If Reid and Dorsey can provide some stability and manage to right this ship, they'll draft a QB early and develop him. But you can't just take a shit franchise, draft a QB in a down year, and expect everyone to just sit around and wait for something to happen.

Look, if the Chiefs were passing on a Matt Stafford or an Andrew Luck or an RGIII or an Eli Manning or someone that nearly everyone in the known universe believes in, I'd be pissed.

But Geno Smith? Right or wrong, Geno Smith isn't going to generate fan interest, especially if, as many people have suggested, he could use a year on the bench to percolate.
Nvm, your ninja skills are too great for the gifmaster.

I would argue that Geno would generate fan interest, purely form being the 1st overall pick and the calamity that would occur as well as the (totally stereotyping here) interest black, casual fansl

I went to "scab" games.

I was there when Marty was hired, when Barry Word ran for 200 yards and Barry Sanders ran for 100 yards and flew back to see Joe Montana on Monday Night Football in 1993.

I've been to San Diego countless times, to Denver to the Meadowlands to watch Favre beat them in a game they should have won (if only DJ had made that interception) and I'm sure I'll see them time and time again, even if they suck and lose.

Seriously.

I also believe that while there's a slight chance, maybe .0000001% that would have happened, even Scott ***** was drooling over both guys last year and said something to the effect of "Draft them? I want either of them to marry my daughter!".
That't probably a bit too far for me but I have yet to procreate.

Geno doesn't even need to be part of the discussion. The problem isn't that they aren't going to select him, the problem is that they traded for Alex Smith and they're making him "the guy". Don't take a QB this year, that's fine. But don't throw the next 5 years in the crapper while you're doing it, which is what this trade does. It's not an issue with drafting a QB in 2013 with him here now, it's an issue of not drafting a QB at all until he's gone. Not in 2013, or 2014, or 2015. At least for me, the disappointment is the fact that they never learn, and make this move literally over and over and over again and then act surprised when they don't get different results.

But it's certainly indicative of the franchise. I am disappointed, but I'm not surprised in the least. And in fact, to bring the other Smith back into it, despite being one of the bigger Geno fans here, I've also said all along he'd never be drafted as a Chief.

Part of me still thinks Pioli would have traded down.

Probably due to his inability to do anything worthwhile in the 1st round sans Berry.

You also live in LA, I doubt you have season tickets.

I don't blame someone not wanting to spend thousands of dollars to take themselves and their family to games.

I will personally ahve season tickets when I finally have the DR in front of my name, (mainly so I can have a reason to come back to KC and hang out with d school guys and call it a business trip).

Now if someone wants to not watch games on TV because the team didn't do what they wanted them to do, yeah that might be a little silly. I get it, I won't do it, but I get it.

I've already addressed that topic. I would never, ever attempt to spend anyone's money for them.

That said, I drove all over this town to find a sports bar to watch the Chiefs on a 13" TV back in the 90's. I went to some incredible sports bars late in the 90's and early 2000's but was relagated to a 19" TV with a few toothless Missourians (no joke).

Fortunately, I've had Direct TV since 2003 and have spent literally tens of thousands on their service, just so I can have the Sunday Ticket and watch the Chiefs in the comfort of my own home.

The 5.1 sound and 65" LCD hasn't hurt, either.

Sure. So when someone says "I'm giving up the tickets till they do Z or X or Y" it doesn't bother me too awful much.

I like going to games, loses suck, wins are awesome.

We also have STL Cardinals season tickets and it's a whole different feelling/thought process in regards to those and a franchise that has gone above and beyond to put a winner on the field.

And as much as we would like it to be, I don't see Arrowhead ever being what it once was. With technology and the feel around town, people just don't care as much.

If they start winning consistently obviously things would change, but even then, it's getting to be non economical.

Bullshit. He was not.

He did an interview on 810 and played dumb when the host asked him to comment upon the top 2 QBs in the draft. ***** played dumb to the question, even though anyone with a hint of common sense knew whom the host was referring to.

*****: "The....top 2........QBs........???????????????????"

This mother****er was shockingly stupid and arrogant. He would not have drafted a QB. No ****ing chance. Guaranteed.

They'd go nuts if the Chiefs were 9-7 this year with home wins over the Raiders and Broncos.

For all this blathering about "Super Bowl", the numbnuts around here have seem to forgotten that Arrowhead has been a stomping ground for visiting teams for half a decade. The Raiders, of all ****ing teams, have OWNED the Chiefs at Arrowhead.

Baby steps would be nice.

BIG baby steps, but baby steps, nonetheless.

The Hunt Family has led that charge for 42 years.

For the first time since 1989, I feel like the Chiefs are in good hands.

I just hope they don't prove me wrong.

