lol I could give a **** about Geno. What I'm talking about is bigger than one player, or one draft. I'm talking about an overall philosophy that is on the scale of years and decades. This conservative, me too bullshit the Chiefs have been doing is not getting them anywhere. They need to learn to innovate, and take risks when they are acceptable. The problem however, I believe is systematic, and is traceable up to and including ownership and the fans. Until the days of going 9-7 and then taking a huge money shot in the face that a blue balled team has been storing up for weeks in a playoff game and ending the Chiefs' season are unacceptable, UNACCEPTABLE, then this 40+ year drought will continue.

I will also offer you a plea bargain.

But you won't like it.

We're going to find out just how much you like posting lies about Alex Smith here....what are you willing to do to retain the privilege? How far will you go?

My guess is you will just run and hide in shame.

No, I don't hope the 49ers lose. They can win with Colt McCoy for all I give a shit. I just don't like Kaepernick. Ill still begrudgingly be rooting for them. You wont see me with a Kaepernick jersey on though.

Yes, and like I said, I hope he does.

But if he will do it now, why didn't he do it before?

I don't think coaches change their stripes. I think they are who they are. Now, I don't think he's going to ask Smith to chuck it downfield a ton, but he needs to run the same offense that was successful early in his career in Philly.

:thumb:

Vick isn't a QB who can really make more than one read and actually read a defense.

He would have been well suited to run the pistol actually.

Sorry, I just don't see much difference in you and GoCHiefs then.

You hope your QB will fail because you don't like him, he hopes his QB will fail because he doesnt' like him.

Nope. No plea bargains for me, no mults. One, because first and foremost, im a man of my word. And second, I wont need any. You can have your get out of jail free card. I don't really care.....I just understand what is happening here. I also know the kind of fighter alex smith is.

I can understand that. Loyalty just runs deep for me. Come week one, ill be cheering for the 49ers. I don't have to personally like Kaep, or hope he succeeds. Im conflicted. Biting my nose to spite my face lol. Its complicated.

Well... Reid is a West Coast Offense guy. But look at what he's doing.

He brought in Alex Smith and Chase Daniel and wasted no expense to get these guys. Both these guys are ideal for a more read option oriented offense. He brought in Chris Ault to coach the pistol and Brad Childress, whose only job is to consult on the spread.

I don't know how much of a spread or pistol he will run. But it seems like he's sending a pretty clear signal that he's planning to change his stripes, and it seems like he picked a QB to run his new offense (versus picking an offense that can be run by his new QB).

Doesn't hoping your QB doesn't succeed, make it likely your team won't succeed?

I'm not all up to date on everything Reid did X's and O's wise every season in Philly.

He was a pretty good coach prior to his boys having personal issues the last few years. Maybe the change in cities will be a good thing in more ways than on for Reid. I'm thinking it will be.

I definitely agree with this, all of these flashy schemes are eventually figured out and you have to get back to bread and butter football.
