Pioli Says The Chiefs Aren't Looking For A Quarterback
Source links in the linked post.
http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2010/2...pioli-says-the Around 10:30 this morning I was listening to Nick Wright on 610 Sports and he mentioned Jon Yoon's post from this morning Basically, Yoon gave his thoughts on five myths he felt surrounded the Chiefs quarterback situation. His feelings are summed up pretty well in the title: "It's Okay To Draft Jimmy Clausen...And Yes, It Could Happen." He raises a few interesting (and debatable) points. Wright, who had some nice words for AP, strongly disagreed. "Jon Yoon wrote on Arrowhead Pride -- it was posted at 6:20 this morning -- that it's okay if the Chiefs draft Jimmy Clausen and yes it could happen," Wright said. "No, it's not okay and no it can't happen!" Here's a link to the 610 Sports podcast. It's about 25 minutes in. Well, if you're into believing GMs at the NFL Combine, then Wright is, uh, right. Chiefs GM Scott Pioli said today that the Chiefs aren't in the market for a quarterback and Matt Cassel is the starter (and future) moving forward. Of course, this won't change the rumor mill from churning. Due in large part to the Charlie Weis connection, I suspect we'll continue to hear folks suggest it's not so crazy if the Chiefs draft Jimmy Clausen. |

Well, duh. Bill Williamson said they were going to draft an offensive tackle.

Trade Cassel to Denver. Draft Clausen. McDaniels is happy, Weiss is happy, everybody's happy.

With Weis on board, you can be certain they're considering it. Weis will want his own guy and he's high on Clausen. The first real tug-of-war in this new staff.

IDK, I personally don't think Pioli is the type of guy that's going to swayed by his offensive coordinator for an enormous franchise changing decision like this. If anything, maybe they (GM, HC, head of scouting) might think Weis is too biased and can't be impartial and think even less of his opinion? Just some thoughts. |

It's definitely unwise to trust a two-time Super Bowl winning offensive coordinator's opinion, especially when he developed the player in question. I'm sure that the scouts are far more knowledgeable in their evaluations of Clausen. |

But as far as the decision process I'd think that the Director of Scouting's opinion is typically going to carry the most weight. And Crennel's got the same qualifications as Weis, he'll push for a defensive player. Just an interesting, unique situation this year. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in KC's war room when they discuss this stuff. |

I don't think it's even possible to not spend a large portion of your consideration on the Clausen situation. It's not like Weis is just some OC that Todd is talkin too They've spent a lot of time together. Weis' credentials are in order. If Weis tells him this guy is the real deal, I think Todd will listen to him. |
