That's not true. Rich Gannon started putting huge numbers up at age 34.

Same thing for Trent Green at age 32.

Because of opportunity.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

I could see a scenario in which the Chiefs trade Albert to Philly for their 2nd and 5th round picks, trade their #8 overall to Buffalo and take either Lane Johnson (giving the Chiefs bookend OU tackles) or Fisher, leaving them with at least a #1 next year and two #2's this year.

Since the Chiefs obviously aren't in love with anyone at 1.1, they'll use the #1 overall pick and Albert to load up on future and second round picks. It seems like a great strategy, if it works, to me.

I would love that, but I have a hard time believing it could come true.

there have been more CBs, Safeties, LBers playing at a high level into their 30s than QBs since the dawn of the NFL and man invented fire and the wheel in a ****ing cave with dinosaurs

If Dorsey is smart, he'll take anything he can get for 1.1 and Albert. Just by moving down to #8 and trading Albert, he'll likely open up $8-10 million in salary cap space, meaning he can sign more players that can have an immediate impact in 2013, which appears to be their goal.

It's just crazy that the Chiefs moved up to draft Albert and that he only gave up 1 sack all year and that we are gonna trade him and replace him with the first pick in the draft.

I mean seriously...what's the difference between that and drafting a bust QB at one?

Everything would be fine right now if it wasn't for the Alex trade. Alex trade has now made Albert movable.

Haha

You're on a roll lately.

So, we traded what amounts to a mid to late first for a 29 year old game manager that is known for taking too many sacks even with an elite offensive line and you think a good way to build around him is to leave him without a left tackle?

I like it...that might just give us a pick high enough to have a second chance at drafting a QB at the top of te draft.

That doesn't invalidate Rausch's point.

Why not take the chance? It's like they are bending over backwards to NOT draft a quarterback.

If Dorsey is smart, he should play his best hand of Texas Hold 'em poker ever. Maybe can force a team to go "all in" instead of just grabbing a pot of no significant size. Especially with the Jags throwing in a "raise".

It has absolutely nothing to do me, it has to do with Dorsey and Reid's philosophy and the moves they've made this offseason.

I disagree. Take whatever you can get, whether it's a first in 2014 or a first and a second or whatever. They clearly don't want to be there and have let that fact be known since his first PC.
