The thing that bothers me the most is that the Chiefs were in the perfect situation. The Chiefs could have drafted Clausen at #36 and it would have been the perfect situation for everyone.
1. The Chiefs get a QBoTF if Cassel doesn't pan out. 2. Clausen would come cheap as shit and he'd have a chip on his shoulder. 3. IF Cassel does pan out....then Clausen can sit and be an awesome backup for a couple of years. Look at the McNab/Kolb situation. That would have been us. But now if Cassel sucks...we're back to square one. If Cassel is good....then we're going to be going QB sometime soon because Cassel isn't ****ing young. |

Pioli is just taking a different route than what some people expected (playmakers vs. NT & ILB, etc.). |
It well could be that Weiss wanted Clausen but that Pioli asked him whether Clausen would be exponentially better than Cassel. Because, bringing in Clausen would be disruptive, leaving us in a position like when Quinn and Anderson were in Cleveland. We didn't need to burn #36 for a QB who was a modest upgrade over Cassel. I have to believe if Clausen was night and day better, Pioli might have used #36 to take him.
There are 3-4 good QBs avalable next year. Most teams have solved their QB problems. Oakland has Campbell. Cleveland got McCoy. Panthers got Clausen. Rams have Bradford. So, that leaves the Bills (unless Broehm or Edwards has a good year), the Redskins, and the Vikings needing QBs next year. The Vikes will pick behind us, so we could get one of the top 3 easily enough. There is no certainty that the Skins or Bills will want to use their #1 for a QB anyway. So, we get another year to see if Cassel rises to the occasion. If not, we are in excellent position to take a potential QBOTF next season, even though we might win enough games that we only have the 16th pick. |

But it worries me that a supposedly franchise QB was passed on 49 times. There has to be something to it. I was as high on Clausen as anyone, but something tells me there's more than just character concerns here. |

So, when the Chiefs have the opportunity to grab one of the great ones.... they need to do it. It isn't someone like Clausen who has entitlement issues and a slightly better than average arm. This isn't Matthew Stafford here. Now, I will say that I don't think that the Chiefs will have a chance to draft a QB in the top ten again for a while. On paper, they look like an 8-8 club. So, that puts them middle of the pack. That probably means that they won't draft a franchise QB unless they luck into one. All that said, it is still better than wasting a pick on Clausen. He may be a great QB someday, but just coming to the Chiefs wouldn't have helped him. #1) He has had Weis for the last three years. He would have felt even more entitled than he already does. He needed to have the wake up call of not being drafted by Weis. He needed to have the wake up call that the immaturity that he has shown is not acceptable. I still think the Panthers won't see much out of him.... but at least they got him in the best possible scenario. |
Cassel is NOT a great leader. We hope this improves. And we hope that he'll be a good game manager.
Right now, what "he is" is a piece of shit. 44/46. |

Clausen would be drafted by his old head coach which would have excused him immaturity and perpetuated bad behavior. Cassel isn't old. He has 9 years or so left in the league. Second round draft picks sign three years deals. He would be long gone by then. Clausen wouldn't do well as a backup. He would undermine Cassel. It is one thing to compete for a starting spot, it is another thing to pout when it doesn't happen. Clausen is a tool. He has always been a tool, and the one good thing that happened is that his former head coach didn't want him on this team. That may wake him up and help him to realize that the world doesn't revolve around him. |
Lol cassel is the man.

Again, if they have the opportunity to draft a top notch QB, they have my blessings. Drafting a QB with only marginally better talent that is also a headcase and has a nagging toe injury.... just doesn't make much sense to me. Why reach for a QB in a weak class? Seriously. Take a QB when he is going to be much better than what you have, not just marginally better. |

1. Pushing players. 2. Being demonstrative after others' errors 3. Saying that he graded perfectly after embarrassingly poor performances. Just because you want him to be a leader, doesn't mean that he is. In all areas, he's a worthless sack of shit. |

2) Says you. He is an entitled prick who is lucky that he is going to a brand new coaching staff. The love of Clausen is mind boggling even after he has dropped to the middle of the second round.... where, we all know that 'franchise' QB's aren't drafted. Heck, the team that drafted him didn't even have him in for a private visit..... they didn't know him well enough to realize he is an entitled prick apparently. It is the best spot for him. He could be successful, but the Clausen love? Unbelievable. |
