Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers meant the Packers didn't have a a good one? |
Quote:
Favre was in his mid 30s when Rodgers was drafted and "Retired" for his first time only 2 seasons later. Hardly the same circumstance at all. Now if Favre was brought into the Packers the year Rodgers was drafted you would have an argument. But that would have been a stupid thing to do, wouldn't it? |

Drafting Geno Smith doesn't. I am sorry you don't like it, but I will bet dollars to donuts it simply doesn't happen. |
Quote:
Or Matt Flynn and Russell Wilson. Or RG3 and Kirk Cousins. What a stupid plan that would be. Jim Harbaugh, Pete Carroll and Mike Shanahan are all idiots. |
Quote:
then you still cling to maybe the trade won't happen keep hope alive, man. LMAO |

Meanwhile Trent Dilfer, Mark Rypien, and Brad Johnson agree with you. |
Quote:
Rodgers got to chillax and learn a couple seasons behind a legend...who is to say he didn't learn a TON from favre...... Does your question just assume the results would be the same? Or is there any acknowledgement that playing behind favre a couple seasons couldve helped rodgers a lot? |

Or maybe they understand the value of the quarterback position a little better than you do. |
Dorsey just cheesed out on the radio when Kevin K asked about drafting a QB.
Never say never |
Quote:
I am not saying having two good QBs is a bad thing. I am saying the Chiefs are not going to use their #1 to get another QB after just acquiring their starter. They will want an immediate impact player for the number one pick of the draft - it will be expected. Is it the right thing? I don't know. I know it is speculation to assume that Geno is a starter and an immediate impact player - too much speculation for the Chiefs front office. It simply won't happen. |
Quote:
But the average fan doesn't want the overall #1 to sit on a bench for 2 years, it doesn't make sense to them. Thus it won't make sense to the front office. |

For example: Every 7 or 8 years we are told how important the "new" mobile quarterback is to the game. And after two or three seasons of major injuries and pocket passers winning the big game, it goes back to the same routine. Staubach is the only true mobile QB to win a Superbowl (although an argument could be made for Steve Young). I am curious though, A question for you and those that do support bringing in Geno Smith, do you then believe Joe Flacco deserves his contract? After all, he is the epitome of "Throwing every resource" at the QB position, isn't he? |
Quote:
Ok that's out of the way. Now last year the redskins gave up their first, a second, two later firsts and a fourth for two quarterbacks. They went to the playoffs playing in the same division as Andy Reid. He played that shitty teamtwice a year for quite see time and then saw first hand what spending those picks did for them. Why is it so far fetched to think he would spend a first and two seconds for two guys? Posted via Mobile Device |

Hell Brett farve and Matt hasselbeck, neither could be good by that thinking.
Farve and brunell, farve and Aaron Brooks. now guess where our GM worked when all those combos of two starting caliber qb's where put together... Posted via Mobile Device |

Either one makes as much sense as the other Posted via Mobile Device |
Oh and **** yeah flacco deserves his contract

They drafted hasselbeck in 94 iirc. Brunell in 98 Brooks in 99 All iirc, could be a year off on one or two but I think it shot your argument all to shit anyway Posted via Mobile Device |

Did you fall down anytime recently? bump your head? Surely you don't think that if it doesn't make sense to fans it won't make sense to the front office. Please tell me you are kidding Posted via Mobile Device |

let's revise the bet. To ANYONE who cares to take it, I will make it up to 3 times ($150.00 out of my pocket) with three different people on this board. 50 bucks to the winners' favorite charity(ies) - I bet if the Chiefs keep the #1 that they do not take Geno Smith. Overall #1 picks do not ride a bench for two years. I can't think of a single one going all the way back to Bill Sims in the 1980 draft. Any takers? |

Should be easy money for you then. Take the bet against me, name your charity and make them 50 bucks. When you lose I need a check mailed to me completed for the Eddie Kennison Lupus Foundation. I will supply my address to you privately if you take the bet. |

Okay Pawnmower. I will make the bet with you. I bet the Chiefs do not take a QB with the OVERALL #1 pick in the 2013 draft. If they do I will gladly send you a check for the chess club. If they don't, you send me a check for Eddie's charity. Deal? |

We will see how they do next season. |

You either have a QB or you don't, so yeah it's worth spending that much.
They have one (Super Bowl Champs contend every year) We don't (2-14 with 8 probowl caliber position guys/ no playoff wins in several decades) |
Welp I guess we'd better draft Barkley 1 and trade 3-7 for another one.

You'd split the loyalties of both offense and defense, especially if there was a bad game or two, and completely mind **** your team by even making such a move. Alex Smith will be the guy in 2013. Love it or hate it. |
Quote:
If they think Geno as a good chance at being top notch, but also has a flaw that scares them about him, why not hedge their bets by signing a guy that can hit the field right away while Geno learns the offense, the play calls, the protections, the personnel and has time to be prepared? Alex Smith gives them a dependable game manager that is a top notch teammate so that if the Geno pick doesn't work out, they don't fall flat on their face because of it...but if it works out they look lik complete geniuses. Just like the guys who selected Kaepernick, Wilson and Rodgers. |

Geno Smith has too many questions around him, making his value much lower than #1 overall. |
