Being a scardy pants won't get you anywhere. You've got to try shit to make things happen.

Unfortunately I'm afraid the organization has the same view as yourself.

someone in another thread said something like 'You can never take the hottest chick in HS to the prom if you don't even ask her out"

....yeah, the Chiefs have been asking out the creepy chick that smells like band-aids.

I don't know what my view is yet. All I'm saying is there may not be an elite QB in this draft. The possibility has to be acknowledged.

Clark - fold the team & have Whiteman use Arrowhead as a B-2 bunker busting testing facility

History says that you are correct.


2013 - Draft best QB in 1st round
2013 - Draft another good QB prospect
2014 & 2015 - Draft a good QB prospect in the 2nd or 3rd round (Both years)

2016 - Rinse and repeat if none of the QBs work out


Short version: Constantly have QB's coming in to develop so that we can use them or trade them for more picks.

Jimmy Clausen wouldn't have been any worse than Brady Quinn and Matt Cassel.

Jimmy Clausen's record wouldn't have been worse than a 2-fer.

That's no justification.

It has been acknowledged. And it's been addressed.

There's also no elite LT, nor do we need one.

There's potentially 2 elite pass rushers but one of them has a health issue and we already have 2.

That leaves QB and DT. Do you want a defensive tackle?

Sure it is. Because Jimmy Clausen MIGHT have been better, too. His floor was 2-14, which is what we have now. Nothing but upside.

We've tried EVERY method of acquiring a QB short of drafting one in the 1st round.

There's only 1 thing left to do.

This is not how NFL teams operate. You know better.

Any Elite RBs ?

So should we just throw up our hands then?

I mean, that's where we've arrived at isn't it?

No. In fact, there might not be a single RB with a 1st-round grade.

:facepalm: I love how it's either one extreme or the other around here constantly.

Any NFL team that has a clue needs to draft one QB every draft.
