How many playoff games did those 13-3 teams win? Please, give us all a break. We're not being unfair to expect the Chiefs to win ONE playoff game in FIFTEEN years.

What? Deflecting by being purposefully obtuse is really unbecoming.

I'm not operating under any misconception. I never said you ARE scared of taking a QB.

Isn't that the lesson of Ryan Sims? As for having Pioli, you and Hamas and company are going to have to get used to the notion of team specific "value" as opposed to position or BPA. If Pioli thinkgs a kicker has more value than any other player on his draft board, you'll be getting a kicker.

By generally lumping me in with the people you don't agree with, you show that it's you that's operating under a misconception. Thanks for the lecture though.
