1.) I don't care who the Chiefs take at #3, or even if they use the pick rather than trading it.

2.) I trust that Pioli will have done his due diligence and will choose appropriately.

3.) I can understand why some people want to take Stafford/Sanchez.

4.) I can understand why some people DON'T want to take Stafford/Sanchez.

5.) The value of a blown pick at QB is NOT greater than the value of a successful pick at another position just because you could have drafted that other position successfully at a lower position. The reason is that the value of a bust is zero if it's a complete washout and nearly zero if it's just a crap player, and the negative impact of such a bust can be significant.

6.) I think it's moronic to attack people just because they don't like these QBs.

So, to summarize, you have no opinion on who we should take at three, other than appealing to authority (a classic logical fallacy) but all you do is argue why we shouldn't take a QB at three.

You also offer no possibility in your list of chance that a pick at QB might succeed. There is a tacit admission that failure is the only option for a QB prospect, and yet you wonder why we think that your points are guided by fear?

I also love the Leonard Davis/Robert Gallery argument.

"Well he sucked as a tackle, so we'll just move him to a position we can find in the fifth round while paying him 50 million bucks."

I personally, think it's moronic to bash these QBs, assuming that they will bust without looking at them as prospects.

But hey, in the last week I've heard that Stafford is dumb, me-first, arrogant, aloof from his teammates, and not a leader. Yet scouts gush that he has great intangibles with a high football IQ and is a leader.

I've also heard that Mark Sanchez is a rapist, a series of racial slurs (thanks CoMo), stupid for hiring his brother as an agent (when that's a 1/4 truth at best), selfish, and that he's not as good as JD Booty.

Sorry if I'm looking for a higher standard of proof on why these guys will definitely blow.
