For example:
Seattle picked up Hasselbeck from GB (went to a SB)
Raiders picked up Gannon from KC (went to a SB)
Chargers picked up Humphries from WAS (went to a SB)
The list goes on and on...
Would that be acceptable?
Would a 9-7 record next year make you happy?

As to the quarterback situation, I think Bob Uecker said it best. "If you're gonna hit a dinger, you gotta be a swinger." I like Geno, but will be comfortable with their decision. I just want to see e serious attempt to draft and develop a QB. No retreads.

As to the quoted poster.

I'm sure that in real life you a fine, upstanding, honest, kind, decent, all-around genuine nice guy. I'm sure you have many friends, associates and aquaintences that will agree with me. I am also sure you are kind to your mother.

From where I'm sitting, it sure smells like you and BlackBob at the very least use the same aftershave.

I will share with you some of what I know about SAUTO in real life.

My first contact with him was here at CP when I finished "following the manual" shadetreeing my way through putting new head gaskets on my truck. It wouldn't start. He told me OVER THE PHONE how to fix it. I learned many things about him that day. One of which is not only can he follow the manual, he can write one that's easier to understand than the one I had that was published by the vehicle manufacturer.

I met him in person the first time when one minor little detail I overlooked when I finished the head gasket job cost me a ride in the towtruck to his shop. Two mechanic shops in town on the way to his sat empty. Not a car at the place. SAUTO's place was surrounded by cars for two or three blocks. Both lifts full and nothing but assholes and elbows. I knew I was at the right place.

He has several certs on his wall as well as the usual business stuff everybody has up there. The two reasons I can't tell you exactly what they are, are, ignorance and apathy.

I am not comfortable divulging personal info about another person. I suppose I can offer a personal opinion.SAUTO is easily one of the finest people I have ever met. There are many reasons I feel that way. One stands above all others. He has taken on a responsibility that very few have the strength or resolve to comprehend, let alone square their shoulders and do a commendable job.

As far as Tuesday at his shop, my advice is don't go. I have met MOHillbilly as well as SAUTO. My feeling is I would hate to upset either one of them. If you do meet SAUTO, show up empty handed. Anything you bring can and most likely will be put somewhere it will not fit.

**** no.

Why the **** should we bother trying to develop another team's backup from a later round when we have a first round talent RIGHT THERE where we pick?

There's a reason why Kirk Cousins got picked in the 4th round. There's a reason why Matt Cassel got picked in the 7th. There's a reason why Schaub got picked in the 4th. And if they were Tom Bradys or Tony Romos, teams wouldn't both trading the away, would they?

Geno Smith is more talented than anything the current NFL backups could offer us. There is no other acceptable course of action unless Reid is DEAD SURE the guy he trades for is brilliant.

It's not blackbob. Before the thread got derailed from mechanic talk, he said smarter things than blackbob ever did. Even when he's wrong, Exhorter just comes across much more intelligent than blackbob. They don't have very similar posting styles. They're just not the same dude.

I’m trying to gauge how fed up everyone is and what amount of trust will be allotted to the Walrus over the next few years.

Would you have expected either the Skins or Colts to get to the playoffs this year with Geno?

So many questions...

maybe we can get the first annual Chiefsplanetmania I going where it will be a 20 member lumberjack match against you. Because it sure seems that's where it is headed as you continue to hand out internet threats like jellybeans

They expect him to do more as a 2nd round talent, but ignore the fact that he's the 2nd or 3rd highest offensive produce on our team.LMAO

If our QB is still floundering after year 2, I'm ready to move on at the next opportunity to draft a starter. It might take 2 or 3 cycles to find the right guy. I'm patient enough for that.