Can he? Yes. Will he? I don't know.

I assume that Reid will be a major upgrade offensively and I assume that Sutton will be a major upgrade defensively.

The roster is most definitely more talented today than in January and many of the best players can sleep easier knowing their teammates will return next years. There's definitely a level of comfort amongst guys like Charles and Albert and Moeaki, knowing that Bowe will return.

I believe the AFC will have a down year. The Raiders won't be much improved, if at all, the Chargers won't be much improved, if at all even though Denver is signing guys right and left, I doubt they'll win 13 games next season. The AFC isn't that weak.

So, 3-3 in the division at worst, then two to three others out of five at home.

If Reid and Dorsey and Sutton are what we think they are, then 8-8, 9-7 seems about right.

So do I.

But I've seen a few regime changes in my time as a Chiefs fan and I've usually been right. That doesn't mean I'm right this time but I've got a better feeling than I had with Gunther, Vermeil, Herm and especially *****/Haley.

Time will tell.

Keep in mind though that as a 12 year old, I thought that Marv Levy was going to lead the Chiefs to the playoffs. Turns out, it was one NFL team too soon.

Well let's get one thing straight: I'm not a "FAN" of these moves in the sense that I'm jumping up and down with glee because they traded for Smith, signed Robinson, DeVito, Fasano and Avery.

It's that I understand why these moves were made, can deal with it, see it and hope that they continue to build this roster with the goal of a solid 2013 season.

There's no going for broke this year. There's no single player on the market that can change the fortunes of the Chiefs and there's no single QB in free agency or the draft that immediately changes the fortunes of the franchise. So with that in mind, I get it and I'm fairly confident they're moving the franchise forward.

Moving the franchise forward may sound easy, but look how ***** ****ed up an already ****ed up franchise even further.

As far as the rest goes, I like Dorsey's pedigree, but Pioli has already proven just how valuable pedigree is. And I hate that the very first move was as horrendous a move as it was. It just rings same ol', same ol' with me. Same shit different decade.

I have no faith whatsoever in Andy Reid, either. It's not 2006 and the last several years of the Eagle franchise were downright frightening. And, again, he's apparently in love with Mr. Mediocrity out of SF. Which doesn't fill me with warm fuzzies.

It's hard to fault Clark though, he's spending shit tons on these guys. I'm not sure I fall into the crowd that thinks he's just trying to go 8-8 and keep the stands full. I think I lean more towards him wanting to win but having an unfortunate predilection towards bad front office decisions.

Alex Smith is not uncertain. It is certain that this team is trying the same thing that has failed 15 times in the past.

Yeah, that's the only bummer: It takes about 10 seconds or so to turn on and heat up. I'm usually so busy that sometimes, I'll hit the power button again, only to turn it off, because I'd forgotten if I actually turned it on! :D

What brand? Got a Sharp 60" and its amazing. Then again I went from a 53" 8 yr old projection TV that was the infancy of HD. The difference almost seems as great as going from standard to HD did. LED's are awesome, especially when sitting straight in front of them. Off to the side isn't great, but it's not a big deal. I also got lucky with mine. Sharp had to replace it due to an issue and they didn't have any in stock, so I got a massive upgrade on one.

Anyway, if this was your first time with that type of TV, I'm guessing you are rather enjoying it.

I just make sure I turn it on before I start getting settled in or turn the Directv box on. Usually by then it's on.

I've got two LCD LED Vizio's: A 42" in my "office" and a 37" in my wife's office. I mainly purchased them because of their heat and efficiency ratings, because I'm trying my best to do all I can to lower our electricity usage (I've replaced other appliances and our A/C unit as well).

I've got a 2012 LCD Sharp Aquos in the family room and that thing puts out some heat. Not a ton, per se, but you can definitely feel the difference when it's on for an hour or so and walk out of the room. Someday, I'll replace the remaining four LCD's with LED's.

I don't think it is going to be fun at all, because he is not going to be playing for our team for at least 6 years, and never if he is any good.

Cool. My Sharp is an Aquos as well. I'm not blown away by it's ability to show fast motion but I still am very happy with my choice, one I spend too much time on usually. Yeah my "man cave" doesn't do our bill any favors with the 3 TV's either.

One silly thing I like about it is the ability to turn off the video and leave the sound on. Whether it's listening to music on the sound system or falling asleep I feel it helps in the conservation attempt. I am someone who likes falling asleep with the TV on but not really for the visual aspect.

I have three Sharp Aquos and three Vizio's (2 LED's and one LCD). Believe it or not, I think I'll only purchase Vizio's from Costco in the future. They double the manufacturer's warranty for free and quite honestly, I think the Vizio's look just as good, if not better (LED).

