Underclassmen QB's in the draft.

[Crush]

May we at least have SensibleChiefsfan's thread making capabilities taken away?

And if he had had a good day at the combine he would of been neck and neck with Stafford. I didn't get to watch but it sounds like he had everything to gain and didn't "git er done". This will be in the eval equation for him, it can't be undone.

Just ask me, I'm Sensible, I know.

But what about all that pressure? Isn't that the biggest issue?

Why is the sexual assault thing consistently brought up when it was completely thrown out at laughed about by the cops? The DA wanted to pursue this and they laughed and so go ahead and try there's nothing there.

And that is not remotely what I said there Zombie but hey don't let that stop you. People were questioning why his brother was working on his behalf and I brought that up nothing more nothing less.

I think the only knock on choosing his brother to represent him is that agents do a lot more these days than just figure out your press time and contract. I hope and presume that he has all his ducks in a row though. Hell, maybe this even means he's concentrating on football and not worrying about signing with the biggest corporate fish in the pond...

I believe he's also working with David Dunns firm so it's not just his brother and no one else.

Drew Bledsoe was an underclassman by the way.

Gilbert Gottfrieds take on Mark Sanchez:

Some have said that Mark Sanchez raped a young woman.It is shocking and terrible that some are saying that Mark Sanchez raped a young woman. If anyone has any evidence that Mark Sanchez raped a young woman then they should come forward with that evidence that Mark Sanchez raped a young woman.

Drew Bledsoe. The standard mecca hopes sanchez lives up to.

1994 playoff at cleveland 4 INTS in 20-13 loss

1996 played pretty well in 28-3 win vs Pitt

1996 played lousy in 20-6 win over JAX. Special teams blocked punt setting up a martin 1 yard td and defense scored another td

SB 31. Throws 4 INTS

1997. Defense scores a td in 17-3 win vs miami

1997. Plays awful in 7-6 loss at pitt

2001. Led team to one td and a fg in afc title game. Got a lot of credit for the drama of it but in fact was a mixed performance much like his career

Career playoff rating about 59

3 playoff wins

Chiefs "didn't win shit" teams of the 90's

3 playoff wins

The standard.

Your arguments are so weird. You pimp Roethlisberger and say stats don't matter because he's a winner, and then you pimp Bledsoe because he had nice stats and was an all pro, but couldn't win a big game.

Bledsoe got his team to the Super Bowl. He clearly won big games.

He was pretty awful in most big games, throwing 4 interceptions TWICE in the playoffs. Yes, he got his team to a Super Bowl, but mostly it wasn't because of his play.

This sounds remarkably similar to many of the Roethlisberger criticisms.

Look, he got his teams there. You need to stop at this. We're not talking about a marginally talented QB, like a Dilfer (ironically a high pick) or something.

Let's give the guy some credit. He's a borderline HOF talent. Not the greatest like some thought out of college, but damn good.

I'll say this, KC has never seen a QB with as much talent as Bledsoe. Many in this fan base still latch on to Green. Don't get me wrong, nice player, but talent wise not capable of carrying Bledsoe's jock.

Bledsoe was 4-3 in the playoffs and never lost to a team with a worse record than his team had. Also, I believe that he only had one 4 pick game, and that was in the Super Bowl.

Frankly, that's a better playoff record than Peyton Manning.
