What If The QBOTF Isn't There?

From the FanPosts -Joel

As we begin to accept that the Kansas City Chiefs will probably miss the playoffs and will be drafting in the top 15 next year, there is a lot of talk about who the Chiefs should be taking...OK, we've already been talking about it for a couple months now. Obviously, the majority of Chiefs fans are looking at QB with the first pick, and rightfully so. Personally, I agree. I would love for KC to get Andrew Luck, Matt Barkley, or Robert Griffin III.

However, I am a plan for the worst and hope for the best type of guy.

Star-divide
Looking ahead at the 2012 NFL Draft, I see some very worrisome possibilities in the Chiefs drafting the QBOTF with the first pick. It is a strong QB class with plenty of potential stars, journeymen starters, and quality backups. However, we have had our fill of journeymen and backups...we want our star. So, that limits our options to Luck, Barkley, and Griffin.

So what's the problem? There are several:

1. Indianapolis - The Colts have all but wrapped up the 1st overall pick, and with an aging Peyton Manning coming off of an injured neck, they would have to be crazy to pass over Andrew Luck.

2. Miami - Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. That's what everyone needs to be thinking when it comes to Matt Moore. The Dolphins would be nuts to put their future in his hands. The Panthers tried that, and now have Cam Newton...so the Dolphins will get Matt Barkley. Hmm, maybe the Chiefs should sign Matt Moore so we can get our QBOTF?

3. Washington - John Beck or Rex Grossman? Yeah, let's face it, the Skins will be going QB early this year. The good news here is that Landry Jones is rated higher than RGIII on some boards...so maybe the Chiefs dodge a bullet with that one.

4. Seattle - That bullet we just dodged? Yeah, it turned around and got us. Seattle gave up a 3rd rd pick for Charlie Whitehurst so they wouldn't have to draft a QB. They signed Tavaris Jackson so they wouldn't have to draft a QB. I really don't see this happening a 3rd time. Griffin just got snagged.

5. Arizona - Kevin Kolb failed miserably. There was some life with John Skelton, but that quickly fell apart as well. The Cardinals may be looking at a new coach and a new QB to go with him. If any of those top 3 are available, I just can't see them passing on that opportunity.

6. Philadelphia - What?! That's right, you heard me. Don't think for a second that the Eagles won't pull the trigger if the opportunity is there. Mike Vick started out great for them, but then he has steadily declined, just like he did in Atlanta. Vince Young has played well enough that he can probably get himself a pretty good opportunity somewhere else.

7. New York - Don't get it twisted, Mark Sanchez is playing for his future right now. Rex Ryan pulling him off the 1st team for a couple practices wasn't about him losing his job to Mark Brunell this year, it was about him losing his job to a new guy next season. Sanchez isn't down and out yet, but if the Jets don't make the playoffs? Well, Sanchez might want to warm up his clipboard arm.

So there it is. My list of concerns. And this doesn't include the teams like Chicago, Denver, and New Orleans who will be in the market for backups and future projects.

Now, the Chiefs do have the option to trade up. The Jets did it for Sanchez and the Falcons did it for Jones...but are the Chiefs in the same place as either of those teams? I look at the roster, and it sure doesn't appear that way. I'm not against a trade up, but I can't say I'm thrilled about the idea.

i'll never understand why this franchise can't see it...

I live 3 hours away and I would strongly consider buying season tickets if they drafted RG3. The only reason I haven't the past few years is because of the QB situation.

Ironic how this franchise only seems to care about money, but they won't make the one move that would guarantee an outrageous number of season ticket sales.

I think it's funny how Chiefs fans want RG3 now that Tebow is tearing it up.

Ya.... That's why people want RG3.

Because of Tebows 6 completions a game.

You just showed how little you really know about football if you're comparing the two.

Keep trolling.

You also need a coordinator like Gailey who can think outside the box and get the most out of those guys.

Tebow tearing it up??? Dude you need to get some reality. The team has been winning inspite of his type of play thus far. Not because of him.
RG3 and Tebow are not alike.

Because when people talk about RG3, it's about how halfway through the season, he had more PASSING TDs than INCOMPLETIONS.

When they talk about Tebow, it's about how he has more RUSHING TDs than COMPLETIONS.

Yeah, I can see the similarities.

That'll happen, most likely.

Call me when he throws for 200 yards and remind me about tearing it up. Call me when he completes 10 passes in a game again. Call me when he throws over 50% completions.

RG3s game is nothing like Tebow.

But if you tell me I have a choice between Flynn and a first round QB, well that isn't even a close choice.

Flynn was a 7th round pick, wasn't he?

There's a reason for that.

Thank you! Spot on. Glad someone finally said this.

I don't understand all of the Flynn love, and I'm even living in the heart of Packer territory. Not saying he's bad, but he played (very well, I'll admit) in one game. There just isn't enough of a sample size to determine anything with him at this point.

Nobody can troll like Knowmo.

Tebow is winning. And Hali is never held.

It's madness, I tell you.