Yeah it seems differences are getting smaller between the expensive big names and the value companies. Like I said I got really luck with the upgrade on my TV. I went from a decent level one to the highest quality Sharp has for free. The original was solid, especially compared to my old one, but this one is a lot better. Zero clouding which I enjoy because that drives me crazy.

Kaepernick also had 415 yards rushing in 7 starts...that's another 59 yards per game.

318 yards of offense per game average.
In that "9th" game Alex was 7 for 8 and a TD. Colin took over and lost the game.

We're really comparing 8 games to 8 games. Which dramatically changes the stats...Colin averaged about 20-30 yards more a game..and was not as efficient but had more big plays. His YPA was slightly better than Alex who was already doing quite well in that department. His running is what made Colin stand out..with that said, the rest of the team's running suffered for a while under Colin...then again, if Colin opens things up with his legs, who cares.

Colin is the better qb...but it's because of his legs..not his throwing. I really believe that Colin has what it takes to go to the HOF...Alex is a franchise QB and you're lucky to have him.

Sorter 03-13-2013 11:05 PM
I thought that the first game with Colin filling in was a tie...

LMAO I've totally done that.

It's that I understand why these moves were made, can deal with it, see it and hope that they continue to build this roster with the goal of a solid 2013 season.

There's no going for broke this year. There's no single player on the market that can change the fortunes of the Chiefs and there's no single QB in free agency or the draft that immediately changes the fortunes of the franchise. So with that in mind, I get it and I'm fairly confident they're moving the franchise forward.

Moving the franchise forward may sound easy, but look how ***** ****ed up an already ****ed up franchise even further.
I agree.

What an idiot. Yeah because Harbaugh chose to s hit on Alice Smith because he found a running back as QB?

You moron, Alexsexual. Stay out of the Niner forums you Alice lover!!

The whole "true fan" thing is nonsense anyway. It literally has no consistent meaning other than "guy who disagrees with my cynicism".

@ArrowheadAddict: Smith: I can't say how excited I am for it. Thankful for the opportunity.


I Agree with this tweet:

@Lance_THESPOKEN: Dorsey said the reason they signed Alex is because quote "He's shown he can play football at a very high level." WHEN????? #Chiefs




THE BEST ONE OF THEM ALL:

@Lance_THESPOKEN: Yes, Andy Reid just said they're gonna "work on getting Alex Smith in the Hall of Fame." Take it as you will, I didn't make it up. #Chiefs



They're already sold on Smith, way to keep your options open dick suckers:

@APdaveskretta: Andy Reid: "I'm going to tell you every position we try to create competition ... but I'll tell you, Alex is the starting QB" #Chiefs



Let me know when he's gone, I'm done with this shit organization.

@DannyParkins: Talked to #Chiefs GM John Dorsey away from the media and he says it's absolutely fair to say they view Alex Smith as longterm answer at QB.
but how will we reach you?

Because I think the Chiefs have made, essentially, lateral moves at QB. Thus, while it may be hyperbole to claim that the team has made no progress, it isn't substantial, meaningful progress, the type that leads to a championship.

The snaps that Alex Smith will take for this team are all wasted snaps in my view.

ceebz 03-14-2013 08:14 AM
Every year Smith is the starting QB on this team is another year wasted.

Signing these game managers to "get back to respectability" only delays the inevitable. Where in the hell is the logic in that?

That is true to a point. I think there is a decent definition of it that gets distorted by all the idiots that go extreme trying to make a point, thus loosing it. To me I think of a cool-aid drinker that prefers moves to help win short term so they can have a happy Sunday
vs thinking longterm. I'm not saying short term is always wrong, but its how they always think.

I don't think there are very many of that kind of fan (around here at least). And one of the most frequent uses of the term occurs when someone suggests that it wouldn't be such a horrible thing to draft an offensive tackle which is pretty clearly a long term play.

I think each individual might be able to come up with a coherent meaning for the way they think the term should be used, but since there is so little agreement about that meaning, the term is essentially meaningless.

I tailgate with a bunch of guys that have been going to the games since the early 1980s. I've been there since 1989. Two of the guys I tailgate with played college ball, and one now coaches at a small college. As a group, we are all excited as shit to see the team moving in a positive direction with a FO that seems to know how to improve the team. Do we all want a franchise QB? You bet. To a man, not one guy thinks anyone is worth 1.1 though.

It'll be alot of fun being a fan of the Chiefs over the next couple of years as they build this franchise back up to a winner.

Good luck with all that winning stuff. The tailgating should still be fine though.

What do u mean back Into a winner? When has this franchise been winners? The only thing that will happen if we don't get a young promising qb is failure. We may get a play off spot but this team won't seriously contend year in and year out til they decide they need to get with the program and do it the right way.
