Ideally, you take a good prospect while Smiff is still on the roster, so as not to cause panic among the more weak-stomached folk.
I think you give too much credit to the average football fan.

Yeah, after I posted that I remembered some of the many and sad things I have read on Facebook and other, lesser Chiefs outlets and came to the exact same conclusion.

:(

No, of course not... but I do believe Clark has given Dorsey the leeway to do what he believes is best for the team

If that meant enduring an off year while a rookie or second year QB took his lumps, I'm sure Dorsey would be allowed to make that call

The Hunts wipe their butts with money, they'd let John Dorsey make the call IMO

Those of us who post here 365 days a year forget we're not the norm when it comes to football fans.

Therein lies the problem. A high draft pick QB can set your team back for several years. It's not like the Chiefs are based in one of the big money markets. The teams in big cities can absorb the loses from down years a helluva lot better than ones based in flyover country.
Just my opinion but I think that has a helluva a lot to do with our last 1st round QB draft being so long ago. Especially now with revenues being what they are.

That didn't stop Green Bay from selecting Rodgers in the 2nd, and I'm pretty sure someone can come along and point to another small market team picking a QB high, not getting the desired result, and then moving on down the road without keeling over dead as a franchise.

Your right, what I've posted probably doesn't apply to most teams. But I think it does to our team.

By the way, Green Bay ??? bad example. Hell, the fans own the team. lol

Appears to me that it just as risky to take someone else's free agent and hope for a gold mine:

Rodgers was in the 1st round.

Aikman/Elway/Young Tom Brady were all game managers when they won their set of rings. Brady has only won a single lombardi since he moved to the "elite level" in 2006. Russell Wilson is a premier game manager and has gone to two superbowls in a span of 3 seasons.

Effective game managers = Winners

It's certainly turned out that way hasn't it ? JMI but I think it's looked at as a risk of being average with a retread (you now what your're getting) vs boom or bust with a 1st rnd draft pick.
Who knows for sure why they do what they do. None of us are privy to those meetings.
Hell, if it owned the Chiefs I'd be very happy with the current business model. Steady as she goes, we're making millions here. Don't rock the boat.

Then where did this shit I've been reading for years on this site about round 2 Rodgers come from?

In any event, it only strengthens the case. If you had Favre and selected a 1st round QB, then all QB's should be man enough to accept the franchise decision and not get their manginas twisted in to knots.
