Andy Reid on Metro Sports...

I linked this in the other thread from the Star article, but was unable to embed it last night. Thought it might deserve its own thread, especially since we're starving for Chiefs stuff right now. Good interview, and interesting stuff on the QB position... |
Nice to know that he trusts his scouts and his GM. Doesn't listen to the talking heads at the big networks.
|
Do the right thing for the Kansas City Chiefs.....that sounds good
|
Sounds he like he's drafting Geno to me.
He wants a QB that gives his teammates an opportunity to make a play. Is that Matt Cassel? No. Alex Smith? No. Flynn? No. Luke Jackoff? Hell no. |
It 's great to hear something intelligent from the head coach.

He must've been making the rounds yesterday, I saw a promo for an interview on KCTV5 while I was watching Elementary this morning.

Heh. I haven't seen Dave Stewart in years, but he looks a lot like Dana Carvey now...
|
"Whether we stay there OR trade back".
That certainly doesn't scream "QB #1 overall". |
Did Geno win a lot of games? ... Stanzi did :(

Reid saying that they might stay or might not stay where they are means nothing. It's just coach speak that we here from every coach/GM every year. His description of what he wants in a QB doesn't necessarily mean Geno, but it does imply that these "leftover" QB's isn't what Reid is after. Imo, his description of what he's after in a QB is more telling than "i might or might not move back" |

Coaches with the top pick in the draft that NEED a QB don't play games. Quote:
That is NOT what he said, at all. He said that footwork, throwing, etc. don't mean much to him. What DOES matter is that the QB elevates the play of those around him. Again, he also said very clearly that he'll do what's best for the Chiefs, whether that's staying at #1 or moving back. |

He was being purposefully pointed because he noted that he was going to (paraphrasing) "make this quick." |

The skill that is most important is that he wins football games. The great ones makes everyone around them better. They make everyone's game come up. Look, I'm making it short and sweet for you. We're not talking about the intangibles that go into it, we're not talking about the reads on time, we're not talking about the footwork, the arm strength, the hands, all those things. The bottom line is that guy doesn't have to the prettiest, but does he give you an opportunity to win football games and does he allow his players around him to raise their game up and go do that. |
Quote:
There are obviously a hell of a lot of specific details that allow a QB to win games and elevate the play of others. |

Andy Reid loves to move around in drafts, so I wouldn't completely rule out trading down for you guys. If you look at Reid's history in early rounds of drafts, he loves to move up and down.
Draft days are going to be exciting for you guys. If anyone here is a person who just tunes in around the approximate time the Chiefs are supposed to pick, that isn't going to work with Reid. You have to watch the whole draft, because he's always itching to make a move. |
Quote:
2nd, coaches don't give coach speak on who they'll draft? Especially this early? Yes, they do **** around plenty. Especially in February. The fact that he stated, "hey i might stay, i might move down" means nothing in February. Nothing. 3rd, im not sure what you're arguing here. I stated that he isn't describing Alex Smith or Matt Flynn at all. Do you believe Alex Smith a is QB who elevates the play of those around him? Once again, from his description, he's not talking about any of the QB's n this F/A class. |
Quote:
Now, that could mean any number of things but it seems like he won't shy away from a guy with warts, as long as he's a winner and leader of men. |

Who? |
Reid is Stanzi's uncle.
|
Cassel's jersey still in the background of the set
|
Quote:
I stated that it sounds like he's drafting a QB because his description does not fit any QB in the F/A class. So by deduction, he may be looking at a QB like Geno Smith. He certainly isn't looking at Alex Smith or Matt Cassel. At least not if he's being truthful, which i believe he is. |

:D Does it mean that guys like Philip Rivers and Bernie Kosar, two "winning" QB's with "weird" deliveries would pass the test? That he's not worried about "correctable" things like footwork and delivery, as long as the guy is a leader that can will his team to victory? If that's the case, and I'm not stating that it is, because he wasn't specific enough to state unequivocally, that would seem to open the door to many QB's in the upcoming draft. The Combines can't get here soon enough for me. |

He was saying, after making it short and sweet, that it's not intangibles, arm strength, etc. But he ended it with cutting himself off from saying hand size.
Interesting point, that is all..... |
Quote:
yeah, bolded part. Listened to a couple more times and it really sounds like he was starting to say hand size, not the hands. Not that it's really a big difference, but..... not saying it's the aliens, but it's the aliens. |
See ya Cassel.
|
No game managers
|
Are we sure that wasn't Wilford Brimley?
|
He said there was alot of energy with Drafting McNabb and there will be with this first pick! if its at all true, there is no way we take Luke. There is absolutely no energy there with that pick! If they do draft him, its going to be Cleveland stadium with the Factory of Sadness.

Quote:
Eagles fans hated the pick. |
Is it possible that he is indirectly taking a shot at Geno Smith with the "will his team to victory" line? Lets face it, WV was only 7-6.

Reid must have thought so as well or the Eagles wouldn't have spent a second rounder on Feely in 2001 or on Kolb or Kafka, etc. |
eh, he was a good QB, not a great QB. at his peak, he was good enough to win you some playoff games. that's a shit-ton better than we've had in a LONG time, but I want for us to hoist some lombardi trophies. let's hope we can get better than 'good'
|
I'm so sick of trying to read into this nonsense.

If McNabb had the current WR's they have in Philly he would have probably been all world. For the most part he had shit to throw at...
He was good, not great, but maybe with some better players around him he would have been better than he was? |
Quote:
Don't get me wrong, I think McNabb is a solid QB. But TO is one of the top 10 greatest WRs of all time. |

Well, a year and a half

McNabb was absolutely great during his run in Philly.

Quote:
Pinkston? Avery? Who else did he have that was worth a shit? (other than the year TO was there and they went to the SB) |

http://www.pro-football-reference.co...M/McNaDo00.htm His 2004 numbers were the best of his career by far. Other than that, the only time he was a 60% passer was when it didn't matter. |
Quote:
I've read more negatives about him than positives, outside of this site, of course. The biggest knock is that he's a crybaby. True or not, that's a stigma he's carrying among scouts and agents. |

Oh. And I used to think he was a "crybaby" also a few months ago. Then I actually took the time to look into all of his interviews and dig into his personality. Even he admitted his body language was poor at times. But he's not a cry baby. Hopefully he can work on that body language though. |

I have literally, outside of iPhone posts and late night posts, had no time for anything for the past five weeks. As I've stated so many times, I'm not condemning Smith nor have I ever stated I don't want him. But with that said, my time is limited and I've read more negative than positive, outside of this forum. My statement wasn't made to be an indictment of his abilities. |
