Chiefs Hey chiefs fans - Page 5

tooge · 03-09-2013, 12:37 AM

Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. It's been a long time and alot of bad decisions and bad breaks. 18 Years really, since the Chiefs were relevant.

I know you all forgot, it's been soooo long. Guess what? This is how a young, smart, hungry GM and head coach go about improving the product on the field now, and setting the franchise up for Yeats of success in the future.

These guys are movers and shakers. They are doing what it takes, not only to win now, but it's going to be evident by the end of FA and the draft, that the future is being planned as well.

So, this is how it is done. You can save this post and call me out in five years if you wish, but I'm pretty sure we've finally got a leadership team we can count on.

I know he has recently but I can't recall if he did in 08.

DeCosta has been the heir apparent in Baltimore for a long time, and given the structure of that organization, I wouldn't want to leave either.

For example, if KC took Geno/Barkley at 1.1 and Smith didn't play at an elite level but served as an effective mentor and helped them progress faster/better, would you still think the trade wasn't a good one?

Yes, because we used a second round pick (plus!) to get a mentor. If you want to build through the draft, you don't trade a second for a QB who will start 1-2 seasons.

If I were an owner, I'd have thrown ridiculous amounts of money and hookers and cars and exotic pets and boats and whatever he wanted.

Alex Smith is better than Cassel, but it will not translate into dramatically better play at the QB position that this franchise needs.

Now answer mine.

That wasn't my question, nor was it my point.

Wow. And you call yourself a medical resident.

Ok, I've got insomnia.

Please answer this question. Is the FO not doing everything POSSIBLE TO THIS POINT in the season to better the team?

You know, I agreed with this sentiment in 2009. But four years later, I wonder about his competitive spirit and competence.

I'm not stating that he's a failure or will fail without Ozzie but at some point, you have to question a guy that's content with being #2.

That's pretty much what Clark did with Pioli. I personally believe that in order for a hire to work out the employee has to be competent and happy and hungry to be there. If DeCosta didn't want to leave, as much as I respect his football acumen, I probably wouldn't give him the Ted DiBiase treatment.

They haven't traded for Aaron Rodgers or Eli Manning or Colin Kaepernick or Andrew Luck yet, so the answer is no.

Walrus · 03-09-2013, 01:29 AM

Smith alone makes this team 8-8 or 9-7, but after the draft when we improve we will be an 10-6 or 11-5 playoff team.

Go Chiefs.

I don't call myself anything. I'm a medical student and not understanding your broken logic doesn't change that.

Now, answer these questions:

Elite QB to win: yes or no?

Is Alex Smith elite: yes or no?

Give me a two word response. That's all I ask.

Elite QB to win? No.

Alex Smith "elite"? No.

Now, take a rectal thermometer and go **** yourself.

Alex Smith is not elite(yet

), but where can we get an elite QB? Alex Smith was the best QB available.
