Who is KC's starting QB for the Oakland game? (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=265146)

Building a team around a scrap heap QB who had a good college career but like so many others could not parlay that into a starting job in the NFL does not really sound like a good plan sofar but, I digress.

Do you keep Pussholy and crennel & what round are you taking a QB?

I'll tell you right now. VY and Chris Johnson were a lethal combination in TN, going 12-6 in 2009-10 on teams that were 2-12 when VY didn't start. VY and Jamaal Charles would wreck shop. And VY has one of the best deep ball %'s in the NFL. The whole offense opens up when you put him in.

ESPN QBR for VY's final two seasons in TN:

2009

1. Peyton Manning - 82.9
2. Drew Brees - 79.7
3. Philip Rivers - 74.7
4. Vince Young - 70.3
5. Matt Schaub - 70.3
6. Aaron Rodgers - 70.2
7. Eli Manning - 69.8
8. Ben Roethlisberger - 67.3
9. Kurt Warner - 67.3
10. Brett Favre - 66.4

2010

1. Tom Brady - 76.8
2. Vince Young - 70.6
3. Matt Ryan - 69.5
4. Aaron Rodgers - 69.2
5. Peyton Manning - 68.6
6. Michael Vick - 68.0
7. Eli Manning - 65.9
8. Drew Brees - 65.3
9. Josh Freeman - 64.7
10. Ben Roethlisberger - 64.1

My God!! You have opened my eyes!! Never mind that I live outside of Nashville and saw VY's act first hand the stats just don't lie!!

VY is needs to go to the top of every QB list ever!!

We need to call in the Justice department to investigate the travesty of 32 NFL team NOT signing VY!!

I mean it can't be anything other than a conspiracy by the MAN to keep VY from starting the NFL and staking his claim as greatest QB EVER!!!!

There is not another QB out there with VY's resume who is not starting. There is no question he is more accomplished than Cassel and Quinn put together. I think bringing him in now during the bye week is a no brainer. Of course that is not taking Pioli's ego into consideration.

Cassel - 30 years old, 29-30 record, career high 93 passer rating

Quinn - 27 years old, 3-10 record, career high 67 passer rating

Vince Young - 29 years old, 31-19 record, career high 99 passer rating

You want that under center?

I'll answer with this; Doug Flutie had a winning record in Buffalo. So what?

You didn't answer. Why were they so bad without him? Same defense, same Chris Johnson, and they sucked (and still suck) without VY. Explain that.

No team has ever sucked with VY as their QB. He is worth bringing in. It's a no brainer at this point.
