This is spot on. Matt Cassel makes this a fail.

Problem with that assessment is that outside of Peyton, there were no good FA QBs to be had. There never are. No one knows why Peyton did not choose us. It might be because of Pioli or it could be something totally different. We will have to draft Cassel's replacement and we blew a shot at it this year, so hopefully we won't make the same mistake next year.

Peyton has nothing left to prove. I wouldn't care about winning either. I'd want to go somewhere where I'd enjoy ending my career.

Generally speaking, if you're looking for your QB in free agency, then you're looking in the wrong place.

Pioli has done a good job in filling holes in this free agency period.

He has to prove that he's not a playoff choker.

He has a SB ring....

If Manning thinks the same as you, he's an idiot too.

His legacy will be that he's a great regular season QB who choked too often in the playoffs.

If he thinks he has nothing to prove, he's wrong.

His brother's legacy will be greater.

:LOL:

Nothing matters if the Chiefs don't have a QB.

The front office's arrogance lost them the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. And the Chiefs could have cut Cassel and kept Orton for the same exact price.

The QB decision is critical. And they ****ed it up big time. They promised us competition for Cassel. Instead, they got us a backup.

That decision alone turns it from an A- to a D.

No. Signing a RT, a backup TE, and a backup FB doesn't mean shit without a QB. Nothing will make up for not even getting a visit by Manning, nothing.

Manning chose not to come here, despite the efforts of our GM and owner. Maybe we have a history of suckiness and cheapness, but that is hard to blame at the feet of the FA period this year, considering it just started.

Orton got a fat deal from Chicago ( $5 mil this year ). That's overpaying for a backup who was marginally better than Cassel.

Who else is available for competition? There just aren't enough good QBs to go around in the NFL; it's not like we missed some great chance at improving our QB position.

And besides, we have the draft and our draft-pick from last year for this.

I don't like the QB situation anymore than anyone else, but there aren't better alternatives just sitting out there, unless you want to roll the dice on Flynn.

Your right becuase you know more than these guys who seem to think we have had the best free agent acquisitions

Wanted Soliai, but if we can pair Wimbley with Tamba, it's an A+.

sticking with Cassel has ruined everything he's done.
