Chiefs Missed this comment from Clark on QBs - Page 6

**the Talking Can** · 01-15-2009, 02:30 PM

just replayed it on 810, from petro interview

Clark talked about the fact that the Patriots drafted a QB almost every year, and went on to say "I'm sure Scott Pioli's teams will draft a QB every year...and we'll hit on one of them and that will be our franchise QB..."

2 obvious points:

1. Clark gets it - we have to have a QB, and we have to draft QBs to find the right one...doesn't mean we'll take one at #3, but it is a clear change from Carl...

2. Thigpen is not our franchise QB

And without doing the research, there are several late round QB's that also went the the SB and lost, Hasselbeck and Bulger being the most recent.

I said he was a piece of shit? Where?

JFC Dude, settle the **** down.

Regardless of the fact that no QB drafted in the 5th and 7th rounds have never won a Super Bowl and regardless of the fact that four Super Bowls were won by Joe Montana (a third round choice) and three were won by Tom Brady (6th rounder), the best chance of winning the Super Bowl is with a first round selection.

Brady and Montana were anomalies that skew the stats. Both weren't "System QB's" that won on flukes. It was fluke that both were overlooked by scouts. In hindsight, there's absolutely no question that both would have gone number one overall in their respective draft years.

It's not a fluke that both are Hall of Fame players.

They don't skew the stats at all, because I'm only counting them once.

27 QB's have won a SB. Some multiple times.

In hindsight, Stabler, Theismann and Unitas would have gone #1 too. What's your point? They didn't.

I didn't say anything about you, I said there are some that do.

And that's true.

SOME people have gone over the ****ing deep end to try to defend their position and look ****ing stupid doing it.

That cannot be disputed.

Odd are probably also increased if you have a shutdown corner or a future hof running back or a defensive end that leads the league in sacks. Point being that a there are plenty of areas to add a difference maker.

My philosophy (and as best I can tell it is Scott Pioli's as well) in round one particularly with the first 10 picks you want a player with minimal downside. If your choice are a guy that could be the next Tom Brady or could be the next Ryan Leaf pass on him for the guy you don't think will be a HOFer but you are absolutely certain is a 16 game starter. Guys you can get an excellent understanding of their capabilities from their college play. (that means no QBs) then in rounds 4-7 and with UDFA grab a couple of guys that could be diamonds in the rough or who could be total busts.

Mecca · 01-15-2009, 06:11 PM

Well at this point I think we should all hope it's a QB because well anyone who wants an end none of these guys are worth these picks...

I am unsure where you attended school, but 21 Pro Bowlers divided by 34 picks equals 61.7%. Are you exaggerating the stats in your favor a little bit? Now, to answer your response before you give it to us. 61% of top 5 QB picks making it to the Pro Bowl is just great, just an outstanding accomplishment, but only 20% of them have won Super Bowls. Isn't that what we all want? Did you listen to what Pioli had to say the other day? Building a team and he is not looking for Pro Bowlers. "Players go to the Pro Bowl, Teams win Super Bowls."

In hindsight, Tom Brady would have been the number one overall pick in 2000, bar none. He's a Hall Of Famer in waiting. The same goes for Joe Montana. Just because Montana was chosen in the third round doesn't automatically make ANY third round choice a potential Hall of Famer.

Stupid, stupid comparison.

Drew Brees was the FIRST pick of the 2nd round, not the last. Furthermore, his slide was predicated on the fact that the teams above him did NOT need a QB.

The Chiefs NEED the most talented QB they can find and if it's Stafford or Sanchez, either will be the finest QB that the Chiefs have ever drafted in ANY round.

He was the last.

Exactly.

People keep forgetting that this is a TEAM sport.

Why are there 3 #1 QB's left in the playoffs?

They play on great TEAMS.

Christ, one of them is there with a ROOKIE. I think that speaks to how solid the TEAM is.

b/c 3 out of 4 teams left in the hunt have the top 3 defenses? Not to mention the other did VERY well with turnovers?

I'm assuming that wasn't directed at me.

There's a difference in wanting a guy like Stafford or Sanchez (which I do) and believing that you HAVE to have a 1st round QB to win a SB.

It also helps that 3 out of the 4 teams had top 10 defenses this season.

My brain is really hurting after reading those posts from DT and the Samoan guy about there being no QB's worth being picked in the first 2 rounds..

There should be some kind of intelligence test you have to pass to post.

Exactly.

Anyone watch Inside the NFL last night?

The entire crew thinks Eli Manning is no better than the 10th-15th best QB in the league.

Three guys who played in the league, one of them as a SB winning QB, and they think he's average.

Yet, he's won a Super Bowl, so people here think he's the greatest ****ing thing since sliced bread.

Yeah, someone has been huffing a bit too much paint thinner.
